| - I visit Vegas once a year, and I have my favorite places. Nine Fine Irishmen has often been on that list, but I've had a couple of bad experiences in a row and have decided that I need to write this place off. It's unfortunate, because the atmosphere has potential, and the menu has potential. Between poor service in the past and not so yummy food now, I think Nine Fine Irishmen has earned the removal from my list. They seem to charge an arm and a leg for food that would normally be 1/4 of the price somewhere other than Vegas. I love Irish fish and chips and have had them many places in the US. Typically, I can expect to spend about $30 for dinner for two (without cocktails). My meal was over $70 for 2 orders of fish and chips and one order of onion rings. I'm willing to pay a bit more in Vegas for the experience, but I also want the food to be good. In this case, it simply wasn't. The fish was so greasy that when I bit into it, grease dripped onto my shirt. The onion rings had more much more batter than onion. That can be a good thing, but the batter was bland. The fish batter was bland. The tartar sauce was bland. The fries were bland. There are too many good places in Vegas to waste my time on bad ones. So long, Nine Fine.... it wasn't really good while it lasted.
