Enjoyed Jullina Serrano's twice while there. and I mean ENJOYED! First I'll start that our waiters were excellent; knowlegable on the food and the wine. Our fitst late lunch experience was the most enjoyable and relaxing. Our waiter was superb, advising on many dishes and pariing excellent wines to compliment. Only compliant is that some, not all, of the meat on the Chacuterie plate were slice too thick. Our second adventure was a very late (near closing of kitchen) dinning after a show. Our waiter was less experience, but very enjoyable, also he brought the sommelier out to our table to help wiht selcting our main bottle. The other waiters explained the dishes also offer wine pairing. The highlight, again, was desert and the paired wines. This time (for me) a 82 Pedro Ximenez Sheery, delicious wine (with it, who needs a desert). We will definitely be back. Just returned froma very short trip to Vegas.

I ate there for the first time last September, and it was easily my best meal of 2010. I can't wait to go back. Just posted a piece about Julian Serrano on my website, http://www.davidstable.com.

The decor was wildly modern but inviting, the service was good and the food was as authentic as one can find in North America. Having been born in Catalunya and raised in a Spanish culture, I decided to have a traditional meal. Starting with entremeses or appetizers including olives, pan tomate and escalivada, a paella valenciana for the main course and, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago for dessert. The appetizers were simple and authentic and the paella was well made, although the sofrito could have been tastier and more azafran or saffron could have made it truly authentic. The chorizo sausage was the tastiest morsel in this paella. The crema catalana was memorable, and arguably amongst the best we've ever had anywhere, including in Catalunya. The Spanish wine list was extensive and Desi is deft in his field. He mentioned his Basque background and spoke some words in his native language that no one else in the restaurant could understand. Well done Sr. Serrano… We’ll be back! While in Las Vegas for my birthday last week, my wife and I had dinner at JS and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Staff was attentive but laid back, wonderful decor and ambiance and the food was amazing. Better gazapcho than Victor's cafe in ny - my previous favorite. Dates and bacon to die for and waiting for my pork loin big plate. Interestin wine list - had an excellent Tempranillo at a fair price and look forward to desert. If I have another free night this week I'll be back for a 3rd visit. Bravo! My best meal in Vegas over the past two weeks – except for my previous visit this week to JS.

We ordered the recomendations: Gambas and spanish tortilla. Then I ordered some of my favs: stuffed piquillo peppers and the mixed paella. The gambas were just prawns in oil and burnt garlic, it had no specific taste at all. The spanish tortilla was interesting and had good form but I felt like it was missing something as it was also bland. The mixed paella was wrong in so many ways.... I could tell from the presentation that is wasn't going to be appetizing. The lobster was so over cooked that it was shriveled and chewy inside its shell, and the chorizo and chicken looked one in the same. The whole dish was so salty that a few bites was all I needed before I gave up on it. The almond cake for dessert was dry and thick and hard to go down without the side of ice cream that it was served with. The stuffed piquillo peppers were good but not good enough for Vegas just like everything we ate. Jillian Serriano needs to find some inspiration and authenticity to his menu.

So, on our latest visit to Las Vegas we were excited to hear that a Tapas restaurant was now on the menu at the new Aria in the City Center. We promptly made reservations and anticipated our meal. The M Lifestyle Magazine states "flavor, service, and design, are all aspects of the new Julian Serrano's at Aria. We agree that the service is impeccable, and the design (decor) is exceptional with details that are beyond expectation however, the food quality and flavor leaves a lot to be expected. We ordered several dishes and found them to be bland and tasteless. One dish "Huevo Estrelados" was nothing more than French Fries (overly salted) with a fried egg on top. If you are into decor and service then this is the place but if you are seeking an exceptional meal then make a choice from the hundreds of other Las Vegas spots.

We went for lunch and had gazpacho, fisherman's soup, spinach, stuffed piquillo peppers, bread with manchego cheese. Shared the almond cake. All delicious, same with the sherry, server was friendly and helpful and it cost less than the place we over-ate at the night before. If the fit-out cost $10m the money was well-spent on all that beautiful glass. I'm sure you could get as good on any street in Barcelona and cheaper but this is closer and they're not paying strip rents. Wouldn't change a thing. FWIW we agree with Anne.
