Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino

Amazing dining experience from beginning to end! Friendly and accommodating service throughout. Our favorite items were the foie gras, beef wellington, braised short rib, and the sticky toffee pudding. I was particularly impressed that some of the items such as the beef wellington and the sticky toffee pudding were distinctly superior here compared to where we had them before at the Pub & Grill. They weren't bad at the Pub & Grill, but were somewhat forgettable. I wasn't sure what the hype was regarding those items before but now I understand after having them at Hell's Kitchen. Would love to come back and will likely visit the Harrah's location near San Diego which is closer to home soon!

I love Mastro's Ocean Club, both in Las Vegas and Phoenix. They just know how to do steak right. Tonight I went with my standby, bone in ribeye and my dining companion had the petit fillet. Both were outstanding and perfectly cooked. She also had the mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. Both also very good. She finished up with the Butter Cake and said it was also very good. If I could fault one thing about nearly every Mastro's location, it's the noise level. You definitely don't go there for a quiet intimate dinner. This location is in the middle of the Crystal Shops at Aria, so basically in a mall. While it's not an overly busy mall, it is a mall. But the food is amazing, you'll definitely enjoy yourself, especially if you love steak!

Making a reservation was super easy on the app. I chose this restaurant because of their kid menu options. My kids are very picky and boring when it comes to food so I wanted basic options for them. The rest of our food was good but not blown away amazing. I would definitely eat here again and definitely would complete a reservation through the app again.

We were promptly seated. It was Valentine's Day night & the restaurant was very busy. We got a very nice table in the center circular room on the outside edge, next to glass with all the wine bottles on the racks. We appreciated being away from all the hustle & bustle. Very nice. ( Note: the last time here, we got a table at the kitchen entrance & it was a very unpleasant dining experience in such a fine establishment. Very busy, noisy & distracting; making it extremely difficult to relax, enjoy your food or any conversation.) Our waiter (Brad) introduced himself, gave us menus, took our drink orders. Soon after, our drinks arrived & I must say they were great! Wife had a special cocktail & I ordered a McCallan 12 (very generous pour!) We shared the Baby Iceberg Lettuce Salad (very good but a bit too much dressing). My wife ordered the Scallops entree & she loved it! I had the Chilled Shellfish Platter to go along with sips of my Scotch (it resulted in a fabulous pairing). The raw Oysters & Clams were exquisite. The large pieces of Jumbo Shrimp were crunchy & delicious. There was a generous amount of mouth-watering King Crab piece (much to my surprise!). The split Lobster tail was probably a Langostino, but still very tasty. My wife & I are elderly, so we don't eat as much as our younger days, & by now we were nicely full. Brad came over & offered us dessert. After he described their special Valentines dessert, our sweet tooth got the better of us . It arrived shortly, this spectacular plate of a small Browny Fudge Lava Cake, next to a large White Chocolate Sphere with Vanilla Ice Cream inside. He poured warm Chocolate syrup over it & the sphere began to dissolve into pie-shaped sections & spread apart, revealing the ice cream inside. Kudos to the creative genius dessert maker! i must say, the service was impeccable by Brad & the other wait /table staff. They were always checking up on us, always refilling our water & removing empty dishes. A fabulous dinner!

We had a great night celebrating my birthday and anniversary at Il Fornaio! The food recommended by the serve, Linguini and seafood grill were so delicious! We were given free dessert due to the celebrations we were having! The price is very affordable! I highly recommend Il Fornaio! ❤️
