None of us wanted to be rude, but I was so close to saying, 'actually, you know, we had these menus for at least 5 minutes before you came over and we all know how to read.' -Air - OK, this one really pissed me off, because I actually phoned the restaurant ahead of time to ask about cigarette smoke from the casino, and was assured the restaurant was completely separate. When he went over the menu, he pretty much read/quoted the entire thing! 'And I also have a nice lamb.' and then he would say, verbatim, every word we had already read in the damn menu. Throughout the dinner, when he came to the table he would linger, chatting, much longer than he was welcome. (see 'air' below for the bad news) -Service- quite good, but with a touch of weirdness: we were joking amongst ourselves that the waiter wished he could pull up a chair and join us.
Ambiance - absolutely lovely, really special. If it were not for some of the other factors (below), I would have rated this with 5 stars and devoted myself to earning a high enough salary to eat here every month. I have some negative comments to make about this restaurant, but I have to first say that the food was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.
