text: We had reservations for dinner prior to attended a performance at the Smith Center. It was Sunday and there were performances in 2 theaters. We arrived 15 minutes early and the restaurant was packed. Our hostess was telling walk-ins that they were filled up and the only seating available was on the patio. Our hostess took us to a small table with no lighting and we felt that it would not be possible to read the menu. We asked for another table and one that I pointed out was not available since the table was broken, (Lost Revenue!!). We were offered another table that seated 4 people which was difficult getting into but satisfactory. The d\u00e9cor is artsy, nice tables like artist palettes and fits in with the neighborhood. \n\nService\nOur waitress asked if we were going to the Smith Center and since we were she would get us out quickly. It appeared from the customer's attire everyone was going to the Smith Center. We ordered 2 glasses of wine and dinner at the same time. It seemed like a long wait for the wine about 10 minutes. After a while I asked the waitress about our wine and she said there was only 1 bartender and things were backed up. My wife ordered the French Onion Soup as an entr\u00e9e and I ordered the Barramundi Sea Bass. The French Onion Soup came out separate from the Sea Bass. I waited 10 minutes before asking a passing waiter to check on my entr\u00e9e. He immediately bought it to the table. I wonder if it was sitting in the kitchen waiting to be picked up. Upon arrival I asked why both dinners were not brought out together and the response was the fish takes longer than the soup. I repeated the question and the waiter agreed that they should have been brought together. It appears the restaurant is overwhelmed by the amount of business from the Smith Center.\n\nFood\nThe soup was warm not hot and since it arrived early my wife ate it since it would have been cold if she waited for my dinner. The soup was tasty with a good sweetness to the onions. My entr\u00e9e was very good. The fish was cooked perfectly and had a tasty sauce.\n\nIf not for the service issues, I would award Bar + Bistro 4 stars. It might be interesting to go there on a non theater night. Bar + Bistro is a nice addition to the Las Vegas Arts District. \nOne final comment our waitress did not ask if we would like dessert.
