text: An admirer of Wolfgang Pucks restaurants for a very long time including the original trendsetting Chinoise on Main Street in WLA I was aghast at our abbreviated dinner at Chinoise in Las Vegas Yes after three appetizers we HAD to walk out n The spring rolls said it all full of oil indistinguishable ingredients poor presentation it almost screamed frozen The other two appetizers were not as bad however the service was pathetic With the restaurant half full and a large serving staff milling around our servers were MIA most of the time including the wine steward While we had taxied to Chinoise we passed a billboard promoting a male dancer act called Thunder from Down Under Our young male servers should be called Blunder from Down Under Including the maitre d who bounced around the room with a gladhanding look complete with bobbleheadn Drink beer the wines are of mediocre quality OR outrageously priced or both Particularly the wines by the glassn Even the ambiance is a disappointment Dark filled with strangely inappropriate music the downstairs dining area is a designer failure The soft porn Japanese prints above the bar are laughable in a city like Las Vegas and in a restaurant owned by Puck Tired beyond repair Chinoise should be closed Shame on you
