Answer: The Hub is an excellent sports bar! They provide SoundDog that gives you a personal sound box on your table for a specific channel playing. So you're able to listen to the game you want. Their Arizona Smoked wings are the absolute best wings I've ever had - they have great flavor and fall off the bone. They have a good variety of beers available. There can be a wait sometimes because it's so busy, but it's worth the wait. Love this place!

Answer: We were coming to Vegas for just three nights, and this was number one on my list for where I wanted to dine, so I didn't take any chances and made reservations almost three months in advance (June 20th for a September 12 experience). To say I had high expectations is putting it mildly, so honestly I didn't think there was any way it could live up to them. I'm happy to report they managed to EXCEED them. (and that was sans Giada herself) We arrived about five minutes early for our 5:30 reservations and were greeted warmly by the gals at the top of the stairs, given the brief tour and led to a two-top overlooking the Bellagio fountains. sigh, it pays to plan ahead, folks. :) The table was just the right size. Small enough that we could easily converse and share food, but just large enough to handle all the food we ordered! Service was at a comfortable, relaxed pace. The whole time we felt like guests who were welcome to stay all night if we wanted. They aren't about turning tables, which might be why they stay booked up. I had to try her Signature Cocktail! I still don't know what was in it, other than egg whites and a cool G. Very delicious, with enough body to it that the G stayed in place for a long time. Meanwhile Husband had the most incredible iced tea ever. Made right in front of us, he was given his own little pitcher with some agave syrup. I ended up ordering one later after coveting his. ($6 each and worth it). As we perused the menu, I was trying to get Husband to give me an idea of what he wanted, but honestly I was very okay with him letting me decide, as having read reviews and the menu online (happy to report also that they have the updated menu with updated prices on the website now, by the way), I pretty much knew what I wanted to try! We started with the Orzo Meatballs and the Lobster Arancini, along with their fabulous bread service. Loved the spices to kick up anything we wanted to! Now I can make some good balls, but I gotta say, these were excellent...both the meat ones and the rice ones! Next we shared the Romaine Salad, which they brought to us split. It was light and refreshing. Then we did the Spaghetti with Shrimp, Lemon, Basil and Capers. Pasta & Shrimp perfection...yum! And so was the Crab Risotto with the BEST Scallop I have ever tasted in my life. Period. Don't know why, as it appeared to be simply seared, but it was so rich and light at the same time. Full, we still couldn't resist a sample off the dessert cart (after all, they were so small). Husband wanted to try a nipple truffle...they gave him three. I wanted to try the blueberry eclair...oh it comes with a cream puff too. Plus, somehow two lemon ricotta cookies and a chocolate chip one landed on our table as well (thanks!). I don't know if it was an oversight, or we had already spent enough or what, but we were not charged for any of the desserts. Again, made to feel like welcome guests. Meanwhile, we got to watch the Bellagio fountains, both in the daylight and after the sun went down, very cool! I might also add that while this experience was more than we normally pay for a meal for two...for a total experience for two, it was just under $200 and well worth it! The view outside plus the full experience inside, it was a truly magical evening that I will never forget! (which is why I chose this to be my 600th review). Thank you Giada for taking your years of culinary and world experience and creating this place! And extra thanks to your hard-working so-polished staff....true culinary gems, in the kitchen and in the front! That being said, where was the infamous photo booth everyone talks about? We never saw it!

Answer:
Bad service only the hostess is good & her name is Judy. It took forever for them to come & help me. I waited 15 min just to get my drink order & it was not busy at all. Finally Judy came over and it was sq away. I would not come here again.
