I came to Vegas for The Beatles show and left telling everyone about Max Brenners and not much else (beyond all the young slutty girls who infest Vegas whom I couldn't tell if they were the paid hookers or not).
If you had a bad experience here, you either are dumb or got very unlucky. I went 3 times in two days and each time it was AMAZING!
The first time we ordered the fondue with churros which consisted of mini homemade churros, raspberry sauce, toffee sauce, and dark chocolate. ALL YUMMERS! I got a crazy butterscotch shake which was like an orgasm in my mouth. We kne we had to return again for breakfast after looking at the plethora of menu options. I got an amazing goat cheese omelet and this insane frozen mini lemonade that I still cannot get over. Every dish come switch what they call a "chocolate lick". Its a small ramekin with their custom melted milk chocolate. I am no a milk chocolate fan, dark is my thing, but I would drink that by the gallon and bathe in it as well. The service rocked and the ambiance was kitschy cool. I have told every chocoholic I know about it and me as well as everyone I have told is completely disheartened that there's not a MB anywhere in the Bay Area. That is beyond STUPID! -

Had to try this place after friends on Facebook posted pictures of chocolate martinis and fondue. If it's anything chocolate, I'll go.
Service was slow, and we came in on a Monday afternoon when the place wasn't full. The server was nice though; we just didn't know why it took forever to get stuff going. Other than that...Expensive stuff: $100 for 2 people, with tip included. We ordered a choco frappe and hazelnut smoothie, 2 aps (spinach dip & wings), steak panini with waffle fries, and half order of the works chocolate pizza and churro fondue. Next time, skip the regular food and indulge in desserts!
Other tips: Sliders are only from the bar, and Happy Hour is from 3-6pm.
Conclusion: I definitely would go back again, though just for dessert. -

I'm not a chocolate fanatic, but I loved Max Brenner! You really can't go wrong with this place. The location--Caesar's Palace The Forum--is great. Our server (Desiree, according to my receipt) was so friendly and helpful. And the food--not to mention its presentation--was amazing (for the most part).
I came with two friends and we got two apps/sides to share:
1. Molly's White Corn Croquettes: house seasoned white corn & manchego cheese balls dusted in panko bread crumbs & lightly fried
-- OMG I loved these! I tasted mostly cheese and only a hint of corn, but that was fine with me! We got the full order (8 croquettes) and it comes on a long glass dish that has grooves for each of them. They are nested on top of a bed of chili mayo sauce and MAN, that sauce is mmmm delicious!
2. Waffle Fries Dusted with Chili and Cocoa Power
-- These didn't blow me away, but they also came with the mmmm delicious chili mayo sauce which complimented it perfectly. I mean, I love fries of all kinds, so I loved these waffle fries, but I feel like I love the sauce even more...
As for entrees:
1. Keri W. got the Cande's Killer Breakfast Skillet: farm fresh eggs, sausage, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, home fries & mushrooms seasoned and scrambled together served with a house baguette
-- I only tried a little bit, but it was good. She really liked her dish. It came with a small side bowl of butter and one of chocolate. She's a traditionalist and loves her bread with butter, but when she tried it with the melted chocolate... she didn't go back.
2. GH got the Chocolate Chunks Pizza (half-size): Max's double chocolate melting chunks & a choice of 2: crunchy hazelnut bits, bananas, peanut butter or roasted marshmallows; she chose bananas and marshmallows since I'm allergic to nuts
-- Looking at the pictures, I kind of wish we had gotten "The Works", but that would have been much too much! I ate 1/2 of a slice and that was more than enough for me. It was too chocolate-y! And very sticky in the mouth. I gave GH my pecans and she said that helped, but she wondered how sticky it would be if someone ordered peanut butter! :P Anyway, it is because of this dish that GH also agrees that Max Brenner gets 4 instead of 5 stars. We both really did not like the crust. We were told it was a "thin crust" so we were thinking the nice crispy thin crust pizza-esque crusts... but this was like thick pita bread. Didn't like it. So glad I did not order this.
3. So what did I get? The Cinnamon Apple & White Chocolate Truffle Cream French Toast: brown sugar spiced pecans, warm toffee sauce (obviously got the pecans on the side)
-- I love cinnamon, apples, white chocolate, and french toast. So guess what? I LOVED this dish! It was a bit heavy, but also quite a bit heavenly ;)
GH also got the Mexican Spicy Hot Chocolate (red chili, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper) and she greatly enjoyed it. And I think it's so cute that it comes in the Hug Mug! Adorbs.
But now that I've read Misti Y.'s review, I have to come back! I want to try their BALT since I love love love avocadoes, and she also makes their lemonade granita sound amazing. And, of course, so many other items on their menu sound like must-try's as well... -
Review from Angie W.
Chocolate time!
This place is pretty awesome! We swung by after brunch for an afternoon dessert & walked around the forum shops.
To start, this really is a 5 star experience. The amazing chocolates, the service, the atmosphere... love it!
We ended up sharing a milk chocolate granita & it was so smooth & thick! It was like an iced hot chocolate, actually, it is. It was served in the "Drink Me" cup which was the perfect size to share.
The service was spot on & our server never rushed us even when we took forever to decide what to get. We also found out from him that the chocolate pipes aren't real. :(
I love the feel of the small café, very cozy & intimate. The have regular tables & some bar tables. The decor was very chocolatey! They even had 10-lb chocolate bricks for decorations!
We will definitely be back to try everything out! Especially the fries with chili & cocoa dust!

