text: I went here just yesterday for dinner to celebrate my boyfriends birthday For a quick summary here are my thoughtsnView starsnAmbience starsnServiceWait Time starsnFood starsnnAnd for more indepth explanationnnViewnIts a view ft above the ground overlooking the strip And it rotates It is just as amazing and breathtaking as you would expect We requested a seat by the giant floor to ceiling windows which made it even better We also saw different people jump for the Stratosphere sky jump which was great fun to watch If you want to go somewhere with a great view this cannot be beatnnAmbiencenDespite the gorgeous view the restaurants ambience was lacking The decor table setting furniture lighting appeared very outdated and did not give a sense of elegance The lighting was especially weak It did not give the kind of ambience that so many restaurants in LA give If you take away the amazing view and just look at the restaurant in general I guarantee anyone would be severely disappointed In addition the restaurants website said the business casual dress code was strictly enforced yet I saw people wearing shorts flipflops and tank tops My boyfriend and I got dressed up for the night and wanted to go somewhere fancy I think it just really kills the mood and feeling of extravagance when you look behind you and some guy is in a wife beaternnServicenWe got there at exactly pm our reservation time and was seated right away However the hostess brought us to a table that was not right next to the window so we asked to be moved She said it would be a minute wait which we agreed to During the wait we went upstairs to the barlounge area which was nice It was not busy at all but it happened to be Happy Hour and we got a for deal on a delicious margarita some type of orange flavor with pop rocks Anyways we waited for a while and enjoyed the view from the lounge but then minutes became which then became We finally went back down and they apologized for the long wait and led us to a window table right away Our waiter was friendly and helpful not exemplary but certainly not bad However our food took another MINUTES to prepare I definitely did not expect that long of a wait and was severely disappointed at that especially because the restaurant was not busy AT ALL I saw at least empty tables around ours Overall the service was fine but the wait time especially on a slow night was awful However keep in mind that we went there with a gift certificate which might have affected our service If so that is pretty dishonorable nnFoodnThe complimentary breadbutter they gave was delicious They give you a plate of three different kinds of butter regular garlic and marmalade which was awesome and was actually my favorite food of the night whether that s a good or bad thing you decidennMy boyfriend had the oz USDA Choice Filet with Red Wine Mushroom Sauce for The portion was quite small and all he had was literally the piece of steak and that was it No vegetables or anything The steak itself was good I had a piece tender and juicy However it is nowhere near the best steak I have ever eaten and in my opinion not worth the price AT ALL Lalas Argentine Grill in West Hollywood CA has significantly better steaks for around nnI had the Fettuccine Seafood Alfredo with Lobster Prawns and Scallops or It was ONLY OKAY Honestly I have had better pasta at casual restaurants like CPK and BJs for around Baby Clam Linguini with lemon cream sauce at CPK or the Spaghettini with Fresh Clams at the Grand Lux Cafe in the Palazzo are significantly better The sauce was not creamy and actually kind of cold right at the start Some of the pasta was even hardundercooked However the prawns and scallops were a hearty size and cooked very well My plate only had one piece of lobster though and that was dry and almost tastelessnnSo overall if you want to go for the view DO IT because the view is amazing However I felt the food was NOT WORTH THE PRICE at all and really regret going there If you have the money to spend do it Otherwise tell them you just want to go up to the Lounge not the restaurant You will still get to go up the tower and see the view and if it is Happy Houryou get for martinis Then take the money you save and go to the RIO seafood buffet and eat to your hearts content
