| - If you love Cheesecake Factory, then you will love this joint. Why? Because they are owned by the same company and are essentially the same restaurant.
After hearing rave reviews of this place, I knew it was worth trying. After eating there would I head back? Since there are so many other restaurants to chose from in The Venetian, probably not.
Got there at 6:00pm on a Friday night and were sat immediately. There were three of us. They brought out bread and butter right away, but really lacked as it took more than 15 minutes to come back and ask for our drink orders.
The menu selection is MASSIVE with all types of food.
We ordered:
*Edamame: Soybeans in Their Pods Stir Fried with Spicy Szechuan Sauce
-I've never had Edamame this way before and it was probably my favorite thing of the night, besides the sourdough bread.
*Asian Chicken Salad: Sliced Chicken Breast, Crisp Wontons, Rice Noodles, Lettuce, Napa Cabbage, Green Onion and Roasted Almonds. Tossed in Our Asian Dressing
-Completely flavorless. The end.
*Seafood Salad: Lump Crab, Shrimp, Avocado, Tomato, Corn, Green Beans, Egg, Celery and Green Onion Over a Bed of Crisp Romaine Tossed with Our "Louis" Dressing
-I didn't try this one, but the person said it was really good. Very generous with the seafood!
For Dessert:
*Butterscotch Caramel Pudding: Rich, Creamy Butterscotch Pudding Topped with Whipped Cream, House-Made Caramel Nut Popcorn and a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie
-To me, the pudding was thick like custard. It was delicious!
*Key Lime Pie: Baked Fresh with a Graham-Pecan Crust. Topped with Fresh Whipped Cream
-Delicious!
*White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake®
-Same cheesecake that is served at The Cheesecake Factory. I mean, can you really go wrong? Nope!
I will say that it was really nice to sit and chat with friends without being rushed. We got there at 6:00pm and left at 9:00pm. Now the service was very slow, but at the same time, if we weren't chatting and eating slow, we probably would have gotten out of there at 7:00pm.
Everyone was nice and had no problem splitting the bill 3 ways.