Me and my friend walk in and the two girls at counter turn away from us. We made eye contact but still no acknowledgement of hi or hello greeting. Please don't be so conceding or if you have a bad previous night with your personal life don't show it while at work. I like girls of any type and can get along with them very well but you two are a turn off no matter how good you look.
My friend knew I was upset so she went ahead bought me two pieces of dark chocolate lemon and orange peel flavors. It taste velvety smooth and good but that kind of attitude service left a bad taste in my mouth. -

Started with the onion rings dipped in chocolate ranch - very good.
The Max Brenner Kobe beef burger tasted great. Excellent burger and fries.
The best dish was the red beans, black beans over rice and plantains with seasoned ground beef. Out of this world.
Any and all desserts rock! -
Review from Lynda S.

Stopped and had brunch ;)
Seated right at opening! Yeah!
Service was good, we ordered the granola fruit bowl - yummy bananas/strawberry/blueberries/blackberries/granol a/yogurt/ and chocolate bits to top with warm honey on the side and a powdered biscotti on the other side of my big bowl. Hubby ordered the mixed skillet (forgot the name) breakfast which was ok, eggs were well done - and uncle ordered the Mexican omelet which seemed ok. Their brunch came with a side of butter and a side of chocolate - lol (I know u don't come to a joint like this without having chocolate) - I ordered a fruit smoothie that came in a cute "drink me" cup and they had iced lattes.
Overall I really think its 3 stars for brunch food, I'd have to come for dessert as I think it would definitely be 4-5 stars! U'd have to wait for my next review since I will be back but only for dessert! -

As the mega structures that are the resort casinos in Vegas continue to expand, the locals in Las Vegas continue to be the real winners. The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace is medium sized mall filled to the brim with the latest fashions and also is home to several restaurants.
One such restaurant, is Max Brenner's Chocolate by the Bald Man. This place came highly recommended and so we were excited to give it a try. As a certifiable chocoholic, I was surprised at myself that I actually almost walked right passed this place. I suppose my eye was drawn across the hall to the massive, three-story H&M clothing store. However, my nose did not fail me and my eye quickly followed me back to the sight of Max Brenner's. The place looks like Willy Wonka and Wolfgang Puck had a brain child. There is a childlike playfulness to much of the decor but with a crisp and refined edge.
One glance at the menu and we knew this was going to be a special meal. Surprisingly, there was a lot of care and detail put into the flavor and presentation of the savory dishes. I honestly expected these to be a loss, so this was a plus. The winner and the reason I will return is the dessert.
There are page after page of delectable options. We settled on the *Sharing fondue and the Crystal Sugar Churros fondue. Both sets came to the table stylishly displayed, but not at the cost of real chocolate experience. There were fruits, cakes, churros, other chocolates, and even pieces of waffle to dip into several different flavors of warm molten chocolate placed on the table by the waitstaff.
Service here is excellent. Most places in Las Vegas are missing this component. Max Brenner must either pay well, or be a truly enjoyable place to work. It s a remarkably enjoyable place to sit and enjoy an amazing dessert and people watch. As you leave Caesar's casino head into the Forum Shops and veer left, trust me your nose will guide you the rest of the way to chocolate bliss. -

