I loved Kerry Simon's restaurant when it was in the Hard Rock, and I love his restaurants in LA. It's very consistent and just comforting, knowing you're going to get good food. So, the fact that this place is in Palm's Place is a little sad - off the Strip and not even in the Palms...the restaurant and the food deserves better.\n\nThe restaurant itself is divided into separate parts, and doesn't make for a cohesive space. It's just weird...atmosphere, separation from the bar and kitchen and main dining area...I don't know, it just felt odd and disjointed. The main area itself is beautiful and everything I expected, but that's not where we sat, so... *shrug*\n\nThat said, I have to say I was a little disappointed...but left Simon's happy, mostly because of our waitress. There was really no explanation for it, but the kitchen was backed up...food was S.L.O.W. in coming...as were the drinks. From what I could tell, it wasn't that packed, not not other restaurants on the Strip that week.\n\nThe food, once we got it, was great. It always is with Kerry Simon's restaurants. There's something to be said about consistency. So, our waitress pretty much made sure we weren't too aware of the delays from the kitchen...and to make up for it, comped us a few drinks as well as dessert. She even helped out my colleagues who were in a different part of the restaurant.\n\nGood food, better service...makes all the difference in the world.
