Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Desert Shores

Because today February 17th, 2025 is a holiday, they didn’t offer the lunch specials. They stopped offering to take and bake . 2 strikes, and the 3rd strike they took eggplant parmesan off the menu . Those are the exact reason we chose Maggiano’s . Out server was nice, and felt bad for us.  Not the best experience today. A comedy of errors.

Modern Mexican at its finest. Everything we ate from the lobster tacos and short rib enchiladas to the most decadent churros ever was phenomenal! Our server, Bella, was helpful, cheerful, and delightful! Can't wait to return to try their brunch.

Day of reservation made looking to try a new place for brunch. We were very happy with the brunch. The view of the strip and Bellagio fountain was very nice. The service was attentive without being pushy. Example: we ordered a caviar dish and the waiter noticed we were running low on bread, and he asked if we wanted more before we could request it (we did want more). That level of attention and detail did not go unnoticed. All the food and drink items were very tasty and well prepared. Keep in mind that this is traditional French dining, meaning don't be in a hurry. We were there >2 hours between the three courses, caviar add on, and dessert, but we never felt like we were rushed out. We plan to go back at some point to try their dinner menu. So far, a great first impression.

Always skeptical about a steakhouse, we opted to try Vic and Anthony’s on a recommendation. Had a 10:45 reservation and arrived 30 minutes early thinking we would enjoy a cocktail at the bar. To our surprise, they were able to seat us right away. Our waiter Hector was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable; providing recommendations when I was being indecisive. The wine list read like an encyclopedia and the bottle prices were very reasonable. We shared a life changing crab cake as a starter. The sauce was so incredible we soaked up the deliciousness with the homemade bread. The wedge salad was very flavorful and more than enough for two people to share. My husband ordered a ribeye which was cooked to absolute perfection and had that crust most restaurants can’t achieve without a grill. Tender and delicious!! I ordered the wagyu carpaccio which was amazing. Cut paper thin, the carpaccio was like butter. Every bite was pure perfection. We couldn’t possibly fit another bite in, but Hector wanted us to try dessert and brought us two bite sized cheesecakes which were amazing. The only ding against our experience was the table we were seated at. It was sandwiched between two four tops along the windows. We were definitely close to the folks next to us, making it feel like we were at a family dinner. Which was fine, everyone was very friendly. It made our dining experience cozy but not unpleasant. The rest of the tables appeared to be spaced out okay.

Amazing experience for our 55th anniversary celebration. A warm and courteous welcome by the ladies in the front desk. The food was delicious, the ambiance was awesome, and the service by the team of Nick, Oscar, and Guillermo was outstanding! Looking forward to our next visit…
