Marketplace Cafe can be a hidden gem for locals if the planets properly align. It's located on the 3rd floor of the Fashion Show Mall, which means depending on the time of year, it can be overrun with tourists. But if you go during the week and avoid peak lunch time, you're in for a treat!
I've never been disappointed with the food at Marketplace Cafe! My favorite dish is the Classic French Dip. I'm not exaggerating when I say that THIS IS THE BEST FRENCH DIP YOU'LL EVER HAVE IN YOUR LIFE! The warm roast beef paired with the sharp white cheddar on a Parmesan baguette is my idea of heaven. I could eat this sandwich every day of the week.
The service can be inconsistent every once in a while; it really just depends on the time of year and how busy they are. If you have the place to yourself, you shouldn't have any problems--and this is usually the case. But if they are busy, be prepared to wait a little longer than you might expect for your food, and the servers to take awhile to check on you.
Overall, if you want to experience the BEST French Dip in Las Vegas, or any other assortment of really hearty, wholesome dishes, Marketplace Cafe is a hidden gem that's definitely worth the effort of making your way through Fashion Show Mall!
