| - i'm so lazy; whenever i'm at a vegas hotel, i don't want to bother with driving or getting a taxi, but why bother when everything you want is on campus? had brunch here during a bachleorette weekend and dinner during another vegas weekend. you can be lazy too, especially when the food is this good.
what i ate:
- fried chicken and waffles and watermelon: yes yes yes soooo good. i loved the crispy fried chicken skin (although i have to say, the second time i went the skin was not as crispy as i would have liked), married with the sweet/savory waffles and the oh so refreshing spiced watermelon chunks. i loved loved loved the relish?? that came on the waffles. spicy, vinegary, savory, perfect balance for everything else. all the flavors you would want are on this plate. i know it's meant for sharing, but i think i could finish it all on my own. but yea, sharing is caring, so split this with your table, be a good friend.
- fried green tomato BLT: this was probably my favorite dish of the night. i wasnt expecting much, but seriously, it met all the flavors i would want in a dish - salty, sweet, hot, cold, savory, acidic, cheesy/creamy, fried... it was so good. every bite was delicious. the second time i went i insisted on ordering this dish again, and my friends were wowed by it
- pork croquette: this was a stick to your ribs kind of dish. while the croquette itself was fairly small, the black eyed pea cassoulet underneath was dense, just as the croquette. i thought this dish was good, but it needed something vinegary or pickled to lighten up the flavors. unless you just want something hearty and rich, then this is the dish for you.
- chilled watermelon: this was a refreshing side. but, rather unsurprising? especially if you ordered the fried chicken and waffles and watermelon. if you didnt get that dish, this would be a welcome addition to your table. the chilled watermelon was sweet and juicy, and the spices give it a nice zing.
- maple glazed bacon donut: who doesnt love bacon? i love it, and put it on anything and i automatically like it. but, these donuts were rather dense cake style donuts. i wish they were the lighter type. after a bite i was done. too rich for me.
- bbq pork belly: this dish, in my opinion, was the better dish to go for instead of the pork croquette. the pork belly was fatty, rich, perfectly glazed, and the pickled salad side was a great palette cleanser.
- bloody mary: perfectly spiced. WITH BACON. what more can i say? drink your hangover away with these bad boys
- watermelon sling: so so so refreshing! on a hot summer day, you want to drink this. yes, that whiskey burned it's way back up your throat giving you that warm dragon breath effect, but the sweet refreshing watermelon made it easy to gulp down.
pros:
- the food was so good. i loved the play between rich fried foods and vinegary sides. stick to your ribs kind of food. so, ladies, don't wear anything without stretch, your stomach needs it
- decor: wood, metal, so rustic, so chic. loved the old fashioned light bulbs. loved the huge chandelier
- service was friendly.
- called night of to make a rez on a friday night, and was able to get a table no problem
- drinks were legit with ice cubs cut to different sizes
- menu itself was really pleasing to the eye. i especially loved the way they did the bar menu.
- corkage fee was $20. crazy cheap for on the strip. do it. though, admittedly the food on the menu deserves cold cocktails or beer.
cons:
- service was slow...ish... when i'm in vegas i want to always have a cold dirnk in my hand. my server seemed to have missed that memo. there was a delay between my drinks. oh the horror. (i know, first world problems)
- while i enjoyed the style of the front room with it's low club chairs around small side tables, i woudlnt really want to eat anything in those seats. you end up having to hunch forward. i say if you want to eat, get a real table and ditch the bar area. cause, a bar is for drinking.
would i come again? yes, as i've already been there twice before i was able to write this review :)
