    steak frites
    Ashlee L.

    Wow I actually really enjoyed the steak frites. Huge portion size for the price ($39). Really worth it imo especially since everything on the strip is so expensive already. Steak was pretty tender, and I got it without the blue cheese. The truffle parmesan fries was so crispy and tasty too. Nice interior with lots of seating. Really solid option for hotel restaurant :) Server was really nice!

    As one of the dining options available to conference attendees at Mandalay Bay, Citizens attracted a steady stream of conference attendees throughout the day. During busy convention periods, however, the restaurant became overwhelmed by demand. On my visit, I waited approximately 40 minutes in line before reaching the counter. Unfortunately, long waits for restaurants were a common theme throughout the week for those looking for a quick meal or beverage between sessions. After the wait, I purchased a seasonal Strawberry Matcha Latte and a slice of pound cake. The latte offered a pleasant combination of sweet strawberry flavor and earthy matcha, making it a refreshing choice. The pound cake was moist and satisfying, pairing well with the drink for a light breakfast snack. Although the line was long, attendees maintained a calm demeanor during their wait. Chill crowd..

    Hit the spot after a long night at EDC. Got back to Mandalay at around 4 am and were glad to see this place was open for some very late-night meals. Ordered a nice iced coffee and got myself some nachos, and the wife got herself a teriyaki bowl. Happy to see a place open this late, but the service was bad; they looked over it, and it was like they did not want to be there, which I get, but why work those late hours? Food was not bad, or maybe it was; we were drunk, so everything tasted good, but as soon as we sobered up a bit, we tasted the difference. Nachos lacked taste, and the teriyaki tasted a bit burned. Of course, when you're drunk and coming back from EDC, this was a magical meal. I did go back another day for their iced coffee, and the service was better and the wait time was less; we waited about 40 mins for our food that night, but the next time I went, I got my coffee right away. I know food is probably made fresh, but 40 minutes is wild even that late. But I don't know; there's definitely room for improvement here, but I'm glad I got some food that late at night at Mandalay.

    Prime Rib Sandwich
    Dana M.

    Located inside Mandalay ..... the wait time was pretty quick (about 10 mins on a Saturday evening for a party of 8). Great service and our server was very attentive... thanks Alyssa! The food was ok.... I would highly recommend the Baja tacos or the prime rib sandwich. They also serve alcoholic beverages.

    Ultimate Breakfast*

    Went to Citizens Kitchen for breakfast lastt weekend, had to go back that Sunday morning since it was packed the Friday and Saturday beforehand. For a breakfast place in walking distance, this was the best one we could find. The prices were comparable to the alternative restaurants at the nearby hotels. All the breakfast entrees looked like the ultimate breakfast and Chilaquiles, homestyle servings. Had a few of the different coffee drinks they prepared, each one was delicious, hit the spot. The server and host were polite and quick to help us as a decently large party. The place was about packed when we finally got in, but the wait was only 5-10 minutes compared to the 2 hour waits the days before. If you're looking for a standard breakfast outing on the southern side of the strip, Citizens is good to go. I'd have no problem eating there again in the future on another Vegas trip!

    Baja Fish Tacos
    Melanie L.

    Hotel spot inside Mandalay. Quick seating and good service. Waiter was friendly but the person who ran our food out was like so so nice. 5/5 Chicken Cobb - they were out of iceberg and we subbed romaine. So good and generous with all the toppings. 4/5 Steak frites - steak was flavorful, perfectly medium rare topped with blue cheese crumbles vs an actual cheese crust. 5/5 Parmesan truffle fries - huge portions and crispy but well seasoned. 5/5 ranch dressing! The ranch is so good! 4/5 Baja fish tacos - sauce was amazing & the rice was also. Portions were great, prices were reasonable & service was good. Def a great spot to try!

    Grilled chicken & truffle fries
    Tasha F.

    In Las Vegas for a conference, which was held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. They have an option to sit in the restaurant and another to order something to go. The line to dine in moved quickly and we were able to get a seat at the bar. Their menu consists of all day breakfast items as well as lunch and dinner items. I opted for the Grilled Chicken Sandwich meal. Came with bacon & cheese and i opted out of the veggies and their classic sauce. Asked for honey mustard on the side, and upgraded my fries to truffle. Everything was so good.

    We stopped by on a Saturday night with a party of 7 and we were seated pretty quickly. We got the wagu burger and the prime rib sandwich with fries, Chicken tenders, and fish tacos. The portions are pretty big and everything tasted great. Elisa was very attentive and patient with us. She had great food suggestions since it was our first visit. We have no complaints. Thanks Elisa!

    Burger

    Decent place and has some really friendly service. Also convenient location near the casino and didn't require a rea which is a plus. Food is not bad just kind of mid. Def good for a convenient bite.

    Bagel for a lite appetite
    Nellie B.

    We enjoyed our breakfast here, before heading to the airport. The menu is large, and no doubt anyone with dietary restrictions (even self imposed) would find something to make do with. This seems like it might be the most not-crushingly expensive place to eat in Mandalay, but I'll tell ya, we probably would have eaten at the airport if we didn't have food credits from our room bookings. Imagine that! An airport having more reasonable prices than a resort casino, right? Anyhooo, food was decent, we had no wait to be seated, and our server was friendly and attentive. Adios Vegas Strip!

    Lox & Bagel Sandwich
    Jenna H.

