| - Although I was here months ago for the Yelp Elite Event - LV Confidentail, I had to return once as a standard patron to properly assess this establishment.
Yes, I was still impressed. The bartender who was working upon my arrival was also the manager on shift, yet proceeded to talk about great classic cocktails and variants of such that intrigued me. I enjoyed a couple unique Old Fashions and then proceeded to dinner. The layout of the restaurant is ideal for someone who enjoys watching others interact. Sitting in one of the half-round booths lining each wall of the rectangular room and all facing the center, one (or more) can gaze upon the other diners and ponder the situations in your imagination. First dates? Romantic rendezvous? Scandal? Probably a little of each, or maybe none at all, but the atmosphere and the setting lends your mind to wander.
The waiter comes to the table and presents a highly skilled rendition of the scripted dinner options for the evening, and hits every bit word on the spot. Wine recommendations come quickly and, as far as I know, knowledgeably. He could offer me Julio & Gallo and I'd be none the wiser. I stick with my cocktails.
Food came timely, presented artistically, and prepared deliciously. I would have had 2nds of everything.
The best part comes when the bill arrives and is surprisingly 1/2 of what I had expected to shell out for the evening. Voila! More funds for the next stop, just up the road, which I mentioned in a previous review. Where was that tux again?....
