    We have steel cut oatmeal with dried fruits and avocado toast with an egg over easy.
    Brian C.

    Delightfully simple, elegant, and delicious. The over-easy egg elevated an already excellent avocado toast, the steel-cut oatmeal was comforting and expertly prepared, and the outstanding service by our waitress Chrissy made the entire experience feel special. A warm, memorable start to the day and a restaurant we would happily return to.

    Rainbow Roll and sashimi
    Eloy G.

    I ate here twice while staying at the Waldorf and I would stay while this is a very end hotel, the prices for food for the quality was not what I expected. I ordered a rainbow roll and some sashimi. While the roll and sashimi were good, it was not worth the 63.00 I spent for this two entrees with a glass of water. Additionally I ate breakfast here the next day and for the American breakfast with a coffee the price was $49.00. The highlight of course staying in a nice hotel was the service. The servers were always amazing, smiling and welcoming. The ambiance was just your typical hotel dining room with partial views. While I stay at this hotel once in a while, I will mostly like eat elsewhere next time.

    The friendly service, view of the Crystals mall, and convenience for anyone meeting or staying at the Waldorf Astoria are the highlights here. While the food isn't bad, there's definitely a premium added for the convenience. Oatmeal and blueberries will run you $20 here, for example, in a city known for deals on steak, shrimp, and prime rib.

    For a pricey & upscale place, I would expect a higher experience. The carpet floors were a little dirty, and the server station had broken cabinets. It was also annoying when the staff would slam the broken drawers and drop silverware at the station. Despite that, the staff was friendly. The Salmon Lox Bagel was delicious, and the Breakfast Burrito was well presented and delicious. I liked the little cuts of bell peppers and garnish to give the dish color. Overall, a bit pricey for what its worth.

    Classic omelette
    Krista V.

    We were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress was Kristy who was very nice and efficient. My spouse got the salmon with a toasted bagel deconstructed so I could eat the veggies. I ordered the classic omelette with added tomatoes. It was light, fluffy, and good flavor. It came with a tomato on the side with baked goat cheese also great and a fresh side salad dressed nicely. I ate all of it. All the staff were friendly. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. It's nice and bright with windows to see the strip.

    Tucked away on the third floor of Waldorf Astoria, Zen Kitchen is a peaceful oasis amid the Strip chaos--perfect after a family Vegas trip with the dog in tow. The modern space with courtyard views feels worlds away from the frenzy, and the service shines: attentive without hovering, even at brunch Had the seasonal maple latte--rich, creamy with perfect fall spice notes, not overly sweet--and the omelet (fluffy eggs loaded just right, fresh fillings). Both hit spot-on: latte warmed me up, omelet satisfied without heaviness. Portions ideal, quality shines through in every bite/sip. Fresh, seasonal American with subtle Zen twists (tuna poke on menu for next time). Prices fair for luxury hotel--worth it for the calm escape. Highly recommend; will return on future Vegas runs.

    It's quite sad that the actual "real" restaurant at the Waldorf closed down and this cafe style joint is the only food option available on the premises. We had a bunch of food credit through FHR and being Hilton Diamond so we ate here multiple times during our stay. Wagyu steak and eggs - it's ok but nothing to write home about Breakfast sandwich - I didn't like it but objectively speaking it's not bad Breakfast burrito - It's not what i would call an "authentic" breakfast burrito but it's not bad Salmon Bagel - probably the best breakfast/lunch item we tried We also ate here for dinner i'd say definitely don't do that unless you have food credit to burn. The sushi fish was decent but the rice was terrible.... overall it was a very mediocre and overpriced dinner.

    Miso Sea Bass, Wagu Fried Rice, and Chicken with chimichuri
    Yolanda F.

    Zen was conveniently located inside our hotel so we decided to go there for dinner. The wait staff was very courteous and attentive. We ordered the chicken, miso sea bass, and wagu fried rice. The food was flavorful, fresh, and fulfilling. Everything was delicious!

    Ellexus H.

    Came to have a glass of wine at lunch. Decided to share a club sandwich with my husband. The waiter split the sandwich and brought it on 2 separate plates. The lunch was delicious. The drink was yummy as well. I had a spritz. Excellent service. Nice quite lunch.

