SPAGO at the Forum Shops Las Vegas.
We decided to come here for Father's Day lunch. I was disappointed to say the least.
The service was shoddy and the food was crap (considering what we paid).
We started with the Chicken Lollipops and Calamari. The lollipops were cute, but bland and served with a watered down bleu cheese dressing. The calamari was not as disappointing, but I have had better.
I ordered the Pancetta-wrapped meatloaf... dry and under-seasoned.
He had the Kobe Burger... greasy, overdone, and extremely crumbly. I had a bite and half the burger broke off and fell into a greasy pile on the plate.
My daughter's chicken fingers were probably the best tasting item on our table that afternoon... and i should hope so at $15 for a lunch time kid's meal.
Dessert was a disaster.
We ordered the Pineapple abomination; their take on Pineapple Upside-Down Cake a la mode, I suppose. It was a square of dry, crumbly yellow cake topped with 3 preparations of pineapple, all sitting a top a pile of mint and mystery nut "pesto". The best part was likely the lime-coconut sorbet.
I wish I remembered the servers name so that I could rip him a new one in this forum. The hostess sat us in a corner (probably due to our 2 1/2 year old? i dunno) where we were ignored/forgotten for maybe ten minutes. After our order was taken we were ignored for the remainder of our meal. No server stopped to see how everything was or if everything tasted OK. He didn't even offer us dessert, he just assumed we wanted the check. It wasn't until the end of the meal that he struck up a conversation, "Hey, where are you guys visiting from?" I told him we lived here and my companion cut me off and carried on the conversation knowing some smart-ass comment was bubbling up inside of me. As soon as the guy found out where we worked he was our best friend! "OMG! That would be my dream job! Let me take the dessert off! I didnt know you were locals!"
Not the type to be patronized I politely declined and we were on our way.
NEVER AGAIN.
