I wasn't sure. You know the space is more than a little awkward (looks like it should be a furniture store of clothing boutique). But it's good, actually really good. Service? Good. Food? Good. Management? Treated us like kings even though we showed up with no rez in our walking clothes and a stroller with baby in it. Servers were incredibly patient as my wife tortured herself with the overwhelming number of small plate options. And the ones she chose were pretty good. And the steak (the Spencer Steak) was excellent. Best $25 steak I can remember. \n\nThis is what we hoped Ogden's would be. A place worth visiting within walking distance of our house. I think I'd like this place even if it wasn't within strolling distance, but maybe an extra star for that. But it's not like it's an easy walk, so don't discount my review. We gotta head up Oakey and then once we get to Cimaron we can cut through the 'hood. When we get to Durango it's a bit of risky, more like 'mad', dash across Durango. Once you've safely navigated (jay walked) to the other side of 6 lanes of stupid, probably drunken, traffic (think frogger with a stroller), you can cut behind the Guitar Center to avoid the inevitability of being flattened by some Kohl's shopping ingrate. Assuming you make it through that long, dark alley you can take a right to approach Sahara and cross at what should be a protected cross-walk to the Boca Park shopping center, only this is Vegas so you can press the button for the signal (which by design is a really fancy one that in addition to a walk sign and in case you're blind should at some point announce \"WALK SIGN TO CROSS SAHARA\"), which in the last year has never given us a walk sign no matter how many cycles you wait through, but it doesn't really matter anyway because this is Vegas and signs don't matter because it's a 24-hour town and at any time of the day you've got people getting off their shifts and hitting happy hour and driving home drunk and on ambien or loratab, so with your head on a swivel, charge into traffic and cross when you see the left turn arrow and as you get to the other side you will notice a melting pot fondue restaurant, so if you're light on ambien, loratabs or blow you could probably score there as long as the employees haven't gotten too twisted - not on fondue - on that given evening and used up their whole supply. So now you're basically in the back of Boca Park. That should be a relief and, if you hit the melting pot fondue restaurant, maybe you're a little \"emboldened\" at this stage of the walk. It's probably good to be emboldened because now you've got another half-mile, unlighted stretch behind the office max and down a construction road with no sidewalk. Keep your head on a swivel because occasionally someone leaving cheesecake factory restaurant will come roaring up behind you and because there is no sidewalk you may have to employ some evasive maneuvers to make it to alta where you can ride the sidewalk and enjoy a protected cross-walk into Tivoli Village. My family enjoys this walk frequently.
