| - Three stars for Las Vegas. Anyplace else, two or less. Ah, Las Vegas, how you have pretended to embrace great cuisine. But, it is very hit and miss. Buying a big name does not mean that the chef can train a chef to do the same thing in LV. That also means the staff. Oh, boy, do some of the staff in these places need to be working at McD's!!! The bartender that I had was really rude and intrusive. He made a joke about up-selling me to a prohibitively expensive version of my single malt. It was rude, inappropriate and intrusive. The food I ordered was good, but the presentation was awful. The bread was burnt. Answer, "Some people like it like that." I eventually got some, but it was not put on the grill at all. What? A pate plate without a gherkin? "Yeah, some places do that...." Worse thing, a diner was bothering me. I carried on a conversation to be polite. She kept asking for more wine. It was obvious they didn't want to deal with her, maybe a payment thing. She called them over again and asked me to pay for her wine. The bartenders did nothing to protect me or discourage this. I know, it's Las Vegas. But this was supposed to be a better dining experience. They did put one of her drinks on my bill, even though she instructed them to give me her entire bill. Really "low class". During the heyday of old LV, the house would have bought her the drink and showed her the door.
