| - After a fun evening of soaking in a bit of Vegas history at the Neon Museum, my friend and I decided we wanted to grab dinner at a nearby restaurant, so we headed towards container park and agreed to try Downtown Terrace. I had previously been to this location when it was named The Perch and I absolutely loved the food so I figured why not try it again. My only concern was that if they changed their name then they possibly changed owners, which therefore meant the food might've changed as well. Rest assured, that is certainly not the case. While they have a new name, they still have the same owners, same great service, and the same fantastic food that'll keep you coming back.
My friend and I decided to sit at the bar and have a few drinks before our meal. Brandon was our bartender and I must say he was the just the absolute best. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The exceptional service he provided was simply above and beyond any bartender I've seen before. He checked on us often, brought us our food promptly, and made sure we were satisfied the entire evening. One thing that I noticed is if you're sitting at a bar and you order an alcoholic beverage as well as a water, most bartenders will only focus on getting you your next drink, even when your water goes empty. However, Brandon always made sure that my water was refilled which I truly appreciate. He seemed to understand that while I like to enjoy my drinks, I also like to pace myself with water to prevent a future hangover. Truly appreciate that attention to detail.
As for our meal, every item we ordered was delicious! We started off with the calamari and the ceviche as our appetizers. The calamari came with a jalapeƱo lemon sauce that was so good and the ceviche was very refreshing with just the perfect amount of lime juice. Definitely something I'd order again in the future. For our entrees, I tried the spicy shrimp penne pasta. Loved the flavor of this dish as the sauce was savory with just the perfect hint of spice. My friend had a turkey burger which was flavored so perfectly that he scarfed down every last bite of it. While we were tempted to order dessert, our tummy's were so pleasantly stuffed that we decided to pass on it this time, but made a mental note that next time we're in container park, we will gladly stop into Downtown Terrace again for another delicious meal with a sweet dessert at the end.
