| - I had been to Buckmans for breakfast and for lunch in the past, usually after a round of golf. This was the first time to try it at the dinner hour. We wanted someplace very informal, close by, good for a very light meal, and inexpensive. Buckmans fit the bill. We got there 10 minutes before closing. The hostess checked with the kitchen and they okayed our being seated. Regarding the ambiance, it is very informal. Unlike at breakfast and lunch, for dinner they have tablecloths and candles on the tables. A nice touch. The view out the floor to ceiling windows is the same at dinner time as it is at breakfast - spectacular. Because it was dark, you don't get to see the golf course. Just the city lights and the Strip. The service was excellent. Our server, Erika, came to our table immediately to take our drink orders. No problem giving us a taste of a beer that we weren't familiar with to see if we liked it (we did!). We decided to share a Reuben on rye and an order of crispy sweet potato fries. The sandwich was perfection! The bread was a two tone rye that was excellent. And they made the fries crispy as ordered. I really liked that the manager, Kelly, worked the room, talking to each table to make sure everything was going well. For an informal, inexpensive restaurant with a spectacular view, they are doing a lot of things right. I will definitely be coming back to dine here again soon.
