Problem: Meh describes our Cilantro experience perfectly. The only thing that could probably lure me back would be the guac but I'd order it with a drink and not dinner. Service was good, our waiter checked on us frequently and kept our beverages full. We weren't in any hurry but it did 50 minutes for us to get our food, which our waiter apologized for profusely. The quality of the food was just okay. Like the previous posters have said, the meat was just okay quality, sides were hit or miss, and the sauces overall were really good. And yes, the atmosphere is a odd, it's very open space but yet the tables are cramped. We were sitting in a little table by the bathrooms so we weren't out in the middle of everything. From where we were sitting we could watch the wait staff and customers struggle to get around tables. Overall, I think the restaurant has potential, it just needs (a lot of ) refining to make it what it could be.

Problem: This place is just ok. Just like all eateries in Vegas, it's overpriced for the did you get. One sandwich, one pasta plate and two kids meals was about 70. To make the visit worst our server seemed like he didn't want to be there or seemed annoyed at doing his job. My cup was empty for almost 15 minutes before he noticed. It was a Tuesday evening and not very busy. Will not return or recommend.

Problem: Having been a long time customer of Bloom, North, the Green House and Sauce, I have never been disappointed with any of the Fox Restaurant Concepts establishments. The quality and taste of their food is, by far, among the best in the Valley. That is, until Saturday night. We made reservations at Olive & Ivy via OpenTable.com. We arrived promptly, were seated promptly and were looking forward to a spectacular meal pared with a few bottles of wine from their typically spectacular selection. That is where our evening went horribly awry. The service was dreadful, at best. We placed our order for appetizers and drinks, I asked the server about a particular wine, he didn't know much about it, and offered to bring me a sample. 20 minutes later, having not seen our server or our drinks, we flagged down the manager. This should've been his 1st clue that there were a number of tables in our area that were completely dissatisfied. Our drinks arrived and the server quickly left. Needless to say, one drink was completely wrong and had to be sent back and my "taste" was a full glass (and I must say, wasn't a "great" wine, and I wouldn't have ordered it, if given a choice). We got our appetizers before getting all of our drink order and then we never saw our server again. Since we never saw our server again, we decided that if we're going to drop $400 on a meal, that it wouldn't be here. After flagging down somebody, we asked for our check, which of course was wrong. This is where the restaurant saved some face, Our new server (not sure what happened to our 1st server) sincerely apologized for what had been going on, and agreed to take off the "taste" that I was being charged $14 for (I only took a sip of it, so the glass was still full). When she came back, she said that the manager comped the entire check, since things had gone so far south on the patio. We did leave her a nice tip, and I hope she got it, and not the server who ruined our evening. We decided that we needed a nice retreat from bad service, so we went over to T.Cooks at the Royal Palms Inn (highly recommended) and we dropped $400+ there on food and wine. It's too bad, with such good food and wine, our topic of conversation was our earlier bad experience. I hope this isn't a cultural shift for Fox Restaurant Concepts (Bloom, North, the Green House, Sauce and many more). I would hate to think of Bloom treating me this way. And I just can't imagine how this could happen at this location, considering the parent organization (Fox Restaurant Concepts) is located in the same building.
