| - Very casual which is nice, well designed interiors ~
This is a new restaurant on "The Strip" so that was our reason to try, & neither myself or husband had been inside the Tropicana....... nicer than I expected and had been modernized, SURPRISE! and The Trop offers free parking so that's a PLUS also
Let's start with drinks ~ we each ordered "specialty" cocktails. A Rum punch for me and a Libra something for the hubby. Both were pricy, to be expected on the Strip, however it seemed to take awhile to get our drinks (and the restaurant/bar wasn't anywhere near full,) Saturday night 6pm ~ this is early for Vegas!!! Anyway the drinks appear.....mine looked like a mini cocktail, I even commented, which I don't do, but I felt this was outrageous! My cocktail tasted good, just small ~ my husbands drink was good and a more fitting size for the price $$$$$
APPETIZERS ~ we ordered the Lump Crab Aranchini, just SUBERB! And we were both surprised how crispy golden brown served with a SIRACHA sauce (wasn't scorching & and I am a hot sauce sissy!) DEFINITELY ORDER THESE
The Heirloom Tomato Salad, beautifully presented and tasted as DEEELISSSH as it looked looked! Ofcourse Heirloom Tomatoes are seasonal so beware what time of year this is on the menu~
Main Courses ~ were DELIVERED before we were half way finished with the Heirloom Tomato Salad.......the food runner stood there as wee looked at him kinda surprised......then he asked IF we wanted him to take it back???? We said no, fearing our plates would be placed under heat lamps plus my fish & chips couldn't survive a reheat we did mention this to our server, who seemed appalled ~ well HELLLLOO, it's the servers fault! Not the kitchen, as the server keys in the order and needs to time their tickets~
I had the Fish & Chips ~ this was not something I would usually order however the menu was limiting for my tastes ~
The coating on the fish was malted beer batter and served golden brown~ on the menu it comes with a curry sauce, which I asked for on the side....thank goodness as I think it would have made the fried crust mushy (Ewww!) PLUS we not curry people. I did try the sauce, it was OK, mustard like with curry. Remember this is an English Pub style eatery and the English do like curry..... still seems odd curry or Mustard with fish.
My Husband had The Skirt Steak served with chips (fries) & asparagus ~ the presentation was Ok & he said is was alright~
We did not order a dessert, however did see many passing by....appeared to be GENEROUS in size ~
The wait staff were eager.....always asking to clear our plates while still eating....this is a training issue ~ constantly filling barely touched water glasses ~ our server was very eager to give us his card once he learned we were locals, like BEFORE we got our cocktails, so we could ask for him upon our return.
Overall I don't see going back for a meal, and would order a different cocktail, however the apps/Salad were all worth it!!