There's a few Max Brenners in the country, and we vaguely remember going to the one in NYC. However, this one, we will likely not forget. EVER.
While they try to pass off this establishment as a restaurant, the wiser customer knows that it really is just a front to indulge in your wildest chocolate fantasies. We ordered a hot chocolate, hazelnut/chocolate frappe, and caramalized banana waffle smothered in chocolate. Each was more delicious than the next. And this is considering there were 2 meat-loving guys in our group! Even more fun is their attached shop with all sorts of funky chocolate confectioneries and accessories, which certainly entertained us until our food came.
As an aside, we also got a panini and a burger, both of which were solid as well. So there you have it, the best of both worlds! -

Never thought I would ever give sweet places such as Max Brenner this bad of a review. I went in for brunch and I asked for upstairs seat. For some reason, the hostess didn't like this idea and told me there'd be 20+ mins. wait. It was weird because the upstairs was almost empty. We were finally seated after several other people came after us were promptly seated (w/o reservation). hmmmmm....ok...
We ordered the omelette and club sandwich. The omelette was the main reason for the one star. How can anyone mess up an omelette? It tasted funny....kinda sour and weird aftertaste. I couldn't manage more than couple bites. Only thing I enjoyed was the biscuit and its chocolate syrup.
With so many delicious places in Vegas, I would never go back to Max Brenner in Vegas. -

Had chocolate vodka and philly sliders! My friend had hot chocolate and spicy chicken sliders and the only thing that was subpar was hot chocolate.
It is not one of the cheaper places but happy hour will make your visit worthwhile. Make sure to sit at the bar area for happy hour!
I would have to try their other chocolate stuff to give them a fair verdict. For now, max Brenner gets 4 stars. -

Ignore all reviews that are less than 5 stars.
I would give Max Brenner five stars even if their food and service were only worth one. Their desserts are THAT good. We ended up ordering a second round of desserts. They were THAT good. The hot chocolate was out-of this-world. The entire restaurant was so much fun that I don't even remember having that much fun as a child! For anyone who has watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and remembers the boy who cracked open the pumpkin and spooned liquid chocolate into his mouth with his bare hand, you will feel like that boy at Max Brenner. It was like my wildest chocolate fantasy come true. The molten chocolate cake with a milk chocolate shot and the banana tempura fondue with chocolate and toffee sauces were both everything I hoped they'd be. I haven't been able to stop thinking about Max Brenner since I left! -

The fondues are great, but the chocolate can get a bit too sweet for me at times. The beverages are also good, but do not get the Italian hot chocolate. It's basically a shot of chocolate syrup. My favorites are the fondue with the ice cream, because it comes with a crunchy coating you can dip with, after you've coated it in chocolate and I love the white chocolate chai tea. Yum!

Review from Raych D.
***This review is strictly on the drinks***
After a long day shopping on the strip we ended up at H&M and when I saw the Max Brenner sign I knew I had to try it. We opted to sit outside so and just get chocolate wasted.
Me and a friend got the chocolate martini with a shot of Baileys with a toothpick of chocolate dipped strawberry's. My other friend got the chocolate cake martini which came with marshmallows. The price was about $12-14 which is kind of pricey for a martini but it was deliciously pricey. The martini really does taste like chocolate and with one shot of baileys...you could practically drink it as if it was chocolate milk, which could be a good or bad thing ;) -

Oh Max, I didn't believe my friend when he said you were the best, when he said I would never have better than you. I scoffed at his rave review of you. I refused to believe there was such a phenomenal thing out there. I had to experience this for myself. With all skeptism I could possibly have I entered your dark room..... and after a sip of your hot coco..... the room turned bright, a unicorn appeared, there was a rainbow and a pot of gold colored chocolate coins and a leprocon/oompa loompa wearing a chocolate suit.
It was true. You were the best I've ever had. I never imagined I could fall so deeply, long for you, be saddened by the very thought of not having you. But there I was, taking the last bite of my chocolate souffle cake. I knew after that, you would disappear from my life.... only until my next visit to the Devil's Playground, I would be apart from you my chocolate lover.
The souffle cake, chocolate sauce, mini milkshake and Mexican style hot coco were to die for. I'm planning my next Vegas trip and MB will not only be the first place I stop but also the last.
INCREDIBLE! -

I visited the Max Brenner in New York and enjoyed all the chocolate filled items in the sampler plate. For my visit in Vegas, I only had time to grab a slice of pizza at their counter in the Forums.
The pizza was a sure thing, I loved the dough, and the chocolate was nice and warm. The chocolate got all over my hands as I was walking through the Forums, and people not familiar with Max Brenner was giving me weird looks.
I also bought a chocolate syringe to bring back on my flight home. I was able to take it on the plane without a problem. -

