| - So this past Saturday I joined my friend and a group of her friends for dinner here. I was kind of bummed as I was ready to get my part-tay on, but they had been drinking for a couple days already and were already tired and worn out. I think this is why they hadn't figured out where they wanted to eat and go out on a Sat night, which you know you can't do in Vegas if you expect to go somewhere good. They also didn't really feel like searching out a place outside the Venetian, which is why we ended up here. I kind of had a let down feeling as soon as we walked in. It was only about half empty and really quiet - just not Vegas on a Saturday night.
Our waiter was nice enough and I felt bad for him because this group was really set on not getting any fun cocktails, apps, desserts, so I give him a star for putting up with us. He was really trying - I hope he gets a job at a more popular place soon.
But other than him, everything was kind of lackluster. I ordered the special - salmon, which I thought was good. I also had a cosmo, which was right on point - thank you bartender (although the glass was not even half full). The prices were ok for what we had so no real complaints.
However, I hate to say it, but both my friend (she also ate the salmon) and I had an upset stomach soon after eating. No one else in the party did, which makes me think something about the salmon was really off - I did notice that both of our pieces were very inconsistently cooked. Anyway, I still thought it tasted good but it definitely killed our night, as my friend was way more ill than me and she went back to her room. Yes, on a Saturday night, so you know this wasn't just feeling a little out of it. F me (and poor her!). But on a good note, I still had fun gambling for a bit before going to my room (the next morning was absolute hell on my stomach though).
Bottom line - go somewhere else if you want any resemblance of a fun Vegas vibe. If you want some place quiet and you have a robust stomach, by all means...
