| - I have never walked out of a restaurant...until now! My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and she wanted steak. I made a reservation for later that evening. At check-in I was told they were running behind and it would be 10 to 15 minutes for our table, no problem we'll have a drink at the bar (1 drink, 2 glasses of wine = $50, hey it's vegas). 40 minutes later we were seated. 10 minutes later our water and bread arrived. My wife was starving. She went to the restroom and I ordered for the both of us while she was gone (Filet for her and veal for me, mushrooms on the side and a salad to share). People have mentioned the wine list, which is huge by the bottle, but the wine by the glass list sucks!! 6 choices...is this a steakhouse and $30 a glass for Bartolo? An hour later our entrees were no where to be found. Waitress, who was very bitchy and tried to hard sale on appetizers, wine, etc. I'm just trying to get something to eat, I appreciate your snobby wine guru sommeels...whatever they are..we just wanted to eat...something. Waitress "your food should be out shortly", really well it's been an hour, "oh I'll send the manager over". 5 minutes later "the manager should be over shortly" I am done, we are leaving give me the check, I will pay for the salad and the wine. Manager "Sir, I personally checked your order it will be out soon. Long story short they "comped" a salad and a coke, I had to pay $22 for my wine. The food arrived as we stood up and walked out. I have never yelped or walked out of a restaurant, but I wanted to warn people before they made the mistake I did. At this point I would have killed for a Ruth Cris steak, something, anything but it was 11:00 pm and the other restaurants weren't seating. We walked across the street to Mirage and had a decent meal and tried to save the evening. Carnevino, you can keep your snobby wine "sommm###" with their euro trash glasses and $75/ rib-eye (only if you order 2) and I'll keep my $400.
