My girlfriend is a trained chef, and we both agreed the food was impeccable. Chilean sea bass and sea scallops, both perfectly cooked and served nice and hot? Never happens. The vegetables were farm fresh as well. We sat pretty near the kitchen and she loved the smells coming from there too.\n\nThe decor is very cool and elegant, Las Vegas meets Hollywood, Rat Pack film noir, complete with gold film reels covering the ceiling. With period music to boot. The clientele looked very with it, no wife-beater tank tops & fanny packs here. The Royal Resort location that houses the Barrymore off the Strip looks empty and forgotten, but that's what they said about the South Beach, FL hotels in the 80s, so I expect the hipsters to show up and make it a cool place.\n\nThe only star deduction comes from the fact that the $30+ entrees are served on just garnish. All sides, such as vegetables, must be ordered separately at $10+, sending the meal into quite expensive territory. Our waiter pushed the sides on me, saying in effect I had to order one, and we noticed him aggressively pushing bottle upon bottle of wine, including $200 bottles, to the table nearby. When we didn't order alcohol (we don't drink), nor dessert (we had already eaten sweets that day & are health-conscious), we got the short shrift from the waiter.\n\nAll in all, an excellent meal, just make sure you manage your money and keep your head amidst the up-selling, like you do in the casino.
