| - Had dinner here on 6/22 with family.
I had already read the other reviews. Some reviewers liked this place, some did not. You can put me in the column for liking it.
Started off with one of my favorite drinks, a Grey Goose dry martini, straight up. It was good, so I forced myself to drink another.
Our waiter, Van, was pretty much on top of it. Friendly, knew the menu, made suggestions based on our menu questions.
I started off with the Tom Yum soup, spice level #5. Now I love spicy food but following our waiters suggestion, I stuck my level in the middle of a 1 -10 scale. Glad I did because it was just right. I could have gone up 1 or 2 more, but why? This soup was tasty. I had the shrimp version and these shrimp were very fresh and clean tasting.
We had a few different plates and shared among us. I had some type of spicy seafood noodle dish whose name escapes me right now (Grey Goose martini's?) but it is the first dish on their entree list. My wife had a green chicken curry. We switched our dishes after a short while because she thought it was a little too spicy for her. It was not too spicy for me.
Now I am somewhat of an aficionado when it comes to green curry. I make an excellent version myself. The version here at Lemongrass was better than average. My only dislike with it is that I just did not care for the pieces of potato in it, but the rest of the dish was just fine. I would order it myself.
No room for desert. It usually works out this way for me.
I would give this place somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. However, our waiter was really good and that makes a difference so I will give four stars.
If you are staying at the Aria, it is a nice option for dining. Reasonably priced......................for Vegas!
Cheers to all
