First fell in love with Max Brenner's in NY sometime last year and was absolutely elated when we found out they'd be opening one in Vegas. Car ride to Vegas much cheaper than a plane out to NY!
Made reservations ahead of time because we had expected it to be as busy as the NY establishment. To our surprise it was not at all packed. There was plenty of seating available both upstairs and downstairs.
The staff seemed a little green. They were not as friendly or confident as we are used to experiencing in most restaurants. Our waitress had trouble doing more than one thing at a time as well. They could easily fix this issue though.
We knew we wanted to get the Blackened Skirt Steak and Mushroom Quesadillas again! Man this dish is seriously a piece of heaven. The cheese, meat, mushrooms, and three different sauces all marry together into a mouthful of deliciousness! Our new course for this visit was the Pasta la Mancha. It was a decent dish, but nothing will ever satisfy our Max Brenner savory cravings like the quesadilla.
The place comes with desserts a plenty. We've tried the several of them and like the Melting Chocolate Cake Souffle the most. A number of different shakes to try as well. You can even buy several items and of sweets from the gift store inside. We snagged ourselves some Alice cups to take home.
Only 4 stars cause the decor and ambiance just wasn't like it was in NY. But don't get me wrong, we'll definitely make it a point to stop by at least once (if not more) every time we're in Vegas.
