Sal y Pimienta Kitchen Reviews
We had a birthday lunch here for 6 people today. Beautiful venue and they put us in a private room. The staff was pleasant. We got our orders (all correct) and continued chatting. The food was really good and the desserts were OUTSTANDING. Kudos to the pastry chef! Our bill was brought to us unsolicited. It did not have a large party gratuity included. We asked for it to be split up and they complied. In the meantime, 2 of us recognized we were upcharged. One ordered the $8 potato soup and was charged $12 for lobster bisque. I was charged an extra dollar for salmon when I had ordered ceviche as my topping for my salad. If I was the only one, I wouldn't have said a thing. But there were 2 of us, so I asked the server about it. He said that they use the lobster bisque key for their soups (lobster bisque isn't on the menu) and they're all the same price anyway. I said, no, they are not. He continued on that they were the same and I asked him to bring me the menu. At this point, he said he would fix it. I asked again for the menu. They did correct it. When they ran our individual cards (again, gratuity wasn't applied on our individual bills), our cards were all charged extra to include gratuity without a tip line or signature line. I walked away with a really poor taste in my mouth. It left me wondering how often they do this, a couple of dollars at a time. My hope is that the manager sees this and addresses this with the staff.

Food is too salty and portions were small, almost child-sized, for the exorbitant amount charged. You’re basically paying mostly for a plate full of sauce on the pasta dishes. No wonder they rush you in to sit, as soon as you walk in the door. They probably don’t want one to have time to read reviews. There are much better restaurants in the strip that will leave you satisfied, that taste much better, and at a much lower price.
