Reflections Cafe

Good food

Slow service. Creative menu. Foods is better than average. Despite slow service, I will return.

Overpriced but I expected it to be since it was located in Harrah’s.
— open 24 hours
— cocktails were not good (ranged from $ 8 – 15 each)
— $ 25 bottles of wine /​$ 7 for glasses (all bottles on their menu)
— found the waiters to be friendly but not necessarily the most attentive
— overpriced average food
— pay at the cashier as you exit (cash or credit)

Food is overpriced for what you get, the quality is not very good (ie. the burgers taste like they were premade and reheated). The waiting staff here has always been friendly though, so we usually go here after a long night out since its the only place open @ 2am in Harrah’s. Unless you are in need of a late night meal, stick to the Waterfront Buffet. If you need a quick bite, try the food court down the hall.

Again — I love FRIED PICKLES!
They had the best fried pickles as an appetizer — how can you go wrong with a restaurant that serves good fried pickles — you can’t!
We came here for lunch on Monday around 1:30. The restaurant was fairly empty. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. She gave us some recommendations and also clued us in on some of the things on the menu (ex: crabby fries). I ordered the fried pickles as our appetizer. The rest of the people I was with had never tried them — they are all now fans. They use a fried mozzarella stick batter on theirs — never had them that way! I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich with American cheese — it was very very good! Everything we ordered came out perfect and overflowing. The portion sizes here are definitely very good for the price.
I recommend the fried pickles, steak and cheese egg rolls and the stuffed hot dogs topped with cheese. They use a different type of chili — more like a dry rub chili or like a coney island chili — very very good! Just be warned that the spicy ketchup that comes with the steak and cheese egg rolls is very spicy! — very good but very spicy!
Another good thing is that some of their items are offered on the room service menu.

0 stars. How do you f*ck up buffalo wings, let alone an entire meal? You all should be ashamed.

BEST FRIED PICKLES HANDS DOWN.
You will never go wrong with these fried pickles, not chips but SPEARS, and super crispy omggggg.
And Stephen, you are my favorite waiter ever I have ever came across.
My burger was also so good, I ate it all and that’s it.

Our party of six arrived shortly after 10pm on a Saturday night, the place was not packed to capacity by any means but it still took the staff 15mins to clear off a table. This appeared to be a trend as we noticed that as other groups left it would take at least 15m for the staff to notice and then subsequently clean.
Drink orders and food orders were very slow, apparently this task takes two separate people to do (I wonder if this causes rivalries in the kitchen ^_​^)
Once our food arrived we were surprised, it was actually pretty decent. The Philly cheesesteak eggrolls are what you’d expect them to be; an oily, gooey guilty pleasure. The seafood, crab, shrimp oh my pie was a mixture of a bisque/​soup with puff pastry on top, and the burger with whatever toppings you want (including a fried egg) was fairly decent.

Overpriced AC food. I am pretty sure I got what I expected…
If you are in the area do yourself a favor and spend your money on one of the higher end restaurants. McCormicks is also in Harrahs and I hear very nice (even though I can’t eat there due to dietary restrictions) and they serve lunch too. If you are there for dinner then go with Dos Caminos (never been to this one but the one in NYC is good) or Luke Palladinos (also never been but he has a good reputation).

Went around 10PM for a snack. Had the ground beef nachos. There was not a great deal of meat/​beef but lots of sour cream, guacamole, and other items on it. My friend had the hamburger which was average and nothing to write home about it.
Service was terrible. They only had 1 server for the entire restaurant at this hour. We saw our waiter 3 times — take our order, deliver our food, brought us the check. No refills on water. Had to take the ketchup bottle from another table.

I kinda expected more. Food was decent, not out of this world or anything. Service was not so great. But altogether an average experience, best part was convenience while at the hotel/​casino.

The food is average diner food. Price is what you would expect… add 5 – 10 dollars to every meal; you are in a casino. It’s clean and our service was average. The one bonus is they serve breakfast all day.

I was not expecting much from this place and it turned out much better.
I got the «bruschetta» burger medium rare. It was quite yummy. It came on a asiago cheese bun and it tasted like fresh bruschetta with decent quality beef in the middle. I’m not too sure if it was because i hadn’t eaten in about 11 hours but for now i will assume that it is because t was good since my friend who ordered the same said that it was pretty good too.
Our server was also great. Very helpful and friendly. After partying it up we wanted to get some noodles from the noodle bar before it closed at 4am. (we got there at 3:30) the host said that the noodle bar (even though connected to reflection café) only had seating for certain sections. He told us that we would have to wait for at least a 20 may 30 min and when the noodle bar closes it closes regardless whether we are waiting on line or not… luckily the same waiter we had for dinner saw us and said that he could take us in his section and serve us food from the noodle bar and didn’t even have to wait. 5 stars to that guy… wish i could remember his name.
The food from the noodle bar was surprisingly good… but a little expensive for what you were getting… but that is another story.