A chocolate and walnut cookie that may give you an inferiority complex.
Lucky for you, all it wants from you is for you to love it. It won't give up on you. So stop being a little bitch, and love the shit out of it. In return, it'll console you after you just dropped $250 on a pair of sneakers.
Soft, warm, gooey, and chalk full of nuts. Like that mistake after 5 too many Ketel One Tonics.
Mighty-damn-fucking fine cookie indeed. $5 for the cookie plus a tip for the firme hyna euro-girl working the stand. -

Fan-freakin-tastic! I ordered a decadent banana creme brulee waffle breakfast item here. It was sooooo good. The picture of the item was on their menu which is what had me sold...it was truly love at first sight.
Everything on the menu look great, even their non-chocolate items. Had a side of fries b/c I wanted something savory as well and they were delish.
This is a must try place if you're going to Vegas and especially if you have a sweet tooth and a weakness for chocolate. -

Wow. I'm not really sure what else to say about this place. When you walk in, you're greeted by the intoxicating smell of chocolate...what more could you ask for?
We ate here for breakfast one morning and we were pleasantly surprised. While I'd heard great things about their chocolate, I wasn't so sure how the rest of the menu would stack up. We both had omelettes - they were large and delicious and the seasoned potatoes were quite good as well. What was fantastic was that you also get this outstandingly delicious buttermilk biscuit glazed with sugar, and sides of butter and melted chocolate. Let me just tell you that eating that biscuit dipped in the butter and chocolate made my whole life worthwhile. Believe me when I say it's definitely worth the trip.Listed in: Vegas!

Review from David G.
As the two of us rolled into Las Vegas, the inevitable question came up: "So, where are we going for lunch?"
My reply: "I already have it planned out. We're going to Max Brenner."
After parking the car at the hotel, we wandered over to the Forum Shops at Caesars, where Max Brenner is tucked away near the back (across from the mega-H&M). The place was fairly empty at lunchtime, so the two of us had no problem scoring a second-floor balcony seat overlooking the crazed capitalism going on below.
Even before our server came by with menus, we were intoxicated by the chocolate aroma that permeates the place. We were hungry even before we sat down; once the chocolate tickled our noses, we were ravenous.
The menu is ginormous. There is enough "real" (non-dessert) food to pull you in multiple directions. The dessert menu is even worse -- it's practically an encyclopedia of drool-inducing chocolate delights.
To start, we ordered the grilled chicken panini. I'm a sucker for a great panini, and this one was more than just great -- it was heavenly. Gooey cheese, a nicely crisped roll, and the most intoxicating tomato aioli. It was served with a side of waffle fries dusted with cocoa and chili powder, which is possibly the best twist on French fries that I've ever enjoyed.
We also shared a side of white corn croquettes. These beautiful bites were absolute perfection. Crispy panko breadcrumbs on the outside, silky smooth corn and manchego cheese on the inside. I could eat dozens of these and never tire of 'em.
As amazing as the these were, the single most revelatory dish was dessert: chocolate chunk pizza with hazelnuts and bananas. It's as decadent as it sounds. I've never had anything else quite like it. And, obviously, the best way to wash down chocolate is with more chocolate, so I sipped on a "hug mug" of Mexican spicy hot chocolate, which ranks among the finest hot cocoa ever. (I loved dessert so much that I had a cookie to go -- thanks for the tip, Michelle T!)
The Max Brenner gift shop is almost as fun as the restaurant. Lots of free chocolate samples there, along with surprisingly reasonably priced dishware and boxed chocolate to go. The best part: chocolate moisturizer that makes you hands silky smooth while smelling like an ice cream sundae. (Yeah... I took some of that to go as well.)
Can you tell I'm completely bowled over by Max Brenner? Next time I'm looking for lunch in Las Vegas, I'll definitely be returning to this veritable castle of chocolate. Take it from this chocoholic's mouth: Max Brenner is a no brainer.Listed in: Stripped

Wonderful establishment, delicious food, excellent service!
I've been here twice now. First time was with my bf for lunch and the second time, I hosted a bachelorette dinner. I give this review 5 stars because their food is innovative and amazing and their prices are fair. I really like how they have private dining areas. Our party of 16 was seated in a separate room that had closed doors. We were able to enjoy ourselves in privacy. Our server, Chris was on top of it! He handled all of our orders and drinks and was super efficient. He brought out things that we would need before we even asked for them. Although it is a chocolate themed restaurant, not everything on the menu has chocolate. Their milkshakes are to die for! I'd highly suggest getting the onion rings. They are perfectly fried and come with a savory chocolate dipping sauce that compliments the rings so well.
This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants and I can't wait to come back! -

