| - Had zero plans to eat lunch here while out shopping inside Caesar's Palace. But whatever it was that led me here - hunger, tired feet, FATE - I'm so glad it did. This was hands-down my favorite lunch out of all the places we tried on vacation.
First of all, I loved the decor of the restuarant. You really felt this is what a real English pub would look like. It could be an Americanized version for all I know, but I still liked it.
Our service was great. Very friendly wait staff. There were water spots on my husband's fork, which isn't even that big of a deal, but our waiter noticed it (without us pointing it out first) and replaced it right away. I thought that was a very nice, above-and-beyond touch.
I started off with a very delicious cocktail called Goodbye Blue Sky, which was blueberry vodka, Chambord, sparkling wine and fresh lemon and blueberries. So refreshing. I hardly ever finish my cocktail at any place I go, but this one could have easily begat a second one as much as I loved it.
We decided to pass on appetizers as we didn't really want to stuff ourselves for lunch (knowing we had a very large dinner ahead of us later). I debated on what to order because so many things sounded delicious. Shepherd's Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, even considered ordering several apps as my entree (Scotch Egg - yum!). Finally decided to go classic English pub and ordered the Fish and Chips. This was without a doubt the best fish and chips I've ever eaten. Three lovely pieces of beautifully battered white fish - the texture was spot on (crispy and light), fish cooked to perfection. Served with a side of mushy peas, which were also very tasty. They were minty, although I didn't taste too much of it. If I could complain about anything, I'd say the fries were nothing special. The weren't horrible by any means, but for $30 you may expect something hand-cut at the very least.
Everytime we see a Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert, we have to try it. For something not chocolately, this bread pudding is surprisingly good. Warm, with a rich caramelly drizzle atop a delicious sweet cream ice cream. It's like a comfort dessert - you leave feeling wrapped in a warm blanket, cozy and comfy. Perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
The only thing I wasn't keen on was the price of the food. Now, I can eat expensive food, and have no problem paying for it. But let's be honest - this was not an upscale 5-star restaurant. It's a pub with above average food. It's not overly gourmet or made with luxury ingredients. I'd say you're paying for the Gordon Ramsey name for the most part. Don't get me wrong cuz the food was spectacular, but it could definitely handle being slightly cheaper. Lunch food shouldn't cost over $100 for two people.
