Setting is beautiful, white, modern and romantic. We were at Cesar's to catch the Mariah Carey show and decided to try Mr Chow. We were first approached by the champagne cart guy, nice but talked too much the whole time. Like others have said there is a lot of interrupting that goes on by all the service folks, kinda exhausting. Anyway the food is just ok nothing spectacular and considering the price it was a bit on the disappointing side.
We ordered the prixe fix option, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and sides.
Ribs and walnut prawns to begin: both were a good portion and tasty (the chili sauce is great too)
Dungeness crab, filet mignon for mains: so the crab was very weird and not good, its crab meat mixed with egg whites and no flavor at all. The filet was just ok, needed more sauce or salt or something.
String beans in XO sauce, Bok Choy and brown rice with mushrooms: the string beans were excellent, the bok choy was overcooked and the brown rice was meh.
Overall most dishes lacked flavor I would order the string beans and walnut prawns again. Stay away from the crab not worth the upcharge or room in your stomach, bleh. Drinks are steep too $20 each and if you opt for a glass of champagne that can run you $40-$80!
I'm glad we tried it and we had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary so I can't say it was a bust.
