| - OK, I wanted one dinner at a fancier/nicer place before I left to go back to Pittsburgh. Honestly, I saw that Tyoko wrote a review and thought, ok, I know her, I will try it out! It was semi confusing to get to just because it was in the Venetian and that place was big. We did reserve a table via, Open Table, and after a few wrong turns we found the spot! It was really cute inside. Open, high and low top tables, nice decor, pictures of famous old musicians on the wall. I will say that there was a slide show of musicians where we were seated, but the slide show didn't have a ton of pictures, it repeated a lot. I know that is petty, but if we were there for an hour, every 5 minutes the slideshow repeated, it got boring.
As I am sitting back in Pittsburgh writing this I am still fondly looking back at the amazing meal that we had. My mouth waters at the salad and entrees, and I wish there was one closer so I could go and maybe try out a dessert or a drink. The food was really good for our only one splurge of the trip. I would say, it was delish and would urge people to try it out. It was expensive The two $$ is a little bit of a stretch. We got two meals and a side salad and it was over $100. I would say it is more like $$$ than $$. But it was worth it!
Salad:
Iceberg Wedge: baby iceberg lettuce, charred corn, heirloom tomatoes, house-smoked bacon, avocado, house-made buttermilk ranch dressing. How the heck can a salad be so freaking good? This, and I even cringe thinking about it, ICEBURG lettuce, salad was probably my favorite thing that we ordered, side wise. The tomatoes were so sweet you would have thought they were candied and that house-smoked bacon was more like pork belly than bacon and was just magnificent. We fought over this salad. The dressing, honestly was just as fresh tasting as the rest of the salad. We fought over this salad...it was that good.
Side:
Macaroni & Cheese: torchio pasta, five artisanal cheeses, crispy herb crust. Honestly, this mac and cheese was just eh. I thought that the noodles were over done and the crispy herb crust tasted just like plain breadcrumbs. I wasn't impressed and wouldn't get it again. Chris thought it was ok. But still meh....and for the price and the size of the plate, its a hard pass for me.
Meals:
Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken: 1/2 of our famous bird served with honey hot sauce. This was just a plate of fried chicken. BOY was it a huge plate though. The hot sauce was really good too. I enjoyed dipping the chicken into this a lot. My friend, his dish, thought that the chicken should have been done a little more. He enjoys a more crispier crunch to his chicken. I can see where he is coming from. It was still really good and TOO MUCH. We had leftovers for days.
Chicken 'n' Watermelon 'n' Waffles: honey hot sauce, chilled spiced watermelon, vermont sharp cheddar cheese waffle, bourbon maple syrup. OK, the same thing that I wrote about the chicken above goes for this one. I really loved it. I thought that it was done perfectly, but wouldn't have minded more crunch to the chicken myself. I thought that the hot sauce stole the show. The bourbon maple syrup, to me, tasted like straight bourbon. It smelled like bourbon and when you dipped anything it in, it was like a shot. I would pass on this dish just because of that reason. The waffle was good. It was not as crispy as I like my waffles usually nor did it have a really strong cheddar cheese taste to it. I was expecting more from this dish. While good, it was all together, meh. The watermelon too was just meh. It was spiced I think with just mint. Nothing fancy, and for the price of the dish I would have liked more than 6 squares of watermelon.
Overall, I had a good time here and would have liked to try more things than just the chicken. we realized our mistake when we got the dish and kicked ourselves for not ordering different things so we could try more. I would say, try it if you want, but if the menu seems to meh, there are a ton of other places to go in Vegas.
