I had high hopes for my return visit to Olives. Several years ago I had a lovely meal at the restaurant while staying at the Bellagio, but was disappointed with my most recent dinner. \n\nService was both rushed and inattentive, with a sense of urgency to turn the tables coupled with an attitude that more than suggested \"Why bother, we'll never see these people again.\" Staff wanted to take our meal order even before presenting the menu.\n\nThe foie gras served with my meal was delicate and properly seared. I wish I could say the same for the filet, which - ordered rare - was served over-cooked, dry, and completely unseasoned. Staff were nowhere to be found after dropping off the dishes, so there was no one to run interference with the kitchen.\n\nTodd English, your staff at this outpost can and should do better with both service and cuisine. The Bellagio Hotel & Resort positions itself as a 5 star establishment and purports to have restaurants of the same caliber. Sadly, this spot is letting them down.
