| - I really wanted to love this place since it's right up the road from my house. Aesthetically, this restaurant is gorgeous. The outside patio is perfect for an afternoon lunch. And, the inside is very sophisticated. It has a cute round table area with candies. However, I am not entirely sure how relevant it was for the restaurant since I didn't see any items with candy on it. The only thing missing was a dedicated area where guests would go to see a hostess. No hostess stand, so we were just kind of wandering the restaurant in a confused manner.
As far as the food goes... the food was good. Nothing spectacular, but good. The chicken and waffles appetizer was good. However, the spicy syrup had no kick to it. I am a lover of spicy, so I was particularly disappointed in that aspect. The side of corn was fantastic. The mash potatoes and gravy were way too salty, and the gravy didn't have that great of a flavor. The mac 'n' cheese was good. I was not entirely impressed with the chicken sandwich. But, the fried chicken pieces were pretty good.
The service was relatively good. It seemed like they still had a few things to work out since they were so new. But, overall, the service was very good. The servers were very attentive. However, a few things slipped through the cracks. Initially, we asked what was good. Our server raved about the chicken and waffles appetizer. We didn't actually order it, but she put it in as an order. So, it came. We were hungry, so we dove in, anyway. It was good. So, that wasn't really a problem. Then, there were just a few pet peeve things. But, overall, was still satisfied with the service.
Price. This is the main thing that was a turn-off for me. I know this is Summerlin, but the prices were similar to the Strip. It was very expensive for what it was. It did not have anything particularly special about it to warrant the price. For two people, our bill ended up being $80 (with tip). And, we ordered a soda, a cocktail, the appetizer (again, which we didn't technically order), a chicken sandwich, a fried chicken entree, and one side. They said they had to charge us for extra sauces, so that was an additional $2. It was just a lot for fried chicken.
Overall, I will probably not be returning. I just can't justify the price for the food. The service was good. The place is beautiful. The food is good, but nothing special.
