| - FYI, I think their breakfast items are better than their dinner items :)
During my last trip to Vegas, I ate here twice (the second time, only because I had a free $50 meal credit to use), and both experiences were ... nothing extraordinary.
Please listen to other reviewers; if you are planning on eating here and will have access to a computer and printer, then go on restaurant.com! You can purchase a $25 gift certificate or $50 gift certificate for like $15 or something like that (obviously more for the $50 one).
[Dinner experience]
Our waiter seemed to be someone taken off the streets and was given a crash course in waitering prior to just serving us -- he wasn't well groomed, didn't seem friendly or did anything to make himself stand out, he just seemed very robotic.
Now, moving on to the food: for appetizers, we ordered chicken tenders for $12. The food description failed to mention that you only get three chicken strips, and that they're served on a bed of thin cut fries. Should have been listed as an entree instead, those chicken tenders were nothing special at all, and only three chicken pieces on top of that? How insulting!
My friend ordered the Grilled Cheese, and their choice of cheese for the childhood favorite is fontina ... which I thought was very ... interesting. He loves Grilled Cheese sandwiches though, so he loved it, and also loved the fact that it was served with a bowl of Tomato Soup. However, I tried his sandwich, and was not a fan of it at all, haha. The cheese was too tart for me? I don't know, but it definitely wasn't my forte.
I ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich; overall, it was okay. REALLLLY big sandwich though, I had to use a fork to eat some pieces of meat to make it easier to hold. Other than that, and realizing that there was no cheese on my sandwich, it was good. The meat could have been flavored so much better, though.
Total for all of that came to almost $60, what! Haha, it was a decent meal, but worth almost $60? Hell NO!
[Breakfast experience]
Probably because I never wake up early enough to enjoy a nice breakfast, I'm easily swayed to rate any breakfast experience a good one :)
Friend ordered some Banana-stuffed French Toast with some pecans thrown in there, and I had the ... Eggs Benedict (my favorite breakfast food!) Both were delicious, and the total for the meal was way more reasonable than our dinner from the previous night!
Overall, both experiences at Raffles were okay, but I have to ding a star because my waiter on the second trip there was really shady. He told me that I could use the rest of my $50 meal credit (given to me by Mandalay Bay staff) to tip him out, so I trusted and believed him, and upon checkout at the hotel, realized the guy lied to me and the staff was asking me to pay THEM (the hotel) the money I left in tip, which the waiter had already collected! But after explaining the situation to staff, they were able to take back the guys tip and I didn't have to pay anything, so I was happy.
