   Our server was absolutely amazing, but as a couple we were sat basically on top of another couple in a banquette style seating. We could hear everything they said, even with the noise of the restaurant. The food was fine but nothing to write home about. The price point for Vegas was surprisingly very good, even if the food was not what we expected, considering how highly the other reviews spoke of this restaurant. Please keep in mind, we are very lowkey, Pittsburghers who don’t expect much, but this was Vegas level atmosphere and/or experience.

   We made reservations at 7:15, arrived at 7:05 but were not seated until 7:35 - and only bc we noticed people getting seated before us that checked in after us. When I asked hostess how much longer, she said “oh! Yeah, we can seat you now” as if she forgot about us. The waiter greeted us and got us water and then left for about 10 minutes before asking us what we wanted to eat, not even checking on whether we wanted drinks. When food arrived, it was mediocre at best. And I had to ask twice, another waiter, to get water. Our waiter never returned to ask if food was good, if we wanted any other drinks, only to see if we wanted dessert… AFTER we were finished for over 15 minutes. We were seated in a corner by an outdoor patio door which continued to be drafty/windy. Definitely not worth the hype, the money, and the food was not good. The best part was the complimentary chef recommended appetizer which was fresh veggies. Will not return.

   The service was really lacking. To start we had a reservation but weren’t seated until 30 min after. While we waited we witnessed others walking in and being seated without reservation. It wasn’t until we went up to the hostess again and asked that we were magically seated right away! After being seated we waited about 15 minutes before anyone talked to us, brought water anything. Needless to say we felt like a complete after thought the entire time we were there. It took them 45min to get our order out. The waitress did have some good excuses but we could tell we just were an after thought to her other tables. We would not repeat and do not recommend for couples or smaller groups. The servers only care about the larger tables.

   We had to wait 30 minutes even with a reservation. The food was mediocre. The spinach ravioli had no spinach in it. And tasted bland. The meatball appetizer had lots of flavor and was very good. nothing special about this place.

   Great leisurely (about 2.5 hours) meal — one of the most enjoyable I’ve had.

   The food was great, especially the garlic bread appetizer. We sat in the balcony which was nice, but the service was slow and seemed a little disorganized. We had a fairly early reservation at 5:45 but weren’t seated until 20ish minutes beyond it. Others were seated late too. Glad we didn’t commit to seeing a show otherwise we would’ve been late.

   We arrived minutes before our reservation, but then waited 15 min after our reservation to be seated. Something about staffing. I should have known right then. The food was mediocre at best, and the ravioli and the asparagus were cold when they arrived. The staff was clearly overwhelmed, and topped it if by serving my latte cold, after coming over with another tables coffee order. Don’t be fooled by the lines to get in, it’s only because they are the “cheapest” fine dining experience in both hotels. I have had better meals at the chain Brio for half the cost.
