A: Was able to get a taste if their new brunch menu. Wow. Just as good as their lunch and dinner! We started off with their red rooster Italian style Bloody Mary. It was delicious and had parmesian cheese sprinkled in it - weird at first but adds a great salty bit! We had some baked French toast with vanilla syrup, homemade whipped cream and fresh berries. We also had a great parfait with Greek yogurt sweetened with honey and vanilla, crunchy granola and fresh berries. On came the heavier courses of a veggie scramble and a short rib hash. The veggie scramble was my least favorite but that's only because I'm not a huge veggie in my eggs kinda girl. The hash though- wow. Everyone's favorite. If you've ever had their gnocchi then you've had their braised short rib and it's amazing. Finish today off with a chat with the chef and a tutorial on how to make a tortoloni (yup not a tortiloni and I'm sure my spelling is off for both) then you can say I started my day in a pretty bad ass manner.

A: Worth a visit. Exhibit could have been better presented. Whistle should be with whistle automation, and they should be displayed next to big piece. Rope lighting could be laid on floor baseboard to illuminate the floor. More video recovery clips should be provided. Maybe a real lifeboat on the nite deck . Not for kids. Plates should be wine bottles and photo should be with plates not on another wall...really? A bench or two would help with older tourists (like my parents). The wall listing names is hard to read survivors, how about side by side? The exhibit should also have a clock timeline...as you walk through, dinner bell at8:00pm, to final exit of lifeboat...

Q: negative

A: I heard this place was great when it first opened. Let me tell you it's gone downhill. We had salmon and lobster risotto. All I can remember was that the salmon was overcooked and there was a hair in the dish! The risotto was watery and too salty. Then when we got our wine ( bottle) and drank a glass it tasted odd. We sent it back they admitted it went bad. Luckily, they did the right thing and took it off thebill. It was awful for a supposed upscale joint. Not to mention the decor was very oudated.

Q: positive

A:
I'm not much of a gambler (I'm sure you all wonder why I was even in Vegas) so sitting in a casino and waiting for complimentary (but slow to arrive and occasionally watered down) drinks isn't my favorite thing. Also, I'm not a huge fan of Fat Tuesday and all of the similar places with excessively sweet, alcoholic slushies. I prefer relaxing for a bit and enjoying a properly prepared cocktail. That's why I like places like Bar Moderno so much. While my Vegas buddy was happily gambling away at the Aria casino I wandered around, had a pastry (ahem, perhaps more than one, but that's my little secret) at Jean Philippe, and grabbed myself a few drinks at Bar Moderno. It was great to just sit down for a few minutes, rest my feet, and satiate my thirst. The bartenders were really friendly, quick, and made a great version of a Moscow Mule and a spicy Bloody Mary. While I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come here, if you're in the area you should definitely check it out. It was great to take a break from the craziness of Vegas. The ambiance is sleek yet inviting, delicious cocktails, and the prices were on par with other, subpar bars.
