i ate here for the first time this weekend and was uber excited to try this place out! i was disappointed for a handful of reasons...will i go back? probably not...vegas is kind of a mecca for food....so many different cuisines and types of food there, i definitely would not go back...
first off...its expensive...TOO expensive if you ask me...
i understand that spanish tapas and "tapas" in general are small plates with smaller portions BUT cmon man...how are you going to charge what you charge for this food?
so here is what i ordered...
mini burgers with peppers and alioli...these 3 sliders tasted like sliders. normal sliders...it supposed to be made from special spanish pigs, but they tasted like normal state side pigs to me.
pressed ham sando with manchego cheese and truffles...i really cant say anything negative about this sandwich...i loved it...like to the point where i could just order 3 or 4 orders and just eat them one by one...very truffley, very buttery, salty from the ham, and very cheesy...great sandwich indeed.
spanish omelet with potatoes and onions...i make this at home all the time. its just an omelet with runny egg and 5 slices of thin potato slices in there...wth? so boring.
homemade pork sausage stew with pearl onions and mushrooms...i really wanted to like this dish, but for as much flavor that there was here...it was overpoweringly salty...like to the point where i wanted to gag salty...
seared scallops with romesco sauce...these scallops were cooked well...they give you 2 scallops for 15 bucks...at Yardhouse you order extra scallops with their tomato cream sauce and its 20 bucks for 8 scallops the same size and taste similar...
grilled skirt steak with pepper confit...overcooked. and chewy. not great in any way.
im reading that the service there is phenomenal...our servers werent. they werent bad in any way, but i mean cmon....thats your job...so just do it...
oh yeah...not only did i get a mean stomach ache and indigestion that kept me up all night...my g.f. ended up yacking from the food as well...i dunno what it was exactly, but something was not cooked right...i eat spanish tapas all over the place and im always fine to go the next day...not hunched over the porcelain bowl the next morning...
(why 2 stars? like i wrote earlier. that pressed ham sandwich with truffle and manchego is truly a delight. take my advice and just order 4 of them and go about your trip)
