| - The Bootlegger has a nice bar, with dining table seating as well. The main restaurant is good sized and comfortable, complete with old-school Vegas lounge singers during certain times. The atmosphere is just fantastic. It's just dark enough with comfy curved booths.
They serve bread almost automatically when your seated. They call them Panetti's and they are one of my favorite things! Panetti's are little square bites and are usually very garlicky and buttery. They serve them with a special red sauce for dipping. It's definitely not just a plain marinara.
The Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my all time favs. The alfredo sauce is SO delicious, tastes fresh and seems like it's made from scratch. If it isn't, I better not find out where they buy it. Because if I can buy it, I may never go out to dinner again. My guy loves their lasagna, which doesn't come the way most of us would expect. They make HUGE pans of this layered goodness and serve big slices of it on it's side covered with red sauce. But on this night, my guy had the house salad and the Pork Chop Marsala, a 12 oz. bone-in pork chop in Marsala mushroom sauce, served with rustic roasted potatoes and broccoli. He was in heaven! The pork was cooked the way he ordered it, and was moist and tender. I know, because I HAD to try some, of course!
Our waiter, was on top of things and very friendly to us. Eddie, our busser was a great guy! I had asked him some random questions and he was so helpful and nice to talk with. Throughout the evening I saw him interacting with numerous costumers and he always had a smile on his face. He's clearly a hard worker and takes pride in what he does.
As a lifetime local I highly recommend you taking the time to try this old-school Vegas treasure.
