This is my favorite restaurant in Vegas. It's gorgeous with an intimate atmosphere, the food is delicious, the staff is always amazing, and you cannot beat the prices for the quality. I have been five times and have tried numerous dishes and all have been great. My absolute favorite is the gnocchi though- they are heavenly pillows and have a generous protein portion! read more

1 star Really disappointing experience at Crush at MGM, especially for what should have been a special birthday dinner. The biggest issue started with the menu, it listed halibut, which is exactly what I came for, only to be told it's "not in season." If that's the case, why is it still on the menu? It set the tone for the rest of the evening. Drinks were average at best. My wife's entrée came out overcooked, and my substitute dish (sea bass, since the halibut wasn't actually available) was honestly terrible. The portion was maybe 3 ounces--shockingly small for the price point. I follow a keto diet and specifically asked for melted butter, which the staff did provide. However, the fish arrived covered in a sauce that was never mentioned on the menu. I was told it had no sugar or carbs, but it clearly tasted sweet. After one bite, I didn't feel comfortable continuing and had to leave most of the dish untouched. For a $200+ meal, this was a complete miss--poor execution, lack of transparency on the menu, and overall not worth it. Definitely not the kind of experience you want when celebrating a birthday. read more

This place is very bad for the prices. First of all food is generic at best there is nothing special about it. The service is bad. Our waiter tried to upsell us. The water we got had floating prices of something in it. Food had no taste. Pizza was cold. Overall the worst food experience while we were in Las Vegas. Save your money: OH YEAH AND THE WHOLE RESTAURANT SMELLS LIKE SMOKE. THEY BEED TO FIX THEIR VENTILATION. read more

Restaurant is large and spacious. Decor is clean and modern. Staff was very attentive and friendly. We ordered: 1. Old fashioned: great cocktail, hint of sweetness 2. Crispy shrimp: Excellent, crisp breading 3. Shortrib taco: Excellent texture and flavor 4. Cheesesteak dumplings: interesting twist, very tasty 5. Ahi tuna: fresh, excellent 6. Artisan pepperoni pizza: crispy crust, excellent pizza with great toppings 7. Ribeye steak (med-rare): perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, with the best fries 8. Cheesecake: rich, creamy cheesecake 9. Tiramisu: decent tiramisu TLDR: Excellent service, excellent food, excellent establishment, special occassion value. Would recommend! read more

Went to dinner with my work while we were Vegas and chose Crush for dinner. Nice place that felt cozy. The servers were nice and friendly. They were really attentive on her we were doing at the tables and getting our drinks refilled. The food was good and the presentation was making the food look appealing. It was a nice menu selection. Looking for a good Dinner at MGM Grand, this is a place to go. read more

Good food, good service! I was dressed super casual (gym clothes basically) after taking a walk on the strip. I wanted to eat somewhere good but didn't want to change clothes. I was able to tuck away in a booth on the side, watch tv on my phone and have a nice meal by myself. It was perfect! The short rib gnocchi was fabulous. Not your typical gnocchi. It had a bit of a crust of the outside and soft inside which made it very unique. I really enjoyed it. I also had the Brussel sprouts. If you like your sprouts crispy, I don't recommend these. They were just okay. Like all Vegas restaurants prices were not cheap but could have been worse. read more

A perfectly fine restaurant in MGM Grand. Portion sizes are decent, food tastes pretty good, and service is friendly/quick. Nothing is necessarily exceptional though. My main problem is that this spot is very expensive -- $48 for chicken parmesan, over $20 for cocktails, etc. I feel like the casualness of the plating plus the taste don't measure up to the cost. read more

Classy restaurant, chic decor, and strong craft drinks. The restaurant is actually bigger once you step inside. There's a whole back area with 2 bars. I sat in the furthest part of the establishment and had a great view of the bar TVs and cute decor. The lychee martini was delicious & strong! I ate all of my gnocchi and braised beef and even took a desert back to my room. read more

