This was, by far, the worst meal we had while in Las Vegas...especially disappointing since it was also, by far, the most expensive meal we had while in Las Vegas. We just had a little time for dinner before a show, and the concierge suggested this place since we had no reservations. It was horridly overpriced, and the food mediocre at best. The service was, however, outstanding...sorta. They brought a piece of bread before the meal, and never offered another, until we chased the server down and asked. Not cool. We split the grilled octopus appetizer. The octopus was cooked perfectly, but sauced with an extremely strong balsamic glaze that completely obscured the flavor of the fish. We both ordered the short rib with polenta dinners. The meat was overcooked to the point that it became mush as soon as we started to chew it. The polenta was excellent...both tablespoons of it. The "dinner" portion would have been an appetizer anywhere else. This meal was thoroughly disappointing, especially at $36 a pop. The wine, at $22 a glass, was no better than the wine they bring for free if you just stick a dollar bill in the penny slots. Mario, if you're paying attention: You can do a lot better than this!
