text: Only in Las Vegas can a fine dining restaurant the caliber of Rosemary's exist in the same strip mall as a restaurant called the \"Krazy Buffet\". But once you get into Rosemary's, you realize that it's the real deal. The ambiance of the room is pleasant, basically what you'd expect from a neighborhood fine dining restaurant. Even with the open kitchen, the room was moderately lit and fairly quiet, with a clientele of mainly couples in their fifties. The bar up front is small but perfect for couples waiting for other guests to join them, with a friendly bartender and probably the best selection of Belgium beers I've seen in the city.\n\nThe food we had was excellent, particularly the specials they had for the evening. My rib eye steak was delicious, though particularly fatty even for a rib eye. The other guests at our table really enjoyed their food as well, and we wanted to really like Rosemary's. Unfortunately the service was such that I doubt we'll be going back any time soon.\n\nTo be fair, it all came down to our particular server, who was surly, humorless and did everything he could to make us feel uncomfortable short of being overtly rude. The service systems they have in place are excellent (all the food is brought to the table at once, offering napkins to match clothing etc.), but when your server frowns, doesn't tell you the wine selections being brought to your table and generally does everything with a sneer, by the end of the meal what should have been a great experience becomes tainted to say the least.\n\nIt's a shame really, because a great fine dining restaurant off the strip is something we have been looking for. And Rosemary's could have been that place we would go back to again and again. But with so many choices in Las Vegas, we'll probably just keep on looking.
