| - Below is what happens when I write a review while I'm hangry after waiting close to two hours to be seated for my early birthday dinner.
I've been here twice, with a great first experience meeting friends for dinner and being showered with attention. The second time was a letdown from our first kiss experience, if only the hostess didn't have an attitude and would have let us known sooner so we could go somewhere else to have dinner...like the nearby Crave.
I would like to say that despite the excessive wait "due to a mishap in the kitchen" (which I saw was an excuse cited on another review), the service once seated was again excellent. Our server made sure he took our order promptly and the lady manager took care of a round of drinks for us. This was much later in the night when the dust settled and the short staffed restaurant could actually keep up.
The food as my daughter called it is "acceptable, but not exceptional".
Clams & Linguini - dry, very dry. Thankfully our wonderful server brought out a large "spoonful" more of broth. Downtown Summerlin may be experiencing a broth shortage & conserving.
Oscar Filet - Cooked medium well perfect, albeit underseasoned. The crab meat in bernaise was delicious and got us curious about trying this at Oscars next time.
Chicken Marsala - a very good dish that is similar to the one I make. Thin sliced velveted chicken with a very light translucent marsala sauce, served with mashed potatoes topped with fried leeks (fancy onion straws).
The wine wall is pretty, but we didn't understand how climbing up the wall to get bottles was safe or sanitary...shoes that have been walking through kitchen, bathrooms and now leaving all that behind for the next person to grab and bring to your table....hmm. I can't wait to see who will own or close down this restaurant when a wine bottle or staff member falls on top of them.
Hangry Review:
DO NOT BOTHER COMING HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE LIED TO ABOUT WAIT TIMES.
Decided to write a review after our 2nd experience here. First off, you can't make a reservation unless it's for a party of 8 or more. We got here at 7:30 and told there would be an hour wait. Ok fine, this is Downtown Snoberlin so we decided to wait. We check in again after 50 minutes and told to wait another 30-45 minutes. If it weren't for the fact we've already wasted over an hour waiting for this hyped up location, we would have left. I'm writing this review while sitting in the waiting area and getting more irritated by the minute as I see parties of 2 seated at tables for 4. The girls running the front desk are clueless and the manager non-existent.
I honestly will never return to this location again. As far as the food goes, it was ok... anything halfway decent in Summerlin will draw this sheltered crowd.
