cellioWe went to Aladin's Garden (on Forbes near Zeb's) a few nights ago. The food was good; the garlic soup was very good (and vegetarian). There are a lot of vegetarian options. The service was good after an initial snafu (that they were very apologetic about). Recommended.
Speaking of Zeb's, which is where Sweet Basil was, we ate there a few weeks ago. The food was good and the portions were huge; next time I will ask if I can order the "lunch" portion at dinner time. I had the blackened tuna and it was very tasty.
Tonight we decided to break in the entertainment book we bought last month by using one of the buy-one-dinner-get-one-free offers at an unknown-to-us restaurant. We went to Roland's Seafood in the Strip. I had the tuna (blackened, again) and found it underwhelming -- not bad, but mediocre. It was overcooked and the seasoning didn't have much zing to it. Dani had the surf and turf and said it was good. The service, though, was abysmal. We were there for about two hours, and it wasn't so crowded that the kitchen was just backed up. Our waiter kept disappearing; it took a long time to order, and then a while to get food, and it took a *long* time to get the check (and then get the error corrected, and then pay...). I'm in no hurry to collect more data points.
