I have been coming here for a very long time. Being from Iowa, the first time I walked in, there was a bartender from London & one from Iowa! Immediately, I felt at home & fell in love w/ their menu since I love Caviar & Champagne. Back then they had Caviar waffles that were a total hit! Homemade whole grain, sliced waffles w/ Caviar. I mean to die for! Why they took it off the menu is mind-boggling to both I & the bartenders.
Love the bar w/ a fantastic live pianist who takes request, just remember to tip of course. A couple pianist there have their own cd's for sale. Cozy ambience & a relaxed couch seating.
New Years Eve has been slightly quieter each year. I'm not sure why, but I know it's not because of the service. They have beautiful balloons covering the ceiling & it's a perfect way to start any evening. Champagne & a lite caviar snack, good company & conversation. Also my fav bartender at Olives's wife Carol works here. It's like one big family at the Bellagio. I love it.
