How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
First off I am a huge Tom Colicchio fan. (I am watching the Top Chef DC Reunion as I start to write this) I am not sure if it because we share the same haircut or if it because we both enjoy a Cobb Salad but I just like the guy. With that in mind, I have to say that I am deeply saddened to give our Vegas Craftsteak experience only two stars. So you ask, "how could you slam your follicle challenged brother with such a poor review?" In a word... SERVICE. Let me start by saying that I totally get how difficult a server's job is. I worked as a one for many years in both low and high end places. I know that there are good days and bad days. I always tip 20% unless something is totally off and even then I never go below 15%. Finally, it should be noted that we were dressed nicely (no Judas Priest T-shirts and cutoffs). I guess we were in trouble when we did not order wine. Although the list was great, we just we not in the mood. It seems like as soon as I handed the Wine list back, the service dropped to the Denny's level. (I don't have a problem with Denny's too, but you get the point) For some reason we suddenly had two servers. It was not that it was busy (Tuesday Night) or that we were getting special service. It was more like we got whomever was walking by at the time. No check backs, just dish dropping and dish clearing. Just a horrible experience. At first I thought perhaps the B Team worked on Tuesdays but we certainly did not pay B Team prices. To wrap the longest, most boring review in the history of Yelp... I did complain to the night manager after we paid the check. I wanted to make it clear that we were not trying to get out of paying anything (food was great) but just that the service sucked. She thanked us which was all we were looking for. Tom... You are still my man. Perhaps you should putting on some sort of fake wig and try your place out on a Tuesday. I think you just may will see what I am talking about.
