Problem: I moved away for a year, and looked forward to eating here, but was disappointed, I'm wondering if the have changed ownership or are cutting corners??

Problem: We were visiting Las Vegas and a friend of ours recommended this place. I am so happy he did because the food was darn good and the price was so reasonable. My boyfriend and I ordered a few things from the menu to share...but the best dish was the palace pan roast...it was so GOOD!!! Absolutely loved it. Lobster, crab, chicken and sausage were what was in the pan roast, yummy!!! You can order the spiciness of the pan roast on a scale of 1-10. We ordered a six and it wasnt too spicy at all. So the next time we go back I think we will move up the spiciness scale to 7 or 8. We also ordered the clam chowder. The clam chowder was delicious. It definitley was one good bowl of clam chowder. The oysters were also delicious and there were all kinds of sauces for it. Beers were inexpensive too. If you ordered the 24 or 50 oz you can keep the glass and next time you bring the glass back to any restaurant at Palace Station you get half off for a refill. The reason why I docked off a star was the place is pretty tiny so there will always be a wait everytime you come. We waited a little over an hour to get seated but the line definitely got longer after we came. The staff was great. The chef was funny and joked around with us a lot. The only thing is that the place only had the chef and a waitress working so at times it took a while to get to us or clean out the empty seats. Overall it was worth the wait and I definitely will become a repeat customer.

Problem: I don't give out many one stars (you have to really fail to get that), but our trip to Cafe Bellagio = brunch fail. Since my friends and I were too hungry for crepes at Jean Philippe Patisserie but not hungry enough to tackle the buffet, our options for brunch at the Bellagio were rather limited. After wandering around the casino to check out any other alternatives, we ended up at Cafe Bellagio since the line was relatively short and they were able to sit our group of nine pretty quickly. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and it came with a decent amount of food - homemade corned beef hash, two poached eggs, hash browns, and choice of toast. The eggs and hash browns were fine, but the hash itself didn't do much for me. While their generosity with the amount of meat they used would usually be a good thing, it felt like I was eating a salty corned beef patty than an actual corned beef hash. Ironically, their attempts to make it a "hash" didn't help either, as the shreds of potato they threw in tasted a bit undercooked. Although I might have given the food two stars on its own, I'm giving a one because I thought the service wasn't entirely there...literally. After bringing out our food, our servers seemed to disappear for long stretches. We had to motion several times to get our bill and once we did get it, one of my friends had to practically hunt them down to give them our check. After what felt like 10-15 minutes, our server finally returned with our credit card and slips...but only the merchant copy (none for us to keep). Rather than wait around to ask for our copies, we just signed and left. Considering the quality of food and service, I'd rather take the $14 I spent on my "hash" and head over to Hash House for something bigger and better for the same price.

Problem: If you really are a experience foodie whom loves seafood, you are going to hate this place. I went with my Mom and Husband and we ordered the fried Alligator to start. It wasnt bad with the first bite but the longer it sat it turned into some weird texture. We love the Fried Alligator at Pappadeaux and was excited to have a restaurant closer to our homes that serves it. It looked different, taste different and really made us wonder what we were eating. For our Main dishes, I ordered the boiled shrimp, hubby had catfish, and mom the Etoufee. My shirmp looked good when they came, however when I went to eat them i noticed that there were not cleaned. You can see a clear sign of both veins in the top and bottom of the shirmp. Mind you I am a seafood junkie and I have had shrimp in Hawaii from a truck and prepared the same way and were cleaned. I told the manager about this and he said that they don't clean their shrimp nor did they have too. I sent them back and did not order anything else. My mom's Etouffee looked like a can of Cream of Chicken soup an jiggled like Jello. Matter of fact it was the exact color of Cream of Chicken soup. If you have never had Etouffee this might fly. However, I have had my first experience with Cajun Cusine in New Orleans, LA and none of this looked or tasted like Cajun cusine. Now to my husbands Catfish?? I really don't believe it was Catfish. It was shaped like Chicken Breast and the texture was totally different. Needless to say, I am a extreme foodie who dines out at least 4x a week or more. I love Cajun food and was so excited to have a place closer to my house than my favorite in West Phoenix, Pappadeaux's. However, besides this food not tasting good, it is a disgrace to everything that relates to Cajun Cuisine. We gladly left while not to mention the Manager, Bar Tender, and waitress all decided to go for a smoke break in the front of the restaurant while patrons were still eating. We said goodbye and never returned again.