OH MY GOSH. GO HERE NOW!
If you love hot chocolate, you HAVE to try this restaurant. Yes, its a tiny cup, but it is so worth it. The Mexican is my personal Fav. The fondue is fantastic and out of this world. The banana tempura is a taste sensation that has to be tasted to be believed. I really only suggest chocolate-based dishes though.
I love the atmosphere (feels kind of hipster) and the waitstaff has been very helpful and even remembered me and my BF.
For the vegans: they provide vanilla soymilk in place of milk. Still tastes great! -

LAS VEGAS SPRING RESTAURANT WEEK $30.12 LUNCH
It's been a long time since I've revisited Max Brenner. In fact it was during the CMYE a couple of Decembers ago. 1 PM reservations and we pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. Our server Maria was right on top of things and we were basically pampered throughout our lunch.
Ordering was pretty simple and with the two of us we decided on everything on their Restaurant Week menu.
Gucamole salad with what seemed like a whole avocado was a meal in itself. Then the stacked beer battered onion rings that included chocolate ranch dipping sauce that would alter your DNA.
Second course of our lunch arrives with burgers and pulled pork sandwiches enough to feed four. Between the two, we thought the pulled pork hit the bull's eye. Burger is a burger as they say. (l make only one exception and that's Bachi Burger's medium rare kimchi burger)
To conclude our lunch we tried their chocolate and marshmallow half pizzas...another meal in itself. We were pretty much worthless for the rest of the afternoon. Plus Maria delivered another strawberry dessert that we just nibbled on.
Not sure I could have done any better except maybe skip the burger. Otherwise it was a very memorable start for Spring Restaurant Week in Las Vegas. Not to forget Three Square's most charitable efforts to feed hungry classroom children of Las Vegas. -

"Effing Amazing"...that is how I described our Hazelnut Cream Banana Toffee Crepe to our server! It was just decadent in so many ways.
The Satisfaction Guaranteed drink is a must have. It kinda tastes like a liquid Snickers. I could have drank them all night long! We also had the chocolate pizza, which was good, but got to be too much after devouring the crepe.
We visited on a Saturday evening and the place wasn't overly crowded either. We enjoyed drooling over seeing the various dessert dishes coming out of the kitchen. Check this place out...you will leave happy and in a chocolate coma! -

This was fabulous. It is now officially my new favorite Vegas chocolate stop.
Good real food. Good dessert.
We ate here a couple of times and loved it each time. Had dinner & dessert once, then just dessert and then a cookie for the drive home.
I like a place that encourages me to play with my food - we had fun with the sampler and fondue desserts. Good quality ingredients.
Service was good. Prices were ok for being on the strip, which to me is expensive if I were anywhere else. -

If you love Chocolate you are going to love this place. They incorporate chocolate into just about every dish on the menu and everything is fantastic. My Fiancee loves the waffle cut french fries... I loved the fact that the portions were big enough for the two of us to share and not feel hungry after we leave.(she always wants to share my meal) I also loved that it was very, very affordable for a place on the strip. We always try to stop here for something (lunch, dinner or a treat) when we are at the Forum Shops... I would suggest giving it a try!

Looking for someplace to have a reasonably priced late breakfast, we settled on Max Brenner's. Deciding upon the Belgian waffle. This was more of a dessert than a breakfast, but it was still plenty tasty.
Inside, the place is something like if Willie Wonka had become a hipster. There are pipes running throughout to make it seem like there is chocolate running through the ceiling. Downstairs there's a tiny shop to buy massive blocks of chocolate or little souvenirs.
Service is friendly and we were well taken care of during our visit. I can't think of anything to make Max Brenner stand out as amazing, but the place is creative and everything is done very well. -

I have tried many desserts here in max brenner and everything that I have tasted far exceed my expectations. One of my favorite desserts would be the Turtle sundae and I can finish it call by myself. It has basically everything that I love with milk chocolate fudge, ice cream, nuts, and a variety of other tasty chocolate.

