Addiction Restaurant

Great location and décor. We will definitely be back. Great place for couples or a group of friends.

The food was ok, but definitely not healthy. Almost tasted like a cheap hotel breakfast. Would never go back.

went with my girlfriend on monday for brunch. the place is interesting and modern, and seemed promising, but we felt let down. the coffee was old, and even when a new cup was brought was still only passable. after ordering our food, apparently the cook was elsewhere, and it took over half an hour to even get our meals… and we were the ONLY ones there. my breakfast sliders were fine (good but not noteworthy) but her alfredo wasnt really up to standards. (also, they told us the reason the food was taking so long was because the alfredo takes a while to prepare… which is silly).
it shouldnt have taken so long to get service, and even being so close to the airport we were really close to being late to get her on her flight.

The chicken and sage waffles were delicious. My chicken was well seasoned and juicy. It’s unfortunate that the food service here takes forever! They must have killed, plucked, and butchered the chicken in the time I was waiting. The service wasn’t great either. There was a shift change and they didn’t bring us the rest of our order. I went to investigate and it was just sitting behind the bar.

Awful place — never ever go there. Looks like they use water from the toilet to prepare their coffee and tea, and you will end up waiting for the food for ages… seriously, 1 hour to prepare a sandwich? The only excuse I can see, if they grow a chicken on their kitchen before actually put it into sandwich.

No… just don’t do it folks… either management needs to pay attention to training staff or the owner needs to train management.
The food took 45 minutes to come out and we were the only ones in the restaurant… café…eating nook?
We ordered a salad, a pancake and the sliders… the only thing that was good was the salad. Pancake was dry and brittle like it was yesterday’s pancake heated up. The sliders were supposed to have the gravy in the side and it was in the slider. The gravy was a tad gross and mucus-slimy-like…and I was done.
The place is gorgeous and has a ton of potential… I felt like hotel guests were passing us by like «Damn nobody told them to eat elsewhere!»
It’s VEGAS! No room for mediocre… I don’t wanno mediocre

This place is FUN. I picked it out on a whim for brunch because we were headed to the airport and it was close to our hotel. The bf was a little wary when it was all neon pink and bright white but he’s always up for something new. The bar had a few patrons but the restaurant was empty. The bartender called to us as we were finding a table that we would need to order from her and then I had to search up my own menu… and just as I was starting to rethink my decision she started to SHINE. She was fun, funny, cute, perky and just had a great personality. She apologized frequently that she felt she was neglecting us (she wasn’t) and that she was trying to split her time between the bar and us. She did mention in passing that the wait staff and the chef no-​showed (reading the other reviews this seems to be a trend) but that the executive chef was manning the kitchen and she was getting her cardio in! The bf ordered the Country Breakfast Sliders and I had the Classic Breakfast. My only disappointment with the food was the hashbrowns. I’m from Idaho, I expect real, fresh, crispy, grated potatoes on my plate. Instead I got a patty of frozen potato– but truly the best damn patty of hasbrowns I have ever had! They were delicious! I was doing some serious eyeballing of the sliders and cursing my gluten intolerance — fresh roll, country gravy, chicken fried steak… YUMMMY. I will say that the portions are small. It was perfect for me, but the bf would have been hungry if he hadn’t hauled down a few pieces of left over pizza while we were packing. Toward the end of the meal the music got to be a bit much — some genre I can’t even define — just not my cup of tea and I was glad we could escape it.

This place could be a lot better, but the service is simply not there. Went in there for dinner and it took about 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Waitress never checked in with us and had the nerve to drop off the check before our food even got there!

Had brunch with my sister on a Monday at noon. Restaurant is small and was not busy. There is one person working serving the whore restaurant.
Food was excellent. I ordered the angus burger, I ordered it medium and it was made exactly how I wanted it. The fries and delicious also.
My sister ordered the steak and eggs which was also great. The steak was a little too well done but it was still delicious.
I would have given the place 4 stars but it took 35 mins for the food to come out. Thank god we were not in a hurry. This is a perfect place to order from if you’re going to the pool.
Food and service was great, I just wish I didn’t take 35 mins for my food.

