| - My boyfriend and I came to Vegas to celebrate our two-year anniversary and we are so glad we came to Pampas because they certainly helped make it a memorable one!
We purchased the Groupon dinner deal for $82 that included the Surf and Turf meal, one dessert, and one hour of unlimited beers, wines, sangrias, and caipirinhas. If it's still available, I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the deal!
LOCATION
Pampas is a restaurant off the beaten path. And what I mean by off the beaten path is that it's located in Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile but you'd have to actively search for it because you won't actually stumble upon it. It's actually hidden behind two table service restaurants whose names I can't remember, but if you know where the Panda Express is then you're near it!
RESERVATIONS / SEATING
You can easily make a reservation via phone or by Open Table and I'll always recommend Open Table because it's just another way to rack up rewards points for eating at great restaurants. We made reservations at the last minute (like made a reservation for 2 at 9:30 an hour before the time we requested) and despite us being late we were still accommodated. Granted, it wasn't a very busy night, but I always appreciate when a restaurant can accommodate for us.
We wanted a more secluded dining area so instead of sitting indoors in the main room or bar area we were seated outside in the corner two top.
DINING EXPERIENCE
Absolutely phenomenal. Our server Hallie was truly on top of her game and had continuously sent us refills on our alcoholic beverages every time she noticed they were running low/empty.
The meal itself was great. The surf and turf meal includes the churrascaria experience where the runners walk to your tables and offer you different cuts of meat but also includes a family style platter of seafood, which includes mussels, orange glazed tilapia, shrimp, and salmon. If you're on a budget, I'd say skip the surf and turf, but since I bought the Groupon deal it was just a wonderful perk of our meal.
The meats are cooked to medium rare so if you have a sensitive stomach like I do, you can always ask to have the meat cooked medium well or well done and they'll cut a slice for you and cook it inside their kitchen. Keep in mind that it won't come out immediately!
One thing I also liked is that if you have a particular type of meat you're looking for, like top sirloin or filet mignon wrapped bacon, you can always ask your server and he/she can order it for you! Unlike many churrascarias, this was definitely a great option and I like that they use iPads to place your orders.
DRINKS
First, water is NOT free! I honestly did not appreciate having to pay $2 for a bottle of water and my server didn't actually tell us that because we assumed it was already included in the meal. Anyways, just a heads up.
Caipirinhas: they have so many different flavors!! The sweetest is the strawberry and of course the best you'll get is lime. These are very strong in alcohol content and after the third drink, I could definitely feel it... so plan ahead and take a cab or uber here!
Sangrias: WHITE SANGRIA ALL THE WAY. I honestly could not even taste the wine in this at all. It just tasted like fruit juice, which to me is always the mark of a truly great sangria.
DESSERT
You get to choose between four different types: chocolate mousse, tiramisu cake, flan, and one other dessert I honestly can't remember.
We chose the tiramisu and it was a perfect finish to a very filling dinner! The cake was light, airy, and had the perfect hint of coffee.
--
Overall, I would love to return to Pampas based on the wonderful experience my boyfriend and I had. My only gripe is that their meat is very dry and they don't exactly have sauces for them either. For a churrascaria, I find this a bit problematic as meats as your specialty and they are not cooked to well done either. So I hope in the future they can find a way to make their meats juicier so that when I do return I can confidently give them the 5 star rating they deserve.
