Q: negative

A: We should have stuck with our "no celebrity chef" policy, but we went and tried it anyway. I would NOT recommend this place. The food was bland. Major over-salting on one dish and no seasoning on another. Very small portions. The service was so formal it wasn't even a fun experience. I especially hated the manager pacing up and down the isle with his hands clasped behind his back. I felt like we were being watched. Historically I've loved Batali's restaurants, but this one is trying way to hard to be something. It needs to add a whole lot of friendliness to the place and o some serious evaluation of the food. I have no problem paying a couple hundred dollars for an amazing meal, but after this one I left hungry and wondering what I just ate and why it didn't taste all that good.

Q: positive

A: Service was very good..calzone was excellent.

Q: positive

A: Honestly, I've had better Mexican food, but the outside patio and dining room is so beautifully decorated, I always make sure to bring out of state guests here. The waitstaff has always been friendly and the food is served quick and piping hot. The wait for a table during snow-bird season can be awfully long so be prepared.

Q: positive

A:
There used to be no wait here but after Man V. Food highlighted this spot, the wait has gotten to be unbearable at times. I have heard they have another location now to ease the congestion of the crustacean mayhem. The Hot n Juicy Special is the only way to go. I usually get the medium but be prepared to reach for those paper towels to wipe your running nose. It's spicy but not unbearable and the taste of the sauce is still recognized by your palette which I believe makes for a perfect balance. Make sure you get enough corn for each person or you better be ready for the ensuing fight that's going to break out. My first and last stop every time I go to Vegas so you know it's that good.
