| - Decided to come here last weekend on our trip to Vegas. We had a larger party for dinner, the restaurant is located off the busy strip which is always nice. I always read rave reviews of the place and I had this place bookmarked for quite some time now. So we were seated promptly, the server came back and explained the menu and how things worked. We ordered some drinks as well and waited to get our order put in. The food I would say is closer to a 4 star, but the service lacked in my opinion which is why I gave this place a 3 star.
I think for a Saturday night it seemed that they didnt have enough servers. The timing of the food and how some dishes came out confused me. First two appetizers came out quickly, then other dishes just came out at the weirdest times and some were cold dishes and some were hot dishes. I just think most of the dishes flavors were okay, probably the risotto dish was probably one of our favorites. For example, after getting all our dishes, the hamachi kama came out last. That was just an odd way to end our meal. I think the cooks and the sushi chefs need to work better on their timing. Get appetizers out, then cold items and sushi items, then get hot foods and larger entree meals last. Overall with 9 people, the bill was around $500, pretty affordable for the amount of people we had and most people were full after the meal. Our dinner started at 7:30 but we didnt leave almost until 10pm. I'm glad I tried it but I probably would not come back. I still think hands down Raku is the best Japanese restaurant for tapas style dishes.
