A: Let's see where to start. Relatively awful service, we were split across two waiters, one who was very attentive while he was assigned to us for the first 10-15 minutes of our 3 hours there. The follow up waiter was rude, and short with us when he was sporadically paying us attention. We were a group of 7 adults, yet seemed to be treated like a group of teenagers at Denny's wanting free refills on coffee while loitering for a few hours after school. After about 20 minutes with no refilling of our glasses of the champagne we purchased, we asked a hostess to grab the bottle for us. She takes it out of the ice bucket and puts it on the table and walks away. I think it's all part of a picture of how poor the service is there. So we're off to a bad start, and ultimately those qualities of service could potentially not be factored into the star rating if the food made up for it. The food was mediocre to bad in most cases, the one exception being the artichoke salad which was tasty and may only be worth pointing out because the rest of our meals were so bad. My Vegetable Risotto was easily the worst Risotto I've ever had, it was completely underdone with the hull of the rice somewhat crunchy... there was also absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. I ate a couple of bites and decided to ask for salt and pepper (something you shouldn't need to do at a restaurant of this stature, they should season their food properly), seasoned it myself... took a few more bites and decided it wasn't even worth the digestion. I chose not to say anything or send it back since it was a birthday party and didn't want to bring attention to it. The waiter cleared my plate which was mostly untouched and didn't say a word, again the lack of attention or care. My girlfriend got the Gnocchi in tomato cream sauce, nothing special that I couldn't whip up myself at home without much effort. We eventually get to the main course where the majority of us decided to have the Branzino. First of all the cost of the fish by weight is astronomically expensive, but I guess it might be due to the fact that all their fish is flown in from the Mediterranean daily. Don't even get me started on the environmental and sustainability issues that arise from that. There was an option of accommodating sauces that you could choose from to go with the fish. I guess I assumed wrong that the fish might be cooked with the sauce, this was not the case. The staff bring over the cooked fish and dissect it and plate it for us table side (they did a rush job because I found several bones in my pieces), it was served with roasted (overdone) fingerling potatoes and sauteed (mushy) zucchini slices. The fish was unseasoned and we were expected to dollop the accompanying (average) sauces ontop of it. The potatoes and zucchini were nothing to be worth remembering, and neither was the fish. The other slight upside of this meal was the desert, their gelato and sorbetto were great however I have no idea if they were responsible for them or if they shipped them in from Italy everyday. Gelato is not hard to make either so its a good sign they didn't miss the mark otherwise this would be a zero star review. Ultimately there are so many other more amazing restaurants in Vegas, and probably even better Italian restaurants in your hometown that you should visit first before Bartolotta. What a huge disappointment.
Q: negative

A: Took two hours for a three course prix fix menu. Waited an hour between salads and entrees. Ordered the wedge salad, flank steak, and jelly doughnuts. All tasted delicious, flank steak was cooked perfectly, but was not hot. It was room temperature at best. Unfortunately we had show tickets and could not wait to send it back to the kitchen. Small portions, and even with prix fix, I did to feel this was a good value, and overpriced.

Answer: My Hot Dog was good, but like many establishments these days the service was sub par. I walked up to the counter smiling ready to order, and the guy just stared at me like I was interrupting something that he had going on. I said Hi and he looked confused.....sooo before I placed my order I decided to give him some customer service 101......GREET!! I am amazed at the lack of individuals willing to at least do their jobs these days.

Output: I'm an IPA guy, and I got the amber, which they call October fest? Anyway, not many craft brews in this town, so count your blessings it isn't Bud/Miller/Coors. Ask about the pint glass or pilsner glass. Discounted prices for your fills there, with a souvenir also. Great spot to people watch. Staff is among the best in the business, but with only about 200 sf to deal with, don't set your expectations too high.

output: my co-workers rave and rave and rave about this place and how "cool and divey" it is, so i took my visiting brother there for a mid-week lunch. it does seem a little divey, but that's only because it's as much as sports bar in the front, and the celings are low and the lighting is low. the service was down-home and friendly, and it was filled with regulars. our server was nice and friendly and kept our water glasses filled. my brother opted for one of their lunch specials and his plate was massive. he ate so much i thought he would pop. i got the cheese and bean enchilada plate with beans and rice. it was good but honestly, and this isn't meant to be a negative, but it was just similar to a hundred other mexican restaurants i've eaten in here in phoenix. i would go back except it falls outside my "radius of convenience" and i'm trying to bike more and drive less and it's just harder to get to Tee Pee on my bike than the mexican place only a block away from my house. good food, good service. very popular with locals.

I'm so sorry- I really wanted to like this restaurant. This was my second time here. The first time I went with my husband on a weeknight in October and had good drinks at the bar with very bad overcooked brownish-black potato chips and lackluster dip. But I decided to give them another try. I went into Bootleggers this afternoon for take-out. The kid at the take out register was very courteous and prompt, and my PBLT sandwich was delivered to me very quickly. But then I got home. I live three blocks away. The sandwich was so greasy, it had turned the grilled sourdough into a soggy mess. The pork belly was primarily made up of gristle- so much so, that I had to take my sandwich apart, cut all the gristle off of the pork belly (which took up a third of my plate when I was done), and then reconstruct the whole thing. I was unable to finish the entire sandwich, it was just that bad. I couldn't touch the potato chips that accompanied the sandwich. My husband tried a few and told me they were cooked well this time, but were devoid of any flavor- including salt. To make matters worse, half an hour after eating the sandwich I got really sick. Not sure if it was all that grease that made me ill, but unless the owner or manager contacts me and guarantees that things have changed, I will not be going back.
