For whatever reason, on Saturday night Santa Fe Station closes the Feast Buffet at 9 P.M. It was 8:50 P.M., on a Saturday night, and I wanted to reward myself with a nice dinner. With the Feast Buffet closing, I stepped into another Station Casinos icon: The Grand Cafe. Unfortunately nothing about it is Grand.
The Grand Cafe of today trails behind the Grand Cafe of a few years past in value. With the exception of their daily special, the prices are inflated. Gone are the entrees that include a cup of soup. My dinner: fettuccine, bread, cream of mushroom soup, cola, and tip came to $17. For that price, I would prefer Olive Garden or Red Lobster.
There were a couple issues that caused me to lower the review by half a star. Far too much of the fettuccine was taken up by bread. Attention to beverage refills was slow.
My impression of the Grand Cafe is it is a convenient 24 hour restaurant to grab a bite in Santa Fe Station. And, if I am not mistaken, Grand Cafe is the go-to place for desserts in Santa Fe Station.
These are my recommendations for the Grand Cafe management to improve their restaurant. Offer more items, lower the pricing, include soup with all entrees, and provide better refill service on beverages.
