| - Went for dinner using a GroupOn, and my expectations were moderately high because of ratings and comments of this place. We won't be returning again when there are other options (and I'm not restricted to a Kosher menu). Their management needs to step up if they want to draw in and keep new clientele.
I need to point out the inexperienced waitstaff who also broke a health code: A waitress was picking her teeth with her hand behind the bar before making a drink. She was *completely unaware* that this would not be okay, and she's doing this in plain sight of the dining room. We had just sat down and the only reason why we didn't leave right at that moment was because we were starving. My BF, a former GM of fine dining restaurants, pointed out she also wasn't wearing any socks -- not something patrons want to see. She was one of two waitresses working the restaurant that evening, and while both were tremendously difficult to flag down considering we were just one of three tables being occupied, this particular waitress looked completely disinterested in LIFE and making a guest experience reasonably nice. They didn't grasp the timing of coming by to check up on us, even from the very moment we sat down (it took us four minutes to get two glasses of water, and we had to ask for it).
Our first dish came out cold on the inside (the spinach fondue, which was a fancy name for a simple spinach-artichoke dip). They had also given us a meager-looking portion of chips to dip in; when we asked for more near the beginning, the waitress went to check and found out they had run out of chips. Shouldn't they have addressed this from the beginning? They took it back to make sure it was properly heated. The evening wore on, and our waitress (not the teeth-picking one) was increasingly becoming more apologetic in her demeanor, perhaps anticipating that we would find some dishes she brought would be unsatisfactory.
Someone commenting further below said that this restaurant menu has an identity crisis. I agree. From potato bravas to lamb sliders (I enjoyed them) to fish tagine to avocado egg rolls (they also made up some fancy name for it -- they are very reminiscent of Cheesecake Factory avocado egg rolls), the menu is strangely diverse.
The decor was interesting -- it's dimly lit, romantic in some nature, except they didn't have highboys for two -- we were seated at a four-top (the waitress first tried seating us at an eight-top at the entryway, to which I raised an eyebrow...).
The food was okay but nothing to write home about... which is a disappointment, because I really thought it had an interesting menu and close enough to my home to support it semi-regularly. With all the other great dining options around Las Vegas, I would be hard-pressed to ever return here again.
