Warm Brie was disappointing. I thought it was going to be baked. It came out on a large dish with raspberry sauce, and all they did was warm up the brie a little bit and add six crackers to the side of the wedge of brie. I was expecting a more exciting tasting experience for $9. I could go to the market and buy cheeses myself and make a better cheese plate than brie and crackers and raspberry sauce. It was... a disappointment. Le sigh...
Prosciutto wrapped chicken was salty and a bit on the dry side, possibly because they had prepped the meat in advance and the salt in the prosciutto sucked all the moisture out of the chicken and made the chicken very salty before they finally baked it. The asparagus was good. The rice tasted like an instant rice, not from regular grains. It was flavored well with the olives, but the olives were also salty, so it was too much sodium for my taste.
The steak salad wasn't fully dressed. You need to finish tossing it yourself. The meat wasn't bad, although I asked for medium rare and received medium. Linn offered to change it for me, bless her soul, but I didn't want to bother the chef.
The bellini tasted pretty good and was enough for 2 to share. I heard in January they have a 6 oz. filet and martini special for only $9.95 that they're going to bring back because it was so popular before the end of November. Linn said that there would be a line starting at 4:30PM all the way until 10:30PM. I might come back and try this special.
The property is beautiful. The ambience is elegant and when it's warm enough, you can sit outside for a beautiful view.
Overall, if it weren't for the service and the yelp voucher, I would probably not try this place again unless somebody else really wanted to try it.
Food was meh... Service was the best you could get, the only saving grace. I might add to be fair, that if I were to drive this far, it should be better than many things I can get out around the metropolitan area of Las Vegas. For me, it wasn't worth the drive. Le sigh...
