A: Really, really, REALLY disappointed in the service. This should be 5 star service @ the price. We had reservations. Our first time there. We still had to wait, as "V.I.P" cardholders who walked up without reservations were seated before us. I inquired as to why @ the hostess desk, and she said, "Sorry, they are "V.I.P." s". There are two areas in which to dine. The "steakhouse" and the run down, additional room with zero ambiance and electrical tape all over the floor to cover exposed cords. Guess where the GM sat us? We are considered "V.I.P.s" @ Wynn and Palazzo, and to be treated like this because we don't gamble much @ Bally's was unforgivable. It was obvious that the patrons seated in the run down room were not given 5 star service Oh! There was also a wadded up used Kleenex on the table when the GM seated us. The last straw was when I went to try a lobster tail, and they were empty. According to other patrons, they hadn't been refilled in a while, but they just went back to their tables. This is when I let the GM know exactly how we felt. Oh, and by the way, we were dressed for fine dining, so that is not why we were seated in the back. The GM froze when I told him about my yelp review to come, and promptly seated us in the steakhouse. From there everything went well, but still fuming. The couples @ the next table told us they had been coming here for years( Bally's " V.I.P.s"), and things have gone way downhill. They still come just for the lobster, caviar, and champagne. Let me tell you about the food. When lobster was available, it was GREAT! Caviar was GREAT, champagne was GREAT! Prime rib was not impressive, and my Boursin omelet was burned. Lobster bisque was floury, and had no lobster chunks. I asked the GM why they didn't serve a glass of champagne to the waiting patrons before being seated, and he acted like he never heard of such a thing! I have read that they DO many times in yelp reviews of Sterling. So thanks for listening, and I would definitely go back for the food and champagne @ the price. I would pay 200.00 for 5 star food and service if it were truly 5 star for EVERYONE. This review is based on how we were treated.

Q: negative

A: I know I'm going against the trend but I can truly say, I've had better, which is what a 2-star rating is means. Any average bistro in France will serve at least as good as this if not better for half the cost. O.k. so we are not in France so you have to pay extra, which I don't mind but it should be really, really good if I'm going to plunk down $38 for an entree and no sides. First about the food... We shared the grilled octopus salad, which was very nice. It was the best dish of the evening. The octopus was tender and mild, accompanied with some citrus sauce, rocket, and various peppers and pickled peppers. My husband had the flat iron steak and fries. I had read rave reviews of the fries but it turns out they are just fries. They remind me of In & Out. We have a local bistro that has much better fries. The steak was good, cooked to order, with carmelized onion puree and some chive butter. Good but not spectacular. I had the leg of lamb with escarole. Leg of lamb is a pretty big hunk of meat but this presentation was very thin medallions of lamb--about 8 small bites of meat. Yes, it was nice but nothing special. The escarole was fine, and it had about 1/4 cup of tasteless quinoa. I would have much preferred rich, creamy mashed potatoes. The highlight of the dish was the Hen of the Woods mushroom--fantastic! I would have ditched the lamb and rather had a plate of those. We were so unimpressed that we decided to go without dessert. Ironically, it was our anniversary and the reservationist asked if it was a special occassion, which we said it was, and the matre d and waiter both gave congratulations but actually, that was the end of it. Have you ever been to any kind of restaurant that asks you if it is a special occassion and then does nothing? Not even a stupid chocolate-covered strawberry. For those prices and that hype, you would expect a little something when you are paying $175 for 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine. Why bother to ask? The good thing is that we have always contemplated going to the French Laundry but this changed our mind. It would pain me too much to pay $600 and be disappointed. Again, it was certainly not a bad experience and it was a good meal, but not at the price.

A:
A-mazing. The restaurant is small and cramped, but the food is spectacular, service is extremely friendly and efficient. My husband had Chicken & waffles, and I had Bre Bre's chicken salad, both were phenomenal. We also took red velvet cake to go, so so so so good.
