My husband and I decided to dine here to celebrate his birthday and our wedding anniversary. We have been living here in Las Vegas for a year, but have never been inside the Stratosphere. There are signs in the hotel that direct you to the restaurant, although it is quite a walk (well at least it seemed that way the first time). They make you walk through the Tower Shops, so you may run into the annoying sales people who work in the kiosks. After you check in, they will send you through a security checkpoint. So leave all your weapons and anything illegal at home, LOL. Dress code is business casual, although we did see a few people wearing jeans.
Well the best thing about this place is the view! We went at night and it was amazing! The restaurant revolves 360 degrees every 80 minutes and it goes slowly so you don't really feel like you are moving. I think the motor was underneath or near the booth that we sat in because every so often we felt our butts vibrate!
The food was alright, but honestly I was expecting much more from a restaurant like this. We ordered:
-Roasted Scottish Salmon with creamy Fennel Sauce: I know that salmon is salmon. But this one was very tasty. The Fennel sauce added a lot of flavor.
-16 oz. Rib Eye: my husband ordered this and said that it was one of the best tasting steaks ever!
-Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes: nothing special, just regular mashed potatoes. But it turned cold very quickly :(
-Ricotta Gnocchi Mac and Cheese: the pasta was very overcooked and they went overboard with the truffle oil.
-Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Lollipops: You dip these in vanilla sauce and crushed Oreos. Each order comes with 2 lollipops. They were good but a little too sweet for me.
-Ice Cream: one huge scoop!
Customer Service was average. Our server was nice but it seemed like he was rarely around. The people who refilled our drinks were very attentive. Also, the woman who was taking pictures at every table passed by and ignored us a few times. Maybe she has something against Asians?
Honestly, I don't feel like I would want to come back again. The price and the quality of the food was just not equal. But I'm glad I got to experience this!
