I wanted pie. I like the pies at Marie Calendars. This is the only reason I chose to eat lunch here.
I ordered two veggie items from their "light" menu. The image of the pasta shell and veggies made it look like it was 2/3rd veggies and 1/3rd pasta. The item that arrived was 4/5th pasta and 1/5 veggie, and very oil-heavy. Those few veggies present looked like "dwarf-veggies" -- imagine carrots but much smaller. Same with other veggies. There was a thin pool of oil and over half of the pasta remained in this dish before I stopped eating it. I'd bet local, repeat customers prefer pasta.
I also ordered a salad, but the lettuce was the most wilted I've had in a salad in Las Vegas in this last trip. Veggies also suffered from looking less than crisp, and limp.
The only saving grace was the pie. It was delicious.
If I am to return here, it will only be for pie and tea -- I'll eat the meal somewhere else.
Food prepared at other Marie Calendars (outside Las vegas) does not suffer like this. it is possible all Las Vegas Marie Calendars have similar quality, but I didn't visit them.
If not for the pie, this place would get 1 star.
