| - Service was good, but for the price I expected more quality. My wife and I arrived around 5:30pm and sat in the lounge area and had drinks.
The waiter advised us that the full menu would be available by 6pm, but he gave us the menu to pre-order our food. As we were waiting I was on my way to the bar to order drinks, Crown Royal and coke, but the waiter stopped me and placed the order himself, I thought that was nice of him. So we sat around more and had a couple more drinks, same thing. We put in our order for the following items:
Blue Crab and Shrimp Rolls, $14.00 - Julienne Pickled Carrot and sweet chili drizzle.
Chef's Dim Sum Sampler, $15.00 - Pork Shu Mai, Shrimp Dumplings, Spiced Napa Cabbage Beef Rolls and Dipping sauces.
Before our food arrived the waiter brought us a couple more drinks and as the food arrived we were finishing up our 2nd drink each, the drinks were stiff as hell and did they're job good. As the waiter laid the food out we chatted it up about how nice the place looked, snapped a few pics and then we started on the food.
The Crab and shrimp rolls, was okay. There was no hint of crab or shrimp, it just tasted like an everyday egg roll from a decent neighborhood Chinese place.
For the Dim Sum was also just okay, I wasn't impressed Chinatown in SF has spoiled me. So I think the only thing I can say is for $15.00 I was expecting a lot more flavor than what was given.
I knew we should've stuck to our first choice of the Korean style spare ribs, damn it. The reason we ate here was because we were given a $30.00 voucher for dining at Fusia. So I figured we just order appetizers and a couple drinks and we'd make out like bandits on the price...damn I was wrong....the bill ended up being $86.00....W T F ? !
2 Appetizers $30
4 Drinks $56 ?! ?! W T F ?!
Okay I've been to Vegas and know it's all expensive...but damn! At the Luxor I've only had drinks on the floor over a roulette wheel so I wasn't aware of the price of the drink I was getting. Earlier in the day the wife and I were at Tropicana for the Bodies exhibit(Cool displays btw) and I ordered 2 Crown and cokes and paid $12.00 including tip, so when I got the bill at the Luxor and found that the same drink was a little more than double the price I was a bit shocked. Oh well, it's all good, next time I'll just dine at the buffet or have a Nathan's dog, those are good.
