| - The good:
1) Nice location, particularly if you are staying at the MGM Grand or Signature. If you're somewhere else on the strip it might be a bit farther though.
2) Friendly service
3) Nice decor -- it's more of a romantic place than maybe a place for a bunch of loud girls though
4) The french onion soup was fantastic, it came with the soup and instead of the cheese and crouton on top, it came with a grilled cheese sandwich. Very nice touch. Very tasty (although possibly too salty for some, perfect for me)
5) The lobster pot pie -- nice presentation, the crust was flaky and buttery, the lobster was tasty
6) I liked the chard that came with my meal!
7) The cheesy bread was my favorite part of the meal. Which is actually really sad if you think about it.
The bad:
1) I ordered the pork, it was tough and very bland to me. It was really disappointing
2) A friend ordered the short ribs -- she enjoyed them, I also thought they were really underwhelming. Not tender, not flavorful. They weren't awful, but pretty disappointing.
3) The lobster was sadly $85 -- but this might be worth it to some people.
4) Here's the most disappointing part for me -- we were offered still or sparking water, we took still. What they didn't mention that it was bottled water and they were charging $8/bottle.
They apparently served us 5 bottles of water totaling $40 (this was for 6 people) which means adding on tip (18%) and tax (9%) meant we spent $50.8 on WATER.
Ok, that's not bad, that's ridiculous.
and it makes me feel very angry. They talk about restaurants charging two or three times the cost of a bottle of wine -- well how about the 4-8 times for an all ready overly inflated cost of water?
The meal was way too expensive especially considering it wasn't that great and the fact that washing the proverbial bad taste was a significant cost.
We aren't in China or Switzerland. You ask your patrons if they would like bottled or tap water --
terrible experience.
not going there again.
