THEcafe at THEhotel

I signed up just to make sure this place was understood how bad of an experience it was. My party of 8 came here after it was highly recommended on Unilocal.After sitting it took over 10 minutes for the server to come and recommend food to us and take our order. 50 minutes later the food came out. Everyone’s food was completely cold. The blue crab Benedict was horrible. My girlfriend ordered the lobster panini with fruit. She got a panini that literally ha the cheese harden from being outside too long, and instead of the fruit they served her fries. Rather than having the server address the issue with the food taking so long, he avoided the table. My water wasn’t refilled until the check came and I complained about the service. No plans to come here again, or the hotel for that matter.

Dim and dark place, I like it. I went in the daytime with a group of friends. It looked romantic from the outside view.
Inside is very quiet, very comfortable seats.
I ordered a chicken burger and pasta salad. Pretty good, healthy and fufilling. My friends all got steak& eggs and liked their plate.
Just one CON, the waitress took one of my guyfriend’s payment by credit card and instead of $ 30, she charged $ 300 and we were all laughing at him, but he was angry. I would be too lol. They said it would be omitted in the billing. I hope so.
I would come back just for the dim lighting, comfy seats, and food.

Here’s a great tip — the café is right by the valet — so you can get in and out quickly if you are just going for a meal.
I had the Thai steak salad — it’s really great. The steak is perfectly cooked. I of wish that there was more of the papaya, onions and cucumbers — they were quite refreshing.
Service was fine she seemed tired of out of it. So it goes sometimes!
The space is really nice, calm, quiet. If you need a place to have a good business lunch — this is it!

They don’t take reservations but the line moves quickly. Charge it to the room to see if they will comp it based on your play.
We had two meals here. The first was a late breakfast, early lunch. I had the steak and eggs and my girlfriend had the bento box. She said the bento box was good and looked similar to those she has had at other establishments.
The steak and eggs, on the other hand, was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, they allow you to substitute the hash browns for their truffle oil coated fries (these were good). The eggs were cold when I received them but they did quickly replace them with warm eggs after I asked. The steak was a bit thin for me, about ½ an inch and had more fat to trim than I expected. Although cooked correctly, it lacked flavor.
Our second meal was breakfast. My girlfriend had the chicken and waffles. As you’ll see from the pictures posted on here, it comes with bacon which was a nice touch (and tasted very good). The chicken was fried properly and had a nice flavor. It comes on top of 4 small waffles, plenty for her for breakfast.
I had the blue crab benedict — I would HIGHLY recommend this. I posted a picture and hopefully you will be able to see the amount of crab served in this dish. Not only was there a great amount of crab, the flavor was excellent. It’s served in a bowl rather than a plate as they provide plenty of sauce used to devour your crab.
I may have mentioned this before, it’s not an inexpensive place to eat, $ 24 for the crab benedict and $ 17 for the chicken and waffles, $ 4 for a soda, $ 4+ for coffee. We had a hotel credit to use so it worked out perfectly for us.
If you’re staying at The Hotel, it’s a convenient place to eat. Service is pretty good, the atmosphere is a bit like a club (pretty dark but not near as noisy, black napkins, dark décor, high prices!). But, they do have mini spot lights over the table which allows you to see the menu as well as your food. They are quick to prepare the order (which was one reason the cold eggs were so surprising). Also nice because it is away from the noises of the casino, but it is right off the hallway from the hotel over to the casino (so there is a bit of foot traffic if you sit by it). Hope you get a chance to try it.

If you’re staying at Mandalay Bay or THE Hotel (or even if you’re not) saunter down to The Café for breakfast. Delicious menu items like chicken & waffles, French toast, breakfast meats & eggs, etcetera. Service is quite good here and the whole place feels restful and serene.

Our service was terrible here. It took a very long for our order to be taken and even longer for it to finally be served and it wasn’t terribly busy. When we asked our server to split the bill she gave us attitude saying «well I don’t know who had what». So she did not split it like we asked.
The food was not bad but I couldn’t look past the poor service.

My friend and i were on the prowl for a tasty breakfast restaurant that didn’t look and feel like a cafeteria, and we were very happy with THECafe. It is a nice sit-​down restaurant with friendly service and delicious food.
We each enjoyed a breakfast cocktail, and my friend enjoyed an omelette with toast while I ordered a bagel, bacon, and hashbrowns. It was all perfectly cooked, not greasy, and was the perfect fuel for a day of exploring Las Vegas. I will definitely be back on my next visit.

