- OTOpenTable DinerLas Vegas •1 review4.0Dined 1 day agoAll the food was lovely. Great platter and mains. Dessert was served and the ice cream had melted within 30 seconds of getting it. Assuming it was sitting under the heat lamp? They comped it which was nice but didn’t get an offer of a new dessert. Overall, a good experience.More infoNuba - Gastown$$$$• Mediterranean• Gastown•4.2