Crush did not "crush" it for me. It's a beautiful restaurant at the MGM Grand, close to the casino floor. The service is okay. He was attentive and quick but definitely didn't go above and beyond to make recommendations or even ask if we wanted dessert. The food. The Italian sausage pizza looked like it was a frozen truck stop pizza. The lobster rolls tasted like they were from CostCo. I do not recommend the dumpling starter - it's overpriced for how small they are, and it tastes like a mini beef hot pocket. Very greasy. Nothing here was "bad" but it wasn't good either. Definitely not Vegas good. I don't think we will be coming bad to this spot. read more

We had a later arrival than we e le red and cancelled our reservation. When we arrived they were happy to seat us. The restaurant is very pretty and away from the noisiest parts of the casino. Nice menu. It was late so we each had soup, the lemon chicken soup is really really good. The onion soup was also tasty. I also ordered the lobster mac and cheese, very rich for a late night snack! The burger was good too. It's not a fancy dining spot but very enjoyable! read more

Our group of 14 (in town for two big birthday celebrations) had a great evening and dining experience with John. He and his crew took excellent care of us as we enjoyed everything on the menu! Started the night with drinks and appetizers. The crispy shrimp with the spicy dipping sauce was my favorite. Dinner for me and the hubs was shrimp risotto (shrimp were so tender and flavorful!), lobster mac & cheese, French onion soup and the best Italian flat bread pizza with a spicy honey drizzle. Finished with the triple layered mousse cake with huge flakes of dark chocolate and shavings on top. It was AMAZING!!! Dinner was pricy but that's Vegas. It was a very memorable evening with great food and even better friends. read more

Restaurant setting is modern and inviting. Service was very good and friendly. The sirloin steak was excellent and the asparagus was very well cooked and seasoned. The truffle mashed potatoes were good but the poivre sauce was not enough. We shared the tiramisu which was not very tasty and the cream on top was not authentic in taste. The prices are somewhat "reasonable" given that this restaurant is in a 5 star hotel in Vegas. read more

Should've known when there was no one in the restaurant that there would be nothing at all special about it. It seems to have an identity crisis going on- is it American, Italian, or Greek? Everything we had was blah! Very confused about the burnt marks on the bun for the burger. Who wants to eat burnt bread? Yuck! So many other options at MGM - skip this place. read more

The staff was very accommodating and friendly. For the lower cost of the food, it was delicious. Additionally, the drinks were amazing. We did a round of green tea shots which went down very smooth. It was also a nice relaxing place to eat and enjoy the company of others. read more

The service was excellent and the ambiance is fantastic. However, for the price point, the quality of the food was disappointing. The cooking oils used appear to be a blended oil rather than pure extra virgin olive oil. Not a seed-oil-free environment, which was upsetting for an upscale restaurant. I was hoping for higher ingredient quality to match the atmosphere. read more

Really mediocre food at exorbitant prices. The ahi appetizer was great. Refreshing with mango and avocado. Everything else was average at best. Chicken Parmesan for over $30 with nothing else was dry and bland. No way way the sauce hand made. Risoto nice but dry. Fish was overcooked. Spent over $1500 on party of 12. complete waste of money. Not once did any drink get refilled without flagging someone down read more

My husband and I had dinner before our show last week. My husband ordered Chicken Parmesan and absolutely loved it. I ordered the Ahi Tuna and the combination of the sauces were very tasteful. Johnny was our server and he was exceptional, he payed attention to details like giving us fresh plates and utensils between meals which was a great bonus. The hostess with dark hair that evening was nice and welcomed us right in without a reservation. Ambiance was good. Great experience! read more

Super glad we were able to get seated here, without a reservation, at dinner time for our party of 6. Overall, good food and drinks (pricy though). The only negative was where we were seated - again we didn't have a res and got seated quick so we took what we could get and were grateful - it was a table that was connected but lower to the bar which was awkward. One side, you felt like you were behind the bar, and the other, since you're lower than the bar seats you end up staring at someone's bum the whole time. Odd. But again, good food and drinks and a short wait is hard to come by lately. I had the pepperoni pizza and hubs had the ricotta gnocchi, plus wine and whiskeys. Would like to revisit if we're staying in the MGM again and get a better table next time. read more

