| - On one of our many trips to Vegas, Minh and I met up with our friends Ashley and her fiancé Taj for a late night dinner. This place came highly recommended by Kent D. Seeing the amazing reviews and all the yummi photos and not to mention they have Sangria, I was in!
When I told Ashley where we were going she was overly excited, come to find out this is one of her favorite places to eat at.
Now, parking here is hard, you will be making circles in the parking lot trying to stalk people coming out of the restaurant. Give yourself more than enough time is all I can suggest. A lot of their clientele are people pre-gaming before a night of drinking and dancing so it will be busy until about 11:00pm. They do not take reservation on Friday and Saturday nights either.
Minh and I were the first to arrive; we put our name in and had a seat outside. We were told it would be no more than a 20-30 minute wait for a party of four.
Our friends arrived just in time as our name was called about 10mins later. I think we only waited a total of 15mins or so which is awesome considering the place was packed when we arrived.
Most of the staff was nice; we were lead to the back of the restaurant, which was fine for us. The place is loud and it can be hard to hear each other, so do not be surprised if people look at you if you are talking loudly so someone at your table so that they can hear you!
Our server came by and took our drink order I had a White Sangria, while Ashley had a Mojito (which btw is super strong).
The menu is impressive with what they have, wanted to order one of everything just to try it! Ashley made suggestions on what was the BEST; all her suggestions were true to her word too!
I started out with trying (and ooo btw the White Sangria was prefect, strong and tasty... can I get a pitcher?!)
-Ceviche of Shrimp-tiger shrimp, avocado, crispy corn tortilla
-Steak and Mushroom Skewers- grilled filet, roast garlic cream, red wine reduction
-Ahi Tuna Skewer-mango, basil, mustard-ginger glaze
I was going to rate this with a perfect five but towards the end our server got sloppy and started forgetting orders. I ordered Empanada's and as the rest of my friends and boyfriend received their food; I was left sipping on my sangria wondering where my darn empanadas were. Well maybe they take some time to make I thought. Therefore, I let it go not thinking much until Minh realized that I still did not get my order.
We tried to get our server attention, which took some flagging down. She finally came over and we asked her about my order. She stared at us blankly and said, "Did you order Empanada's?" I said yes I did. "oh, I didn't put your order in" When she walked back to the kitchen, I guess they were sitting there for awhile she came back and said that someone must have put the order in because they were sitting in the pickup line. Knowing that they were sitting for a while, I did not have a good feeling to eat them, so I told her never mind. She made kind of a stink about it so instead we asked for a box to take it with us.
Would I come back again, yes! It's rare for me to say that if I had semi crappy service, but the food and sangria is just damn good!
