| - We've walked by so many times and wanted to try this place out because of Chef Conant. In fact, last year, I asked my parents-in-law if they wanted to have dinner here but after looking at the prices, they decided against it, so we didn't.
A few weeks ago, I went back to Vegas with my husband so we decided to check this place out, finally. We didn't have reservations so we weren't sure what was going to happen, but we got a corner seat for two. There's a dining room with views of the water show that we can kind of see from our seats.
My husband wasn't that hungry because we made the mistake of eating at a buffet earlier, so we didn't get an appetizer. I did get some red wine and so didn't my husband. They served us bread to start and it wasn't just any bread bowl, it was freshly baked bread and they were all delicious! I could have just eaten the bread and be happy about it.
So we finally ordered and I got the short rib and bone marrow agnolotti, it was topped with panko bread crumbs for a nice change of texture. I loved it. It was also very filling! I was really uncomfortable afterwards because of the buffet earlier. My husband got the gnocchis with foam, it didn't have flavor to the foam, just for presentation, I guess.
We didn't have room for dessert, but we'll come back and have it some time soon. It lost a star because we were seated in the corner there because we didn't have reservations, or so we were told. People who walked in and said they didn't have reservations were able to be seated in the dining room. Please be consistent about it. You can tell us "the dining room is currently full, you can wait for it to open up or we can seat you now in the corner, which would you prefer?" Instead, they just made the assumption and seated us. Took away from the experience a bit, I'll be honest.
I posted the photos on my instagram and Chef Scott Conant liked it!!! Then I posted a photo of him liking my photo and he LIKED THAT! yay!!! Very cool! He seems like a cool guy and to top it off, a really great restaurant.
