I am rating this a 2 because of the service and how I feel we were treated. I booked Alexxaโs almost 2 months in advance for my daughterโs birthday brunch spot. I booked for 25 guest and was told that they could accommodate us & we would be seated near the noon DJ that would be there that day. Our reservation was for 12:15PM on 9/14. I arrived to the restaurant around 11:45 AM so that I could make sure they knew we were there. We had about a 15 minute wait to be seated. The seating manager then took us to our tables which were 2 together in the back & the 3rd one in front of it but all separated by a plant/tree border wall. I was told that was the only way they could seat us due to the size of our party. Immediately I asked to speak to a different manager because this wouldnโt work for me to be the host and for all of our party to be separated like that with the birthday girl at a totally different table and us having to communicate with each other through the border of plants and trees and us her parents not even be at the same table she was at. I was told that was all they could do even when we were sitting in a row where several tables were empty. I asked and pleaded with the female manager to move us all together and they just gave excuse after excuse. It wasnโt until she realized per her words that I was disappointed and unhappy that she sat another party at the same tables in the row we were in that looked different from us (if you get what Iโm saying) down then she decided after us being there not ordering food and refusing to order that she attempted to accommodate us. We had to then wait for another party seated at the back where the other 2 tables of people from our party wereto get up, move, & for them to clean that table for us to all be together. I let her know that was totally unacceptable when we could have all started out together from the start and that we werenโt even sitting where the person who took my reservation said we would be sitting near the DJ. She said she didnโt look at the notes in my reservation to see that but did say that she saw how disappointed I was in the seating arrangements and decided then it was time to do something about it. The servers who were serving us looked totally annoyed each time we had a question as if we were bothering them. Just an overall bad experience for a place highly sought after for my daughterโs birthday brunch celebration. We wonโt be returning and hope that someone from upper management takes a look at this so that nobody elseโs celebration gets ruined this way. All of my party were totally disappointed. My husband who is a restaurant manager even said something to the manager. He told her that even if they had to separate us at least make sure we were all seated near each other! A really bad experience for such a special celebration and a first time in Vegas. We were left pleading with management for well over 30 minutes....

If youโre looking for an incredible dining experience in Las Vegas, look no further than Alexxaโs. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The restaurantโs stunning location, overlooking the Bellagio Fountains, only adds to the charmโespecially if you can snag a seat on the patio!
Now, letโs talk about the food because WOWโevery single dish we ordered was absolutely phenomenal! We started with the balloon bread, and it was easily one of the most memorable appetizers Iโve ever had. The presentation alone was impressive, with the perfectly puffed bread arriving at the table alongside a flavorful dip that complemented it beautifully. The texture was light, airy, and slightly crispy on the outside, making every bite pure perfection.
Next up was the meatball, and let me tell you, this is not just any ordinary meatball. It was massive, cooked to perfection, and smothered in a rich, velvety marinara sauce that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The seasoning was spot on, and the balance of flavorsโgarlic, herbs, a hint of spiceโmade it one of the best Iโve ever had. It was so good that I was tempted to order another one!
But the real star of the show? The lasagna. Hands down, this was the highlight of the meal. Layer upon layer of perfectly cooked pasta, creamy ricotta, savory meat sauce, and just the right amount of melted cheese. Each bite was a decadent, comforting experience, and you could tell this was made with care and high-quality ingredients. It was the kind of dish you savor slowly because you donโt want it to end!
Beyond the food, the service was absolutely outstanding, and we have to give a huge shoutout to Brad, our server. He was hands down the best server weโve ever hadโattentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and made sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Itโs rare to come across someone who truly goes above and beyond, but Brad did just that, and it made our visit all the more memorable.
The cocktails were also top-notch, perfectly balanced, and refreshing. Whether youโre looking for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a fun night out with friends, Alexxaโs is the perfect spot.
Overall, this was one of the best meals Iโve had in Vegas, and I cannot recommend it enough. If youโre visiting the Strip, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Alexxaโsโand ask for Brad! Five stars...
ย ย ย Read moreIโm going to jump right in and say this was 5 Star food, but the drinks we ordered were some of the most disgusting drinks we had all week. I had the BOULEVARDIER - Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Aperol, Carpano Antica, Montenegro Amaro Float, Lemon Peel. It tasted the way concrete stripping chemicals smell, what a waste of Buffalo Trace! My wife had the DESERT SMASH - The Gardener Gin, Fresh Blackberries, Rosemary, Agave, Fresh Lime Juice. Her drink was much better than mine, but I wouldnโt order her drink again either. Onto the foodโฆ
We started with salads, we ordered the Italian Chopped Salad w/ Tricolor Greens, Artichokes, Cherry Tomatoes, Pepperoncini, Sweety Peps, Garbanzos, Salumi, Fontina, Oregano Vinaigrette. This is going to sound crazy, but this salad was one of the most exciting food experiences for us for one simple reason - we discovered Sweety Peps, more commonly known as Biquinho Chile Peppers, Little Beak Peppers, or tear drop peppers. These are native to Peru and Brazil, the market for them isnโt well established on the east coast. As soon as we got home we ordered the seeds for our vegetable garden!
My wife ordered the WILD MUSHROOM AGNOLOTTI - Parmesan Fonduta, Molica, Aged Balsamic. My god the pasta was pillowy perfection, the mushrooms and accompanying sauce were phenomenalโฆ every bite was divine. Thereโs no other word for itโฆ divine.
I ordered ALEXXAโS CHICKEN PARMESAN - Marinara, Vodka, Pesto, Choice of Pasta. Yes, the chicken parm comes covered in three sauces, and yes itโs a HUGE portion, easily 15 ounces. See the pics, every bite was Italian sauce heaven. The breading on the chicken was flavorful and fried to perfection. The pesto was a nice refresher for the palate between bites of marinara and vodka sauceโฆ truly out of this world! The spaghetti was served on the side and sauced perfectly.
Other than the $hit bourbon cocktail, this was the best dining experience of the week. Do NOT fall for the celebrity chef restaurants in Vegas, they all suck, if you follow them on The Food Networkโs channel and recipes, you will be sorely disappointed. Save your money and time, and visit Alexxaโs. Iโm convinced itโs one of the top 3 restaurants on the strip!
Seriously, we spent thousands on food in Vegas learning where to eat and where to avoid so you donโt have to. Skip Ramsey, Emerilโs Delmonico, etcโฆ make Alexxaโs your first stop, you can...
