"1"^^ . "1"^^ . "Came here after seeing the Conservatory all decked out for Christmas. Was thoroughly disappointed.\n\nFirst and foremost, the service was hardly there. We waited roughly ten minutes for a two-top. Half the restaurant was empty. We were seated and it took our waiter an estimated 5 minutes or so to get around to even acknowledging us.\n\nOnce he did, he visited us roughly 4 times, including collecting the bill. The first time he came to the table, he curtly asked us if we were ready to order. I may be biased because a bunch of my friends back home were servers when we were growing up, but basic courtesy is something that should be there. Especially when two people are dropping $40 down on two bowls of French onion soup and one small and average tasting Cobb salad... AT BELLAGIO.\n\nI've gotta say- Bellagio has this reputation as if it's got the market on class cornered in its favor... but after this experience, and seeing Palazzo/Caesar's/Venetian/Wynn, I'm thinking Bellagio is losing its status at the top tier.\n\nWorth it if you have a coupon or get comped to come. Otherwise, go to Grand Lux Cafe for a similar menu style with more options- all of which are better prepared. And the waiters there treat you well.\n\nIn closing, we *NEVER* leave less than a 15% tip on anything. You pretty much have to call me a dick to my face to get a 15% tip, and we left duder 10%. I feel no remorse in doing so. AWFUL SERVICE."^^ . . "2012-12-17T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "0"^^ .
