Wanna to switch it up from the same ole' same ole' dinning experience in Vegas.? You should check out The Barrymore. It's located just off the strip near The Encore.
It's located inside a small hotel and with a not so appealing outside. Do not let this stop you from checking this place out. Trust me!
When I walked in The Barrymore I was stoked--"I found a gem and I know I won't be let down!" Immediately to my right was an old school Vegas lounge singer and his piano man. I kid you not, the singer said, "I'm here every night except next Friday. I'm taking my girlfriend out." It was such a cliche lounge singer statement, but it worked!
We were seated in their very cozy, intimate main dining room. Our waiter promptly greeted us. The Barrymore has a very impressive wine list. I opted for a glass of "The Whispering Angel" rose and found to be light and satisfying.
We were served with a basket of freshly baked breads and warm salted butter. The breads were so delicious the basket was empty before we knew it. With great will power we declined a second basket. We choose all items suggested by our waiter. We had scallops for our appetizer....halla! The scallop appetizer was something to write home about! yum! yum! Our main entrees: bone in filet and chilean sea bass. Both items were good, but I must say they were a bit on the over cooked side--not too much, but just enough to notice.
For desert we got the apple cheesecake tart thingy. Perfect size! We were super stuffed, but wanted to experience all courses offered. Another great suggestion from our waiter.
I can't say enough good things about the staff. They made us feel welcomed and they cared about our experience. It wasn't just our waiter checking on us, even other waiters asked us with enthusiasm if we enjoying our dinning experience.
I can't wait to go back. The Barrymore is a really cool place.