Love it there! The staff is nice. I came for my bday with my friends. The mimosas are the best. We had the brioche French toast with eggs, shrimp and grits, and an egg white omelet. They were awesome! The flavoring was just right.
The hostess was willing to take our photo. You don’t usually get that everywhere! I will definitely come back. For 3 of us it was $ 71.

I love everything about this resturant, location, food, ambiance, the people, and did I mention the food? Yes, the service is a little slow, but the slow service doesn’t defer from the mouthwatering food being served here.
I ordered the Thai steak salad and it was orgasmic, I asked for a different dressing because the original dressing was a little fishy, but my waiter, Paul, suggested something different (the name escapes me) but it was outstanding. The flavones were sweet and spicy in the best way possible.
If Chef Jay still has this on the menu you must try it, the chicken and waffles are to die for. My sister ordered it the first day, but the next time we went, I ordered it, as did my sister, again! The chicken was nicely seasoned and and again, was the perfect combo of sweet and spicy. Chef Jay, you’re a genius. Everybody that I spoke to, said it was the best chicken and waffles they ever had! Oh god, just thinking about it is making my mouth water and my stomach grumble.
So if you’re in vegas and reading this, go in there, sit down and order so, e chicken and waffles. You will not be sorry.

Came here and got a «healthy» breakfast omelette and was blown away at how delicious it was. The flavors were spectacular.
I didn’t know it came with hash browns and asked the server after it came out if it was possible to switch out for fruit. She was a sweet heart and let me switch it (no charge) and let my friends eat the hash browns since otherwise they’d get tossed.
Great food (zero complaints from my friends). Great service. I was very happy (and I was initially very hesitant as it looks a little too posh for a breakfast place and the guests tended to be a bit on the older side).

I love this place! It’s quiet and understated. The service is always great. The food for breakfast /​brunch is top notch. One of the best in the Mandalay Bay, in my humbled opinion. The eggs Benedict is one of my favorite! Off the beaten path, and not for the budget conscious tourists…

I specifically chose this place because I wanted to try their white chocolate raspberry French Toast! They serve breakfast from 6am-2:30pm. They don’t take reservations. However, we are late risers and arrived around 1 – 1:30pm and it was dead, not busy at all. :-)
It looks really nice and fancy and is located shortly after you enter Mandalay Bay’s THE Hotel. I really want to stay at THE Hotel now because it looked so nice and I could just pop in at THE Café for breakfast.
The French Toast did not disappoint, it was amazing!!! It would’ve been nice if white chocolate had been drizzled on top and the raspberries infused within the French Toast. The raspberries were on the side and there were not a lot and a white chocolate flavor was infused in the French Toast. Still very good and my favorite breakfast of this last trip!
Also, I only ordered a regular coffee but it was delicious!!! It did not have the usual sour after taste that coffee has and it complimented the white chocolate French Toast very nicely.
My husband got a sausage, egg, and potato plate with 4 different types of sausages and they were all amazing!!!

Great service and delicious food! We enjoyed breakfast both mornings during our stay at the Mandalay Bay. Paul was our waiter on the first morning and the service that he offered us was superb! In fact, we enjoyed him so much that we requested to be seated in his section during our second dining experience on the following morning. Any and all requests were always taken with a smile.
On the first morning, I enjoyed the Two-​Egg breakfast with Bacon and a side of custard Pancakes. Absolutely delicious! Seriously, the pancakes are melt-​in-​your-​mouth heavenly!
The following morning, I chose the Rib-​Eye and Eggs with a side of custard Pancakes. Yet, another winner! The meat was juicy and tender as if it were prepared in a steak house.
So, if you’re looking for a delicious meal and dynamite service then The Café at theHotel is the best place to visit!