I am SO torn about this restaurant inside the Rumor Hotel. It’s so cool and funky in there all sparkly and black and white and silver and the restaurant is all white white white. Love the décor. Also loved that as we waited at the hostess stand, the chef came out and greeted us and introduced himself and seated us, telling us about a change on the menu that day.
What I didn’t love is that it seems like maybe whoever was supposed to be waiting tables didn’t show up and the bartender acted as our server. He was very personable and friendly, but the service was terribly slow and it took a LONG time from when we did order before the food was made and delivered. then the bill was incorrect and then the credit card didn’t go through and he had to chase us down. In their defense, their computer went down and they were having technical difficulties.
BUT, that said, the food was delicious. My husband REALLY loved his meal which was chicken sliders with potatoes and fried eggs… I had the burger and added a fried egg and it was also really good, although I would have preferred my burger and my egg a little less done.
Overall, it was a REALLLLY long visit, we were probably there about an hour and a half, but somehow we weren’t cranky and had an okay time. And the food is very affordability priced!
I would give them another try.

Décor was funky and fun. No one was at the desk to greet us when we arrived. Our waitress was very friendly but seemed like she was the only person working in the restaurant. There was a guy that I think was the bartender who was just strolling around the whole time not appearing to be very useful or doing anything of importance.
Let and tom xtra on a burger. I ordered the short rib benedict it was delicious. Fries were really good.

Located in The Rumor Boutique (whatever the devil that entails) Hotel. The menu is not expansive (Perhaps that is what boutique entails) but it does cover the basics. The burger I had was great. The service was good as well. Less noisy than the Hard rock right across the street if that is your bag. Not quite a hidden gem, but still it is worth checking out. Live it up, you are in Las Vegas for cryin’ out loud!

We walked in on a Sunday night. There was no one in the place. The restaurant was in the lobby and there was no one in the place. We were met by a really friendly person who took us to the restaurant which was in the lobby and empty. The place definitely has an interesting look. Upscale and colorful crossed with Ikea modern.
We went to the restaurant because of the menu they had advertised but it was not the same food that was listed in the place.
The food is fine. Personally not anything amazing I think. The staff is very friendly. I think the food is slightly overpriced but I would agree with a previous reviewer worth if it if you have a
certificate.

Addiction is a fun, trendy place to dine. The service was satisfactory & the food was delicious. Executive Chef Stephen Austin is very personable. We greatly appreciated that he came out of the kitchen to greet us, ask our opinions of the experience, gave us some background on the food, & even take a fun photo with us. Overall, I’d recommend dining here.

Made a reservation here for our Valentine’s dinner, but didn’t realized that they only have a «Valentine Dinner 3 Courses Menu» for $ 30 a person until we got to the host stand. We thought it was a blessing in disguise. however, it was a far cry from it.
We got the following:
–amuse bouche: oyster topped with foam –the oyster does not taste fresh. Foam wasn’t tasty enough to cover the fishy taste. My fiancé wanted to spit it out but thought it would be rude.
–seared scallops: although they were cooked well and the flavors were decent, it was gritty. They were not clean well.
–NY Skirt Strip: I ordered this medium rare, it came out COLD.
–Pan-​Roasted Salmon: Salmon was cooked well, however, it was under-​seasoned, for a person such as myself who does not eat much salt with my food. I also was chomping on some grit. Gross.
–Bread pudding: This was very tasty. There were slices of apples within the chunky bread pudding, on top of a perfectly balanced sauce, and a small scoop of icecream.
–Chocolate molten cake: came with a small scoop of icecream, which was not enough to cut the richness of the chocolate cake. Was good, but not as good as the Bread pudding.
Based on the very below par food we had tonight on the «Valentine Dinner,» I will have to say no, we will not be returning.
Oh, my fiancé asked if they have McCallan, response was no. Then he asked if they have Maker, response was no. My fiancé then peeked at their bar and spotted Johnny Walker. So he ordered a Johnny Walker black. Seems like their liquor cabinet is limited…

