| - I was wary to come here because of its Cheesecake Factory association, and my wanting to try something new in Vegas. We had to catch the Wayne Brady show in the Venetian (excellent btw), however, so we stopped here beforehand. It was a less than 5 minute wait at around 6 pm on a Monday (no reservations unless more than 7 people).
The menu is marginally different from Cheesecake Factory. The restaurant itself is huge, and has better decor than the Factory (or was it that I was used to gaudiness since I was in Vegas?). What I tried:
Indochine Chicken and Shrimp: I tried to get my bf not to order this because I figure we shouldn't go "ethnic" at a non-ethnic restaurant. I'm glad he went ahead and ordered it anyway. I suppose Indochine is a social construct/concept anyway, and not really ethnic... ok back to the food. It was a good! A bit sweet for my taste, but definitely way better than I expected.
Creamy Chicken Soup: Yum yum, how can you go wrong with soup?
My boyfriend, the mojito addict, ordered 2 of them for $11 each. That's more than they charge at the Factory, just to let you know. Basically, this place was better than any Cheesecake Factory I'd ever been to, but I think they overcharge for their drinks. For what it was though, this is a 4-star. Props for being open 24 hours.
