| - We used to like Canter's at Treasure Island, long closed, so we were pleased to run across Canter's at the Linq Promenade and went there for a late dinner. Very nice restaurant with photos of the original Canter's in LA covering the walls.
Food was good. We had matzoh ball soup and half sandwich, David had a corned beef reuben with potato salad, and a Rachel with brisket and macaroni salad. No complaints at all about our food. We liked that you could get a reuben or almost any other sandwich as your half sandwich - at the venerable Sherman's in Palm Springs, you can only get plain meat sandwiches with the combo.
Service was another matter. We weren't given napkins or cutlery. The soup came with a spoon so we used that for our salads, but when we asked for napkins it took several minutes (?) to get them. There was only a yellow mustard container on the table. David asked for deli mustard, our server said the container was all they had. She explained they had only been open for 5 weeks. It showed. David discovered the yellow container actually had brown mustard in it, so that was ok. Our soup and sandwich were served at the same time. At other places the soup comes out first, which is nicer. Also the soup portion was a bit small, though the sandwich was generous.
The next table (there were only 5-6 tables occupied as it was around 10 PM) waited agonizingly long to get their bill and to pay. We got our bill pretty quickly and paid cash so we didn't have to wait.
We love Canter's Fairfax and love having the option for Canter's again in Vegas. Hopefully they can work out the startup issues, the good news is the food is already great.
