| - I went here after watching a series of nighttime fountain shows outside, and not wanting to worry about going somewhere about to close at 10pm.
Service was definitely 5 stars. William was personable and extremely professional. He definitely upholds the swanky Bellagio name.
I ordered the Tuscan chicken sandwich, which is wildly overpriced for what you get. You get pieces/medallions of chicken (some cooked perfectly, some a little dry), not an entire chicken breast. The ciabatta was fine, the pesto was tasty, and there was a massive amount of greens on the sandwich.
The French fries were extremely tasty, and the serving size was very generous. They seems to be bartered, and were served piping hot. These were actually the freshest (hottest) fries/potatoes I had this entire trip, including fries at Michael Mina Pub and Bouchon, and the hash browns at Tom's Urban. When I asked for extra ketchup I was provided with more than enough. The fries truly made the meal.
The cafe borders the conservatory, but it was all very dimly lit that late in the evening. It was quite calm, unlike the usual "crowded with tourists" energy of Bellagio, which made it relaxing. The carpeted and fabric-covered atmosphere was a little bit "fancy cafeteria" like (fancy 90's Luby's).
Eating the entire huge plate of French fries had me take half the sandwich as leftovers for the drive home (Signature at MGM had a fridge, and I had a cooler). William boxed it up very nicely, provided me with a set of plastic utensils, and packaged it in a nice plastic Bellagio-logo bag.
Service and the French fries bring the cafe to a 3.5, but I'm going to round down due to the utter disappointment of the expensive chicken sandwich.
