Ok, I'm not a food snob by any means - I like 5-star restaurants as much as dives, but this is a place that I would definitely avoid. My wife and I had just been dropped off by a cab to roam Fremont Street for the afternoon, and we decided to stop in here for a late lunch. Our first problem was trying to find this place. I kept seeing ads for it throughout the casino, but it is so hidden from view and difficult to locate that at one point we almost left to find another place to eat. After finally locating it, we stood at the entrance waiting to be seated for what seemed like an eternity - while two of the servers looked over at us several times but decided that it was more important to carry on with their own conversation than to seat us. The place was practically empty due to the time of day, and although there were several open booths in the front of the diner with plenty of space, our hostess decided to seat us in a separate room located all the way in the back of the diner. I thought this was a little odd, but not a real big deal. Once we got situated at our table, the hostess left... and then nothing. We just sat there looking at each other, wondering if anyone even knew that we were sitting back there. Now even more time passes to the point where we are almost ready to get up and walk - and then our server appears. Orders go in: one Reuben and one BLT Avo. A short while later our food comes out - and again the server disappears, never to be seen from again until we are ready to leave (no checking back on our food, no asking if we want another drink). The food was mediocre at best. Yes, I know - it's a diner, but in comparison to other diners that I've been to, this place leaves a lot to be desired in both the food and service department. I realize that Du-Par's is part of the "LA coffee shop tradition", and I would gladly try one of their franchises in L.A., but our experience at the Vegas location was bad. This city is extremely service-oriented. If this is a sample of how they treat their customers, they will probably go out of business. I have never been anywhere in Vegas where I've seen service this poor. There are lots of food options around Fremont Street - if you find yourself in the Golden Gate looking for something to eat, I strongly suggest you find another place. If you go against my advice, then you better pray you don't wind up with Erica as your server.
