3 Stars just isn't high enough, but The View doesn't really deserve 4 Stars either...\n\nHighlights: \nIncredibly small portions...good, but not great items in general...innovative menu items\n\nRefreshingly good wine selection...though most varieties start at $12/$13 a glass and go up\n\nExceedingly friendly/welcoming staff...It is clear that customer service is a priority here\n\nI'm a fan of the modish/distressed/industrial/weathered tables & d\u00e9cor \n\nThe view...of what again?...a fountain? \n\nEnjoyable live music!\n\n\nEnjoyed a very good evening here with a group of friends. It was immediately that the management here cares about the customer. I really appreciated the friendliness of the staff. The 3 servers I've had the opportunity of experiencing were helpful with the food, but need more wine training/experience to be helpful with wine selections...kind of useful when you're a wine bar.\n\nWe had a lot of food items here...as much because of the portion size as anything...and we paid more than anticipated to be full as a result. Although most items were good, there is nothing we ate that I would specifically come back for...not one truly memorable item. I listed what we tried in order of what I like the most: \nTuna Tartare Tacos (a little on the small side, but tasty)\nButternut Squash Soup (lovely flavors...banana even)\nOnion Soup (fans of French Onion should try)\nOxtail Croquets \nThe Hero Sandwich\nSteamed Clams\nTivoli Wrapped Dates (the minuscule size is what kills this dish)\nPork Belly French Fries (Don't remember the actual name of this item) \nGnocchi Gratin\nOrganic Mushroom Risotto (not bad...but not good...so many places do this better)\nLobster Bisque (still searching for decent lobster flavor)\nChicken \"Pot Pie\" Nuggets (left wanting)\n\nIf I came back I would try the lobster mac and I heard great things about the cheese boards.\n\nCome here for a wonderful ambiance and different feel than Vegas typically offers!\nCome here for a nice wine selection!\nCome here to enjoy solid live music!...not sure what nights though\nCome here when you're at Tivoli because it's better than most of the other options!\nDon't come here for a beautiful view!\nDon't come here to eat a lot and enjoy a food coma!\nDon't come here on a budget!\n\nThey offer a 15% discount when you check-in on Yelp!\n\nOne more rant...I am still not a fan of Tivoli. I like the atmosphere of the View! I don't see how it fits in with Tivoli's and its half hazard theme. I am waiting for the day that Tivoli is twice as large and hoping that it finds its identity. along the way.
