| - Like other reviewers, I was excited to get a D&B in Vegas, having had countless fun nights out at the Honolulu location while in college and after.
Unfortunately, the experience for my wife and I at the Summerlin location was underwhelming at best. We sat at a booth by the bar to grab a quick bite and drink before going to a movie.
The Food: Decent. Back of the house has it together, but our "loaded" tots, which were supposed to be covered in cheese and bacon and sour cream had no sour cream, and cheese and bacon on about 7/50 tots. The tater cakes were ok, but the white dipping sauce was not ranch, as one might expect...it was horseradish sauce! It would've been nice to be told that before putting that stuff on the food :-/ Clearly, the waiter had no idea because when my wife asked for ranch, he said, "Ok, I'll bring another one." The spinach dip was the best of the three items we ordered.
The Drinks: Surprisingly decent prices for a big beer and a Bloody Mary. Now, they just need to teach their wait staff about their drink options. This guy had clearly never heard of a mimosa, and when my wife asked if they could make her one, he said, "If it's not on one of those [three separate] menus, then we don't have it." I saw the beer taps from our seat, two of the handles of which said "Samuel Adams Seasonal" and "Joseph James Seasonal." I asked what the seasonals were and was told, "Our seasonal is Sam Adams." After I left our table to ask the bartender, he gave me a sample, and I decided what I wanted. Unfortunately, the waiter ordered the wrong beer, and I had to go reorder from the bartender anyway.
The Service: Bad, with the exception of the bartender, who looked like Tyson Beckford with tattoo sleeves, ladies. Never have I signed a check, had the booklet between my arms as I finish my beer and converse with my guest, and had a waiter try to come back and grab the signed check from under my glass.
I probably won't come back. Maybe if I'm in the area, we'll sit at the bar to check out happy hour. They have a lot of big screen TVs, so catching football could be cool, but these folks couldn't handle a slow day, so I can't imagine NFL game day. This place has nothing but room for improvement.
