| - I'll start by saying that Debbie, our waitress, made this a five star experience. If not for her, it very easily would've been two stars.
We decided to come here at 1AM due to a lack of other veggie options (it seems like everything vegan is shut down at midnight for some reason).
The restaurant is nestled in the Venetian hotel, with bistro style seating right next to the casino. Inside, however, it's a bit more intimate with the dim lighting. We could still hear the occasional victory cheers from patrons who hit the jackpot in the casino. Definitely not a quiet place, but a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the casino.
To start, we spent a good amount of time studying the drink menu. They've got some stellar cocktails, all on the weaker side and kind of expensive, but that's the Strip for ya.
Piña colada: not bad.
Mojito: the bomb.
They've also got several wine and beer options for those looking to avoid cocktails.
When ordering food, we noticed they have separate menus available depending on what time of day it is. Their overnight menu has a lot of options: my friends got sliders, a breakfast plate piled high with bacon, and a couple cheeseburgers. They also have many steak, pasta, pizza, and salad options. But again, I woefully found a lack of vegan options on this menu.
This is where Debbie came in to save the day. She finagled with the chefs to see if they'd cook up a special dish for me. And they did just that. I was brought a beautiful plate of sautéed mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, and brown rice. Large servings, well displayed, and made to order. It hit the spot and kept the night from going down a disappointing path.
We never felt rushed. And I was pleased to see one of the chefs, decked out in his nice white chef jacket, personally come out to let us know the progress of our meals.
Debbie checked on us routinely but didn't hover, and she really was a sweetheart.
Ultimately, it was a great late night dining experience.
