| - So I think American Barstaurants should just quit trying to make Asian fusion stuff... If it's not good and they make perfectly fine American/Western dishes, why bother? But I'll not let that deter what is always a great time at this chain restaurant/bar with fine service. I've been to several locations of this joint - Pasadena, Irvine, 2 locations in Vegas - and they are very consistent in what they have to offer.
I was in Vegas over the weekend to catch up with my friends and see if my brother is keeping the house in shape, and the gang of us decided to gather here for lunch. I honestly cannot remember everything we ordered here, but off the top of my head: lobster crab artichoke dip, seared ahi, california roll, and sweet korean bbq beef for apps, and fish & chips, thai chicken noodle salad, grilled pastrami, and a couple of burgers for entrees. I tasted all the apps and my fish & chips.
Ahi - good, a bit bland
Artichoke dip - good, a bit bland
California rolls - interesting shape like pie pieces, but tasted pretty standard
Korean bbq beef - meh, my main complaint about the Asian fusion thing
Fish & Chips - great fish, great chips
Pastrami looked really good, as did the burgers.
As I said great service up-and-down, sufficiently noisy for lunch for vibrance, and the absolute best thing - Boddington's on tap!!!!
Table-for-1 Factor: It's big enough and bar is absolutely huge with lots of TVs, so I think it should be fine. Maybe except on weekends...
