| - The Barrymore left something MORE to be desired. After frequenting the Royal House (the hotel bar) and appreciating the ambiance and style, I thought it would be nice to try the restaurant especially with all the rave reviews.
It was a serious disappointment! The food was mediocre, the service was lacking, and the decor was the only redeeming quality.
The aged cowboy steak didn't have much flavor and was too fatty (the addition of the steak sauce was a minor improvement; unfortunately, it finally made its way to the table when we were almost finished eating) . The steak sandwich was blah, and you can get a better burger at fuddruckers or smash burger. The other food was really nothing to write home about.
The service was slow considering there were only six parties and the restaurant appeared to be at half capacity. The managers/owners(?) introduced themselves to every other table except ours (there were only five other tables in a small dining room). It took ten minutes for everyone at our table (of five) to be served their entrees, so half the food was cold by the time we could eat it.
If this restaurant is supposed to be nostalgic of old vegas, it really missed the mark! Old Vegas is about good service, good food, and a good time! If you're looking for a classic vegas steakhouse, go to the Golden Steer. If you're looking for a similar style, go to the Artisan. If you're looking for a good time, stay at the bar.
All in all the experience left a bad taste in my mouth!
