MIX @ THEhotel

03/18/2008 Posted by saraholly22

I went to Mix two weeks ago, March 8, 2008 with three of my friends. Everyone's meal was terrible. The gnocci was tasteless. I got the snapper, which was bland. I could have made a better meal in my own kitchen. The total bill came to $110 per person. I felt like I was robbed. Please avoid this place at all costs. I wouldn't send my worst enemy there!

Pros: Pretty place

Cons: FOOD!!!!

Late dinner. 12/28, Arrived a bit early and were asked to wait in the bar, drinks are expensive, but so is everyplace by the casino's in Vegas. The only trouble we had is the hostess did not come get us, so I had to check back in, the front desk staff could use a lesson on service. After we came back we were asked if we would like to be seated on deck, we decided to try it regardless of the cold weather. Pleanty of heaters and were offered blankets, so no worries. Wonderful view of the strip. We were promptly greated by our waiter who was very well versed on the chef and the menu. Had the gnocchi app which was perfect! main course was the lamb which was the best I have had to date. My significant other had the tenderloin with fois gras, I must admint I am not a fan of fois gras but this combo was fantastic. Reccomend the side of Mac and Cheese done with ham and guyre. Finished with a wonderful chocolate dome with a mango sorbet. Now this was a quiet night so we had the waiters full attention, service was prompt not overbearing. Price was not bad for a Vegas higher end place. $225 plus tip. I would say try it for a nice night out....bon appetit!

Pros: food, wait service

Cons: expensive but worth it

Really cool atmosphere but, that's about it. Had a reservation for 10 people--even called to confirm--but when we got there the table was only set for 8 people. Took FOREVER to get our drink orders in and even longer to get our food orders in. Food was average but the prices were ridiculous for the service and portions that we received. Chef sent out a little dessert tasting which was nice but by no means made up for the slow service and high prices. Will not be going back.

Pros: atmosphere

Cons: everything else

The service was extremely slow, our waiter rarely came by our table because he was too busy “trying” to be attentive to the table in front of ours. He must have thought that since that table was a larger group he would get a bigger tip but we overheard them griping about how horrible he was when they received the bill. Best of all, he had a snobbish attitude to go along with his slow service. I think he must have forgotten that he was a waiter and not a movie star. Sometimes you can ignore the service and still enjoy the food and atmosphere. In this case not so much. The food was mediocre in the presentation as well as the flavor. We read reviews about the food and that is why we chose to go but it’s just hype. There are tons of better restaurants in Las Vegas, don't waste your night out at this place…not to mention your money. I have not written a review yet but this place deserves the bad comment I am leaving!

Pros: The view

Cons: Everything

This is the LOUSIEST restaurant. If I were Alain Ducasse I would be ashamed and embarrassed to have my name on this place. I went here with my mom our first night in Vegas and were completely flabberghasted that a restaurant this bad could actually stay in business. The drink menu was terrible and completely uninspired...the drink i got tasted like cool aid mix. The food was completely forgetable except that i can't forget because it was so bad! I ordered fish that cost me close to 50 dollars and was the SMALLEST piece of fish covered in a huge amount of foam...so much foam i thought i was in a bathtub...and the foam certainly didn't taste any better than bath foam! Overall the food was TERRIBLE and HIGHLY overpriced, the service was BEYOND HORRIBLE...it was like they staff the place with every reject from every other failed restaurant...so horrible it makes me shiver...and our dessert tasted like strawberries taken out of the frozen food isle. DO NOT GO HERE and waste your money!

Pros: cool lighting and restaurant design

Cons: bad service, bad food, bad price

We are new Las Vegas locals. My wife and I went to Mix to celebrate our wedding anniversary, thinking that we were picking one of the best restaurants in town. Little did we know that we were making an awful mistake. The service was awful. We got a guy called George to wait on us. The dude was one of the most unfriendly and arrogant waiters we had ever encountered. The only reason I put up with him was so as not to spoil the evening for my wife. The food was not special at all. We have sampled some of the city's top tier restaurants, and we can safely say that Mix ranks at the bottom of the list for food and service. The view from the bar next door is great....so trash the restaurant and go to the bar around or after sunset....Thumbs down for Mix.

Pros: The view

Cons: Service, service, service...and the food was not spectacular....

MIX is a great trendy restaurant. I went here with some co-workers a couple of weeks ago and decided to have dinner here with friends while visiting LV. The food was great. Our waitress was very accomodating to us. I liked the seabass. Others had the bison steak. It has a great atmosphere and great views of the Las Vegas strip & airport. There are a couple of things they could fix. Parking is horrible. We went around the parking structure 5 or 6 times to no avail. We even stopped at the Valet and they quickly discounted us and pointed to the direction of self parking. When I arrived a little late, the hostess gave me attitude. She said your reservation is at 6:30 and you're the first one to check in. Well, my friends were at the bar. When someone is paying high prices, you don't need to be snooty when one is 10-20 or even 30 min late. I'd say that's a little rude. So the good things they had ... good wait service, good dining food was ruined by the training of host/hostess and they parking management. I would come back again but I'll read reviews first. If I hear more issues about service then I might go elsewhere.

Pros: Food, Wait staff

Cons: Highly priced, worst parking experience, snooty hostess

No, it's not fast food like McD, etc. Actually the food was quite good. The waiters are very effient. So much so that our $100 per person dinner took less than an hour. We felt like we were being rushed the entire time. Get at least 3 courses or you will leave hungry. Everything is shaped in a form like a little tuna can. Very trendy, but not filling. You can do much better elsewhere. Take the free elevator ride for the view and go somewhere else.

Pros: Trendy (is that a pro?)

Cons: Bad wait staff and most likely bad management

We live in LA and went to Las Vegas for New Years. As a special treat, my boyfriend treated me to dinner here. We looked at all the top restaurants in Vegas and decided on this - it was a tough decision since our favorite thing is to try great restaurants. We were not dissapointed - if only food can taste like this everyday! The pork loin was incredible!

Pros: Divine

Cons: Not for the penny pinchers

We went to Mix as a group of nine last Saturday. Seating was prompt, service was good, everyone was polite. Reflecting on the meal we agreed that the food was boring, yeap, boring. I had the duck and found the breast over cooked, the leg perfect. Others had salmon, lobster etc. Sadly nothing to write home about. We (I) thought the salad bowls were pretentious and the salad uninteresting. The wine list is extensive and actually on a positive note not as over priced as the food. The real problem came at the end of the meal. When we asked for seperate checks we were informed that the computer wasnt set up to do that, ouch, what a dumb computer programmer. So full of food and wine we were presented the bill and expected to seperate our own check. Nine people trying to add up their part of the check, estimating tip, tax and liquor that on a $1100 check. Nothing can bring you off a bit of a buzz faster than trying to seperate your part of the 18% tip. Shame on you MIX! Sitting on the toilet next to a floor to ceiling window doesnt make up for this gaff.

Pros: extensive wine list, the view (if you can get one)

Cons: so so food, no seperate checks.
