As a General Manager of a $50 million on revenue a year in restaurant in Las Vegas was very disappointing with couple issues. They Charged my CC twice because they added some drinks that did not belong to me and they actually delivered to … More

Food - delicious. Server - excellent. However, we had a seating mixup and the hostess treated us rudely. We basically had to apologize for being in a seat we had been told was okay, and we had to move our own food to a different table. The manager gave about a 10% discount and offered a free dessert, but still. More

They vibe is vibing at 1Watson. They accommodated our large family reunion all weekend. We closed the bar every night and the staff was amazing. The view's are impeccable and the drinks were fantastic. Sunday Brunch was so good, but service struggled a bit. Thank you for putting up with our group. More

Great location for sure however I only wished I'd checked how much a glass of wine cost.. my tourist brain assuming it would be a normal no more than $15/glass.. but I ended up paying $75 for 3x glasses 😞 won't do that again anytime soon!! So beware the buyer and know this place is expensive! … More

I’m quite literally standing in the restaurant as I type this. The service was fine. Getting my drink, being spoken to nicely that was all great. What was unappreciated and just kind of a morality flaw, is being hustled by a bartender. I … More

Amazing experience! The views are gorgeous, the food and drinks top it off. Roy was our server and took great care of us. He was also our local historian. We asked him about some of the buildings in the area and he gave us the whole history of them and the area. He really took our experience to another level. We can't wait to come back. More
