So I decided to eat late night on 2-23-12 and thought the Pasta Pirate in the california hotel would be good. Sadly I was wrong.
I had a friend with me and I ordered the oysters and a standard pasta dish, while my friend ordered the siorloin special that was written in chalk at the entrance. Dont get me wrong; both the waitress and the busboy were very curtious and helpful. However when my friend ordered the stake it was said to the waitress to prepare the steak medium-well with even a slight pink to be left in the center would be acceptable.
That was NOT the case. The steak was very well done and almost a borderline beaf jerky. However when the busboy went to take the steak back and perhaps have the cook [I call him a cook and not a chef] prepare another meal, I could literally hear the cook complain out loud. I knew it was about my party, cause the conversation was that loud between the cook and the busboy.
I almost expected the cook to leap over the counter to my table with a butcher knife it was like that. I know sometimes that they may get upset; however it is what the customer wants; NOT what the cook/ chef say this is the way its going to be.
Overall the Hotel/ casino were not all that bad, only the Pasta Pirate needs a extensive lesson in manners.
Yes; the steak special was taken off my bill at the end, but deliberately speaking out loud where everyone can hear you is very unprofessional. I most likely will visit the casino again, but the restaurant is on my never to visit places again.
