A: So we normally have great service and food when we are here. Until tonight, the pizza was soggy and seemed to take a long time to come to our table. My eggplant arrived before both my sons pizza and husbands stromboli. What a drastic change from the norm. I think it will be a long time before we try novacento again

A: With all the good food around in Mandalay Bay, our expectations for Noodle Shop where high. Unfortunately, for the second time, we were disappointed. We tried it last year, and again this year. Their menu is varied and looks good. But the food we ordered was bland. This time, we had Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup). We eat lots of Pho in various cities, and this one just wasn't close. The only saving grace is they offer a shaved ice, with red beans and coconut milk. Yummy!! For this, we went back a couple times for dessert. But other than this, we do not recommend this place to our friends.

A: Thought I would try them out on Thanksgiving for an extra meal.. 2.00 charge for a To-Go order because it's a special..:(.. I guess this will be the only time I have food from here then ... The staff was friendly especially since they had to work on Thanksgiving.. But the company has lousy policies..

Q: positive

A:
Steak=astounding. I always order the filet. It's shockingly good. Be careful, though, the plates will give you a 2nd degree burn if you aren't careful. I had a scar for months from my run-in with one--apparently I have a pretty high pain threshold. The bread basket? If you aren't stuffed after being in the vicinity of one, I'm disappointed in you. The sides? Don't make me describe the macaroni and cheese, I start drooling uncontrollably and we both know that isn't attractive. The desserts? Three words: warm butter cake. Delish. But, did I mention the steaks? Oh mama.... The bar area is well-stocked with assorted older ladies who are looking for their freshly-pressed Hawaiian shirt wearing meal tickets, complete with a live band that sings "hits" from the 70s. Try to get a seat so you can watch the action on the dance floor from your table (or sit in one of the small tables that face the bar if you can't get enough Elton John or Barry Manilow in your life.) Super-entertaining. You can order the full-menu from the bar, if you decide to camp out there. It's pricey, but in my opinion, a lot better than many steakhouse options out there. Enjoy.
