I ended up at Della's Kitchen with Michael U. after a disappointing attempt at brunch elsewhere. It's a cute 'farm-to-table' style restaurant open to the walkway from Mandalay Bay to the new The Delano. I certainly think this was a win in the breakfast in Vegas department.
You may wish to refer to Michael U's review for all the facts and details on the restaurant as well as pics. What follows is my opinion. We ordered quite a few items and split them all. Coffee, the pecan roll ($6), the biscuits ($5), the custard pancake, chicken and waffles, cinnamon raisin french toast, and the croque madame. The saddest dish was the croque madame. Suffering from not really being assembled properly,the bread became a burden and the mornay was lost on just Ok ham.
The biscuits were very good. 3 mini salty, flaky, buttery. They had cheese, scallions, and bacon, but were not described as such in the menu. Despite their tasty flake, I still felt they needed butter and was happy they served whipped butter with our pastries.
The pecan roll was stellar. I knew it would be amazing as soon as we cut into it. Tons or pecans, flaky, buttery, gooey. it had great texture and flavor.
The pancake was good. Nothing to write home about, but it was done well! It would have been better had they served anything but the syrup they gave us. Hell, even warm up the fake syrup and it would have helped. But seriously, if they want to be farm to table. Step it up and get the real maple syrup.
The french toast was better. I didn't notice any raisins and that was really a plus for me. That and the caramelized bananas with pecans that topped the custard soaked bread slices made this really tasty. Again, it would have been improved had the syrup been upgraded.
The chicken and waffles were forgettable. Each ingredient was good on it's own and worked together, but nothing shined save the good bacon.
There a quite a few other menu items I'd like to try as the menu looked good all around.
I found the service to be very acceptable and enjoyed the good coffee. I wished the water glasses were larger and thought the dishes were adorable. Overall, this was a win for breakfast with SO many just blah or super expensive places for breakfast, Della's was good and hearty and I recommend it.
