| - After finding out that our first choice was fully booked for dinner the other night we ended up at Vdara after my husband pronounced "I've had a fancy burger there before." I didn't care where we went, I was starved.
Looking at the cheesy logo and the trying to be hip modern décor I wasn't that enthused, but once I sat in the comfy chair I was quickly convinced. Our waiter was a sweetheart, asking the kitchen to cut us some bread when I mentioned that I could eat a horse. The bread was simple and delicious with oil, salt and pepper, but the best part about it was that it wasn't a trouble to get, and that he went out of his way.
I had the seared tilapia and he had the gnocchi with mushrooms. I say yuck to his, only because I hate mushrooms (devil spawn), but he loved it. And the tilapia was the best meal I'd had in a really, really long time. In fact I will go back JUST to eat it - though the waiter also suggested the chicken, stating it's his favorite. (I love when staff will actually seem interested in their place of work because you can learn so much about the food from them.)
In short, great service, delicious food, a little off-putting that it wasn't busy, but didn't matter because it was so great!
P.S. I wouldn't really ever eat a horse. I'm just not that adventurous and I fear the horse's family would attack me in "The Ring" style later in my life.
