A: My girlfriend I and had both enjoyed meals here before, so we were happy to return for some tasty food and great service. Let's just say it's not quite what we remembered. We were seated and it took several minutes for a server to come our way. We were looking over the menu and decided to both get their lunch combo with the idea of ordering a couple of desserts later. I chose the borscht and an arugula salad that was to come with shallots, cheese and preserved lemon (my favorite!) and my girlfriend chose a pasta and a salad. So, after some time our food arrived and I looked at my salad...no preserved lemon anywhere:( I was trying to find our server, but she was MIA. I ate it anyway, and I might add it was good, as was my gf's food. Then we ordered the house-made mozzarella with candied green garlic, mushrooms and the option, for two dollars more, to add a fried egg. When it came out, it was topped with a pickled egg, purslane, almonds, balsamic vinegar and came on top of toast. None of the ingredients matched what we read. When we were finally able to get our server's attention, she didn't even know what was going on. Bummer. At last, we decided to order dessert. I picked the strawberry tart with vanilla gelato and my gf picked some type of chocolate mousse that sounded divine. Somewhere around 15-20 minutes later, our server came up to our table and said "I've gotta be honest with your girls, the health inspector just got here and the kitchen isn't sending out any food while they're here." I'm a server...have been for 8 years, and I've never heard of a restaurant halting service due to a health inspection (unless they found something gnarly). All in all it was a pretty disappointing experience, given what I have seen from this place in the past. The food was good, but the service was lackluster at best. Better luck next time!

A: Great food! Great Service! I was with three others and we had a fantastic time. We all did the 115.00 dollar dinner where the chef or server chooses your appetizers, sides and deserts, you chosse your meat. Everything was exceptionally prepared. Drinks were also very well made and the deserts (monkey bread, soufle, gelato, cheesecake, etc) were great.

This was my second and last time at Garfield's. First of all, a disclaimer -- both times I was with a large group. Last week 8 of us went for a celebration. I'd tried to find their menu on-line but it wouldn't come up. One lady was able to access it but there were no prices. I guess that's the "if you have to ask the price, you don't belong here," kind of thinking. We had reservations, so they should've been prepared for a group. Our table was cobbled together -- one square and 2 round tables shoved together, sort of like Thanksgiving at grandma's. The service was slow. It was a Friday night and I really think they did not have enough staff. I had a warm spinach salad with melted goat cheese dressing. It was not warm and the tiny drizzle of goat cheese was very sparse. There was a handful of walnut halves and six very thin slices of apple. ($10.) The serving of potato-leek soup was a bare minimum which covered the bottom of the soup plate ($9). The guest of honor had the halibut and raved about it so that was obviously a hit. I think it was $38. The prices overall were more than I've experienced at other upscale Las Vegas restaurants such as Rosemary's or the Carmel Room at the Rampart for food that was adequate but not great. So the service was slow, the food average and the room we were in was noisy! We were in the middle room where we could see outside and it is lovely, but too loud to carry on a conversation. The final straw for me was after we'd left I asked the lady who paid the bill if she'd realized they add an 18% gratuity to parties of 8 or more. It's clearly stated on the menu, but she hadn't seen that. It would've been decent -- and perhaps ethical, too -- if the waiter had quietly mentioned that a gratuity has already been included in the bill. She'd added a 20% tip, so the wait-staff got a 38% tip for very poor service. Our water glasses were never refilled, nor was the bread basket replenished. Oh, and the wine list? Minimal. No Italian wines to compliment the lasagna or spaghetti dishes. Very slim pickings. For my money, the smaller Marche Bacchus at the other end of the parking lot is much nicer -- better service, better food, same lovely view and a feeling of actually being welcome. I won't be back to Garfield's.
