Problem: Another confirmation that famous chefs who open restaurants in Las Vegas do a disservice to their reputation and their customers. Yes they make a lot of money because the hotels practically pay them to open a restaurant, and yes, they can get away with it because most of the people who come to Las Vegas are not particularly attuned to great cuisine (there are certainly exceptions, but just look around). I went there with a group of 15 on a Tuesday evening, and the place was not even close to full. The service was attentive, but it took forever to get any food out of the kitchen, and what came out was mediocre at best. The clams and oysters on the seafood towers were gritty, and did not taste fresh. The Pate' was served too cold and my steak, while not over-cooked, was also not properly seared. The vegetables were entirely taste free. The only good thing I can say about the place is that the wine list was reasonably diverse and well priced (We finished off 7-8 bottles of wine while waiting for our food.) I spoke to the wait staff several times about how long it was taking to get food to the table and they said they would send a manager over to talk to me, but they never did. In any case, Thomas Keller should reconsider having his name associated with this bistro. The same goes for most if not all the other celebrity chefs who make the same mistake.

Problem: I have eaten at many Romano's Macaroni in and out of AZ. The quantity and quality of the food has been decreasing over the years. I am very bummed out about this. During lunch, my brother and I ordered dinner portions. When the food came out it was more like lunch portions. 1/2 a chicken breast for the chicken parm and a handful of noodles on a huge plate. My pasta milano was 1/2 the portion from previous visits. Our server was awesome, attentive our entire visit.

Problem: I did not enjoy my experience here. Service - Very slow. I was in a larger party but we had to flag the waiter down just to get our initial order taken. Meals came out at different times which was awkward when you're out to dinner with friends! Food - I hate to give such a bad review but I'm going to give the truth here (because you CAN handle it ;). The calamari and crab rangoons were the worst I have ever had. The calamari had no flavor and looked exactly like Burger King onion rings. Not to mention that the portion was very tiny. The rangoons had barely any filling. As for my main entree, I went with the sushi. On the Tuna Lover's I actually had to scrape the topping off. I think it was supposed to be some type of tuna pate? It was awful. I actually just left some sushi behind which is very not like me since I'm a sushi addict. Atmosphere - We sat on the patio and it was a nice view with adequate seats/tables. Bathrooms were clean and hostess was welcoming. Overall, some of the worst food I've had in a long time. Two thumbs down!
