| - Pretty good spot to grab a bite if you're up in the Downtown Summerlin mall area!
Like Wolfgang's other places, this restaurant is consistent and also offers of good selection of tasty delights.
For my drink, I had the daily healthy fresh pressed juice. Today's special was spinach, kale, celery, ginger, orange, and apple. It's not bad combo and tasted alright.
For the appetizer we had the calamari, roasted vegetable pizza, and a side of french fries. The calamari was awesome, two sauces for you to dip your calamari and some battered veggies as well. The roasted pizza was very good as well, the broccolini added a nice texture to the pizza. Normally I like a meaty type of pizza, but for a change I decided to try the roasted vegetable pizza and I'm glad I did. Nothing special about the fries, skinny type fries, but the nice thing is the side of fries is a nice hearty portion and great for sharing.
For dinner we had the mushroom pasta and a side of broccolini. The mushroom pasta had great flavor, but the one thing I wasn't a fan of was some of the pasta had clumps of salt which made it really salty for some bites. The brocolini stir fry side was a nice compliment to the meal, a little subtle spicy kick to it.
As for dessert, we had the apple crotada. Basically, a fresh baked open faced apple pastry with a side of vanilla ice cream. Since it's fresh baked, it takes a few minutes longer. This was really good, the pastry was very flaky and warm right out of the oven. The apples weren't too sweet and a little tart which I like. Definitely a dessert I'd get again.
Service at the table was pretty good. The odd thing is with the hostess, we got there and had to sit at the community table since we didn't make a reservation per the hostess even though 80% of the restaurant wasn't full at that time. Even after we were done with our meal, paid and got up to leave the main dining area they had about 40% of the main dining area open not counting the outside patio dining area that no one really sat at since it's cold outside. It seemed odd to push people to the community table to sit next to each other when it wasn't super busy. Maybe the hostess was still training, but I'd recommend making a reservation given our experience if you and your party want a more private dining experience.
