| - My wife and I thought we would give the Blue Martini a try on a weeknight because we were already in Town Square. We arrived at about 9:30pm to find a couple friendly people sitting at the front desk, which was a nice change. We took a walk through and found that it was mostly empty so there were a lot of open tables available. They had a band playing on the main stage but the music was kind of depressing - we sat down and ordered a drink anyway. I ordered a Grey Goose martini, extra dry with an olive and my wife ordered a Chopin martini with a twist. They arrived at our table about 15 mins later. Both martinis tasted like they contained about 2 oz. of vermouth, 1/2 oz. of vodka and 5 oz. of water. They were served warm and tasted like vermouth flavored water. They were, without a doubt, the worst martinis we have ever tasted!
After we choked down our martinis, we figured that we would give them one more chance and ordered something easy: Captain Morgan and diet Coke. Our drinks arrived fairly quickly this time but the drinks were served in what appeared to be 4 oz. glasses filled with ice! I have had larger drinks at a strip club! To add insult to injury, the bill arrived and we were charged $17.00 for the GG martini, $18.00 for the Chopin and $10.00 for each Capt'n and diet! The strange part is that I'm sure they listed GG martinis on their menu for $12.00 along with just about every other type of martini. I wonder if those ones had some alcohol in them? When we asked for our check, the waitress quickly dropped it off at the table and ran off, never to return. I guess if I were charging those prices for that drink quality, I would be embarrassed too! Maybe they figure that by 10:00 on a weeknight, anyone still up and drinking is too drunk to realize what is happening! We ended up leaving some cash on the table and walking out.
It looks like the Blue Martini has become just another Las Vegas tourist trap! I wish I could give negative stars!
