text: One of those cheap live show ticket places was doing a great deal by combining dinner and a show They offered us a significant discount on a packaged night that included tickets for Ka and a for meal at Nob Hill both at the MGM Grand Unfortunately Nob Hill was booked up as well as almost every other MGM Grand restaurant due to an Eagles concert so we had to settle for their Studio CafennFor dinner they had a wide variety of choices which is usually a bad sign Like most other casino cafes the food was overpriced while the portions were big and filling We did not get anything to start except for the complimentary bread We also skipped dessertmainly because they did not have much to offer I think they only had cupcakes for desserts I rarely see cupcakes on any restaurant menu and definitely very rarely see it as the star attractionnnI went with the grilled Wagyu Prime Rib I have had grilled prime rib before I used to work at a restaurant that made it and it seemed like a good option because it was both reasonably priced compared to the other stuff and would probably be at least okaynnThe prime rib was probably partroasted and then thrown on a grill to heat up The prime rib was somewhat tender but it was cooked closer to medium than medium rare I would imagine it would be difficult to get prime rib medium rare when you have to grill it Despite the Wagyu label the quality of the meat was not that great The flavor was not great eithernnThe sides included some mixed veggies as well as a loaded baked potato cheese sour cream bacon etc The sides were pretty averagennThe place was pretty busy Service was okay The food came out quick There were definitely spots when the service was inattentive Getting and paying for the bill also took longer than it should havennIve visited the cafes at Ballys Aria Caesars and now MGM Grand None of them were great experiences I have often had to dine at these cafes because the decision revolved around what was close and what was convenientnnThese cafes may be suitable for breakfast though some of the breakfast reviews for Studio Cafe are pretty bad While I may give a Vegas cafe another shot for breakfast I think I am going to avoid Vegas cafes for lunch and dinner moving forward They are just too overpriced for the below average food quality and typically lackluster service
