Not worth the money! Very disappointed and ultimat...

Not worth the money! Very disappointed and ultimately let down by this $$$$ fine dining, 4.5 stars rating restaurant!!!

My best friend and I made a reservation (4 months to be exact) in celebration for our birthday dinner. We were guided to Chloe, the Special Events Director . We had a guaranteed guest list of 17 including myself. In order to accommodate us; we had to sign a contract, put a $1000 deposit down to secure our reservation. We understand that groups with greater than 12 guests must pre-select a menu from the group menus provided but, our group agreed and wanted the opportunity to venture out and experience the full menu. Because we made our reservation far in advance, they were able to accommodate our wishes. Also, we had a contracted food/beverage min of $2200.... Which we overly EXCEEDED btw!
Requested to have the famously known panoramic view of the LV strip and Bellagio fountain. Agreed to have our group in the main dining area which was perfect.
Later on, about a week before our reservation we were then told that our group had to be split into 2 tables if we wanted to continue a la carte dining. Why??
Even with all of these restrictions.. we were absolutely ok with it because in return.. we thought that we were going to have an unforgettable memorable night..... Wrong!
Night of arrival... Got to our table(s) great ambiance and spectacular view! Greeted by our waitress Hayley.. I believe that was her name. Ordered our food.. My boyfriend ordered the King Rossini Style Filet Mignon, medium rare. His filet mignon that cost us $90 came out to a medium well! Are you F****** kidding me!?? The reason why we he didn t complain at that moment is because he didn t want to hold the group back and end up eating by himself... So selfless and thoughtful of him! Food was ok; dessert was my favorite, I had their Napoleon. For my birthday.. I wanted to treat myself to a fine dining experience so I went ahead and ordered a drink.. Hennessy Paradis I went with. At this fine dining restaurant they were charging $260 for a single shot. Mind you.. I have no problem paying for an experience like everyone else there!
Beginning, middle to end.. our waitress Hayley and staff did not make us feel special in any type of way. Treated us like it was a random night that we chose to dine in.. let me remind you all, we made this reservation 4MONTHS in advance! They had their chance to WOW us or make it a MEMORABLE night but seriously dropped the ball! We all came here with high expectations.
No happy birthday no complimentary dessert no NOTHING! Nothing from that night made us feel special! Out of all the many choices of Fancy, Fine dining, Upscale restaurants to choose from, we chose here.
To be honest... we all felt like we were being profiled. It felt as though we were being treated like we were a bunch of youngins in Vegas just here to drink/party.
The service that we got felt like the service that you would expect at Applebee s!
Sadly, very disappointing.
