  • A coworker picked Enoteca San Marco for our leadership lunch while at our convention in Vegas. It's a Mario Batali restaurant. Can't go wrong with that, right? Not quite. I don't know if it was an off day or typical, but I wasn't all that impressed. First, we had to wait until our entire party arrived to be seated (really? 5 out of 6 isn't good enough? Especially when we wanted to order a bottle of wine straight off?). Second, our server was spacey and unattentive. Our lunch went on way longer than it really should have, simply because he would disappear for long periods of time. Third, we were seated "outside" in St. Mark's Square and it was so loud with singing minstrels and whatnot that we literally couldn't have a conversation. When we asked if we could be seated inside we were definitively told "no." with no other explanation. So the first part of our meal was spent looking at each other while listening to screeching minstrels. Once we were seated, we got like three lousy pieces of bread to share among 7 people. No butter or olive oil or anything. So, we ordered an appetizer. Some kind of platter thing to share that had olives, beets, broccolini, and other items in it. Not bad - I especially liked the olives. For lunch, the entrees were really tiny for the price. Now I'm certainly not a fan of the "14 meals in one dish" kind of portions, but what we were served was ridiculous. I had the cauliflower rigatoni and I swear, I had a total of 10 rigatonis on my plate. And the pasta itself was WAY too salty. The cauliflower mash was delicious, but totally overpowered by the salty pasta. Others had bucatini, pizza and some kind of italian sausage penne. I didn't really hear oohs and ahs. A few of us ordered dessert. Nowhere on the dessert list does it say that all of the desserts are actually ice cream sundae creations to taste like other desserts. Now I like ice cream as much as anyone, but when I ordered Tiramisu, I was not expecting ice cream, with coffee fudge sauce and two sorry lady fingers sticking out of it. I was expecting Tiramisu. One of my dining companions ordered the baked banana expecting it to be (shocker) a baked banana. In reality, it was banana ice cream with caramel sauce. All in all, this place turned out to be just another meal for a large price tag. Not the quality I was expecting from Mario Batali.
