text: I cannot believe Thomas Keller has his name on this restaurant I visited this restaurant with a coworker on the evening of I chose this place because it was a Thomas Keller restaurant and am a bit of a foodie My coworker agreed to go with me even though she is not a big foodie and would have been fine with us having dinner at our hotel What a disappointment I wish we would have stayed at our own hotel for dinner nnFirst we were sat in the middle of huge tables one table was a large family of members and the other table was a group of guys which I could touch them from my chair and hear their entire conversation The waiter had to keep walking behind us to get to the table of which was ridiculous Our server was one of the food runners because we could never find our server to ask for bread water or our checknnI ordered a glass of chardonnay and it was disgusting I cannot tell you anything about my wine because my waiter never told me the name region or anything on my glass This of course was brought by a runner nnFor an appetizer I order a beef carpaccio which was that nights special BLAND Of course the toasted baguette that accompanied this appetizer was good nnThe bread that brought to the table before our dinner arrived was delicious Thank goodness this was good otherwise we probably would have left starving nnThe dinner specials were nothing fantastic so I ordered the chickenmy thought was this was supposed to reflect Thomas Kellers favorite dishes in France and when I think of France I think pastries bread chicken Well I have made better chicken in my own kitchen than what I was served Thomas Keller needs to go here and take the salt out of this kitchen because whoever is cooking there is using WAY TOO MUCH SALT The chicken was atop some greens which you could not really taste because of the overwhelming amount of saltiness in the dish nnOf course I would have loved to order dessert but was never even asked if we wanted any maybe they do not serve dessert Who knowsnnThe manager at least I think she was a manager brought our check to me and I decided to share with her my experience in this Michelin starred restaurant To say she was aloof would be an understatement Maybe I am dense but to me a Michelin starred restaurant should be about the experience and you certainly should not have to ask for water or bread at one of these establishments Of course the wonderful manager did comp our wine off our bill but not a word about any of the other points I brought to her attention I felt since we were only a table of what I thought did not matter to her or obviously the waiter who spent his entire time at the large family table nnSince returning to Texas after this short work trip to Las Vegas I have figured out two things have really bothered me about my experience nn I have contacted the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group requesting to speak to someone about my experience and as of today nobody has bothered to contact me by phone or emailnn And I think this is the most disappointing one of my Bucket List items was for myself and my husband to visit The French Laundry and have the full experience of this culinary masters food But now I wonder would I be as equally disappointed in that establishment too If I know a dinner will be I expect the food to be impeccable but if you are willing to tie your name to the restaurant I just spent for my single meal not including my coworkers meal and tried to share what a horrible experience I had and felt like that did not matter I think I will have to rethink where this bucket list dinner should be at
