| - Six gals were in Vegas for a friends graduation from nursing school and she wanted to do one really nice fancy dinner. She picked David Burke in the Venetian, which is where we were staying.
Before leaving to Vegas she had printed out the online menu so we have an idea of the kind of food they have there and we all liked what we saw for the most part. We made our reservations for 9 pm on a Saturday night. We arrive and they were all very cordial and sat us. We get our menus and low and behold, the menu has changed! The salmon that a couple of us were eyeing was no longer on the menu! But hey, we understood that fancy restaurants have a tendency of changing their menus often as to not make the restaurant trendy, etc.
I must say, all of our servers (there is our main server, there is the busser and the food runner) were all very nice to us, BUT we waited quite a long time for even our drink order to be taken, and then a whole another long while until our dinner order was taken.
And when we ordered for dinner, 3 of us wanted to order lobster only to find out they are out of lobster!
I ordered the filet mignon medium with creamy spinach. WHen the server brought it to me, he told me it seems to have been overcooked and if I wanted another to just let him know he'll get me another right away, but I told him it's fine, because it did taste fine and I didn't want to wait so long for another anyway.
We also ordered the cheesecake lollipop tree, which was kind of too sweet for my taste, and I kind of expected something more.....original? It was yummy though.
THe food overall was very yummy and the service was nice, but I just gave it 3 stars because of the wait time and the fact that they didn't have lobster which seemed to be a part of quite a few menu items. If I could have given it 3 1/2 stars I would've!
