| - I couldn't decide how many stars to give. It's a tough call because the food is great and, when split among friends, the prices aren't bad. However, we arrived when the place was packed, I got a shitty chair, our server screwed up our order, and we barely saw his face. I suppose three stars is fair because under better circumstances I'd be swooning for this place.
To break these elements down...
Wait- The interior, bar, and patio were completely packed, which caused parking to be extremely limited and the wait for a table to be a bit long. 20 minutes in the cold makes the wait questionable. It was so packed that a woman, presumably a regular, walked up to the door and screamed, "OH HELLLLLL NOOOOO, this place better not be packed!" (A minute later she sat on a bench outside, annoyed.)
The seating- My girlfriends are I were seated outside on the patio. The good news was that we were next to a heater, which was much appreciated. The bad news was that our table was pushed up against the glass wall in such a way that I had to do the bendies to squish myself into my chair which, by the way, was lopsided so that I kept smacking into the wall as I ate. We were also right by the door so every time someone walked into the patio my sister got smacked in the back of her seat. In the future, I suggest waiting a little longer for a seat inside the restaurant.
Our server- Granted, I'm sure he was getting worked, but he gave off a cocky vibe and didn't even write down our order. Amazingly enough most of our items came out... except for one. We got to the end of our meal, ready to order our dessert, and requested that since the last item was clearly not coming that he cancel the order. Instead of cancelling it, he said he'd check on it and if it weren't cooked already, he'd cancel it. We didn't hear about that item until the bill arrived about 20 minutes later and he said, "Oh. Yeah, so I cancelled that item."
The redeeming quality: The food- Delicious. So much flavor packed into small bites. Our little girlfriends party of 4 scarfed down:
- Smoked Salmon Toasts
- Ceviche
Wonderfully tangy and fresh
- Tuna Tartare
- Bacon-Wrapped Dates
Ridiculously addictive with a happy almond crunch on the inside
- Mac and Cheese
Creamy and cheesy and evil and tasty
- Albondigas
- Lamb Skewers w/Lentils
- Chicken and Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms
- Thai Beef Salad
The surprise item and star of the evening. Ridiculously good and large enough for a small meal for one!
- Banana Nutella Sandwich
I didn't get to try the sangria, but I intend to on my next visit to Vegas. I also plan on trying to Happy Hour on for size, with fingers crossed for a better table!
