| - I was severely let down by Cathouse. I was a fan of the chef, having seen him on TV a couple times and always thinking his food looked good. I also thought the concept was great. By reading the marketing material I thought there would be lingerie models somewhere inside...notsomuch. They say the waitresses model the restaurant's own line of lingerie. All the waitresses were wearing jackets with short skirts, I'm not sure where the lingerie comes in. Now sure our waitress was absolutely gorgeous, but it wasn't exactly modeling.
There were two cubbys behind glass where girls would sit, one was empty, one was occupied for part of our visit. She just sat there in lingerie like a statue, which was alright, but if that was supposed to be the "modeling" well, bait and switch I say.
I had the misfortune of sitting on a speaker. This is just dumb design, something I do not expect from a nicer restaurant. Do not put a low quality speaking turned up on high right under a customer's seat. If the speaker housing rattles it is too cheap a speaker or the music is too loud or it is improperly installed. In anycase, minus 2 stars for having a vibrating bottom the entire night.
The food was mediocre. I regret to say I was not that hungry at the time, so I did not get to try as much as I would I preferred. The bread served was overly salty. I ended up an organic chicken dish (split with my wife), grilled as I recall. Anyways, it was simply doused in black pepper. I can get doused in black pepper at dennys ya know. Dousing in black pepper is the hallmark of an amateur chef, whats going on Kerry Simon?
Service was okay, about the same as an Olive Garden, not equivalent to service received at higher end restaurants in Vegas on the same trip. I would not go again, not without them including actual modeling and or fixing the speakers. I would have ordered something different had I been hungry. So many nice restaurants in Vegas though, it is hard to recommend this one.
