| - I've been back 2x's now and wanted to wait until I could get back to the restaurant to actually take care of the meal myself, so that I could give an honest unbiased review.
Short version: Wow, things have really changed at this place. I love to seeing that our voices were heard, and for the front of house, it is night and day. This a great place to drop into in the Summerlin area.
Long version:
Decor/Atmosphere: 5/5
No real news under this section other than now I have gone back twice in the evening so no DJ (which makes complete since). I still love the aesthetics of the place. Very crisp.
Cleanliness: 5/5
In the last 2 visits, it has been absolutely spotless. One of the times was at the beginning of the dinner hour, and the other was in the thick of it. Both times have been great. There is no change. You couldn't tell the amount of traffic that they were dealing with either time from the look of the place. This time around, the placemats, flatware, stemware, etc were all clean.
Food: 4/5
We intentionally ordered the shrimp and calamari when we were invited back. It was noticeably fresher. Honestly, I'm always a little skeptical when invited back to a place because I feel like I'm going to get a dog and pony show (blame it on my career), so I had to order the shrimp cocktail when I went back. No show here. They really fixed it. It was so much fresher! The standout to me is the beef wellington. Outstanding! I wanted to do a happy dance in my seat. My fiance ordered the NY Strip, which he said was very good. As for the sided, the potato with mine was decadent. The roasted peppers were perfect. The mac and cheese was okay... It wasn't bad. Just not my favorite. The brussels sprouts and chicken breast were both very good. The beignets were good but not a must have. The espresso was great and didn't taste burned. My old fashioned was great on both trips.
Service: 5/5
I got Brian both times. He's fantastic! The perfect touch of friendly and efficient. He is one of my all time favorite waiters. Now if we could clone him or get him to teach others, we'd really be on to something.
It really is the tale of two restaurants. I was really pulling for this place because I love their other restaurants so much that I was really bummed when I had such a bad experience here. Now, I am absolutely a fan of this place! We eat out so often that it's hard to come by here as frequently as I would like to, but I am glad that we gave this place a second chance.
