This place was definitely A-OK, as the three stars implies.  If Yelp allowed me to give half stars, I'd even give em 3.5 stars.\n\nThe Pros-\nThe location - right across the street from the Bellagio - so get a good seat and you get to see the fountains go off....and I'm a sucker for a good dinner view.\nThe salad - my Caesar salad was light and refreshing and not drenched in dressing.  \nThe portions - definitely looked like Goldilocks-sized portions..not too much, not too little. I think just right for the money.  \nThe service - our server was prompt and friendly and seemed eager to help us out. \nThe ambiance - it reminds me so much of a place we have here in Pasadena (in terms of decor) called Pop Champagne Bar - kind of hip, romantic/gothic, dark, candles everywhere, etc. \nThe variety of desserts and milkshakes and 'fancy' drinks - need to give in to that sweet tooth of yours? It seemed like endless possibilities were available for that sort of thing - - milkshakes galore!\nThe fact that the Sugar Factory candy store is just across the way - so you can REALLY indulge that sweet tooth of yours.\n\nThe Cons-\nThe theme of the restaurant seemed really at a discord with the food of the restaurant.  I mean, it's an American Brasserie.  \nMy soup - My French Onion Soup, which I usually am a big fan of, was really salty and all the cheese was gooped up at the bottom, instead of being nicely melted and toasted at the top.  It still was good...but for me, definitely not good enough to finish my little cup portion. \nThe reminiscent-of-Cheesecake-Factory feel - while the ambiance was pretty, everything about the place, decor, book-style menu, an unfocused menu...made me feel like I was at the Cheesecake Factory. Eh. Not my favorite of restaurants. \nThe salad- yeah, I know this was above in the pros section. And I stand by the fact that my Caesar was pretty good.  I just wish the salad was a bit crisper.\n\nAll in all, it's one of those places you come because it's \"there\"...or you need to entertain your children by sending em over to indulge in the sugar side while you try to enjoy yourself in the 'brasserie' side.  Probably won't be craving this place, but wouldn't be against coming here again.
