It had been awhile since I had visited Lake Las Vegas and remembered always wanting to try Sunset & Vines from prior visits. The atmosphere of the place just seemed inviting and the food always smelled wonderful. So when planning a date I decided it would be a nice change of scenery and a new experience.\n\nI called ahead to make reservations around noon on a Saturday. My 1st indication of the evening was the phone rang at least 20 times before someone answered \"Sunset & Vine\"...then silence. The person confirmed they took reservations and took my information for reservations later than evening.\n\nWe arrived about 10 minutes early to a rather busy Saturday night, but the restaurant and was maybe half filled at the time. There was no signs or hostess and the few staff which was there didn't make eye contact, or worse yet avoided it at all costs.\n\nWe actually made it out to the patio area before one of the two waitresses informed us that it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait before we could be seated as she walked by briskly. On her next pass I asked about my reservation which she didn't confirmed but simply said \"Oh...I can seat you now.\" \n\nWe sat on the patio over looking Lake Las Vegas and the view and breeze was perfect. There was a concert about to start and the weather was just right. We ordered a nice bottle of wine from a pretty extensive and wide priced ranged wine list. We started out with the bacon wrapped dates which were very good, but just a little over priced in my opinion.\n\n I tried the Grilled Shetland Islands All Natural Scottish Salmon Fillet and she the Roasted Chicken Breast Picatta. Both were good, but nothing special and we both felt the servings were small and the presentation was average. We finished with Tiramisu which again was good but average.\n\nOver all I was a little disappointed in the service, food and experience. I wasn't expecting fine dinning or a super romantic location, and I'm glad I wasn't and it would not have delivered. The service was decent, but given a Saturday night with a concert on the lake, I would think they might staff up a little more than 2 waitresses and a bartender. I didn't even see a food runner so service was slow although they were working hard to try and meet the demand. \n\nI seriously doubt I will be back again, but if I do I hope to raise my rating and have a better experience.
