| - Sugarcanes appears to be a newer restaurant in the Venetian. It's billed as a tapas style restaurant which means you're ordering lots of small dishes to feed the table. I'm ok with the concept, it can be quite enjoyable. We found a similar restaurant, Sego, in Kanab, UT where everything was just incredible.
Not so here :-(
Ambience is good, typical Vegas with a Cuban influence. If you like run, this is the place, I lost count of the different names.
We had just arrived in the hotel so we were eating early 5ish. Restaurant was pretty empty but they seat us right next to the serving station. The server takes our drink order but forgets (several times) my son's drink.
First round of "tapas" arrives:
Thai style pork ribs (excellent)
Duck and waffle (duck confit, waffle, Sunnyside up duck egg. Incredible dish, the table favorite :-D )
Salmon poke (eh)
Hokkaido scallop (several paper thin slices of scallop on jicama. Not bad but overpriced)
Angus sliders (RIPOFF. $8 / slider, a piece of meat just slightly bigger than a Kennedy half dollar)
2nd round:
Beef ribs(ok)
Crispy Smashed potatoes with salsa verde (excellent)
Avocado toast (very good)
Lobster roll (ok)
Special of the night: beef empeƱada (another table favorite, EXCELLENT)
As you can tell, we really enjoyed the food. What brings this rating down is the terrible service (the bus boy who kept circling our table like a predator stalking it's prey was especially creepy) and the price gouging (even for Vegas). Our bill was $300 (without tip).
If you have money to burn and don't mind bad service, go for it