The 4 stars are for the food. Everything else was more of a 2 or 3 for me. For some reason, the atmosphere was a little awkward and the service was fairly slow, though we got seated really quickly. We spent a lot of time waiting on water refills, which was frustrating because we’re in the land of hangovers and I had a spicy dish.
There were no complaints around the table and with good reason! My huevos rancheros was fantastic! It was a combo of rancheros and verdes, which was a pleasant surprise by far. The sauces were great and the tortilla was a perfect combo between crunchy and soaked in deliciousness. The only thing I could have done without was the chorizo. With everything else going on, it wasn’t very spicy and didn’t really add much to the dish. Some sausage or bacon on the side would have been fine. My mouth is watering just thinking of this again. Next time, I’d add some sour cream and come even hungrier so I could enjoy the whole thing.

very good and fast made food. located in THEhotel so not far to walk for a good breakfast or lunch. If you are a member of American Express card, you receive 80 points staying at THEhotel or Mandalay Bay and 100 points at a spa which can get you ½ of a massage.

Need a break from over-​the-​top Vegas with all the noise, flashing lights and gallon sized margaritas? Perhaps you’re a bit hung over? Need a spot for a business breakfast?
If this describes you, and you have some cash (cause it ain’t cheap!) breakfast here is a great option. I did host a business breakfast here and found The Café to be a way better option than the loud, overcrowded spots in the Mandalay.
It’s dark, quiet and our server was professional. I opted for a berry bowl and my slight complaint was that the strawberries weren’t hulled very well. That aside, I would definitely return.

Straight up good, resort breakfast for the business traveler at reasonable prices.
Side note: Stop reading if your idea of breakfast in Vegas is 15 strips of bacon, a couple scoops of greasy fried country potatoes, and heaping of eggs scrambled in butter and heavy cream finished with a glass of OJ (for that serving of fruit). Nothing wrong with that, just remember the city’s slogan as you’re frantically searching for that special room a few hours later.
The ambiance is contemporary. Even the suit clad or dot com urban cowboy totes iPads and iPhones instead of printed WSJ or Financial Times. Service warm and unobtrusive. The food; the best breakfast on the Strip.
The custard pancakes with vanilla butter and macerated blueberries is outstanding. Warm, fluffy, and extremely moist. The pronounced vanilla works so well against the tart berries. The simple waffle with a warm, fresh fruit compote and the to die for maple mascarpone stays crisp to the very last bite. Finally the white chocolate raspberry brioche French toast topped with macadamia nuts and frangelico syrup; perfect. Rich, not too sweet, eggy goodness.
Heavier eaters should opt for the incredible in house cured salmon with its melt in your mouth goodness or the smoked pork benedicts. Pork with eggs and butter is the breakfast of champions right?
Portions are very large. Even the sides are huge. The bone in ham easily 6oz. The three strips of extremely thick cut, crispy broiled bacon 4oz.
Around $ 20 per person, a real bargain for the quality and quantity.

During my last visit at THEhotel, we opted to stop by here for our last brunch. We finally found a place that had no wait and quick service. Too bad it was our last day!
The bacon, tomato and Brie cheese sandwich was awesome. The tomato soup was a bit on the sour side, but still went well with the sandwich. The pancakes were fluffy and the warm syrup added a nice touch.
I kinda like fries. And what surprised me here were their TRUFFLE FRIES. They rate up there with some of the best I’ve had. Thin, crunchy on the outside, perfectly flavored, and plentiful… I would come back just for them.

Once again, my gf and I had a tremendous time here during lunch today. The aged angus truffle burger with truffle fries was amazing. Medium rare, truffle oil, etc… soooo bomb! They weren’t stingy with the fries either.
The assorted breads were hot and new too. The service was an A! Basically every little piece of review on this place is 100%! Its a must go to place here no matter what.

The Café is slightly hidden from the main areas of Mandalay Bay, and when you see the breakfast prices you begin understand why they did so. $ 20 for a 2 egg breakfast with juice is kind of a splurge, but when I cook eggs at home, they don’t turn out nearly this good. These were probably the best eggs that I’ve ever had, and I don’t even like eggs that much! They give you about 5 or 6 different choices for a meat, and the Portuguese sausage is an excellent choice. I’m a little iffy on the potatoes, tho — not quite as crisp or tasty as I would like, but it’s still an awesome breakfast. Your bread comes with jam served in tiny jars, since the Smuckers plastic container with the peel-​back lid isn’t fancy enough for The Café. It’s impossible to wrong with the 2 egg breakfast, but the smoked salmon platter also sounded amazing.
Breakfast and lunch only — no dinner. If you’re hungry and staying at The Hotel, run downstairs to The Café for a yummy breakfast.
