I wanted this to knock my socks off, but it fell short. Mostly due to the service, partly due to the strange atmosphere and the fact that they were 40 minutes late seating us when we had reservations and arrived early for them.\n\nFirst, the bar. There is a beautiful bar, great drink list, nice bartenders, piano and lounge singer... all setting up for a relaxing setting, right? Nope, the lounge singer, with piano accompaniment, sang songs by Katy Perry and Rhianna, and songs like \"Call Me Maybe\". WTF? It was just so weird! \n\nWe had 8:30 reservations, arrived around 8:20, and didn't get a table around 9:10. That's just bad planning on their part, I believe.\n\nNow, the service was the worst part of our meal. The menu is very simple, with no explanations of any of the items. You would rely on your server to elaborate on preparations, etc, when the menu contains none. This was where the meal went off the tracks. There was just a list of all the available entrees (lots of different fish, etc), and our server showed up and said, \"are you guys ready?\". I said something like, \"we're unsure of the preparations available for each fish\"... and he said something like, \"oh, we can do blackened... you know... whatever......\". SERIOUSLY? That's it? So guess what I ordered... Blackened halibut! I didn't know how else to order! Even the salads, the one we ordered was the spicy mambo salad, had no explanation. What the hell is a spicy mambo salad? I don't know, so thank god we liked it. It was like a spicy caesar salad and was very good. My halibut was delicious, my husband's tuna was great. Portions are RIDICULOUSLY HUGE. I wouldn't suggest 2 side dishes for 2 people, just choose one and share it. We had so much food left over, it was depressing to leave it all to be thrown away, but it's Vegas! We're not gonna pack leftovers around all night! After we ordered, the server at the table next to us went through the available preparations with his table, and after hearing them, I would have definitely liked to try several of them. I was very disappointed by our server.\n\nAll in all, the food is delicious, but good food is not hard to find in Vegas. The service is a big part of making a great meal, and this was lackluster. Not sure I would return or recommend this restaurant, with all the great options in this town.
