| - TLDR:
Overall: average
Service: Okay
Food: passable
Experience: baffling
When I first walked into this establishment, I walked into an unmanned dining area and a bar with people in it. Naturally, being a Las Vegas resident, I bellied up to the bar, only to be told that the two establishments were completely different. ( The area is open air, and the restaurant is attached to Molly's tavern.).
I got up and walked over to the still unmanned dining area, created a summoning circle of stale cigarettes and straws and conjured a hostess.
We sat down, ordered beverages, and being desert rats immediately sucked them down. We asked the young lady for refills, and were told she'd refill them once.. but they were popping cans, and didn't have a fountain.
We got our refills and immediately put our drinks to the side. I maybe thirsty, but A girl wait.
We ordered appetizers, garlic rolls and some sandwiches. The food was passable. I don't know that I would crave it. Ever. But it filled my stomach.
Our order came out quickly and correctly. We paid out bill and left.
To be honest I'm not sure I'd ever go back.
Pros:
- food was passable. I'd consider them for take out
Cons:
- confusing. Not sure if they're the same restaurant or not.
- need wait staff who stay on the floor
- you're a restaurant, attached to a bar which I assume has a soda gun. If you're not mutually owned, work something out with them. In this day and age as a sit down and dine establishment there is NO excuse for not having free refills. Figure. It. Out.
- food was passable, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. There are better Italian restaurants in the area that don't smell like stale smoke, have super attentive wait staff, and unlimited soda. (Insert plug for Giuseppe's or casa di amore here.)
I'm going to wrap this up with the hope that the owner does read these reviews. You're onto something. Your food is passable, but could be stellar if you decided on a specific cuisine. Presentation is amazing when it's here.
You need to decide if you're a bar or an Italian restaurant. And stick to it. And for god sakes. It's the twenty first century, in the most soda obsessed country in the world. Invest in a soda fountain. Seriously.
