Botero is the latest of a series of Strip restaurants that hopes it's cool decor will make up for mediocre food and terrible service. It's not just that I had to wait 40 minutes to be seated with reservations. It's not just that the restaurant was half empty to begin with and never got busier. It's not just that when questioned the floor managers had anything resembling a good answer. It's really when dropping this kind of coin, it is not a crime to expect good service and great food. And Botero delivered neither of the two.\n\nFirst off, when did Pretzel bread go gourmet? Yes, please give me mushy bread with bleached flour. Secondly, when did stuffed zucchini flowers turn into tasteless deep fried eggrolls? (They even had carrot strips - yikes). The stuffed meatballs were ok but really nothing special, and I have produced better steaks off of my grill than the 20 oz ribeye we were served. \n\nI get more consistent steaks at Mon Ami Gabi than this place. Save your coin and try the much more consistent Charlie Palmer at the Four Seasons.
