| - We were in Vegas over Thanksgiving weekend and this was our first meal of the week. It was a short walk from the Wynn but oddly difficult to find in the Palazzo. My friend mentioned to me that the layout of this mall makes it difficult for restaurants to get business because customers don't know where they're located. Well, we came on a Tuesday night around 9pm, so it would be relatively empty. We ordered our drinks and while we were waiting, our server brings us the bread basket, which was pretzel bread with 3 variants of mustard: spicy, honey, and whole grain. The menu had a grungy rock 'n roll pub look, complete with tongue-in-cheek humor: one hot dog entree is described as 'Have you seen my 12" Weiner?'--fully loaded, can you take it? 12 inches for $12". Food options ranged from pub grub, diner classics, Grandma's Italian comfort food, and pan-Asian. Something for everyone, even your discerning old school Asian clientele.
My friend ordered the Oven Roasted Free Range Chicken and I decided to get the Dr. Pepper BBQ St. Louis Ribs. My entree arrives in an oven bag and comes with a side of cheesy grits and a couple of handy wipes. You have to tear the bag open to reveal its smoked contents. The ribs are so tender, they slide off the bone, a good sign. You don't even have to pick them up. You can be civilized and use a knife and fork like your momma taught you. The grits were out of this world! To be fair, I don't eat grits often. I associate them with the instant variety, with a sand-like grainy texture. These grits were were delectably buttery and creamy, much like polenta. My friend enjoyed her chicken entree as well. The portions were so generous, we couldn't finish them. And believe me, I was famished--my last meal was at the airport at 6am EST and it was 9pm PST!
Drinks were delicious but not potent. Lynch's Lemonade (Seagram's Sweet Tea, Absolut, Lemonade) packed the punch of a Mike's Hard Lemonade. I should have heeded our server's advice and ordered the Cucumber Gimlet (Hendrick's, cucumber, lime). They had some delicious-sounding seasonal drinks but were out of whipped cream, so my friend had to make another selection. She tends to favor stronger drinks so maybe she had better luck than I did.
My portion of the bill came to $40 excluding tip. While it wasn't the best meal we had that week, the fact that it's open late, has generous portions, and is reasonably priced makes it a good value (for the Strip, anyway). If I were here with friends and they wanted to catch a game and drink some beers, this would be a place I would consider recommending.
