| - I've been wanting to try RM for a while, but never committed mostly due to the inconsistent reviews. We found ourselves with an open Saturday night in Vegas, so I booked an upstairs table for 6:30 on-line while lounging at the pool. When we showed up at 6:30, they had no record of our reservation. I showed the hostess our confirmation number on my iPhone and was told that they have problems with the on-line system.
After a few minutes we were shown to an open booth. A gentleman stopped by, introduced himself as one of our servers for the evening, filled our glasses with water and dropped off menus. We chose a bottle of wine, decided that we would both have the 7 course tasting and waited to order....for 10 minutes. Not a glance from anyone. I asked my lovely wife if she would be offended if we got up and left at the 12 minute mark. She agreed that if the service did not begin we would be stupid to pay $135 a piece to be ignored. Just under the mark, our server returned and asked how he could help us. I replied that ordering some food and wine would be a awesome start.
From that point on everything was perfect. Seven tasting-sized courses that started with simple, clean fish presentations that advanced to duck and braised beef, as well as 4 amuse bouche, built upon each other to create one of the most thoughtfully well-rounded meals that I've experienced. And there wasn't a bad plate.
It was a rough start, but once these guys got on a roll they nailed it. The food, as well as the service, was some of the best we've had. But I now understand the hit and miss reviews.
