| - It's kind of a dilemma for me when I want to give a restaurant a five-star rating based on the food alone but then the service fell flat on its nose after starting out remarkably well. I'd like to write about all the food we intended to order but unfortunately, three dishes did not even make it to our table!
Joined by my co-workers for dinner, we started off with an order of the raw oysters (6 different selections on the board) along with oyster rockefeller with foie gras as well as an order of amberjack crudo.
The raw oysters were some of the best quality in Vegas at an amazing $2 each on average. Very clean, delicious flavor. The Beau Soleil oysters were my favorite, more sweet, less briny taste (my preference). The oysters came with choices of dipping sauces of which we tried Wasabi Cocktail and Rosemary Mignonette. Our servers were very knowledgable and helped us decide on what oysters to try.
The oyster rockefeller with foie gras was already a must order as soon I laid my eyes on the menu. This is a cooked version of oyster topped with a spinach mix and some foie gras on top. I was disappointed when our 2nd order of these never came to our table. The dish came with 4 good-sized oysters and it was delicious. The amberjack crudo was equally tasty. So much in fact that we ordered another.
My co-worker ordered the assorted sashimi platter which they said had very fresh selections of fish and octopus.
Our final dish we were able to try was the caviar and french toast with the crème fraiche. Seriously amazing. Perfectly cooked, warm, french toast with a helpful scoop of caviar on top. This combination was new to me but most certainly welcome again and again.
It was at this time that we decided to order some main entrees (1/2 organic chicken on shishito peppers and yukon potatoes, also a hanger steak medium-rare) and another oyster rockefeller.
We waited over 30 minutes and attributed the delay (in comparison to how fast the rest of the prior food came) to the influx of people that came after us. Another 10 minutes passed without servers coming to our table and we finally flagged our original server down (asian guy, top knot, whose name I can't recall).
When we asked about our food, the server apologized saying he lost our ticket and the order was never placed. 40 minutes wasted. We decided to just end the night here and took the check. Unaware of the mishap, the manager said "Thank you!" as we stood to leave. I made sure to inform her of the problem before we left. Besides an apology and a promise to comp a few rounds (of what?) next visit, we left the restaurant still hungry and unsatisfied.
I'd like to give this place another shot but it's no longer near the top of my must-try list. With that said, delicious food and worth a try if you have not gone before. Just make sure they don't lose your order.