We dined as a party of four and we had the place to ourselves on a Saturday night. Not a single other diner until we were nearly done with dessert. I didn’t realize it, but the food is tapas style. We probably would’ve been better off ordering ala carte, rather than the prix-​fixe three course Restaurant Week menu for $ 30.12. At least our tab benefited charity.
We started with French Onion Soup and Mac Bites; Deep Fried Smoked Gouda and Cheddar Mac & Cheese. The Mac Bites were real tasty, the soup wasn’t very good. It lacked the richness it should have and it was overpowered by salt.
Next up was Mixed greens with Toasted Walnuts and a Citrus Vinaigrette. It was lightly dressed and the greens were crisp. Nothing too notable, however.
The salad was followed by Seared then Braised Short Ribs with Sweet Potato Purée, Crispy Potato Strings, Smoked Salt, and a Wild Honey Port-​Burgundy Sauce. Tasty, but the portion was small and without the potato strings it would’ve been like baby food.
Dessert concluded our meal we had the gossip sundae with green tea ice cream, bananas and fried wontons. Not bad, nor memorable. The lava cake was a bit dry. Not recommended.
Addiction is an odd place, with decent food. I like what they are trying to do, and on occasion they may successful, but this particular Saturday? It was a ghost town. We actually felt like we were part of a horror movie at times. We dined early to avoid the Saturday night crowds, I guess you could say we suceeded. But we’re certainly not addicted.

Burned by Addiction yet again! My mom wanted to come here for her birthday and because she is an incredibly picky eater, I conceded after offering her many other restaurant options of which I knew we’d have a substantially better eating and service experience. After leaving dinner my mom told me I could pick the restaurants from here on out. She said she trusted me. Sometimes it takes just having the bad experience all up in your face!
Our waitress was nice, but inattentive not out of laziness but because she was the only waitress there and I’m sure waitressing was not her only job duty. The food was meh-​everything fell flat and presentation was deeply disappointing and unsatisfying. I ordered the parmesan fries and french onion soup and my mom ordered off of the Restaurant Week menu and also got french onion soup, a salad, seared ahi and a sundae.
I feel like if a restaurant is going to offer a classic dish like French onion soup, they either better put their own spin on it or it better be the best of the best. This version was neither and I think they tried to hide this fact with an unforgivable amount of salt. The cheese was neither melted nor hot-​just a slice of some identifiable cheese that at one point been melted but was now sitting as a thick, unappetizing layer on top of the soup. Underneath it was a slice of what appeared to be wheat bread. It had soaked up the liquid of the soup and was soggy and again, unappetizing. The broth’s only minimally redeeming quality was the abundance of onions, but that was overpowered by a broth that was so offensively salty, that if I had hypertension I’d be writing this review from my grave.
The rest of the food was mediocre at best– my mom nailed it when she said my fries tasted like Jack in the Box fries, which I like! But I could’ve paid $ 2 for those instead of $ 6. Presentation was bad on her ahi and it should’ve been served with some starch-​possibly polenta or potatoes-​in addition to the salad.
I don’t want to keep bashing the place because it has potential. The food needs work and the restaurant operations could definitely use a boost a la Restaurant Impossible. Being the only restaurant at Rumor, they really need to either step their game up and invest in better quality food and additional staff or shut the restaurant down completely and use the space for something else.

The ambiance and décor of Addiction matches perfectly with my birthday dinner dress– that’s honestly probably the only reason why I chose to go to eat at Addiction for my 25^th celebration. On that note, physically, Addiction lived up to all my expectations. Someone even said it looked like a rockstar’s girlfriend’s room, and quite frankly, I would love to be a rockstar’s girlfriend if I get to live in a place like Addiction.
Unfortunately, plans changed and instead of sticking to my 6PM reservations, the gang and I decided to opt for brunch so we can make it to Marquee to see Kaskade. Bust on both parts. While the food itself delivered quite well, nobody at the table had anything to complain about, it was so painfully slow service that earned them just two stars. We awkwardly walked into the dining area, with not a soul there to greet us. When the host/​waiter seated us and took our order, we seriously had our suspicions that he was the host/​waiter/​chef. Not even joking. It took our salads and sandwiches a whopping 45minutes to come out– and we were the only table there! Luckily, I purchased a
voucher for $ 50 and our bill came out to about $ 12/​person. Not too shabby for a meal in Vegas at all.
The whole setting of the restaurant and hotel is quite interesting. it almost looks like an upscale motel. Am I addicted to Addiction? Nope. Won’t be back again unless someone else wants to do their birthday there!

