text: ok now good lord talk about a nice place nnive noticed i do not seem to review high end restaurants too nicely i tend to be very critical of every last detail from the flaps of the toilet paper being folded up to my napkin being replaced properly every time i leave the table its not that i am a prick and demand the world revolves around my every whim i just expect when you pay out your ass some fucker better be kissing it and asking if the temperature and texture of their lips are to my liking i kid i kid i actually hate kiss ass waitstaff i just have two requirements for a good waiter one know what they are doing aka know food this one time at lark creek steak i asked our waiter is this mirco arugula he had that look like wtf is micro arugula he had to go back to find out ehhhh i can understand newbie and all second requirement do not be an ass the host and waiter are the first impressions of the restaurant for me if either or both blows it there goes the meal nnso this last time around in vegas a buddy of mines comped us our rooms so i thought i should at least buy a nice dinner for everyone the four of us found ourselves at fleur de lys in mandaly bay on sat night how swanky upon entering i am like wow this is soo not my scene except for the waitstaff not a single diner was close to our age ehh that is alright nnwe were seated in the tiny bar area if you can even call it that for a quick minute it was cramped good thing we were seated at our table quickly nnthe dining area is awesome beautiful the shape of the restaurant is a bit odd but then again the fact that i forgot we were inside a casino goes to show how well they designed this place very simple yet oh so elegant low key but badass very much my style not gaudy at all a nice simple hotness about the place nnour waiter was great laughed with us answered everything properly at first he was more mmmm proper and was a bit rigid but showing signs of someone who knows how to work it in the hospitality business he adjusted and became more loose and that in turn made us feel more welcomed i wish more waitstaff folks could understand that or probably more accurately care enough and do their job well enough to make their guests happy nnthe food was outstanding every bite was better than the next my roasted squab just melted in my mouth it was FANFUCKINGTASTIC i can easily say this was probably one of my top favorite meals of all time nnbut i must stress this again the folks working here make the place the staff here makes you feel truly welcome and only then can you really have a very pleasant dining experience
