  • Cool little spot tucked away in an unassuming hotel just off the strip. The new trend in Vegas is refurbishing older hotels rather than blowing them up and starting from scratch. The Royal Resort, home of the Barrymore, is one such re-habbed and re-concepted hotel. Others include the Plaza downtown and Treasure Island (now known as TI). Anyhow, the lobby is pretty cool, with a funky pooltable, shuffleboard, and a piano sitting around waiting for use. Whoever did the Barrymore has huge expectations for the space. They definitely sunk a lot of dough into the place. It is kind of an odd juxtapolition, actually, alongside the comparatively stark, bachelor-pad vibe of the lobby. The menu is pretty cliched modern steakhouse with the requisite lobster mac and cheese and creamed spinach, stone crabs on special. Steaks are expensive and served a la carte, sides and sauces extra. The room is small and a bit claustrophobic. There were only a few tables in there at prime time and one was an obnoxious birthday party. When you're forking over 38 bucks for a couple of lamb chops with no sauce or side and 50 bucks for 6 tiny "floater" stone crabs, you expect a certain level of decorum to be observed in the dining room. The screaming birthday table was not aware of this unwritten rule, unfortunately. Oh, well. Also, the prices were strip-level in spite of the location and the non-union labor. Casino restaurants generally use union labor which costs about twice what non-union labor costs, hence the higher cost. Also, they pay higher rents and higher build-out costs. The Barrymore prices don't reflect their lower costs so I guess they expect to compete with the big boys in the casinos straight up based on quality and service. Good luck with that. Anyways, the food was good. The room was cool. I like the funky location and hidden gem aspect. I was torn between a 3 and 4 for this place. I'm gonna bump em up to 4 just for the campy, old school vibe and the film-reel ceiling.
