| - We've lived in Vegas for almost 15 years. We go to the Strip often, but, we never ate at Serendipity. No real reason for that, we have noticed the long lines for the restaurant on many occasions. We went there on Monday at 11:30 am for lunch. We had made reservations after reading Yelp reviews talking about having to frequently wait for a table. At no time did we incur rude service. Everybody was friendly. We are used to Strip prices, so we weren't shocked by $15 sandwiches. They did come with fries or for a $1 more, sweet potato fries.
We were starving. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza as other people nearby had them and they looked good. It was quite good, didn't realize it was made with BBQ sauce but there was plenty of cheese and the crust was very good.
The wife had a chicken sandwich and said it was very good. It was good sized. The sweet potato fries were probably the best we have ever had. They were cooked long enough where they were crisp. Plus, they put cinnamon on them. I had the Rueben sandwich. The corn beef was exceptionally lean and the rye bread was very good. I wish it would have had a little more sauerkraut on it, but that was minor.
For dessert, we got a piece of red velvet cake to go. It was $14, way too much for my taste. It was very good. We did take a little more than half of our food home with us in the best carry-out containers we have ever seen.
We didn't have the frozen hot chocolate, just because paying $11 seemed like an excess we couldn't take. I wish I hadn't paid the $4 upcharge to get four onion rings instead of the fries. The rings are heavily coated with parmesan cheese. We love onion rings, but these just didn't cut the mustard.
BOTTOM LINE: The food was very good. The wait person was very friendly. Unfortunately, you can't be in a hurry to get your food. Our wait person was working hard, but it took an extremely long time to get our meal. The follow-up wasn't great, but not terrible. Perhaps they should consider having some food runners. The food was served at a good temperature, it just took forever. All desserts that we saw were MASSIVE!
