| - My husband and I looked at an address wrong for a restaurant we were going to try. Long story short, we were at the wrong casino. We decided to stay at Palazzo. We love the Palazzo and have never had a bad experience here and figured we couldn't go wrong. However, this is my least favorite dining expereince I've had to the Venetian or Palazzo.
SushiSamba was having their happy hour on Friday 4-7. We sat up at the bar and ordered off their happy hour menu. We each decided to try the Caipirinhas. I'd equate this to a Brazilian margarita. I think the bartender said it has rum instead of tequila??? Not positive though. She hands the drinks to us and says something to the effect of "This isn't my favorite drink, but it gets the job done". We didn't ask her if it was a good, bad or indifferent drink. We just wanted to try something off their happy hour menu that we'd never tried before. I thought it was a rather odd comment to make. Then when we tried it, we weren't crazy about it either. If she was going to say something, she should've told us when we ordered. Regardless, the drink kind of grew on us. Didn't order a second and probably won't order the drink again, but it wasn't horrible.
As far as food, we tried the chicken anticuchos, shrimp tempura roll, salmon taquitos and yellowtail seviche. Chicken anticuchos were good....basically a chicken skewer with teriyaki. Shrimp tempura roll was average. Salmon taquitos were kind of strange...if you do order these, make sure to put the spicy sauce on them. Without the sauce, they aren't very good. Last but not least, the dish I truly enjoyed was the yellowtail seviche. The yellowtail was buttery and spicy all at the same time....very good.
All said and done, our tab was just under $40 before tip. Not bad. However, there was something about this place, I don't see myself ever coming back here. Other than the yellowtail, nothing was that good. Average to mediocre at best.
