| - First I LOVE GIada's shows and the persona she gives off on tv and my girlfriends all know I'm a foodie. I was running late so we ended up sitting in the bar/lounge area which was perfect for us to catch up and eat good food. We sat there for over 2 hrs chitt chatting before heading out to a lounge and the rest. The lighting was perfect not too dark and not too bright, the noise level in the area we sat was Fantastic. Our waitress was spot on and of course beautiful like a dainty pixie fearie, but it is Vegas after all, no Fugly people in a high end place like this. lol *well it's true* not to sound..umm arrogant like I guess. So we ordered a few things and it was filling. We got :
Caponata - this was nice and tangy and portion perfect.
Peppers sliced- they brought out this app. and accidently we though this was their version of caponata, which was way off base of course..lol
Sweet stuffed peppers- very plump juicy and tasty
Arugula salad - very peppery tasting as arugula should be and fresh like right from the back yard.
We shared the Salmon entree which they kindly split for use and the portion was perfect. The salmon was good, but the actual sauce with I think shitake mushroom or something?? Was TO DIE FOR!
We had a Chocolate Budino just to try some kind of dessert and it was good with pistachio, but I wanted to also try the Apple Tart, but they just ran out of it. My girl doesn't really drink and I was also driving so club soda and splash of cran for me please. lol Besided I don't do girlie fufu drinks anyways and this is NOT a place to be drinking straight shot 151's and blue Lamborghini's and get trashed. :-) I say that for Drai's or Tao. hahaha
This place was worth it and not snooty, but reflected Giada's personality on tv all the way and was elegant. It was not expensive at all and I was shocked at how affordable it was. Cheaper than the Cellar. What??!!! Ofcourse it's not your white castle prices..lol but some place to go to if you want a nice dinner and some intimate time with friends or significant others. I sooo want to go back and try about 6 things, which when I go back in May I will do just that.
This placeuse to be the old Barbary Coast, now called the Cromwell, which kind of gives me what I would say is a James Bond kind of atmosphere, though a bit small. This should be a go to place, especially since Giada's not known for her having eateries like Lagassie or Bobby Flay, and her place is WAY better IMO.
All in all, I'm looking forward to going back with our group of friends when we meet up, since several will be coming from out of town as well.
Go GIada!
