| - **Breakfast Review**
The Cafe at THEhotel is the best breakfast establishment in the Mandalay Bay complex. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a quality breakfast with large portions...but beware, as you might expect at a swanky hotel with a pretentious name, you will be shelling out big bucks for the privilege.
Food:
The food is straight up good and the star of both our visits. The build-your-own three-ingredient Omelet was huge and the ingredients fresh and plentiful. I went with the bacon, spinach, aged cheddar omelet both days and was very happy I did. The hash browns were excellent and not at all greasy and the bread was also very good.
Price:
The entrees are a little over what you would expect, but not much. It's the drinks that will kill you. For the price of one ~5oz. glass of Orange Juice, you would expect someone to grind the orange right in front of you...or something like that. No refills either. You're getting cha-chinged each time you want another thimble of OJ. Coffee and tea are also priced well above even what Starbucks charges.
Service:
Mediocre at best. We had a difficult time flagging down anyone if our drinks went dry or if we had a problem. Additionally, REVIEW YOUR BILL. We were charged for two coffees we never ordered. The server laughed off her mistake, but I didn't find it so funny at their prices.
Ambiance:
The restaurant's decor is very modern, with extremely high ceilings and open walls to the public walkway. You sort of feel on display, but you also feel like the people walking by are longing for the giant omelet in front of you. :)
So, if you are looking for a great breakfast at Mandalay Bay, but aren't afraid of paying high prices or being let down by service, The Cafe is THErestaurant at THEhotel to visit.
