| - I guess I'm confused why everyone is going ape-shit over this place. Yes, it's good, but not OHMYGODDDDD TEAR MY EYEBALLS OUT GOOD!
The Barrymore is inside the Royal Casino (Convention Center Dr. between Paradise & Las Vegas Blvd.; across from Ross & Walgreens).
As we were trying to find a parking spot (no valet) we were approached by a very pushy homeless man that wanted to crawl into my trunk. Then when my husband gave him $10 he looked at me and wanted another $5. Ugh, greedy mother-fer!
When you walk into the restaurant, there is a bar with a TV and a few tables. You can get food served to you in there if you can't get a seat in the dining room.
Anyways, I had made a reservation for 7:30pm. We got there a few minutes early and we were seated right away in the dining room. There was ONE other table there! I was surprised for a Friday night that they were so empty!
We were greeted by the waiter that was waiting for us and promptly got us a glass of Riesling ($8).
We ordered:
*Crispy Fried Outer Banks Calamari ($13) w/ romesco sauce, herbs & lemon.
- The waiter said the romesco sauce was new. It's orange in color would make you think that it might be spicy. It's good. I could not put my finger on what the flavors were exactly, but they complemented the calamari. The batter on the calamari is light.
*Shrimp Cocktail ($14) w/ barrymore spicy cocktail sauce.
- You get 3 VERY LARGE shrimp that were FULL in flavor! Delicious!
The waiter brought out some bread. My husband really liked the bread with cherries and bacon in it. He said that it was better than Vintner Grill's!
For our entrees:
*Crispy Pork Belly ($23.50) braised with Korean flavors, kimchee fried rice, ginger carrot emulsion.
- Now I went COMPLETELY against everything, since I typically HATE pork but ordered it anyways. It was delicious! Now, it wasn't crispy, like I was thinking, but it had a nice sear to have a slight crunch to it. The fried rice was a perfect complement to all the Korean flavors. yum!
*Chicken Mole (special)
- This was one of the specials of the night. The chicken was extremely tender! The husband ordered this one. He said that it was good, but next time he would order the pork belly!
The service was very good. We constantly had people checking on us- a few managers, waiter, bus boy.
All said & done, our bill $100, definitely not bad for a night out. We looked at the dessert menu, but nothing caught our eye, so we bounced out.
The decoration was gorgeous! Very rich looking wall paper and reels on the ceiling. Loved the chic look of the entire restaurant!
In the hotel, there is a table hockey that the husband and I were going to play, but apparently someone stole the balls and they weren't going to replace them. Weird!
I would maybe go back for lunch, but I think I would rather just go for a few drinks and some appetizers, as most of the appetizers sounded good to me!
