| - Awesome restaurant. Very classy atmosphere, but not pretentious. I feel comfortable here wearing jeans or a dress. Service is always great (it helps that I'm always here with my father, whom most of the staff know). Everyone is wonderful and friendly. They start you off with an offering of three different breads: dinner roll, sourdough, and a blue corn muffin, I think. Yummm I could make a meal just out of the bread. For the appetizers, I highly recommend the blue cheese souffle, the squash soup, and the farmer's market green salad, which had an amazing pecan goat cheese that tasted wonderful with the pomegranates.
The first time I was here, they didn't have any vegetarian options on the menu, so we had the chef prepare something for me, which was good, but nothing spectacular. The next time, they finally added a meatless dish! The mushroom risotto which is fantastic. Normally, I don't even like mushrooms, but this dish was creamy and earthy and yummy. The rest of my family swears by the bison. Can't say anything about that, but there you go.
The ice cream trio is always a good choice for dessert, and the flavors seem to change almost monthly. I had the pumpkin flan during the autumn season, which was easily the best dessert I've ever had in Vegas. Oh, and I love the delicious little butterscotch pudding cups.
The last time I was there, they had an enormous party that was holding up the kitchen or something, because we ended up waiting in between courses about 30 minutes. And when they finally brought out the entree's, one of the bison dishes was completely overcooked. They comped us most of the meal because of that, and the waitress (she must have been new) was so nervous and nothing but apologetic. So that's the only reason I'm knocking off a star.
