| - My visit was on a Monday night, after 10 pm. Upon being seated, took 8 minutes to be greeted and asked for drinks. Water was all that I was interested in and it was never refilled for the entirety of my visit. The infamous sage-fried chicken salad was my choice for the night, and it simply reinforced why I don't order salads at most restaurants. For $14, I was not only unimpressed but pretty let down considering it was a go-to item on the menu. To note: salads are huge at this place; but that is to be expected when the salad is solely composed of chopped iceberg, CHEAP. The remainder of toppings included grape tomatoes, blue cheese, and pecans. For a serving bowl-sized salad, 4 grape tomatoes is hardly noticeable and the pecans were so chopped that they were unrecognizable. The crumbled blue cheese was an adequate amount. Now to the chicken. Sage is a strong herb so it should be identifiable fairly easily, it was not. The chicken, in fact, had no taste and was clearly made MUCH earlier in the day then left to sit, so that there was a weird gummy layer in between the skin and meat. This was surely old chicken that was thrown under the broiler to heat up. With all of this, a weirdly tangy dressing is served, actually tossed in the salad, and good thing I opted for it on the side instead because its mildly inedible. There were only 3 other options for salad dressing, STRANGE, but the cucumber ranch wasn't too bad. The worst part of this effortless salad entree were the numerous cores of lettuce I found. I picked 3 while eating it and i was only able to eat half the salad, so not sure if there were more. One core of iceberg head is 1 too many, and 3 is just careless. I tried washing down this mess with water but i had to do it conservatively because the server never returned after i asked for a different salad dressing. In fact, when she did return much later, it was to give us the check, when we hadn't requested it, and no dessert was offered. With this prime location in the strip, everything i mentioned needs major attention and improvement. I won't return.
