| - A group of nine of us went here on a Wednesday night, the envy of everyone else who had to go to the other restaurants nearby. Maybe with the jealousy in play, my expectations were higher than they should have been, but I would have thought that for the price and expectations, the service and experience would have been a bit better.
First was the table - round tables, especially for large groups, suck. We were crammed into the table, our feet kicking one another and having to eat like we were preying mantises (think of eating with your elbows glued to your sides).
Second was the service - for a $$$$ restaurant take the ladie's orders first and keep track of who ordered which dish so that we aren't shuffling food around when it is served.
Third was the appetizers - the waitress recommended family style and in a compromise we decided to have a bevy of appetizers to share. However, for a restaurant that recommended family style they were impossible to serve and cut up.
Fourth was the drinks - excellent drinks but sheesh this is Vegas, keep them coming! Be attentive!
Now the goods - great food. I had a veal with salad peppers (gave it a little kick) that was unlike anything I have had before and tasted excellent. I also had a great apple tart dessert which achieved great balance. So many desserts are excessively sweet and rich these days; it's nice to have one that is lighter, not so sweet, and showcases the flavors of the ingredients.
Also, the portions were well defined. By no means did I leave hungry, but I was able to have dessert and leave without feeling like a glutton. I ate everything that I would have wanted to.
