| - Just thought I would go ahead and warn people before restaurant week, since I went here for the first time during restaurant week last year and it left such a such a bad taste in my mouth. A year later and I'm still pretty triggered.
Yes the food is great, it better be for the price, but if you are coming during restaurant week be prepared for terrible service. (As far as I know, everyone I know who comes here outside of restaurant week has never had any issues with their service. Unfortunately my experience was totally different.)
Dropped by with two girlfriends who wanted to try it for restaurant week. As soon as my friends and I arrived and said we were here for the restaurant week menu, you could practically see the distaste all over our servers face. I'm guessing he doesn't make as much in tips during these events because it was practically written all over his face.
Talk about being treated like peasants.
- First off, we did not get all the items that were part of the course. We thought the course was a bit sparse and had to add al la carte items to fill up. Only to find out later (when we double checked the menu) that we did not get all our items. To this day, I am still not sure if this was due to complete neglect on the server's part or a ploy to get us to add al la carte items to bump up the bill. Neither is a good look.
- Spotting the server was like trying to spot a white rhino in the wild. We were obviously not worth his time.
- The wait times between courses was ridiculous (5-10 minutes between the time we finished a course till the next course came. Keep in mind the courses are tiny and its a 10+ course meal) Then towards the end, he must of decided he was tired of playing his own game, because he just dropped everything off at once and fled the scene.
- The server initially spent plenty if time trying to convince us to order one of their regular courses, not the restaurant week/charity course. Which I found hilarious, because it was at this point we should have known everything was about to go downhill.
All in all, this place might be worth coming to on a normal day, but is only worth it if you don't care much for your dignity during restaurant week.
I cannot express how distasteful it is to do this during a charity event. It practically screams that the charity doesn't matter and that this is only done for the PR. Here's and idea. If your going to do a charity event to save face/look good and your servers are going to act like pretentious c*nts, make it a higher end charity event. Or better yet, make it a takeout food event. That way us plebeians can have the luxury of trying your food and you don't have to be soiled by our presence.
Luckily one of the girlfriends I was with has a boyfriend who is a manager at one of the Japanese restaurants on the strip. He was able to talk to someone from Bazaar and we were offered a redo. However, at that point the other girlfriend and I were so irritated, neither of us cared to go back. (That's right, even at the prospect at free food from a high end restaurant we could not be tempted to go back. That bad.) Had another close friend offer to take me back since he regularly comes for the suckling pig (and can't rave enough about it.) Nope. Nope nope nope.
So good luck trying this place out this week. May the odds be ever in you favor.
And to Bazaar, I hope you get your servers to hide their complete distain for this charity event a bit better this year.
