Environment is nice. The food is very good... Lovely oyster and mussels. Service is on average. Recommend people should try this restaurant and must eat oyster.

We came here for dim sum after rave reviews from some trusted friends. Well.... eh. First, their "duck tongues". Supposed to be great. Frankly, they were like chicken feet. Nothing to them. Just bone (yes, there's a bone in the tongue). Not really the fault of Mekong Palace, of course. Just the nature of the duck tongue. But as for the rest, it was very strange. Pretty much everything we had tasted basically the same. Shumai, dumplings...everything. Tasted the same. Not that it tasted "bad". It didn't. But what's the point in a variety of things if they all taste basically the same? It was boring. Probably won't be coming back here.

Before the Las Vegas Great Santa Run, I had breakfast at Stewart + Ogden. It wasn't busy at all and the hostess took me to a seat immediately and gave me a menu. She came back quickly with a complimentary copy of the Review Journal for reading then or taking with me. My server came by the table quickly and asked about coffee and i soon had a hot cup of coffee on that cold morning. It was refilled several times in the time I was there. I ordred the fried green tomato Benny--eggs Benedict made a different way. The base is not an English muffin but two slices of green tomatoes, breaded and fried, topped with lump crab meat, and topped by two poached eggs and a remoulade sauce that had a nice zing. The Benny was served with a small field green salad. The breakfast was very good. I liked having a Benedict done a different way. The thing that got me about Stewart + Ogden was the staff. Everyone worked together. Although I had a server, not one person went by with a coffee pot that didn't stop to ask me if I needed a refill. Also, the staff were all very polite and pleasant people who seemed genuinely happy to have you in their restaurant. It was a very nice feeling. Stewart + Ogden is a little pricey--it's not your bargain breakfast, but if you're looking for something different and outstanding service, I recommend Stewart + & Ogden highly. Oh, and their menu stating the legend of this being near where Archibald Stewart and Peter Ogden once shared a meal is probably a made up legend for the new Downtown Grand. It sounds good, but it's unlikely!

Sat in the cafe (front portion of restaurant) and ordered off the cafe menu. We knew portions would be smaller, but a side dish of pasta for $22 is a little steep. I asked if the $16 caesar was a main course and was told it was a side dish for $16. Again, very steep for romaine and a little dressing. I saw the salad at the table next to us and it was nothing special. Our drinks were never refilled and a different server came to the table for drinks, ordering, food delivery, and check. Quite bizarre. Two small orders of spaghetti and 1 iced tea for $50 without tip.
