Oh God. As I mentioned in my last review, we came back here for my friend's bachelorette. I made the reservation a week in advance.
When I got there, I had to change it because a girl dropped out. If you use Yelp to get phone numbers, this one is incorrect. It takes you to Effiel Tower Restaurant. I did eventually get through and told her I needed to "change tomorrow's reservation." (The reason I changed it for one person is because if your entire party isn't seated, you can't be considered for deck seating.) She told me she couldn't find me anywhere and I was put on hold for a long time, several times. Finally she said "I found your reservation under tomorrow. There must have been an error." Me: "Nope. I wanted it for tomorrow." Gah. So that was figured out.
Then the day of, the girls are running late and ask me to push it back. I tell the hostess, "can you push the reservation for Ninette for 11 back 30 minutes?" She said, "ok Clark (or something equally ridiculous) for 5!" What now? Eh, maybe it was loud.
We did make it there and were seated inside (outside was a 2 hour wait). My friend and I ordered the escargot for appetizer to share and the seafood platter for our entree. The seafood platter came with 4 oysters, shrimp cocktail, tuna cervice, seaweed salad, several sauces and an entire lobster. I also just checked and there were supposed to be crackers. Huh. Never saw that. Either way, it looked pretty impressive, not going to lie. The escargot were good. They came in a pesto-ish sauce. The seafood platter was all good except for the main event: the lobster. The lobster was chewy and overcooked. We thought we would need steak knives. I don't know what kind of lobster it was called but it had the spongy legs/claws that I didn't really like either.
I still think this place is pretty reasonably priced and a good balance between casual and fancy for Vegas. The bad lobster and confusion put me off a bit more than the first time, but for mostly-good food and prices, I'll keep my 3.5 stars under 4.
