text: I am dumbfounded by the rave reviews for the food at Marrakech I have had better food in the employee dining room at Caesars Palace There are much better places in town to get middle eastern food maybe not Moroccan per se but do you really consider two withered beef kabobs jammed in a pineapple with a birthday candle on top MoroccannI did love the ambience here The room is cozy red plush sheikhchic like the inside of a Bedouin tent The bellydancer was really beautiful and very talented and danced for most of the meal The service was pretty good and the seats are comfy In short everything was going along great until the food arrivednOK maybe I do not know enough about Moroccan food I have only been to one other place that serves it but I was expecting more delicate spices and exotic sweetsavory blends grilled meats and interesting stuff like that What we got was white bread and shrimp scampi minestrone soup OK it is supposedly lentil soup but it tasted like Chef Boyardee to me a few pickled beets and olives with hummus and more white bread the aforementioned beef kabobs jammed into a decorative pineapple some sort of salty stewed chicked and potatoes and a GINORMOUS applebaklavapie thing that looked like it came from the bakery at Costco doused in powdered sugar and dumped unceremoniously on a plate I am kind of a foodie and this was not foodiefood this was food for people who are too busy ogling a bellydancer to care what they are stuffing into their salivating mawsnI had been wanting to come here for a long time and I was very disappointed For those seeking an Arabian Nightsvibe I would recommend Paymons over this any day although they do not have belly dancers so if that is the main draw for you then enjoy your white bread and Chef Boyardee but do not eat the pineapple they wash them and reuse them