I can't find it in myself to recommend this restaurant. Of course it is overpriced because it is on the Strip in Las Vegas. Good things - our server was pretty good, and the restaurant was dark and pretty quiet (and escape from all the gambling chatter. But we went there to eat and that was nothing to write home about. I had a burger, medium, but it was soggy because the bun sat in "juices" meaning that I couldn't pick it up and eat it like a hamburger should be eaten - out comes a knife and fork and it was pretty bland. I hadn't read the menu properly and so was surprised that it came with a big pile of fries. Hence I had ordered a side on lobster Mac and cheese - it was light on lobster but did have a fishy taste. Difficult to recommend - not really 3 stars so I give then 2 Review #68 2023 and review #998 ever! read more

The arugula salad was much better than I expected. The bitter peppery arugula was balanced perfectly with the sweet hazelnuts and sweet/sour vinaigrette, with just the right amount of tiny Zante currants. The cold IPA paired well with the salad. The grilled shrimp had just the right amount of charring (tails crispy enough to eat) yet tender. The tomato-forward risotto was creamy with a hint of cheese, cooked all the way through. read more

We had a really unfortunate visit here recently. We came during the MGM Cyber Attack meltdown. And while some service lapses during that confusing time were to be expected, what happened here was just bad. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The place wasn't busy. Our server was friendly and quick to get drink orders and answer any questions we had about the menu. We have dined at most places at MGM Grand but not Crush, so we were really looking forward to this. The cheesesteak dumplings weren't bad, but not as interesting as the menu description alludes to. And at $23, they're overpriced. I'd skip these. I don't remember what else we ordered and it doesn't matter because we never received anything else. We had our appetizer and the server came over several times to fill up water and iced tea. But no food. We started looking around and noticed that no one in the restaurant seemed to have any food. That was curious. After sitting for 45 minutes, we finally decided that enough was enough and got up to leave. We were hungry and frustrated that no one was explaining or even acknowledging what was happening. We went to the hostess stand and asked to pay for what we had already "enjoyed". After checking with the kitchen, the hostess or manager came back and told us that there was no charge and apologized. We still don't know what happened. And honestly, we wouldn't have left or been unhappy if someone had just TOLD us that there was an issue. We understood that the MGM properties were all dealing with extraordinary challenges but just let us know that there is a problem and that the food is indeed coming out. Tell us that the computers are down and the kitchen is slow although that doesn't really explain why they can't make a burger. I can't imagine why our server didn't say something. Anything. So we left. Very disappointing all the way around. I suppose we'll give it another shot at some point as we like staying at MGM Grand, but we're in no hurry. read more

Decent food. Got the skinny dip alcoholic drink, Chilean sea bass and shrimp risotto with a side of truffle mashed potatoes. The sea bass was cooked just right and was soft and flaky. Shrimp risotto had really nice tomato flavor with basil. Truffle mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery. Our server made a suggestion for me to order the skinny dip. It met my expectations and the skinny dip was sweet and exactly what I wanted ! Would come again if I'm staying near MGM. read more

Party of 3 - we were seated promptly, and unfortunately right near the slots and casino area, so cigarette smell was strong and annoying. Server and assistant were attentive and wonderful. Food was disappointing, at best. My halibut was overcooked and dry, chicken Parmesan was worse than Stouffer's frozen, rigatoni with marinara was marginal. I agree with earlier opinion of Tiramisu - not impressive. We are Vegas locals and are used to high standards with so many available dining options. This was a surprising low. read more

The atmosphere was nice and the food was ok. I ordered a burger since I have so many food allergies. It was good, but a bit salty. My husband ordered the salmon and felt it was a little under cooked. The waitress, was less than friendly to us. While telling her no dairy since I'm lactose intolerant, she wouldn't look at me and barely acknowledged me. I smiled at her later when she walked by (trying to build rapport) and she not only didn't smile but looked irritated. Hopefully this is not a common occurrence. Perhaps this woman had an off day. read more

Service was impeccable. Staff were very attentive to all needs despite how busy it was. Dessert was top tier.

