| - I have been to the NYC outpost, but it has been a few years at this point. Things have changed a bit. The menu is definitely smaller and they have taken of some of their best options. Tomato soup dumplings anyone? The Vegas location has updated the look of the restaurant, which the NYC location was needing when I went so I can only imagine how the old boudoir look is aging. Both locations have kept with the pawn shop speak easy entrance (you can actually buy things in the shop), which is cool. It's clearly their signature.
When my party arrived, I gave our name for the reservation and was met with a very snarky, "I don't see that name just go to the bar." It was rude and unnecessary, and um....we made a reservation I'm not just going to go to the bar. The place was packed and she was clearly overwhelmed but she truly did not need to be so rude. Luckily someone else stepped in and helped us and we were seated. I will say, for the rest fo the evening, we were treated to absolutely excellent service from our server.
We were a very large party so we decided to go with a pre fixe menu and appetizers, entrees, and desserts were ordered for us from one person in our group. I am a vegetarian so there were a few options for me and a few for everyone else. here was also a vegan in the group and they were incredibly accommodating with how items were cooked and prepared to make sure we were satisfied. The food was pretty good, but not as good as I remembered it being in the NYC location. Overall, it was fine but I wasn't really that impressed. I did hear that the tuna tartare tacos were quite delicious. We weren't wowed, but it was good.
