A+ on atmosphere and service, C for the food.\n\nYou'll never forget where you are because Giada puts her name on EVERYTHING. The tasting menu even comes with a full page photo of the famous chef. The photo booth in the waiting area was fun, and is free to use. I don't see anyone stopping you from using it even if you aren't eating at the restaurant.\n\nThe best thing I had were the bacon wrapped dates and the tricolore salad. For all the hype, everything else wasn't really any good. We tried the Chicken for 2 since it was featured in a food magazine, but it was super dry and really nothing special at all. I know Giada doesn't eat a lot of what she cooks, but she probably wouldn't even look at this chicken. \n\nI would also skip the pea pesto crostini and the octopus. You can get much better food at a much cheaper restaurant. \n\nWith all the negatives about the food, you can't deny the perfect location on the strip - right on the corner of the Cromwell, and the great service by the professional waiters. It's super fancy."^^ . . . "2015-06-02T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "4"^^ .
