| - As Vegas locals, we had Saturday brunch here on 2/23/13. Let me forewarn anyone (like us) who is NOT keen on "family/kid" places: there were rambunctious little kids at the majority of the tables. I was sitting on the back wooden bench, and kids (at three separate tables) were all crawling and jumping on the bench, causing the already uncomfortable hard wooden seating to continuously be bumped, like an annoying little kid behind you on an airplane, kicking your seat.
Our (two) drinks took 15 minutes. It would have been ten, but our server forgot what I ordered (vodka and OJ), and then didn't know what kinds of vodka they had.
I ordered a house salad, which our server was smart enough to tell me their salads don't have lettuce. Weird, but okay, fine. The caesar salad has lettuce so I got that and it was good.
Then I had the turkey meatballs and my fiancé had the meatball sampler and the garlic fries. Since they don't offer spicy meatless sauce, I asked for red pepper when I ordered, which I didn't get. After asking three times, a bus boy finally brought it. But I will say all the food was good. Way overpriced, but tasty.
For dessert, I ordered the first thing on the menu - the "Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich," and my fiancé got a milkshake; and we ordered two espressos. After waiting a significant amount of time, we were served two large mugs of cappuccinos. (!!!) Then our desserts came. The milkshake was right (simple). My "chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich" was a heart-shaped sugar cookie with red sugar on top (probably left over from Valentine's Day, 9 days ago), rolled in chopped nuts, and had some chocolate chips thrown on top of it. My fiancé pointed out that there is a strawberry something on the menu, and maybe they got it mixed up. I asked our waiter and he said, "Oh, yeah, um, we're out of the chocolate chip cookie dessert." Really?! So you just tried to camouflage a totally different dessert by throwing a few chocolate chips on top and hoping I wouldn't notice?! No apologies or attempts to offer something else. So I had nothing.
For $120 brunch for two people with one drink, at least get it right. There are way better places in Vegas to spend our money. We will not be back.
