  • This won't be much of a review because we didn't have much of a visit. I went on a bustling Saturday night and got the last free table in the dining room. There was no wait. As my dinner party sat there, after a while the conversation at our table turned to how long it was appropriate to wait to be served. 5 minutes? 10 minutes? There was a loud piano nearby so it was hard to talk about that, or anything, but we tried. The restaurant didn't appear understaffed. In particular there was a busboy-looking guy who was practicing twirling his dishtowel in an elaborate way while walking back and forth between tables in the dining room. He passed close by our table and several others. Since he was dressed as a busboy we kept expecting him to do busboy-like things. Maybe bring some water. Put some silverware down on our empty table. Refill some water at the tables near us with empty glasses. Clear some of the dirty dishes that I could see sitting around? But he never did. Maybe he was a plant -- an agent of a competing restaurant trying to discredit this one? There were also waiters walking around. The waiter who was in our section the most often seemed to be engaged in apologizing sincerely to many of the other tables near us. We couldn't quite overhear him though (thanks to the piano). Again, how long is it appropriate to wait for someone to serve you? 10 minutes? 15 minutes? Several attempts at meaningful eye contact had failed at this point, so I tried raising my hand. No luck. The dishtowel-twirler was in his own world, and the waiters were bustling, but not stopping. We tried discussing the overly-eclectic menu for a while but grew tired of it. Since we were hungry talking about food didn't seem like a good idea. And that piano sure was loud. I read in the paper that the Picasso estate routinely files lawsuits trying to stop unauthorized use of the artist's name. I wonder if this place has a license? Yelp forbids reviewers from mentioning the names of other restaurants in reviews, so I'll refrain from mentioning the authorized restaurant with a similar name in Las Vegas. (I've never been there anyway so I don't know how they would compare.) I also won't mention the similarly-named restaurants in New York that were closed down by lawsuits from the Picasso estate. Although I guess they don't count as restaurants since they don't exist anymore. After saying "excuse me" loudly to a passing waiter a few times produced no effect, I thought that maybe there was a kind of invisibility shield around our table. At 25 minutes we gave up and left.
