A: Disclosure: I was born and grew up in Italy and lived in France before moving to the USA. The menu of this restaurant is mostly American-Italian with some French influence. The waiter recommended their version of the garlic bread and, well, it was not only the best I ever had, but also a meal on its own. The Italian stile antipasto was so so as the prosciutto was not the real Italian one, most likely the cheap Canadian imitation (dry and salty). My fiancee had the chicken piccata and she loved it, I was intrigued by the bouillabaisse (which I had once in the south of France) and it was really good and really huge, highly recommended, even if the potatoes weren't a bit undercooked for my taste but I didn't care much as there was too much else to eat. Good service, nice atmosphere, in line with Vegas prices for what we got.

Q: positive

A: My new favorite restuarant/bar as it is a relaxing hangout. Great food at great prices. Staff is always good and they keep your drinks full. There tuna sandwich is awesome. The fries are not greasy at all. I wish I would have discovered this place a long time ago.

Q: negative

A: Way way overpriced & overrated. Came here for dinner during the Holiday week with 7 other family members at $50 each. Waited in line for 1.5 hours. Honestly, we were all hungry we could eat a cow and didn't have much expectation for the food quality coming in. Turns out both food and service were such disappointment I would never ever ever return. The meat line was so long most of us didn't bother waiting as we feel for the people still standing in line to get in. We ate fast and got out of here as fast as possible. Food just didn't taste right... the only dessert I enjoy were the chocolate dipped strawberries. Overall - total waste of money and wish I was knew earlier. It could just be the busy Holiday week but I am not willing to risk it ever again.

Q: negative

A:
3 out of 4 times going to XS the DJ wasn't good. House music seems to be overtaking hip hop in Vegas so I have to brace for that, but even still, who plays like 10 seconds of a song then changes to the next track? Just enough time for people to yell "Oh I love this song!" and then it mixes away. And I wasn't the only one in my group, or on the dance floor, that was frustrated by that. Its so popular and everyone talks about it, but dancing to the mix they have there always feels like work, where I have to tell myself to just go with the beat and try to have fun. I'd prefer going to a dance club where you can't help BUT dance. The pool is pretty and sometimes they let you go in. I was confused one night where people were dressed for the beach and still getting in the club. Guess I didn't get the memo for a pool party, I would have rather worn comfortable sandals than my heels. Makes me want to bring my swim suit in my purse every time... just in case. Bottom line, I'll go if I'm with a big group that all wants to go, but if its up to me I'll pick a club with better DJs over going to whatever is the trendy spot.
