How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
As we walked through the casino area of the Hard Rock, my friend stopped and saw the menu for LTO. We didn't get our pizza the night before so we decided to come here for dinner Friday night. Our party of two arrived around 6:30pm and was seated immediately. We were probably two of eight people in the restaurant. LOCATION: In the back of the Hard Rock Hotel, further back but next to the entrance of Nobu FOOD: I thought I was set on getting the pizza, but once I looked at the menu, I decided to get the linguini with fresh clams. You have the option of getting white or tomato sauce, I chose the white. The linguini was delicious! It was actually the perfect portion size where I was full and content after finishing my entire meal. The white sauce was light and delicious, perfect for scooping into the clam shells or soaking with the accompanied bread. MY GRIPES: *We weren't given bread or butter *Clams were small *Fresh parmesan cheese wasn't used, it was more like the Kraft kind you put on pizzas *A spoon wasn't given to me with my pasta dish - an absolute must with Italian pasta dishes! Being one of the only parties in the restaurant, we thought this place was either new or horrible. I looked up LTO on Yelp to find only one review and it was a horrible one at that. The waitress actually told us that they've been open for about two months but I still found it odd that there was basically no one in the restaurant. Service was a bit spotty. We were rarely checked up on but the workers were friendly. LTO does have the potential to make it. The food was good, but maybe because they're located in a back corner, there's a whole lack of promotion. Until it gets a bit more crowded, I think for the time being, they should think about having less staff on duty. Its odd looking into an open kitchen and seeing the wait staff and chefs just standing there....pick from the following.
[1]. negative.
[2]. positive. I think the answer is
