    Three of us ordered some dishes to share and main courses. The sea bream was perfect as well as the borrata was very carefully composed. We shared cheese mushrooms and a garden salad. All food was perfect. The wines are priced too high and the Washington State Riesling was mediocre at best and disappointing at $85. The service was quite good save for forgetting to bring more bread after being asked. Nice touch was the gelato brought to celebrate a birthday. We’ll be back. Considering the Strip location we feel it’s reasonable value.

    The food was great. Our table had the tasting menu, which was wonderful. To me the outstanding dishes were the truffle pasta and the balsamic braised short ribs.

    Overpriced and overcooked! Really disappointing experience with poor quality food that was overpriced- even by Vegas strip standards.

    We keep coming back to this place again and again. The service is outstanding! We just love Casey. She friendly and genuinely cares about you. Victor the manger always comes by to say hello. Rarely in a Casino restaurant do you get this type of excellence! This place is a hidden gem.