I really think someone might’ve kidnapped the banana man.
Why is it that two out of the TWO times I’ve been here they were out of bananas? Yes people, BANANAS. According to Norm K., they were also out of bananas when he went, so I’m not the only one that has witnessed this. They should just change the description of the Gossip Sundae, so they don’t have to tell people they’re out of bananas whenever someone orders it.
Other than the mystery of the missing bananas, the layout and seating situation of this place is just weird. When you walk toward the pool area of Rumor, you’ll see the bar on the right, and on the left you’ll see what appears to be an eating area, but there is no hostess or wall of separation to let you know that’s the restaurant. You can only assume it’s Addiction because you’ll see some people eating and staring at you while you look all puzzled. Finally, after a few minutes or so, the waiter will come out to fill someone’s water or something, then see you standing there. He’ll take you to a table and hand you some menus, but both of the times I’ve gone, I had to ask for the tapas menu because they didn’t give it along with the regular menu.
I’ve ordered:
Cuban Ruben w/​pesto salad ($ 9) — The sandwich was dry. The pesto salad was bland. I pretty much attacked my boyfriend’s burger because my food was too boring.
Custom burger medium well w/​fries and fried egg, swiss, mushrooms, avocado, aioli toppings ($ 11) — Yummy. Of course this sh*t was good, I picked the toppings myself! Very juicy and oozing with flavors. I finished the whole thing and most of the well seasoned crispy fries. Funny how much I love crispy fries nowadays when I used to push those aside from the soggy fries I was so obsessed with as a child.
Black Cod Tostadas ($ 10) — So delicious! The bass was perfectly blackened and the lime cilantro Remoulade added a nice little kick. It came with roasted tomato salsa, but I didn’t even use it because dish was already flavorful. We devoured all of it within 5 minutes.
Mediterranean Plate ($ 10) — This came with Hummus, Eggplant and Tzatziki and toasted pitas. I just ate the pitas with Hummus and Tzatziki because the eggplant was so sour and pickled.
Both visits, I ordered the Gossip Sundae, which was actually quite good aside from the missing bananas. The green tea ice cream didn’t really taste how it should though, it tasted like pistachio (as Mel L. mentioned) but I’m a fan of pistachio ice cream anyway. I’m curious as to how this sundae would taste if it had all the correct ingredients though.
3 stars for a tasty burger, delicious tostadas, and very nice food presentation. Minus two for sub par service, strange layout, and lack of bananas.

This place could easily be a 4 or 4.5 star restaurant but it was an accumulation of little things that made me subtract the star and a half. First, when I got to the podium, there was no one around. Immediately behind me at the bar were 3 employees. They all saw me, yet not one said a word – not so much as a «someone will be right there» or «let me go get someone.» Nothing, nada! Several minutes went by and a woman appeared from a door which turned out to be the kitchen. She then seated me. Little thing #1.
I had a Groupon and she asked to see it. When I loaded it on my iPhone she stated she wasn’t sure they were doing it that way. They wanted a paper printout. At that point I was ready to leave so she said she’d talk to the manager. He agreed to take the Groupon number if they could copy my ID. What? Little thing #2.
There are 6 entrees on the dinner menu and 6 items on the dessert menu. They forgot one item from my steak and they were out of bananas for the dessert. Their banana supplier had not yet been there. Little thing getting bigger #3.
Charge for a second iced tea at $ 3. It was a partial refill. I had ¹⁄₃ left when she asked if I wanted more. Bigger little thing #4.
Now for the meal – it was superb! I got the 8 ounce filet which was on a bed of garlic-​onion mashed potatoes (the menu says purée, but it isn’t). There were 5 stalks of grilled asparagus for the seasonal vegetable (they were perfect!), and the drizzled Port syrup was very tasty. The crispy tater strings were forgotten or maybe they hadn’t been delivered yet, either.
For dessert, I had the Gossip Sundae – green tea ice cream on powdered crispy wontons with butter rum caramel sauce, caramelized bananas, and walnuts. Of course, the bananas were missing.
Plating for the entrée and dessert were nicely done. I looked at some of the photos for the restaurant to see what I should have gotten. I sure wish they had gotten their delivery!
I’m not sure if I’ll give Addiction another chance. It is good, but there are too many little things that just add up to a subtraction in the enjoyment of the meal.