Review from Henry B.
"Chocolate by the Bald Man", who knew bald dudes could make such delicious desserts. The bald man is Oded Brenner and his co-founder Max Fichtman created this wonderful chain of Willy Wonka'esque chocolate factories.
I must have pass by this place a million times in the Forum Shops but never ventured inside for a taste. We wanted a late snack after a long day of shopping ending at Caesar's, so this was the perfect time to give it a try.
The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The service was quite exceptional, very quick and she came by just enough times to check up on us without the sense of harassing. Needless to say, I gave her a deserving big tip.
We ordered the following:
1. Tutti Frutti Waffles
-it was covered generously with strawberries and milk chocolate granache with vanilla crumbled ice cream
2. Baja fish tacos
-corn tortillas stuffed with fish and mango slaw, served with rice and beans.
I love both dishes. The fish tacos were very refreshing with the mango. I didn't really like the side of plain white rice, it could had easily been replaced by a salad or some Spanish style rice would be more appropriate.
I'm coming back here to try the Chocolate cheesecake crepe and hot chocolates next time. One can only handle so much decadent food on a weekend trip to Vegas. This is one time I wish my stomach could hold more food.
Kudos to the bald dude! -

Yum. I ordered their thick hot chocolate. So good. Definitely thick n rich. N the cup it came in was cute

I'm an idiot for not saving room for dessert.
But not to worry, I got my chocolate in with the Double Mocha. Mmmm and being the caffeine addict that I am, I also tried the plain coffee and it was absolutely delicious.
I loved how my Southwestern salad had ample chunks of perfectly creamy avocados AND chicken. The quality of food is top-notch but I wish it wasn't so pricey.
Fun note: the aioli and various sauces come in mini flasks that you would see in chemistry classes. One of our friends made the mistake of hitting the butt of her erlenmeyer flask with her knife, shattering glass everywhere. Including in her delicious looking fish tacos. -

Who likes chocolate?? I DO. I DO.
Everything. had. chocolate. I was in Heaven (plus, there was a 3 story H&M right across... can't get better than that!)
My family and I went there for brunch one morning/noon and we weren't quite sure what to expect. We ordered crepes, omelets, skillets, and pancakes. Everything was delicious and everything came with a cute vial of chocolate or white chocolate.
Service was excellent (she was super happy! but who wouldn't be if they were surrounded by chocolate all the time!).
They also have a little chocolate shop in the restaurant. It was really cute and they were giving away free samples of some kind of delicious chocolate. It was probably the best piece of chocolate I have every tried.
It was a pretty expensive meal, but hey, what do you expect in Vegas?
Would definitely go there again... when I'm making bank. -

Finally got to try this cool hip restaurant/bar/candy factory for restaurant week for lunch and I was impressed!
-White Corn Croquettes: These yummy little potato things were so good!; crunchy on the outside and soft as mashed potato on the inside.. mmmm
-Pita Chips with Hummus and roasted red peppers: server recommended the hummus dip and she was right! the pita chips were the best I've had.
-Mushroom and Ricotta Pizza - the thin crusted flatbread-like pizzas were so delicious; not too heavy and HUGE! the combination between mushroom and ricotta cheese was to die for
-Penne Alfredo - your average pasta
-Banana Tempura Fondue- fried banana dipped in caramel or chocolate with fresh strawberries! the presentation was awesome too.
-Chocolate pizza - the crush was a bit too thick but still delicious! we had marshmellows on top and they just melted away with the chocolate.
This would be a perfect place for desserts or girl's night out! Cannot wait to go back for some more chocolate. -

The venue is way smaller than the one in New York. But you still have a lot options to choose from, and people are friendly there.

Max Brenner is great lunch spot for those close to Caesars. Their sandwiches, paninis, and salads were very very good. Chocolate is quality. I ordered the legendary Walnut choc chip cookie to go. Server told me get in in Kiosk outside, its half the price. Great kid. I respect the decency. cookie is great. Better be for $5

Definitely delicious but I have to say all their drinks are for people with a HUGE sweet tooth. I couldn't even finish my white hot chocolate. Definitely tasted like straight melted chocolate but it was soo good!!!
Ordered a bunch of food here and got full off of that so we had to cancel our dessert. Definitely missed out cause it seems like this place is meant for sweets all the way.
Got the turkey sandwich- good but not anything out of the ordinary
Salmon- interesting take on salmon - i loved the wasabi mayo
probably come back to try desserts =) -

I heart Max Brenner!
The food is so yummy! Try the BALT (Bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato) sandwich and the Steak panini is delicious also. It's a bit spendy for sandwiches ($14) but they are yummy and you always pay more on the strip. The atmosphere is great and the service is wonderful.
The desserts are the main reason for coming here! My favorite is the eighties shake. I want my whole shake cup to be dipped into the milk chocolate shell that is on top of the shake. So delish! And make sure you stop by the bottom of the staircase. It houses jars of chocolates and candies that creates the most divine smell!
Come and dine here! You won't regret it!
