Weak. Totally overpriced and lame. \n\nWe ended up with a $100 giftcard to the whole CRYSTALS shopping center, which was pretty much dead when we came to the Vdara hotel for a couple of weekdays. Maybe they thought I'd buy a $3000 watch if they gave me $100, but of course that's a bunch of bullcrap so I was going to get a meal or two out of that $100. This is one of the only places in the complex for a regular lunch, so there we went. \n\nI had high hopes since we went to Spago (didn't mean to go to multiple Wolfgang Puck restaurants) the previous night and loved it. However, for the price the food here was weak and forgettable. \n\nI got veal ravioli with mushrooms. Lots of mushrooms. The weird fungi looking kind that don't really taste like anything. This was pretty much the focal point of the dish, because nothing else really stood out. The sauce was pretty bland and the veal didn't taste like much of anything. The portion was good but for $20+ I was really glad I had a gift card. Don't get me wrong, for $10 per plate I still would have thought it was weak, but for about $70 total after tip I was just mad out of principle. \n\nScampi appetizer was also kind of weak. Just lots of butter. \n\nJust kind of a weird experience. Supposedly in this really upscale complex being served expensive food but it tasted more like something from a chain.  Lots of tourists at the other tables (sometimes not knowing what or how to order, being foreign tourists..) because there's just nowhere else to eat. What a weird scene! \n\nAlso service was slow. We got there right when it was opening at 11, so we could use up our giftcard before driving back to Fresno. And this would hold us over til we got home too. But the slow service was whack. We were one of the first people in and people who showed up much later than us were eating before we got our dishes. Lame!
