Subpar
Number of criticisms for Vagabond. The first is we hadn't even seated ourselves yet, when the waitress was already asking us what we wanted to drink before even seeing the menu.
My wife grabbed menus off a neighboring table and we'd hardly seated ourselves before the waitress was back asking us what we wanted to drink, which seemed very rushed and impatient. Considering the place was nearly empty.
First mistake of the night, I ordered a diet Coke and my wife ordered a margarita. I was shocked when I took my first sip of my diet Coke only to discover it was Jack and Coke. And my wife had a nasty surprise when she tasted the worst margarita she'd ever experienced. ( Honestly tasting the margarita myself, reminded me of the cheaply made mixed drinks you get at some event or club where they offered you unlimited cocktails, a serious ripoff that they had the audacity to charge $12 for that drink, on top of which was rather small in my opinion, considering the quality).
The second nasty surprise of the night was my burger. I'd requested they leave off the chard onions, and when I received it it was loaded with chard onions. As a side note it was a burger with cheese but you could hardly tell there was any on it. Onions and lack of cheese aside, the burger was decent and had a tasty bun.
The entire reason we had gone to Vagabond, is the signage displaying the burgers look so good. And it was a nice looking restaurant, clean inside nice seating well lit pleasant environment.
However, our waitress seemed pushy and rushed despite the fact that there maybe four other groups eating there and plenty of open space so not busy at all. The waitress also failed to ask how our food was, and when she came by our table to deliver the check apparently didn't notice the giant mound of charred onion discarded on the side of my plate.
Guy who delivered our food was great I wish that had been the person who was taking the order and delivering the drinks.
Bottom line, wouldn't even consider wasting money on buying a drink here considering there are bars located all over the casino and it most of the restaurants. Plus why eat here the service was poor and there are lots of other dining choices, not only in Excalibur, but in the adjoining casinos.
The wife was majorly turned off by the waitress and the horrendous tasting margarita. She wanted me to give Vagabond a one-star, but I had a temper my displeasure at having them get my order wrong twice with the fact that it was clean, my food if you can overlook the mistakes, tasted good and it was overall a nice looking restaurant.
