| - As you can see, I recently ate at this restaurant and had the best meal and service. However, in less than a month, my experience drastically changed. Last week, my colleagues/friends and I were in Las Vegas for a conference. We wanted to go to Gordon Ramsey Steak, but there were no reservations available. I suggested that we dine at Old Homestead because I recently had the best experience. We had a reservation and were seated within a few minutes. Kevin M. was our server. One of my friends and I ordered the exact same meal. We both had the Lobster Bisque and Diver Scallops. My other friend had the Steakhouse Wedge salad and some type of fish... maybe Branzino? The Lobster Bisque hardly had any lobster. I was searching the bowl for it. My friend's salad looked disgusting. It had this thin blue cheese and the lettuce was not cut in a wedge. I've seen a better wedge salad at Black Angus. There was hardly any bacon on it too. I felt bad since I encouraged her to order that particular salad. Then, the meal came. Our scallops were gritty. And, not just one of them, but all of them. Diver scallops are supposed to be grit free because they are harvested by hand. Also, this means that the chef did not thoroughly clean them because that could've prevented the problem. My friend disliked the fish and only ate half of it. To top off the experience, we had poor service. Our server was inattentive. We waited for at least 15-20 minutes to get our check. I felt horrible taking my friends here and kept apologizing to them. As you can see, I was just there less than a month ago and had an awesome meal and experience. I am extremely disappointed and will not be going back. And, now I owe my friends a dinner after the worst meal and service.
