Perhaps their food is good. Unfortunately we didn't get that far. My family and I were looking for a place in Vegas to celebrate my Dad's 60th b-day. It was a bit last moment, and we wanted a classy looking place that could accomodate 8 people for dinner at a short notice. Most places of that nature were already booked until finally we found Barrymore, reviews looked good, and the location really is very close to the Strip. We made multiple phone calls there to assure the reservation and ask any relevant questions. The service we received before even ordering food was so ridiculously bad, I am not sure folks there realize just how easily a reputation of a restaurant could be ruined by a couple of bad reviews. Perhaps, it was just a really bad shift manager, so I don't want to necessarily criticize the whole establishment. But let me just mention the facts1)We had certain liquor preferences and asked them about a corkage fee. On the phone they said it would be $30, which would have been fine. When we came and asked them to open our bottle, they said they have no license to serve liquor (even though there was definitely wine on the menu and hard liquor at the bar), but it wasn't "an issue $100 wouldn't fix". 2) They were quite rude to my mother who asked about some special dietary accomodations for our elderly guests. As the manager was responding, he actually took a swig of vodka in front of her. 3) We decided to leave (having no back up plans and having the b-day ruined), the manager chased us out, cursed out my whole party (including the f*** word), and asked a bunch of well dressed respectable people to never come again (and this in front of all the other patrons). It was especially embarassing because all of us were from out of town, had no cars, and had to just stand out in the dark and cold on an iffy plaza trying to arrange rides. So, definitely think twice before making any special plans at this place until and unless the management changes.
