Recommend Il Fornaio for breakfast (I had eggs benedict).
Dinner was on par with Olive Garden at best. Ate at Chin Chin also, but would recommend the Grand Wok across the street at MGM. About the same price, but better quality.

The ratio of people to cake is too big.

Gallagher's Steakhouse, four of us agreed, "Not Again."
A couple weeks ago, early one Sunday evening around 7. We arrived for our reservation and were escorted to a four-top table laid out with the expected formal settings and a shaded [LED] candle at center. The room was lit in a general warm glow, dim but enough to read the printed menu. White linens and table cloth. Our table felt small and proved to be rather cramped once drinks, bread, and sides were all delivered. Immediately upon being seated we took notice that the noise level was uncomfortable. The room, with it's hard flooring and high ceiling, was hung corner to corner with framed photographs making it a very effective echo chamber.
I will not offer my opinion of the food as my taste is more for burgers or pizza. (In protest to the noise, I ordered the chicken.) One friend who has a more refined palate (and culinary training,) remarked that his meal was below what he was expecting.
The waiter dropped off the dessert menu, (it was not 'presented' as our main course menu had been.) None of us were truly interested in ordering a dessert but our friend (same one,) decided to have a look anyway. When he opened the dessert menu it was as if he had opened a portal to a world with at least three suns. Where the first menu of the evening had been paper, presented in it's tall padded folio, this one, though similar in outward appearance, contained a large tablet with a very bright screen. The light was so harsh that he only got it open about two inches before slamming it shut. "Last straw," you might say. We tried to convey our disgust to the waiter. He seemed to take it more as hyperbole, even opening the menu again as if to attempt an upsell. This was met with a reaction that could not be mistaken, our friend was pissed! After some backpedaling, and an apology for not warning us about the screen, he retreated to get the check.
The service was polite but only hinted at the higher attention to detail customarily offered from a higher end steakhouse. From past experiences, I had expected the very quiet room with waiters who almost whisper the featured dish.
["…but who can tell, we were all yelling!"]

Don't forget, "FREE" is a four letter word.
