| - We have been here for lunch and dinner recently, each time hoping we have found a 'keeper' on our Restaurant List, sadly at this point that is not the case.
Most recently we dined there Friday night, the restaurant was quite busy, something the staff was unprepared to handle. A sudden influx of customers can understandably slow down service; however when we made our reservation we took the last remaining spot available for that hour. They should have prepared accordingly. Our biggest disappointment came from the wait staff. Service was exceedingly slow, discombobulated, cumbersome at best. Our table was wobbly, a request for the wine list took at least 15 minutes, then we had to ask again. We were served our plates from the wrong side, the waiter reaching across the table to serve, they did not get one course served to the correct person. It appeared as if it were a new restaurant opening, unprepared and understaffed. On the service side, one of their saving graces may be the recent addition of some of the staff from the recently closed Rosemary's, where service was always impeccable.
Additionally, the choice of music that was piped in the background, was not dinner appropriate unless you are under 30 years old.
Garfields certainly is a lovely restaurant, nautical theme with a fabulous location. Sadly, we have not experienced eating anything particularly memorable there, with the exception of the bread. Plus, we found the menu sorely lacking in variety, nothing jumps out at you, it's all pretty ordinary fare.
With Marche Bacchus, one of the best 'off the Strip' restaurants literally a few steps away, Garfields has formidable competition. Lets hope they can pick up their game, and find their niche to keep people coming back. We were quite disappointed
