Veranda - Las Vegas

Veranda is one of our favorite places for buffet brunch. Not large like other hotels, but enough choices with extremely well made food. Reasonable price for a Four Seasons restaurant. Includes juice and coffee or tea. Make sure you have the homemade donuts for dessert.

FOOD excellent breakfast! The best breakfast I've had in Vegas. Period! Great eggs. Great pancakes. Great toast. And great huevos rancheros. (Oh excellent bacon too! AMBIENCE Nothing special. Just fine. We sat inside, not sure if there is a patio. But inside there are no windows, no view. So just a standard room. SERVICE Excellent. Very attentive and everyone was polite VALUE It's Vegas, everything is expensive. I honestly dont look at the for food when I come to Vegas anymore. It just ruins the experience : So it just is what it is. Priced at the same point as all the high end strip hotels. So can't call it “value” but at least here you're getting GREAT food vs Bellagio Cafe (totally average or below average or other hotels.

The scones were excellent. The sandwiches were mediocre at best the pear and brie sandwich was on bread so dry it came across as stale (or perhaps it was stale). My dining companion complained about the stale bread and was brough fresh sandwiches but they were the same! The desserts were ok; the chocolate cup design was cute and the dark chocolate shell tasty. For $85 we expected better food from a Four Seasons. Will not come again. Also, we heard about this event from Smith Center, which billed it as including live music. There was no live music. Bad communication from the Smith Center. Four Seasons did validate our valet parking ticket so we didn 't have to pay the $22 fee.

A needle in a haystack...is the only way this restaurant can be described. We were looking for a quick but decent lunch spot and we stumbled across this place. The only reason we ended up at the Mandalay Bay hotel is because we forgot to cash in a slot machine ticket from the night before. Needless to say, we were more lucky to find Veranda for lunch than we were at the slot machine that brought us there. Don't skip this place and try either the steak salad that my wife had or the tuna salad I ate every bite of.

The Veranda breakfast menu offers something special for everyone. I had the salmon and bagel plate one morning, and the eggs benedict the next. There were several other options I would have chosen had we stayed longer at the Four Seasons Hotel. The quality of ingredients and wonderful staff made it a pleasure to be off the strip and enjoy some quiet time.
