Mix Restaurant   

We dined at the Mix last night. The first turn off was the hostess. I noticed that someone else made a very similar comment. They need to send their hostesses to some kind of customer service training. The hostess had an attitude and was quite curt and unfriendly. We had a reservation and were not seated until 40 minutes after we were supposed to be. I had a crunchy lobster salad with coconut gazpacho as my appetizer. It was bland, bland, bland. I couldn't taste the coconut and though the salad had crunch, there sure was little taste. One of our diners had to send their steak back. They had ordered the special of the evening. The highlight was surf and turf, a halibut with foie gras and black truffles. I had range chicken and that was ok, but not at the level of quality I would expect for the hype of the restaurant and the price. Desserts were definitely good. I had the maple napolean with pistachio ice cream. That was the favorite part of my meal. The chocolate dome received a high review by one of our diners. The rum cake was weak and my husband was quite disappointed. Our service was good, but the meal was so, so with a high price tag. And fire the hostess! We won't go back.

Service was excellent. Timing was wonderful. Never felt rushed. Excellent food. I believe all ten people in the party were pleased. Spectacular view.

The major attitude of the hostess was our first turn-off. The view was better from our suite at the Four Seasons, especially at the first table that Miss Attitude seated us. I asked for a better view and she put us at a tiny table fit for one. One look at the menu made us realize that it was another overpriced restaurant with a tasting menu that didn't look very interesting. (Perhaps I should mention that we are from NY) So, we decided to leave and then discovered that the view from the outside bar was the best and they served delicious appetizers there. A much better choice than looking at McCarren Airport and getting a so-so menu.

Room was too bright. Food too average. Should have left after the appetizer, wihich was very good. Service was average. Disappointing.
