How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
I was in Vegas recently and had dinner here. The appetizers were fantastic, especially the squid salad. But I felt that I was totally ripped off with the flown-in-from-Italy fresh fish. I was charged $135 for a small sea bass. Obviously, the cooks at this place and many of the reviewers, have never had fish Asian style. I live in the heart of Chinatown in New York City and I am surrounded by fresh fish markets. Whenever I want to eat fish, I go and point to a live one in the tank. I can buy the same sea bass that I had at Bartolotta for maybe $10 or less. Who taught the chefs at Bartolotta how to cook fish? It was so overcooked that it did not matter where this fish was from or how fresh it was. It was rendered tasteless. I watched in shock as my waiter dissected the fish and took away some of the best parts of the fish, namely the skin, the head, the fatty meat in the stomach area. What a waste! I have dined at some of the best places all across the country and by far this is one meal that I truly regret paying for.
