| - I have lived in Las Vegas since 1976 and frequented BT many times over the years. My wife and I were having an anniversary in July and thought what a perfect place for a nice dinner. I made reservations in advance. We were seated on time but way in the back of the restaurant next to the exit door and directly under an air conditioning duct blowing extremely cold air on both of us, so much for advanced reservation and they knowing it was our anniversary. I said something to our waitress ( which I might add was extremely good and friendly ) and she suggested we move to the other two seats, which was a little better. I asked for a large bottle of pelegrino for us to split but they only carry small bottles of perrier, so we had a couple of club sodas with lime. We ordered a couple of appetizers, one calamari and a shrimp cocktail, the calamari was left in deep fryer to long and was very crispy ( not good ), the shrimp cocktail consisted of 4 med. size shrimp on a lettuce plate, I was thinking about the 99 cent cocktails and how overly priced this shrimp cocktail was. we order our main meals and my wife wanted the chicken fettuccine and I ordered the filet and lobster tail, the chicken fettuccine came on a very large plate ( must of been a pound of fettuccine ) sort of what you might expect at the Claim Jumper, the sauce was very bland with not much flavor. The rib eye was over cooked ( not the med rare I ordered ) and the lobster tail was left on the open flame grill to long and was burnt and tough. I could of sent all the above back but knowing by reading other Yelp reviews my wife and I wouldn't have been eating together as the meals would of been delivered at different times. The highlight of our anniversary dinner was the fudge chocolate cake, which I am sure wasn't made at Bob Taylors Ranch House and was very good. I wrote a letter to the owner of BT and received a phone call from manager April. I explained the experience and she said that she would get back to me. A week later I received a gift certificate from BT and it was for a whooping $25.00. I called April and asked if this was some kind of sick joke ( $25.00 ) and she said no, I told her I was insulted by the amount and having spent that night over $150.00 it wasn't quite adequate She said the owner Jeff told her how much to send. I told her to tell Jeff to keep it and buy a nice bottle of bourbon to drink as his restaurant fails. I mean really the $25.00 would of payed for two desserts , a couple of drinks and the tip. So sorry about Bob Taylors it was a fine dinner house for years but I will not be going back again. The thing about restaurants in Las Vegas is the mediocre ones don't last long as we have some of the best foods and chefs in the U.S. But i suppose Jeff will be able to live off the past reputations of the restaurant for a while before closing the doors.
