My two children and I went here for lunch after a trip
To the Discovery Children's Museum. I'm a Vegas native, and it's been fun to watch downtown start to come to life again in the past couple of years, so I was looking forward to trying MTO out.
We walked in, and the ambiance is very fresh, modern, open, and inviting. Service was great too... Everyone was very attentive. A nice plus too was that the kids each got a chocolate chip cookie for dessert for free. Another plus was that this place has the best ranch dressing we've ever had. Hands down. Our family loves ranch dressing, and at MTO it's made from scratch and so delish!
Now to why I have given MTO three stars instead of five. The menu was pretty limited. Granted, the kitchen looked small, so that could be the reason. The food was good, but not great. Not something I would drive downtown to seek out. The kids had the chicken finger kids meals. I had the chicken sandwich. I think it was called the Bob. The sandwich was just okay. The chicken was kind of dry. And, there was a big smear of chocolate on my sandwich. It was obvious that someone cut my sandwich in half with a knife used to also cut a dessert. I do love chocolate, but this turned my stomach a bit.
I also think MTO is a tad bit overpriced for what you get. For one sandwich, a water, and two kids meals it was $40 with a tip. I just don't think the food quite justified the cost. They do validate parking garage parking as well which is nice (pretty much your only option for parking), but when I left, I discovered that they only pay for one hour of parking. So I was in the garage, digging for change or my credit card to pay the balance that I wasn't expecting, with cars waiting behind me.
Was MTO great? No. Was it bad? No. I don't think I'd seek it out again, but wouldn't be opposed to eating there either if I was with a group of people who wanted to try it out.
