| - In such a restaurant-intense town, I would think any restaurant that has been around for awhile, like this, would work to develop the repeat customer. Offer a unique, intimate experience that makes a diner feel, "I gotta do that again."
I didn't see any reason to return here, nor did anyone else in my group of 9.
The space is beautiful. I appreciate a little design and under-decoration in Vegas. The wine cage is a nice gimmick--hey, it's Vegas.
Then, downhill.
We had a dinner reservation, but the hosts seem to have some debate as to where we were to be seated. This was surprising because when we arrived, the place was half-empty. Our waiter could barely be understood; I didn't catch his name. Nor could he describe the dishes well or offer meaningful dining suggestions. He was essentially a scribe,and not very good at that. The drink tablet (one per table in a group this big?) was silly and cumbersome and tedious for all of us to pass around. The drinks... unremarkable, but not bad. Our dinner order was a bit mixed up (i.e, part of it wrong) upon arrival. Our food good but underwhelming (we just ordered a la carte)--maybe the tasting menu could be more special? And to end our night--silliness with the bill, minor and ultimately addressed.
We had a great time and nothing catastrophic happened, but as I reread this review, it's summarizes an experience I would expect from TGI Friday's, not reportedly fine dining.
