| - They were very busy when I arrived at lunchtime and was seated fairly quickly despite a mix up over my reservation, which I later realized was my fault. We counted 30 plus staff, about 1:1 ratio to the customers dining inside. No doubt just for the opening until things get settled.
The focaccia bread was nice and my Summerlin Sour was a nice, tasty drink without being too strong, which was fine since it was lunchtime. The recc'd truffled potato chips w bleu cheese fondue was way too salty for me and not strong enough bleu cheese. We asked for the mac n cheese instead and were graciously accommodated. The pasta was fine and al dente, but the sauce was a bit bland and runny. More importantly, the crock it came in was barely lukewarm; mac n cheese should always be hot! We gently pointed this out and our waitress immediately said it would not be on our bill.
For the entrees, my partner loved his hamburger and two bites of it showed me that it was cooked perfectly med rare (although actually, he wasn't asked how he'd like it), very juicy, and flavorful. My pappardelle w oxtail ragout was also al dente but the thickness was a bit too heavy handed and there was very little oxtail. But because the service was so on point, they had just opened, and the burger was so tasty, I am awarding 4 stars and will be back next week to give them another shot!
