| - The three stars are really for the bartender, Wayne! He was totally awesome; it was refreshing to meet someone who was wonderful at their job. He was attentive but not intrusive, he had a sense of humor, he was great at making small talk, and he made us feel welcome. Unfortunately the other employees were not so pleasant.
We went to Camelot because we wanted to use the $20 coupon we received after requesting (yeah they did not give us one at check-in) it from Luxor. We picked Camelot because we felt like we could get something of substance for the $20 without spending much more. I looked at Rice and Company as well as Tender (both at the Luxor) and frankly saw and read nothing I liked.
Initially we were sat in the secluded, dark and romantic main seating area. We did not have any reservations. We noticed that we were not given the Happy Hour menu, so my man asked and we were directed to the bar area. There are two mounted TVs and bar stools.
Wayne introduced himself, provided menus, and made himself at our service. We already knew we wanted the Cheese Tasting, my man chose the Oyster Shooters without really knowing what they were. Wayne recommended a Peach Kiss (I believe that was the name), which was strong and wonderful (very fruity). My man also ordered a Strawberry Margarita.
We quickly received the Cheese Tasting, which included crackers and crostinis. The 3 cheeses were cheddar, a huge block of blue cheese, and a slice of brie. They also included a dab of honeycomb, 2 dates, 2 dried peaches, 2 dried apricots, walnuts, grapes, and another dried fruit. I ate the huge block of blue cheese, since my man does not enjoy it. The cheeses were pretty delicious. I did wish the brie was not cold/hard. The honeycomb was really a nice touch. The crostinis were nice, but I wished they included more bread options since the cheese provided was quite substantial in comparison to the bread. The grapes and walnuts were also great accompaniments. The dried fruit did not add much and was difficult to consume.
The Oyster Shooters were alright. They really are more of an alcoholic type of appetizer. They come in tall shot glasses and include a single oyster in each glass (total of 2-one tequila and one spicy Bloody Mary-esque). My man did not like the tequila one, so after I downed the tomato based shooter, I downed his. Waste not, want not. Would pass on the shooters.
The Peach Kiss was described as the most popular drink by Wayne and I was pleased with it. It is like a martini (I could taste the vodka), but fruity and slightly frothy. Being the sweet drinker I am, I quite enjoyed this drink.
The Strawberry Margarita was alright, except my man thought it was too sweet and I thought I could taste smoke. I would pass on this drink in the future.
Damage: Cheese Tasting $12, Oyster Shooters $9, the drinks $10+ each and -$20= decent small meal and drink. I enjoyed it, but only the Cheese Tasting was worth it! Thanks again Wayne.
