| - My review might be biased since I regularly go to the "real" Serendipity in New York. I was in Vegas on vacation and was excited to try the Nevada version of my favorite restaurant. My friend and I got there and waited about 30 minutes to be seated. Not too bad considering I once waited 2 hours for a table in NYC. We looked at the menu and were ready to order, but unfortunately, no waitress showed up for at least 20-25 minutes. Once the expression on my face showed I was slightly annoyed, a waitress came over and asked if we were being helped. We weren't. Strike one.
We had a coupon for a free Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, one of my favorite treats. Well....they brought it out and the first thing I noticed was that they did not use fresh whipped cream, it was Reddi-Wip. Also, it was a much smaller portion than Serendipity in New York. The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate wasn't made correctly..very watery. We didn't really drink it. Strike two.
The food was alright. I won't give them any strikes for that. I enjoyed my grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup.
We ordered our favorite New York desserts and again were slightly disappointed. I ordered the Coward's Portion Banana Split and the lady was in such a hurry, I didn't get to tell her which ice cream and toppings I wanted. The original location always asks me if I want to customize. Strike three.
Overall, the Las Vegas location is OKAY. It's not terrible, but if you LOVE Serendipity 3 in New York, I wouldn't recommend it. You'll just be disappointed. If you have never eaten at the original Serendipity 3, I'd say go for it! You probably won't know the difference and you'll have a good meal. Unfortunately, I found myself comparing the two locations the entire night. Again, it might be unfair to do so, but I simply don't believe this location lives up to that famous Serendipity 3 name.