It’s totally overpriced for what it is. I mean come on, $ 16 for a fruit platter? I can buy all that fruit for about $ 10, so I don’t get why it’s $ 16.

This is a pricey restaurant with breakfast, lunch, and dinner situated within the Hotel Harrah’s. Its décor and seats and lighting are all very, very posh, but its breakfast (I only ate breakfast there, twice) has small portions and and is very expensive. I do not recommend ordering the French Toast at all unless you like gummy thick, blandly sweet bread. The only thing for breakfast that is NOT that expensive is the Early Riser breakfast for 9 dollars. (It includes Juice, Coffee, two eggs, and two pancakes. NO MEAT. The picture makes it look like it includes meat. It does not.)
HOWEVER to get the Early Riser breakfast, you have to get there and get seated before 8:30AM. That sounds easy right? No. Unfortunately the management there makes everyone who goes there for that deal wait in line for a very, very, very long time even though there are tons of idle waiters and waitresses standing around and loads of empty tables. I overheard someone complaining and their hostess replied saying the wait was due to a lack of personnel. I also overheard one of them telling the other to «open up everything at 8:45» My guess is that you are allowed to get it until 8:45AM. So if you really want to get the $ 9USD deal, you should get there around 8:00 at the very least. I don’t know anything about its lunch or dinner.

Unlike other reviewers, I had a very good experience at Reflections Café.
I was tipsy, and sleep deprived when I dined there, which may account for the fondness I have for the place. Regardless of that fact, I know this much:
The food we ordered was damn good.
I dream about their she-​crab soup. It was a rich, bisque like concoction with big chunks of crab meat swimming throughout.
I ordered the halibut over mashed potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the wiener schnitzel. I was thoroughly enjoying my fish when I looked over to see him hardly touching his plate.
«What’s wrong?»
«I don’t want this.»
«Why not?»
«I didn’t read the description. I thought I ordered sausage. You know, wieners?»
After that, I cut off his alcohol supply and switched plates with him. It worked out because I enjoyed his dish more than my own. The pounded and fried veal cutlet went perfectly with the spaetzle that accompanied it.
There is no décor or ambiance, you’re eating at a casino café. But the food is tasty, and the people are nice.
Overall, not a bad choice if you find yourself at Harrah’s.

She Said…” This place is just like all the other cafes in the casinos… same type of food and same type of service. I got a turkey club, which was really good, but tasted like all the other clubs at the other cafes in the casinos. The service was pretty slow, they don’t really try to be friendly or anything with you… they just take your order, bring it to you and that’s about all you see of them.”
He Said…“I think they use the same kitchen at Harrah’s that they use in Bally’s…I mean my club was good but identical taste. Anyways this place is cheap and we eat here because its free… we are hardcore gamblers… Service is slow and you better order all your drinks and food when you see the waiter, because they don’t come back unless you are ready to pay. This probably would be good drunk food though…

I guess I came on a good morning.
The line was long, even though my uncle is a member of the Diamond Club or whatever it’s called. But upon being seated, the waitress was really friendly and understanding. My aunt wanted a warm milk, and the bus boy didn’t understand what she was talking about because milk only comes out cold. So the waitress took her milk and I’m guessing microwaved it or something. (Normally I have a problem with restaurants having a microwave because that means the food isn’t freshly cooked but that’s a whole other story).
I got a bacon cheddar burger, medium well, and man was it good. It came with the waffle fries, which were banging. I guess I was just starving or something because I wolfed that bad boy within minutes.
Normally I would tell people to goto the Waterfront Buffet but Reflections Café isn’t a bad alternative. It’s open 24 hours so that’s a good thing as well.

HORRIFIC
Service here is horrible. You wait online to get seated even though plenty of tables are available — they make you wait.
You get seated, your drinks don’t arrive. no one comes over.
You get drinks, but then no one takes your order, and the waitress is unable to be found.
The food comes — and its not even good.
I have never had to undertip at a restaurant. but here I had to.

24 Hour diners are common in NYC but not in AC unless if you happen to come across diners /​cafes like these. Traditional American Fare is the name of the game here and the food is not outstanding but certainly edible in most regards. The prices are solid, with appetizers ranging from $ 5 – 10 each to entrees that are $ 10 – 25 each. The service has been decent and the space is ample enough for big groups and couples without feeling cramped.
Plus it makes for a great place for those who are hungry and trashed out of their minds in the wee hours of the morning.
