I have eaten here twice since it opened.
First I have had a lot of different things of the menu and they have all exceeded my food expectations everything is cooked to perfection and presentation is spot on. While the price it is steep I expect it to be for a fine dining restaurant. The drinks are costly too but I had the most delicious vodka/cucumber combo that was so tasty and refreshing, that I have to order 3 each time. They are worth the $12 or so dollars they cost (after 2 who cares what they cost really?!)
My problems with the place is the ambiance this restaurant seems to be suffering from an identity crisis it wants to be a high end restaurant but then have this club type feel to it...when it is indeed a restaurant.
1-It is so dark you can not read the menu, when I look around seeing people hold a candle to the menu that is not good turn up the lights a tad PLEASE people can't read in the dark.
2-I can not figure what is going on with the movie screen each time I have been there they show the same movie over and over. Really it gets old but haha I get it your showing "Sin City" in Sin City.
3-The decor is trendy but it is a bit to much but then again maybe that is why they keep it half dark. The mess of a image behind the bar makes you dizzy before even having a drink.
4-My last is the way the waitress dress, the uniform is stilettos, shirt buttoned down, bra showing, garter belts and ass hanging out. Which don't get me wrong I love this cute dressing in a club or from my cocktail waitress in the casino... but in a high end restaurant I don't really want to see if my server is a little overdue for her Brazilian.
Service is also kind of slow and annoying, I get the impression the servers have not worked at any high end restaurants before just by their demeanor.
.
I get this is owned by the Dolce group who is very successful but this is like there bastard stepchild they just slapped a bunch of crap together and said "yeah we have a restaurant in Vegas now". I can't see this being long term at all in the Hard Rock.
