| - Coming off my less than satisfying meals at Nathan's and Pan Asian (granted, they're food court joints, but still!), I was in dire need of a "real" meal. Unfortunately though, by the time I could grab dinner (10pm), my options were limited, especially since I wasn't in the mood to wander far. Insert Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, whose namesake I'd long been curious about, but had never bothered trying. But hey, if work is going to pay for it, why not?
Beyond my curiosity about Wolfgang Puck, coming here was also driven by how easy it was to grab a table, as well as their hours (11:30am to 6:00am?!). Looking over the menu, several things caught my eye (they have appetizers, salads, pastas, pizzas, and a mix of entrees), but I wasn't quite sure what to get since I wasn't familiar with what their namesake is known for (as in dishes, not his multitude of restaurants).
-- ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS with Crispy Kale...$12

Not sure what to make of this one. The sprouts and kale were fine and the bacon added a nice saltiness. However, the bacon wasn't a pleasant surprise if you don't eat pork (it's not listed on the menu) and made the dish both greasy and a bit sweet (it might have had maple on it).
-- RIGATONI with Fennel Sausage Bolognese, Parmesan, and Italian Parsley...$26

I would've been happy with something warm and comforting, but this was great! The portion was quite fair and it tasted fantastic! The pasta was well cooked and not overly sauced, but the bolognese was the star - not super sweet, well seasoned, and just a bit meaty. Well worth ordering!
As far as service goes, it was pretty awesome, but still had one major flaw. While the hostess and "assistant" servers were super friendly and helpful, my primary server was lacking on the latter. Particularly when it came to answer questions about what they/Wolfgang Puck are known for; sorry, but, "Uhh...depends on what you like", "he's good at everything he makes", and "pizzas seem popular" don't really do much.
Other than my primary server, as well as that sprouts dish, my experience here was surprisingly satisfying. I may not have had high expectations, but it was still a solid meal and I'd be happy to get the rigatoni again (or to try something new). Though I may not go out of my way to come back, this is a good option to have late into the night!
