| - This is an update to my recent, previous review, and an update that I truly wish I wouldn't have to write. While I could have just left things alone, it wouldn't be fair to other Yelpers, as this restaurant didn't leave things alone.
They changed their menu completely, and the food quality also has suffered.
My wife and I used to love going here on weekends for brunch and occasionally during the week for dinner. Sadly, we will not return.
I pressed on my wife for us to take our guests there this morning, fully expecting the same caliber of food we have enjoyed EVERY time before. My wife wanted to stay home and for us to enjoy a wonderful meal and drinks in our lovely home, all comfy, cozy, and chill. Nope. We went to One5Lakeside and saw a completely different menu than our previous visits, my favorite grilled chicken sandwich is gone and the chef wouldn't prepare it. The French Fries we loved, because they were the thin, crispy, Pomme Frites like we have enjoyed at some excellent French Restaurants, have been replaced by double-baked fries akin to Burger King. Yucky, lacking any flavor other than the oil they were fried in, and put an aftertaste in my mouth that I would prefer not to share or explain.
Our favorite waiter was there and served us, and still wonderfully friendly and accommodating. He even mixed a custom margarita for me that tasted fantastic. It's because of John, our regular waiter, that I'm giving 2 stars, otherwise this place has slid so much in quality they would deserve 1 star.
The food was good before. Very good. However, it appears few patrons fully appreciated the quality, the flavors, and the textures. Now with their new menu and mediocre tasting food, the place is busy and seemingly successful. What does this tell us? It can only be assumed that the area patrons desire mediocre food and have no appreciation or understanding of quality. Sad! Really sad, and especially for Lake Las Vegas. However, no surprise as everyone in LLV that I've asked for recommendations on pizza, Mediterranean, and Mexican food has all proven to be bland, boring, and poor quality overall. Thus, I can see why these people now love and praise the food at One5Lakeside. Ugh! Missing really flavorful foods prepared with passion and flare.
Previous review:
My wife and I have been to this nice restaurant maybe 5-6 times in the past year, and love it!
John is such a nice and attentive waiter, friendly and entertaining. He's served us all but once when we visit. The manager is also attentive and aware, and she cares about making her patrons feel welcome. However, as much as we love the staff, it's about the food, right! Well, food and drink as my wife really enjoys their bottomless mimosas during weekend Brunch.
We've tried dinner there 1-2 times. Good and tasty food. Small plates so order many to try and share.
Brunch is our fav there, however. Okay, not only because of the mimosas! My wife gets a conventional eggs, bacon, toast breakfast and I usually get the grilled chicken sandwich which is bursting with flavor and never over cooked and dry, and it also comes with awesome fries! In fact, it's even worth ordering fries ala cart for spud lovers!
Looking forward to this establishment changing hours of operation during the week to open at 11am
Instead of 4pm! This means we will be visiting more often.
