| - Not sure if I'm too impressed with this place, great ambiance but the service is lacking and the quality of the food was not consistent.
Service:
Started out rocky, with no service for the first 10 minutes. When the waiter came by, we ordered a bottle of spanish wine (Tempranillo). Now I don't claim to be a wine connoisseur, but I know what I like to drink but am willing to keep an open mind when a recommendation is made. So we listened when the waiter recommended a red zinfendel instead, but thought it was strange since he threw out the recommendation without getting a sense of what we planned to order. We decided against his recommendation, and that's when he began to insult our wine selection claiming it was too earthy (we ordered a tempranillo....ummmm they're supposed to be earthy). I was not happy with this behavior, but my friend figured there must be a reason, and maybe we should at least give the zin a taste. So we asked if we could taste the Zin before committing to a bottle. Our waiter came back with an unopened bottle and 2 glasses, we had only asked for a tasting. So we made it clear to him again, that we only wanted to taste the wine, and we didn't want him to open the bottle because we weren't sure if we wanted a bottle of Zinfindel. He assured us that it would be no problem and he was certain we would like the Zinfindel. Well....we tried it....and I'm sure other people like Zinfindel's, but this one was extremely dry and tart. My friend and I looked at each other and knew this was not what we wanted. So we told the waiter, we'd like to stick with the Tempranillo. Our waiter looked really upset, after that he brought us our original selection but didn't seem very amicable. It made the atmosphere and dining experience awkward, which we didn't want. He seemed a little friendlier later on, but dealing with wine issue was not pleasant. We were sitting near the register and noticed that they were selling a lot of Zinfindel....so maybe they were trying to get rid of a case.
Food:
The quality of the food was not consistent. Here's the breakdown, out of 5:
Cheese plate - 5
Goat cheese/hazelnut salad - 5 - paired different flavors that worked really well together
scallops - 2 - too salty and there was some sand on the scallops so it ended up having a grainy taste; I couldn't finish it
Beef Tenderloin - 2 - my friend ordered this and he didn't seem too enthusiastic about his plate either, he also didn't finish his plate.
Blueberry Lemon cheesecake - 5
This isn't a restaurant on the Strip, but it's not cheap either. We paid $165 for 2 with tip, and overall the level of service and food quality were not on par to what I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber.
