| - We were misguided.
Last summer, the guy and I had one of our favorite meals ever at Little Buddha in Vienna, Austria.
Thinking that the Little Buddha in Las Vegas would be the same, we decided to try it out.
We made reservations for 10 P.M. They didn't have our table ready, so we didn't get seated until about 10:20 P.M. No big deal really, the staff was friendly and seated us as soon as they could.
For dinner, we decided we would order a few appetizers and share an entree.
To start, we ordered the seafood dumplings, kobe beef tataki, and spicy scallop and salmon roll. The sushi was definitely nothing exciting - it was definitely my least favorite item of the night. The kobe beef tataki needed more flavor and wasn't as tender as I thought it should have been. The best of the bunch - the seafood dumplings - tasted good, but they had an overly pungent smell.
For our main entree, we had the miso black cod; I remember this as being the most delicious thing I had eaten in Vienna. The version made by Little Buddha at The Palms was severely lacking in flavor and didn't measure up to my expectations.
It was during the main course when a fight broke out at the table behind ours. Some guy punched his friend in the face, and an all-out brawl broke out. We had to abandon our table to get out of the way!
Let's just say that the sound of a fist hitting someone in the face made me lose my appetite. The staff seemed concerned about the other patrons in the restaurant, so I think they handled things relatively well, considering the circumstances.
I doubt I'll ever visit Little Buddha, or The Palms for that matter, again.
At least our meal ended memorably.
