| - One of the WORST dining experiences I've had in Las Vegas, and this restaurant gives Emeril Lagasse a bad name. Hopefully things have improved since I dined here over 9 months ago (June 2014). My friend made reservations a few weeks ahead of time for her Bachelorette Party dinner (6:30pm on a Friday), and our table was ready upon arrival. The restaurant wasn't that busy at that time, but they ended up seating another large party at the table right next to ours, so it got pretty loud and difficult to talk. Also, our food took forever to come, and even though the other table sat down after us, they got their main dishes first. We had to follow up with our servers a couple of times to ask where our food was, which was super annoying. We tried:
-Complimentary Roll (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg&select=lOFU-u16Qf-At8sFyb-c7w): Good, especially with extra butter.
-Candied North Country Farm Bacon ($10, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/table-10-las-vegas?select=aABRFwUVibxfko3LsCuPug#aABRFwUVibxfko3LsCuPug): Yum, this was probably my favorite dish of the night, and a must order for any bacon lover.
-Truffle + Lobster Mac-n-Cheese (Trio of Cheeses, Real Truffle, Lobster, $19, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/table-10-las-vegas?select=aABRFwUVibxfko3LsCuPug#QtqUtF_UXKbrH7-6ZcINRA): Just ok- I was definitely disappointed since this is supposed to be one of their "signature" dishes. The mac n cheese was bland, and although you could see the pieces of lobster, you couldn't taste it. Skip!
-Sriracha Chicken Wings (Cucumber Buttermilk-Pickled Vegetables, $13, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/table-10-las-vegas?select=aABRFwUVibxfko3LsCuPug#2H8xRZiBNIxFBqub3UbYqQ): The flavor was ok, but some pieces were straight up RAW in the middle. Since we had to leave at a certain time and our food took so long to arrive, I ended up just cancelling this order. We barely got a apology (the server didn't even seem concerned) but at least they took it off our bill. Skip!
-Emeril's Banana Cream Pie (w/Chocolate Shavings, Caramel Sauce, Whipped Cream, $10, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/table-10-las-vegas?select=_WXrRH36kqd_URMZIKVJPA#_WXrRH36kqd_URMZIKVJPA): Pretty good. This was a big portion, and you got a good amount of bananas, but I wished there was a bit more whipped cream.
Overall, the food was way below par of the other Emeril restaurant I've been to (Delmonico's in New Orleans), as was the service. The servers were all flocking to the other table with the large party next to ours, and we were sure it was because they were ordering a lot of alcohol than our table. I think the manager came by at one point to talk to the other table and chomp it up (I saw his title on his nametag) and our table just got a short "Hope you're having a good meal" sorta thing. I hope they improve their food quality and service soon, since there are plenty of other nice restaurants in Las Vegas to dine at. I will definitely NOT be back here again, and hope other people see this review and think twice about dining here also.
