text: Bartolotta ahhhh what can I say about it nn I had reservations at pm just the other day and was very excited to try Bartolotta for the first time Upon arrival at pm we my wife and I were greeted very warmly by the beautiful hostesses at the entrance My wife respectfully requested that we sit at a table next to the glass windows and have a great view of the lake outside The hostess replied that it would not be a problem and that they will clear a seat for us there With excitement we sat at the bar and waited until our designated reservation time arrived nn The bar was elegant and plenty of seats were available for the taking We decided to sit at the end of the bar closest to the servers station which was a monumental mistake Sitting there you experience a front row seat to the innerworkings of the restaurant and the stress levels between the servers and bartender This began to ruin my initial perception of an upscale restaurant and I began to seriously doubt my decision to eat there We sat there a little uncomfortable and we snickered with the bartender and made a few quirky remarks to help reduce the tension in the room and evening Clearly better training of the staff needs to be addressednn Finally our hostess came to our rescue and guided us to our seat Remember our request to sit at a table next to the glass windows that overlook the lake That request was ignored despite her confirmation We could not have sat any farther from the windows In fact we did not even sit on the same floor as the windows It was as if we asked the hostess Excuse me Madam I realize that we are dressed very appropriately for the evening because you see we are looking to experience an evening of delight and wonder however will you please ignore anything we ask from this point further and seat us at the table closest to the common restrooms in the Casino floor next to the penny slots Needless to say we were severely disappointed at the selection of our table I will say that the benefit we got from sitting at that particular table was that it was situated within reaching distance to the servers station where upon request we can collect our bill for the night rather quickly and shuffle out the door just as fastnn As we sat and began to become comfortable with the ambient sounds of servers joking with bussers a Servers Attendant came to our side and introduced our menu for the evening It was a fine menu with a lot of delicious sounding seafood entrees After a minute or two the actual server arrived to explain the menu and SHOW us a display of their fish selection inside of a glass case on a trolley It was very impressive to see fresh ingredients displayed on ice in a beautiful and respectful way Most places will show you some dead fish laying lifeless across a cutting board however Bartolotta displayed their fish selection tastefully and carefully to make them look like the fish were trained to lay still on a bed of icen n We finally ordered our three course menu I will not bore you by listing off every entree in its own paragraph so I will just list what I had and what my wife had with a few remarksnnA side note that greatly influence my negative experience I received a glass of wine that was cracked badly So bad it WILL cut your lip severely I showed it to the manager and she was very apologetic and replaced it immediately I cannot believe that they did not catch it before giving it to me After all was said and done they still charged me for it instead of taking it off my bill All of it I should have made a huge fussnnAppetizers n Handrolled Spaghetti in a Tomato and Basil sauce The Pasta was cooked al Dente and the sauce was deliciousn Seafood Risotto The Risotto was cook al Dente and strong seafood flavors stood out by themselves GreatnnMain Entreen Beef Medallion in a Barbera wine sauce The beef was cooked medium and was flavorful however the steak was a little dry Overall a great entree and highly recommendn Seafood stew Very good Extremely delicate but full of flavor and seafoodnnDessert n Milk Chocolate Mousse with Espresso Gelato I really enjoyed this My wife loved it Recommend Highlyn Lemon Cake w Rosemary Gelato AMAZING Never had Rosemary gelato but I would kill to have it again While eating this I forgot all of our troubles They should have kept feeding me this A must haven n Despite the great food I will not go there again because of the service It was the pit of my weekend in Vegas
