Atmosphere: 5 Stars
To sum it up, not memorable. For a Michelin two stars restaurant, the experience was beyond underwhelming. I scheduled this dinner for a duo birthday celebration for my friend and myself. There's quite a few things that went wrong last night. I think it is pretty embarrassing for a high class world known restaurant like this. Maybe I came the wrong since chef Serrano is not personally overseeing the place last night.
I ordered the Degustation tasting menu, and my friend order the prix fixe menu. We tried each other's dishes. We agreed that most dishes were good but not amazing. We liked his signature scallop the most. Besides this dish, I also like the lobster salad and halibut. Again, those were good but forgettable.
Here's the parts where it went wrong. A friend stopped by and chatted with us in the middle of the dinner. They didn't care to ask her if she would like to order any drinks. They finally gave her some water till 30 minutes later. Then, it was the main entree of my friend's wagyu short rib. I honestly don't know how it's called wagyu. The meat wasn't even as tender as it should be but the problem was the seasoning. It was like someone added an extra bag of salt to piss the chef off. We asked to send it back, and got another one without sauce. The manager came out and apologize. I appreciated that she personally brought the second dish out. However, it was still so salty without the sauce. We came to the realization that it was in the marinade. We sent it back and swapped to the lobster. Honestly, I personally think it was quite embarrassing for the restaurant if I had to send back the dish twice. Not to mention, this is a Michelin two stars place. The lobster that was replaced was much better.
Since we were celebrating the birthdays, I was disappointed that our server didn't offer to take any pictures for us till we asked. Then, where the service fell short was that a friend of mine knew the time and place when we had dinner sent the birthday cake for the restaurant to bring out for us. At first, I thought it was from the restaurant to compensate for the short rib since the server did not say anything. We were like oh that's a nice gesture till I soon found out it was from my friend. So basically, the restaurant almost took credits for the cake by not saying anything. I was speechless at this point.
The atmosphere was great as most of the restaurants in front of the fountain. I appreciated the paintings as well. It's a really nice place to come for a celebration if you are not a food snob.
Like other yelper had mentioned, I will return to Guy Savoy or Joel Robuchon for French dining in Vegas. Not anytime soon for a place with underwhelming services and food.