    I went solo this round and sat at the bar for breakfast. I have to give a HUGE shout out to Elio the bartender. I was indecisive on the food and he gave me his recommendations. He was insanely kind. The place was busy but he kept ontop of it. Top notch dude! I got the bagel with lox. Yall..... it blew me away. I wasn't expecting much from the previous reviews but this has to be one of the best bagel with lox I've ever had. I got a plain bagel (usually offered with everything but I hate seeds). The bagel was not dry, lightly toasted, and delicious. For drinks I got the "not your 75" and "berry" something. The 75 says rose and lavender but I didn't taste much of that. It was still good. I ordered two. The berry one was very sweet, as expected. If you're a sweet person who likes a skewer of berries, this one's for you. Again... Elio you rock!

    Loco moco bowl
    Nancy T.

    This place is rather overpriced, but convenient if you're staying on the south end of the strip. The menu is decently extensive. We liked the fish and chips, as they came with two large pieces of fish. The loco moco wasn't great, as I couldn't taste the garlic in the rice as described and they smothered the entire dish in heavy teriyaki sauce, which made everything unnecessarily sweet. One of my kids really enjoyed the pepperoni flatbread, which is normally only available on the to go side, but they will make it for dine-in if you ask. I wish they had a kids' menu, as I had to order a side of the mac n cheese. At $14, the portion was way too big for my kid to finish and the nacho cheese had a bit of a spicy aftertaste. Lastly, the ambiance was really loud from the football game, although it was kind of entertaining. Not sure that I'd come back, considering the higher pricing and the food just being okay.

    Dined for lunch @ Citizens in Mandalay Bay Hotel. We waited for about 15 minutes in line and were seated a couple minutes after. Food was delicious! Restaurant was clean and service was very attentive and friendly.

    Overdone and an underdone poached egg.

    Brunch was delish! Sadelle's restaurant is a lot larger than it appears from the outside. Sadelle's…read moreis absolutely beautiful and clean. We had reservations, so we were seated very quickly. They have an amazing brunch deal for $44 which included a mimosa, entree (several choices to pick from), fruit and a pastry. Their coffee was very good. It was strong, but not bitter. We definitely needed a strong cup of coffee. The staff were great. Our waitress was the sweetest. Our food and drinks arrived to the table swiftly. If you want to have a good classy brunch in Vegas, I highly Sadelle's.

    Really nice breakfast!…read more We ate at Sadelle's this morning for the first time and it was excellent. We'd made a reservation, so our wait for a table was less than 5 minutes. We were seated with menus and our server was by quickly to great use and to take our drink order. We liked that they bring you a pot of coffee for your table. We were ready to order breakfast about 5 minutes later as follows: - Breakfast Sandwich (bacon, egg and cheese on toast) with Hashbrowns - Soft Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Hashbrowns and Toasted Bagel with Whipped Cream Cheese My wife enjoyed her breakfast sandwich. It was huge. She had it on sourdough toast lots of egg lots of bacon. Likewise, I enjoyed my "2 Eggs Any Way" breakfast with soft scrambled eggs, lots of bacon, hashbrowns, and a great toasted bagel. I actually couldn't eat it all. The service at breakfast was excellent. Our waiter was by many times checking in on us grabbing anything else we might need. We also didn't feel rushed at all and we took our time probably 45 minutes enjoying breakfast and discussing our planned day ahead. We've already made a reservation to return to Sadelle's in two days time.

The patio lakeside is recommended - best views of the Bellagio fountains - just know you may get wet from spray. Our service was fab & reminded me of old Vegas where hospitality was king & service was exceptional. There for Sunday brunch, the menu was balanced with fares appropriate for time of day & included avocado toast with korean crunch, blueberry croissants, french toast, burgers, chicken parm...it's a great menu & hard to choose from. For the strip prices were low, $22 for the burger with fries. It was cooked perfectly and fresh. Those fries are amazing!! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. As a local, finding a great eatery on the strip isn't easy & this is on the top of my list for meetups when friends come to town.

    Enjoyed an early birthday dinner here on a recent trip…read more Started off with the octopus salad, the octopus was very tender, with the citrus notes on the greens, and the chickpeas it worked very well together I had the veal Wienerschnitzel, the only concern with it was that the breading was not adhering to the veal - that's pretty minor, but a higher end, celebrity chef place - I don't expect a simple thing like a breading to trip things up. One of the drinks I tried was the Samurai Sword. Very well balanced, just a little sweetness, and not overly strong The service was very attentive, both the waitstaff and the runners, refilling drinks, bringing second sets of silverware before they take your first set with the appetizer plates Right now, the walkway in front of the Bellagio is closed at they build the grandstands for the F1 in November (closures through Christmas time), so people are looking to sit on the patio and watch the fountains, reserve if that is what you want

I had no idea it had expanded to Vegas, so naturally I had to make a stop. I went with the fried bologna sandwich, which is such a fun take on a very Southern, late night comfort food classic. The sandwich comes stacked with fried bologna, cheese, and potato chips for some extra crunch. It was rich, flavorful, and definitely filling. The fries were also really good. My meal landed somewhere in the $20 range, which is a little steep for a sandwich and fries, but considering the location on the Strip, I was not too surprised. I did not catch the name of the gentleman taking orders, but he was incredibly informative about the menu and provided great customer service, which I appreciated since it was my first visit. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I am glad I stumbled across the Vegas location. I definitely want to try more of the menu, although my next Turkey and the Wolf visit will most likely be back in New Orleans.
