PROBLEM: Too dark booth for our party of 5 began a disappointing dining experience. Caprese salad & Proscuito Bruschetta appetizers. Caprese w flavorless mozzarella. Our pasta main course was undercooked, although every dish had sat under the heat lamps/salamander too long. So, tough ravioli, penne (wheat) undercooked but meatball was pretty good. Since we were guests, we did not send anything back. I guess it's just difficult for a well established and popular restaurant to consistently produce good food. But that just doesn't make any sense does it? What makes more sense is that they get so many customers they'll likely never see again, quality doesn't matter. Good thing there is Yelp.

SOLUTION: 2 stars

PROBLEM: If you are lucky enough to stay in this hotel or be at a conference, this is the best spot to jump in and grab a coffee and quick grub. Meaning personal pizza or wrap/sandwich to do. They do have these incredible deserts and nibbles that are delicious. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is due to their prices. Ouch!

I've had their gelato as well, and their plus is they have every possible flavor imaginable.

So take a break from gambling, but down your phone and have a sip and a bite!

SOLUTION: 4 stars

PROBLEM: There's something to be said when I don't have The Hunger for the rest of the day...

Restaurant Week (RW) always seems to lure me to the places I would never go on any ordinary day, even though we did go on a Thursday.

Salad bar with more selections I could remember, however I did have some lime-dressed-scallions/greens/tomatoes/something that blended well with the meats.
Notably, the smoked salmon was a bit too salty for my liking.

My favorite of the meats would be the parmesean pork and the lamb. I was never really a big fan of lamb, but this was soft and tender.

Water was never empty, service was top notch and I will have to remind myself to fast for a few days before coming here again :)

SOLUTION:
4 stars
