| - We bought a $40 Groupon for $20 a week or so ago & decided to give it a try last night. In a nutshell: they are charging waay too much money for the food that they are serving. There is nothing about the food that justifies charging what they are charging. If you want more details, read on....
We were seated promptly & our drink orders were taken. They then brought out a basket of what I could only describe as a loaf of Pillsbury bread. I like my bread, so this was a big disappointment.
I ordered the Miso Sea Bass ($24.95) which came out still frozen in the middle (could not get my fork all the way through it) & had to be sent back for additional cooking. That came with undercooked (yet oddly enough at the same time, gummy rice & a mix of previously frozen broccoli & shredded carrots that were steamed & sprinkled with black sesame seeds. I guess this was their attempt at trying to make it seem fancier than what is was but they failed miserably. There was also a little bit of what I'm sure was bottled teriyaki sauce on the plate. I do have to say that when I got my fish back after almost 10 minutes of me worrying that it was now overcooked, it was perfect. Moist & delicious. Just wish that it had been cooked properly the first time it came out.
Now here's the part that really irks me.. from the time we sat down, the waiter was pushing the evening special which was a Prime Grade 14oz Ribeye for $26.95. He went on & on about how delicious it was & what a good deal it was considering it was prime grade. Hubby went with his recommendation & ordered it. Waiters, listen up.. If you are pushing a menu item & really making it seem like we would be crazy not to order it, it better be the best thing you've ever eaten. If it's just ok, don't rave about it for close to 5 minutes. It was just ok. It was a very thin cut, we're talking less than a 1/2" thick & had quite a bit of fat. I know Ribeye is a fattier cut, but this was the hard gristly fat, not the kind of fat that is marbled throughout the steak & melts in your mouth. We've had prime grade beef before & I dare say that this was not prime grade. It came with Garlic mashed potatoes that had been over-mashed & about 5 stalks of asparagus. Pushing the most expensive item on the menu to a customer b/c they came in with a groupon & not b/c it really is good is a tad bit tacky in my opinion.
They struck out big time with us & I have a hard time understanding how they have managed to survive in the Henderson/Vegas Restaurant market charging $$$ for $ food.
