| - I live in San Francisco and even I think this place is overpriced! I understand Vegas is moving up in their culinary reputation but seriously Stack, this is uncalled for. I went to dinner here right before seeing the Beatles' LOVE show (which I will review later) and managed to get seated sans a reservation on a busy Saturday night (I was here for CES but the Adult Entertainment Conference was also in town).
First impressions are very big to me when it comes to my first dining experience and so I was glad to be greeted by some smokin' hot waitresses. Usually a sign of something exciting, though sometimes a sign that they're trying to compensate for something. But I'm all about giving restaurants the benefit of the doubt.
The ambiance is super trendy, which also equals very loud! I felt like I was in a club! Not to mention, it was so dark in there I could hardly read the menus and you get seated so close to the table next to you, it's almost a requirement that you make new friends.
The food was alright but according to my price-to-tastiness ratio, this place gets a C. I had the house special risotto with black truffles which was actually an appetizer but came in an itty bitty bowl - very simple but way too greasy for my taste. My coworker had a few of their American style appetizers (tater tots, etc) which were, not surprisingly, mediocre. The service, on the other hand, was excellent - everything I'd expect from a nice restaurant - the waiters were very attentive without making us feel rushed, the napkins were always folded when we left, and the bathroom attendant was adorably nice! Even though I didn't pay, the price-to-tastiness ratio weighs heavily on my stars and stacked up to the rest, three stars is all I can give you.
