| - Visited this establishment with my uncle, who frequents Delmonico, but wanted to give this a try.
We arrived about 10 minutes early and were told there was one couple to be seated ahead of us, but we could have a seat at the bar. There was no seating at the bar, so we ended up standing at the end of it in front of the cocktail station. Maybe that was bad bar etiquette on my part, but still. Considering we were standing right in front of the bartender, we were never even offered a drink or a better place to wait.
I don't have much to say about the food. I ordered the salmon, medium. It was cooked to perfection, but really lacked flavor, and the brussel sprouts were burned and oily. I've had much better at Gordon Ramsey's Pub and Grill at a much lower price.
After we received our entrees, our waiter was not to be seen again. He did not even return to check on the meal. He only came back to up-sell us on dessert, which also was unimpressive. We ordered the pistachio gelato, which was nothing to write home about.
Honestly, the best part of my meal was the dry rosé I had at the beginning and the blood orange tea I had at the end of it. The tea was wonderful, and the young girl that brought it to us (see also was very attentive about our water the entire night), gave us the best service out of everyone.
My uncle, who is VIP at many establishments in Vegas, left saying "Delmonico is much better."
