My second Wolfgang Puck restaurant in two nights was better than the first. I remember Spago when they were in the Bay Area. I went there for my birthday and ordered the Pad Thai. Yes I ordered the Pad Thai at Spago and it ended up being the best I ever had. Coming in I had high expectations.
To start off, I thought the restaurant is reasonably priced, especially in Vegas. When we got there it was relatively empty and so we got a table of our choice. I definitely recommend sitting in the open area so you can watch all the people walk by and it's not as stuffy as the inside.
We ordered corn soup, grilled octopus, halibut, and steak. My friend said the steak was very good and so was my halibut. The soup and the grilled octopus were also delicious but I think I've had better grilled octopus in other places. The one downside of the octopus was it had too many beans. It was mixed in a bed of beans and since I'm not a fan of beans, it all went to waste. Because the restaurant was relatively empty, the food came out as fast as mickey d's which I wasn't too thrilled about. When you're having a business dinner and want to be able to chat for as long as possible, it's probably not a good idea to send the food out so quickly. Also for the price of the restaurant, I thought they would have paced themselves however that didn't happen. We skipped dessert since we were full so I can't give any comments on it.
I've always wanted to try the Spago at the Forum Shops and I'm glad I did. It was a great place to eat at and I'm sure I'll be back again.
