| - Wow, where's Restaurant Confidential when you need them? For an establishment in such a prime location touting a very high end menu and rock star chef branding, you would think that the dining room staff wouldn't be the sad end of amateur hour. The dining room is not large, there were plenty of waiters milling about, so I'm not sure why the service was so spotty. Orders were forgotten, mixed up, glasses of high end single malt scotch were filled with crushed ice, even when explicitly instructed otherwise. Pretty much every milestone in the dinner (ordering drinks, ordering appetizers, getting food, getting post-meal drinks, getting the check) was preceded by a painfully long wait for a waiter who managed to disappear from view for long stretches of time. Being that this was a weekday, my assumption was that the pro-level service was reserved for Friday nights and weekends. Unfortunate, to say the least, that the poor-service ended up being such a distraction for a great meal. The "Duck Two-Ways" was stellar, and considering the quality ingredients and preparation, the serving sizes were stunningly large. Patio views overlooking the Bellagio fountain, firing off every 15 minutes, a great place to eat, but come on a Friday.