    Amazing quality Poached Eggs Benedict*
    Yazy C.

    Zen kitchen's breakfast is amazing! Kristy our server is the sweetest person! She is so attentive, easy to talk with and helped us out so much. She checked on us continuously, and our water was always filled. The food is sooo yummy. The eggs Benedict is always made perfectly. The eggs are definitely quality eggs. I highly recommend ordering the pancakes! They are fluffy and delicious!

    Zen, the in-house restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Las Vegas, was a convenient, quiet and very charming place to have a delicious meal off the crowded people streams of the strip. The interior was very modern, war-elegant, the service a bit slow and unresponsive, but the food was on point and definitely worth it.

    Chicken and waffles
    Fazle H.

    The chicken and waffles a d fried chicken are both very good. The chicken was dipped in what tastes like a pancake batter. Our server Erick is one of the people we remember from our last visit. He is a very nice and welcoming person and knows the menu items very well. It's a small hotel restaurant so it's. It very busy which is nice. You don't need to wait long for your order to arrive either.

    Food is yummy, service is amazing and ambiance is great. The best part of the meal was the professional service!

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

We were enjoying the music and it was a vibe until it came to pay the bill. At 9:30 PM, a full 30 minutes before the posted closing time of 10:00 PM, the staff began rushing us out while my wife was still eating. When it came time to pay our bill, our bank cards were temporarily unavailable due to a system outage. We had the money. This was not a financial issue. It was a technical one we were actively working to resolve. Instead of being given a moment, security surrounded our table and treated us as though we were attempting to leave without paying. We were not. We never attempted to leave. I want to note that a couple of the security members were actually kind and professional throughout. A manager then approached with immediate hostility white male, tattoos, wearing a white crop shirt, and beige pants) no introduction, and no interest in hearing our explanation. I want to Emphasize That everyone working there refused to give me his name (white male) I even attempted to ask him and he walked away. He made demeaning remarks about our finances and specifically told us that if we didn't pay, he would call the police and trespass us, but if we paid, he would not. We paid. My brother sent $30 via Zelle directly to a security staff member to settle the bill. It was paid in full. He called the police anyway. And trespassed us anyway. I had offered to leave my ID as collateral, leave card information on file, or return the next morning. Every offer was refused before we even got to that point. The responding officers acknowledged his behavior was inappropriate. His own staff was visibly uncomfortable. Unless you are prepared to be treated as a suspect over something completely outside your control, I would think twice before dining here.

The waitstaff were dressed very casual, jeans and t-shirt casual. Although the food is upscale, everything else about this place seems very casual diner like. We could even see most of the work going on in the small kitchen. Mostly shareable plates... Our table chose the deviled eggs with caviar - these were a hit! Dynamite shrimp, most at the table liked these, they were spicy and the flavor was decent, but I just felt like the sauce made the breading a bit soggy and it wasn't a favorite of mine. Pork Belly - This had a buffalo sauce on it, which I wasn't too excited about at first, but it worked better than I expected. Wish it was just a little crispier but it was tender and I enjoyed it. Oxtail risotto - this one had mixed reviews from the table, I really enjoyed it. The flavor was good. There's only a small amount of meat and it's shredded into the risotto. Overall the consistency was a little weird, very thick and almost sticky/dry, plus the dark color. They had a steak on the menu and the flavor was great, one of the pricier menu items but it was a good share. My wife ordered a burger without the bun. She said the patty was well over-cooked and so it was pretty dry. They don't offer gluten-free buns or bread - bummer. The service was generally prompt, but seemed uncoordinated at times. For example, it seemed our waitress was also handling a very large party outside on the patio, and randomly the hostess would bring us a drink refill (hostess stand was right beside our table). That's good in a way, they are all a team, but she also picked up my plate and silverware after only the first appetizer - mind you they bring everything out as it's ready, so don't expect the whole table to eat together, you are expected to share! When I asked if she could replace my silverware, she grabbed a fork and knife and handed to me, but they weren't rolled in a napkin or anything, just barehanded me some silverware... anyway, I thought that was odd. Overall, the food had some bright spots and perhaps worth a lunch if you are downtown. I probably wouldn't seek it out again, but I'm not mad about the meal we had either.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup.

Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal.
