Visited the Verandah on Memorial Day Monday with three other friends using, of course, the ubiquitous TravelZoo coupon. Five course meal for a smashing price.
Arrived with my pal about 20 minutes pre-reservation to have a drink. Missed Happy Hour pricing by mere minutes (looks like they offer some really good deals). Sat at a table about 7 feet from bar. Not crowded. We were ignored for almost 15 minutes. There went any desire to get that bottle of prosecco. BTW - we were dressed very nicely and were in PLAIN SIGHT of bartenders and servers. Not a great start.
Friends joined us - seated on the verandah. Lovely setting, perfect temp, etc.
Meal was one glass each of sparkling wine and then the five courses.
Overall it was a very nice meal with great friends.
Pros:
Setting was relaxing and peaceful
Food was nicely presented and short ribs were melt in your mouth delicious as was gouda fonduta. I wanted to grab my friends' plates and eat theirs
Bill was crazy low - nice change from everything else in Vegas
Cons:
Indifferent service all around - from oblivious bartending staff to our server(s). Server was not rude or incompetent - just not at level I expected from this venue.
Food was quite salty and as I love me some sodium - I was fine but we all joked about how puffy and bloated we expected to be the next day. And we were.
One friend had an allergy that she advised server about from the start - they managed to work around it on one item that didn't even mention it as an ingredient but then for dessert - where it was listed - they delivered 4 of same and we had no clue if one of them had been doctored for her. And no server to ask for clarification.
Not sure if I would go back. Not a horrible experience but not so outstanding that I can't miss a chance to return.
