Problem: Went to Pecan Grove when they first opened (two years ago?) and the lunch was okay and the pie was awesome. Returned for the second time last week and they must have sold the place to an owner who doesn't care. Just ordered pie (lemon). Very small serving and tasteless. There were only two of us and it took three wait staff to deliver our pie and coffee. We had to give the order a second time to a different waiter. We then had a third waiter who brought our check and they had to ask us what we ordered. I took a whole pie home to my husband (French Apple). It was AWFUL!! A tasteless crust, a few puny slices of Apple and a pile of loose sugar thrown on top. We shared one piece and threw out the remainder. A grocery store pie looks gourmet in comparison. Never again. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they are still in business . . . Probably not for long.

Problem: only gave 2nd star because I was here with wife on a biz trip - and it seems that they have function facilities, that are at least functional... Staff has been rude or non-existent at every turn. The place is gigantic - and it ALL LOOKS THE SAME (blah 1970's tan stucco) - so I spend half my time outside lost and asking for directions (see rude staff). I came here to work out of the hotel room and get a little sun at the tail end of a hard New England winter - and the sun has cooperated - but little else has... If I were spending my own money, I would be super pissed. My recommendation is to avoid this place like the plague - have stayed at Hyatt Gainey Ranch and Phoenician for similar $$$ - and never thought once about writing a bad review... I'd be surprised if this place was stil in business 5 years from now...

Problem: (Disclaimer: My 5 star rating is based solely on their desserts. I have yet to try the regular breakfast/brunch or lunch menus but will probably order their kobe burger next time!) D and I make it a habit to have dessert at Max Brenner every time we find ourselves in Vegas. We first discovered the bald man about 3-4 years ago in NY and we were glad when they finally opened a location in Vegas. I am a creature of habit and always end up ordering the Melting Chocolate Truffle Heart but since we came here on New Year's Day , I figured it's time to try something new! I went for their S'mores Concoction presented in a medium sized bowl with 4 layers of goodness inside it: The bottom had melted milk chocolate, followed by graham crackers, gooey marshmallows, white chocolate shavings and topped with about a cup of whipped cream! It was served with a beaker of caramel sauce, chopped caramelized bananas and a miniature s'more with roasted marshmallows on top. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/max-brenner-las-vegas?select=egv15WxbaIEGBMd-GcHpeg#egv15WxbaIEGBMd-GcHpeg I also ordered a double macchiato to go with my dessert. It was served in their adorable kangaroo cup with melting milk chocolate. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/max-brenner-las-vegas?select=20OlMay5TIwHZRsL3pLh9g#20OlMay5TIwHZRsL3pLh9g D had the Hazelnut Cream Banana Toffee Crepe that was generously filled with hazelnut cream, milk chocolate ganache and pieces of crunchy chocolate wafer balls. There was actually more filling than crepe! Lol And it came with a side of caramel ice cream and more chocolate wafers. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/max-brenner-las-vegas?select=_VPtlHLOviy8ApUCn6sgmg#_VPtlHLOviy8ApUCn6sgmg 2 pitchers of iced water later, we started to feel lightheaded but giddy and happy after indulging in all that sugar. As always, Max Brenner never disappoints =)

Problem: you get what you pay for good price on pho but the broth is like soup mix water and they give you very little brisket , plus make up the short basil with greens that suck you can always tell if its bone made broth instead of mix. I haven't even looked at the sandwich or rolls yet . all well that's delivery . im going to stick with saigon 8 on eastern and the guy couldn't understand my English on the phone made me text the order then texted it back wrong. I even asked for extra basile got like 2 sprigs total. they exist off poor college students they don't care about quality.. edit time . jumped back on after opening my rolls and sandwich . didn't think it could get worse. pork grilled sand was terrible . the bread is old , i mean old . NO veggies if it wasn't delivery I would walk up to the counter a say waz up. the spring roll had a old smelly piece of shrimp and nothing but iceberg lettuce in it UNBELIEVABLE ! the egg rolls were like mini chinese burritos deep fried pressed crap . BOY THEY SCREWED ME ! I give this place a year tops even with those poor students across the street. my dog wouldn't eat it and she will eat anything.
