| - I did not have a grand-time dining at Bellagio's Cafe. The outlook to the Conservatory & Botanical Garden did not make up for all of the mishaps that had taken place the night I decided to dine here.
This shabby 'diner' I should call it, is open 24 hours which is the only reason I came here, since most restaurants are not open around 1:30 am. The decor of Cafe Bellagio was as if Hollywood spruced up an IHOP! It was totally dated from the underdone upholstered chairs, to the faux marble gating separating the diners from the tourists which seemed to come from a cheap soap opera set.
THE STAFF -
Our first server was horrible, she was completely confused on the menu. I asked her politely if I could have a virgin Bella peach, which she confusingly replied with a "No, all of the drinks are PREMADE, so alcohol is already in there", which perplexed me; so - I ordered a water instead -out of distaste for their alcoholic menu. Our waitress then said she will order it anyways after I told her I only wanted water. It had passed over 20 minutes, and no drinks were flying out, I was ready to walk out and find a different restaurant, but our waitress ran out and yelled at me to sit down, because my drinks were coming. Does water take that long? Minutes later, our drinks come out, and the drink I did not order came as well.
We had to get a second waiter, which made our meal much more enjoyable.
THE FOOD -
I indeed got to order my Bella peach but after waiting that long, my drink still wasn't Virgin, but it was delicious, although, it was literally filled to the top with ice, and trickled with a splash of juice and vodka, if I recall, it was $14 for that?!
For appetizers, I ordered their French onion soup which had a toasted baguette and melted Gruyere cheese which was delicious, but my photos would say otherwise, unfortunately the easy soup was over-seasoned, although I did enjoy the caramelized onions.
For my main course, I ordered their Shrimp scampi which could have been better. The heirloom tomato's were watery and lacked flavor, the shrimps tasted like the bad shrimps at the bottom of the containers at Red Lobster, and to top it off, the Basmati rice was completely stale, Disgusting.
The meal was memorable, but for all the wrong reasons.
P.S. The only reason this place didn't receive 1 star, was because our second waiter was super sweet and cordial.
