text: I was very excited to finally check out the very hyped up City Center. I was quite impressed with what I saw from the exterior to the interior of the massive center. Walking up to the hostess area of the Cafe Vettro I was equally amazed with how the restaurant looked. Thinking to myself this would be quite the dining experience. With high expectations we entered the cafe as we got ready to eat. Unfortunately my expectations might have been a tad too high. =\\\n\nFirst impressions of the place... Gorgeous dining area and atmosphere. Yet I was quite surprised that there was no line at all during rush dining hours in a brand new resort on the weekend. Didn't add up until later. Even with no line we still stood for a good 5+ minutes waiting for a table although we clearly saw that there were a lot of empty tables (about half the restaurant empty). So we waited awhile to sit even though there was no one in front of us and the restaurant had a ton of open tables... Atleast the food will be good, right? Right?!\n\nWith a comp at our disposal I figured I would splurge a little, allowing me to try out a lot of the restaurant's offerings. I was excited to see what their menu had in stored for us, but upon opening it up I was immediately disappointed by the lack of items there were on it. I've grown accustomed to other quality cafe's in Vegas which offered a HUGE variety of food on their menu *cough* Grand Lux Cafe *cough*. So seeing 5-6 entrees on the menu was a disappointment. \n\nWe ordered the Calamari, Crab Cakes, Chicken Lollipops, Pork Bun (Siopao), and Caesar Salad w/ Flat Iron Steak for appetizers. While waiting for our appetizers we were given a beautiful basket of bread. The design of the bread was nice to look at and it almost made me not want to tear it into pieces. The bread tasted like bread. Just wish it could've been warmer... or warm at all. We soon got our appetizers. The Calamari and the Crab Cakes were delicious. The salad needed a lot more dressing and the steak on top was dry and tough. Chicken Lollipops were alright. Didn't try the Pork Buns cause I had dimsum a few days ago.\n\nFor main course we had the Shrimp Penne, Fish & Chips, BLT Sandwich, the Steak, and Chicken something. Can't say anything too positive or negative about this portion of the meal. It was just alright, nothing out of the ordinary. Which sucks because of the price you're paying for mediocre food. Even the presentation of the meal wasn't impressive.\n\nFor dessert we ordered the Cheesecake, sugar-free Coconut Cake, Creme Brulee (oh wait, they were out of creme brulee!), and a Strawberry thing. They all had fancy names, sorry I can't remember. Everything was nicely presented and tasted good. Probably the best course of the meal.\n\nFrom my experience I have to disagree with other reviews bad mouthing their service. We were greeted with kind waitresses (3 of them as a matter of fact) every so often asking if we needed anything. I guess it had a lot to do with the lack of other customers in the restaurant at the time we went. \n\nMy review might seem negative but it wasn't a terrible experience. My expectations of everything in City Center were very high and I'm just sad to say were slightly let down from the meal I had in Cafe Vettro. Service was good, the place looked amazing, but the food was just ok. Which for the price we paid should be a lot more impressive.
