| - I have heard so many good things about this place, had to give it a try
UGH, expectations are a bad thing to have sometimes....
ordered a few dishes
started with the cheese plate selection....bad
the one that sticks out was a goat cheese brie???? positively awful, kind of what I would imagine a urinal cake tasting like....had to spit out in napkin...that bad
went on to apple and fennel salad, again bad choice
not sure how you screw up this one, maybe a bit heavy handed with Sherry/vinegar?
in any case, sent this back as well
third, tried the cauliflower, which was cooked ok, but the dusting of paprika kind of killed the taste for us
fourth came the lamb, probably the only edible dish of the night, cooked well, but a bit heavy handed with the salt.....edible at least
fifth, the paella with various vegetables, which they told us into our meal was not available (went bad?)
offered us the remaining available one, chicken and rabbit, but by that time we were pretty much done with this place, and why take the second best of only two choices of paella available that night?
I can say that the service was decent, and that even though we did not have a good meal....or any meal at all, the manager was extremely attentative. It was refreshing that he came to our table after the first two dishes were taken away and he noticed we had not touched much of either. I really hate to give the place such a low rating based on his concerns. Not too many places would show such concern, and especially on the strip, most would probably have just let us suffer. He took care of the check as well, which was appreciated.
I have had friends rave about this place, so maybe in future we might give it another shot, but there are so many choice in Vegas now, hard to give this a second try.......
