| - The ambiance of this restaurant has all the makings of a very nice fine-dining experience. Dim mood lighting, sleek restaurant design, a panoramic view of the Las Vegas Strip.
The food and the service, however, did not meet our highest expectations. While our actual server was very hospitable, minor hiccups from the rest of the staff detracted from the experience.
Celebrating our wedding anniversary, we were greeted with a "Congratulations on your wedding today, oops.. anniversary!" Our reservation note also requested for one high chair. We waited almost 10 minutes for the table to be setup upon arrival to a nearly empty, just opening restaurant. When we were walked to our table, two high chairs were prepared, causing more time to get the table 'reset'.
We ordered the calamari and shrimp for our appetizer. This was probably the best of our entire meal. My wife had a shrimp and scallop risotto which was neither impressive nor worth it's hefty price tag.
I ordered the "assorted grilled fish" entree which came with a side of spinach. The lobster was prepared well but fairly small. The scallops were a bit burnt. The salmon was too salty to taste while I could not even stomach another darker fish on my plate.
We opted to not see a dessert menu, nor was there any anniversary dessert offering, but we were ready to check out. The bill was high, Strip restaurant prices, for food lacking quantity or quality. Sometimes the view is not enough worth for what you pay for.