Before heading to the airport for a late flight, we stopped in here for a few small plates to share. We decided on the tomatoes and burrata, saganaki + ahi tuna. Our server was pleasant, efficient and we appreciated her attentiveness. Food was delicious and perfect for sharing. Inside the restaurant is a great open design with its own ambiance sprinkled in. It was quite loud but there is enough space between tables that it didn't bother us. Great spot and we'll definitely be back! read more

Crush is located inside of the MGM hotel and casino. The walk is not too far from the parking entrance. We dined with a party of 8. Our food came out pretty quickly for a party of that size. Keep in mind, you will have to put a credit card down to make a reservation. The drinks were nice and strong. The food was okay. I had a burger a fries but I'll post pictures from our table. The price point wasn't too bad. The lighting is low lit inside of the restaurant. Nice and quiet. Our server was on the money. I forgot to get his name but he took good care of us! read more

First time at Crush. The design of the restaurant catches your attention immediately with open oaths throughout and comfortable seating areas. The menu offers a nice variety of American classics. I had the shrimp risotto ($38) which had six perfectly cooked shrimp and a tomato, basil risotto with a deep rich flavor. The short rib ricotta gnocchi also looked spectacular from a nearby plate (that person literally cleaned his plate). My only criticism would be some of the prices. I know it's the strip but $78 for a top sirloin steak?? Crush is definitely worth checking out but look closely at the menu before going to make sure they have something in your price range. read more

Crush is located inside the MGM Grand. It's one of the few MGM Grand restaurants I hadn't eaten at yet. Keep in mind, I was very hungry. This was the last day of a poker (and business) trip and I had averaged one meal per day. On this day, it was about 6:30 p.m. and I had only had one slice of pizza and three beers throughout the day. I'm mentioning this because anything is going to taste good in this situation. I was really aiming for portion before my flight. I ate here because I saw pictures of the Chicken Parm and its portion size on Yelp Photos. It's not common I would order Italian food in a restaurant that also serves Greek food, but I needed the calories. The Chicken Parm was good, not great. But it did the trick based on my needs at the time. I wish there was bread though. An Italian meal in a restaurant without bread is pretty lame. Ambiance in this joint is excellent though. The lighting is dim and if you're traveling alone, you can eat at one of the two bars. I chose the back bar because most patrons likely don't know about it and it's less crowded. Service was good. She was very professional yet not very personable (in a polite way), which was fine. I was just hungry. For prices, the Chicken Parm was $34 and I had to pay an extra $8 for the Rigatoni, which is ludicrous. You only go here for the vibe and portion size, nothing else. It's not the best value at the MGM Grand. read more

I was invited to a networking dinner at Crush during a conference at the MGM. Normally for these types of dinners, you expect a moderately nice restaurant with standard fare. So I was pleasantly surprised when I was served my drinks and dinner at Crush. Unlike my typical reviews, I have less insight into the booking process, the service, or the price, so this review will be based solely on the quality of the food and drinks. I got the Ricotta Gnocchi with Beef Short Rib, and oh my, it was something else. The gnocchi was amazing, dense, and satisfying with an atypical *hint of sweetness. Then covered with a rich beef short rib ragu that complimented the gnocchi perfectly. In my picture the dish looks modest but trust me, you'll have a tough time finishing it. Along with my dinner I had one of their Old Fashioned's which was done right (there should be NO muddled fruit in an old fashioned and their bartender knows how the drink should be prepared). Not sure why this restaurant isn't sitting on a solid four stars, but I think that it's under rated. Casual dining, nice atmosphere. read more
