| - I went here this past Friday to celebrate a friend's birthday, and I'm glad I did! The Barrymore is a beautiful little restaurant hidden inside a very sketchy Hotel right off the Vegas Strip. As I walked up to the front door I was a little nervous because I saw the typical douchey Vegas tourists in their flip flops, Tommy Bahama shirts, and golfing shorts..This is a FANCY restaurant..Try to have some class, this isn't Fremont or The Circus Circus Buffet.
We made it in time for our 7:30 reservation, but had to wait, we sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks and looked around in awe.. Beautiful art works, old Hollywood Glamour furnishings..I felt like I had gone back in time..A time before Ed Hardy, Tommy Bahama, and Tapout... After we waited for a while I finally went back to the hostess stand, and found out that she gave our table away. The VERY TALL manager overheard and promptly bought us a round of drinks for our patience. He made sure that we were happy and well taken care of, especially hearing that we were locals. I just moved here from L.A. where a manager wouldn't give to shits about giving away your table, so this all came as a shock to me. We finally sit at our table, I can't stop thinking about how utterly gorgeous everything was..
O.K. FOOD!.. We ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese ( who wouldn't?! ) It was creamy,rich, and mouthwatering.. I also ordered the kale salad which was also good..but I actually love the Winter Kale Salad @Culinary Dropout 1000 times better..My friends all loved their main courses..but I ordered the Chicken, which seemed like an after thought..it wasn't good.. It was VERY dry and flavourless. I am looking forward to revisiting The Barrymore, but I will definitely be getting a different entree or maybe just order two bowls of the Lobster Mac and Cheese. :)
So visit The Barrymore, but please don't dress like a tacky tourist!
