    Worst experience in Vegas! The new restaurant Craft + Community that took over this space “honored” my reservation, but abandoned us quickly. There was one waitress for a Friday lunch shift with a 1400 attendee conference happening in the hotel. None of our food was correct or the correct temperature. Gross.

    I made reservations weeks in advance for a trip to Las Vegas. Open Table let me know it was closed down the night before. Im not sure when it closed, but it would be nice to know in advance. It isnt easy getting spur of the moment reservations in Vegas.

    Great food and casual ambiance. Excellent drinks, especially the 3 Bitter Manhattan! Everyone we take there loves it. Hope it doesn’t change much under Virgin. Only takeaway was that the volume of the music was a little loud for dinner.

    The place was simply just OK... Nothing special.. I would recommend the place for the ambiance only, because its a pretty cool place inside. However, the food wasn't all that great at all.. We ordered the deviled eggs- simply Ok. The Perogies were decent but nothing special. The Fish and Chips were too greasy , one of the pieces of fish had uncooked batter in it which was inedible, and the fries were way too salty. The best thing we had was the House Potato Chips because the dip was really good. They didn't even attempt to replace my undercooked piece of fish- they just said Sorry and still charged me full price for it...I would have simply appreciated just a new piece of fish- but NADA! As I said, the place is just OK

    We loved that we could get small plates and drinks instead of only ordering full meals. The decor is great. We were disappointed that the website said there would be live music at 7:30 and there wasn't any. That was one of the reason we chose it.

    Hostesses were complete b*tches. Very rude. They told us they were booked for the entire night when we arrived if we dd not have a reservation. We told them that they had plenty of openings online and they told us that we were wrong. We then made a reservation on our phone and the craziest thing happened. A table magically opened up. What a joke.

    Our vsisit was on Valentine’s Day. Such an awesome spot! The place is fancy/not fancy. The food is mouth watering! The Pork Belly Nachos, best thing I’ve ever had in my mouth...for food at least. The Smashed Irish drink was something I had never tasted before, incredible! Definitely going back again and again. The service was great too!

    The service here was fantastic! From the hostess to our waiter, each person we encountered was friendly and intent on catering to our needs. Jacob (our waiter) was impressive and had knowledge of a wide range of food and drinks and was very attentive. Would love to try this place again the next time we are in town. Definitely save room and order the monkey bread for dessert.

    Delicious fried chicken and biscuit breakfast, with Old Bay-seasoned gravy served in quirky environment at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Waitress was great! Cheerful and helpful. Value was exceptional.Location is not on the Strip, however, so allow about a half-hour walk if not driving.

    Probably one of the best values for great food in Las Vegas. Despite a somewhat limited menu, excellent options, and every dish we had was outstanding. The flavors, even on a side salad, were amazing. Low point: The "cover band" playing was a little too loud, and really did not add to the dining experience. High point: Our service was incredible. If I could give 10 stars for service I would in a second. The hostess was extremely nice and accommodating (...we did not want to sit near the band so we could talk). Our waitress was amazing. She knew every item on the menu in detail, really offered good advice on what would be the best choice for each person in our party given, our preferences, and really monitored our experience very well. Great personality and positive attitude the fact that she looked like Julia Stiles' twin did not hurt either). The location (off the strip at the HardRock Hotel) requires a trip off the strip, but it is definitely worth it.

    My friends and I love going to Culinary Dropout, so we decided to make a reservation for New Year’s Eve. Paisley (Pasley?) our server was awesome! Super kind and very friendly. The food was excellent as usual (you can’t go wrong with the pretzel and fondue app). My friend ordered the fish and chips and said it was the best he’s ever had. Overall, one of our favorite places to dine!
