| - I came here for the happy hour. I got there and had a complimentary glass of wine with my yelp checkin. The wine was quite good too. The bartender was very friendly and took very good care of me.
I ordered the tartare and wings because she recommended them. I also got the pepperoni pizza and parm meatball slider.
Very glad that I ordered the tartare. Very good recommendation. Wasn't sure how pickled veggies would taste in tartare but it was pretty good. I'd order it again.
The pepperoni pizza had a little bit of a spicy kick to it but nothing I couldn't handle and the crust was very good. Tasted like it had been made in a brick oven. No soggy parts on it even the middle was nice and crispy. I would have liked for it to have a little more cheese on it but nonetheless very tasty. I'll be getting that again.
The tartare and pizza came out first and I ate it. After finishing the pizza and tartare I Waited about five minutes before the wings got there that I had ordered at the same time. The bartender had to go and check on what was taking them so long. Eventually they got there. I had ordered them because of the bartenders recommendation. She said they were "falling off the bone," but I would say that's a very bad description of them. They weren't falling off the bone by any means. They were tasty though. Paired nicely with the blue cheese dressing. They were 6 one sized bite each of "wings". I honestly don't think they were wings but rather maybe thighs. The bone did stick out nicely from the meat making them quite easy to eat. But it took a little bit of effort to tear them apart from the bone. They came with a slice of carrot and celery and some purple thing. I'm thinking it maybe was a purple carrot. They were very good but not falling off the bone and honestly don't know what took it so long to get to my seat. Would have rather had it with the rest of my food.
After finishing the tartare, pizza, and wings I was still feeling a bit hungry. So I ordered the parm meatball slider. But after having the first bite of it I wished I hadn't. The meat in the meatball had NO flavor. I don't even think they added salt to it. I could have gotten packaged meat at the supermarket and rolled it into a ball and that might have had more flavor than this sandwich. Why didn't they add any Italian seasoning to it I'll never know. Honestly the meatball sandwich at subway is a lot better than this sad to say. The fries that came with it were good. Very thin, crispy, and very lightly salted. Maybe even too lightly salted for some people's taste but for me it worked.
I saw that there is a Thursday night wine tasting with appetizers so I'm going to come tomorrow and check that out. Made a reservation for two for that. Maybe try a few more things on hh.
I've lived here a year and a half and have always walked by this restaurant when at Red rock and had never yet tried it til now. Glad I did. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because of how long the wings took to get to me and the tasteless meatball slider. I'm willing to overlook that though and give it another try tomorrow night. Hopefully the wine tasting will make up for it.
*******Update *****
Went to the wine tasting on Thursdays. Had a reservation made for the lounge. The night I went there just happened to have a group in the lounge area so they moved the wine tasting to the back of the restaurant near the casino side. I checked in with the lady at the door on the casino side entrance and gave her my email address and she gave me two tickets for each person on the reservation. Each ticket was good for a wine tasting. I would say they poured about 2 ounces worth in each glass. Not quite a full drink but after two tickets and my free wine with yelp checkin I was feeling good. A waitress and waiter made rounds to each of the tables in the wine tasting area and allowed us to try different hors d'oeuvres. Some of the things that I sampled were the hummus which had chunks of chickpeas in it, the pepperoni pizza, the tartare, and I think something else too that I forget (thanks wine). They also brought out bread to the table. We were able to order appetizers from the happy hour menu even while being seated at a table. That was really nice. We ordered a couple of the burger sliders, the pigs in a blanket, the lamb pizza, and the pepperoni pizza. The lamb pizza tasted really meaty. The meat was a little bit overpowering imo. I would have liked less meat and more cheese on it. The burger sliders were just ok and the fries that come with the burger I do like. The pigs in the blanket had a very nice flakey roll for the blanket and the pigs part was mediocre. Would have been nice to have packed that little piggy with some bigger flavors. I had a very fun time there though. Don't know if it was because of the wine, my company, or the overall atmosphere and service but whatever it is I would recommend trying the place out on Thursday nights. Lots of fun.
