Libertine Social

Was crowded after a Raiders game, but they got us in with only about a 20 min wait. We sat at the kitchen bar area, so we got to watch the chefs cook the steaks and pizza (and got to see all the other food come out).
The skirt steak was delicious! The BLT salad had a nice ratio of ingredients, with thick bacon pieces, and I added chicken.
We ordered the banana split for dessert and it was huge and so so good, with candied walnuts, and the bananas had a hard candy layer.

We came here as a party of 13 and picked this one since they were able to accommodate such a big group. We were really happy with the service, food and the vibes of this restaurant - hip and modern. Such a great restaurant option in Mandalay Bay.

We ordered a lot and I'd say my fave dishes were: Stkirt Steak, Bacon wrapped Dates, Hamachi Cones, Persimmon & Burrata, Panna Cotta, and surprisingly the Banana Split (this was a very generous portion so share with others if you'd like). Plus they made me a very refreshing mocktail.

My visit to Libertine Social at the Mandalay Bay for an early dinner over the weekend was full of highs and lows, creating a dining experience that was as complex as it was interesting. Positioned near the hand railing close to a walking path, our seating offered a peculiar combination of comfort and awkwardness, with overly low and cushiony seats that made dining a balancing act, though they might be ideal for a laid-back drink session.

The food experience began promisingly with bacon-wrapped dates filled with goat cheese and a generous serving of house-baked garlic bread. Though sizable and paired well with the cheese, the dates were marred by undercooked bacon--a detail that somewhat detracted from the enjoyment. In stark contrast, the garlic bread was a triumph; a warm, soft, onion-topped delight that became the highlight of our meal, smeared with lusciously rich garlic confit butter.

The entrees brought a rollercoaster of flavors and emotions. My choice, an eight-ounce filet mignon accompanied by black truffle potato slice and bordelaise, unfortunately, missed the mark. Although perfectly cooked, the steak was overshadowed by an odd, earthy seasoning that clashed with the meat's natural flavors, leaving me confused and disappointed. Similarly, the black truffle potato was overwhelmingly parmesan-forward, overpowering the flavors you would expect from such a dish.

In contrast, the cheeseburger my dining companion ordered was a simple and taste masterclass, boasting dual patties and a mixture of flavors that instantly induced food envy. It was a testament to the kitchen's ability to execute straightforward dishes with flair and precision.

Regrettably, our dining experience was further dimmed by lackluster service. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty and a visible abundance of staff, our server was absent for extended periods, necessitating multiple attempts to summon assistance. This lack of attention was puzzling and frustrating, casting a shadow over the meal.

Libertine Social presents a paradox of exceptional starters and casual fare, contrasted by missed opportunities in both execution and service. The house-baked bread and the cheeseburger are standout choices for those visiting, yet the overall experience leaves room for improvement. Libertine Social is a venue with potential, marred by inconsistencies that I hope will be addressed in the future.

We went for the Super Bowl game.
Was not happy that they sat at 2pm and the included drinks didn't start till 2:30 and food at 3:00.
For the amount they charged you should have been able to get service as you sat.
Once the food and drink started flowing service was good and food/drinks were fine. Overall not bad for the Super Bowl.

Eh very just okay. We stopped here one night for appetizers and drinks and we were pretty underwhelmed. First of all, service was pretty slow. We were seated and then sat and sat and sat before we were offered drinks and then we waited for awhile after that before we could even order.

We decided to share a few dishes- we tried the pretzel with cheese, the persimmon and burrata, and the carbonara pasta. Out of those three, our favorite was the persimmon and burrata. The cheese with the pretzel was not very good and we didn't really eat it. The carbonara was okay but nothing special. The location is convenient but overall the food was overpriced and just okay, and the service was lacking.

Absolutely delicious. Came here with my kids and hubby just to have a few appetizers and drinks while we looked up other places to eat and kinda wish we would just stay and order more from the menu! Vibe is so casual and relaxing. Nice big chairs to sit in. Good/quick service. Ordered the mushrooms, Mac and cheese and fries. WOW- the mushroom and Mac and cheese were absolute FIRE. Salty, garlicky and just insanely delish. Could order here again and again...would love to try the whole menu!!

Came in after the kitchen was supposed to be closed but they still served us dinner. Food came out so quickly we had barely started our drinks. There were some unique cocktails, had never one with egg white as an ingredient. The taste was great and suprising given what I thought it would taste like from the ingredients. Made us a to go cocktail when bar was closing. Great service! The jackalope on the outside of the bar is one of the coolest pieces of art I've seen. Great experience.

Pleasant atmosphere, a bit loud. Cheese board was really good, focaccia bread on the board was amazing. Ran out of branzino at 6pm which was disappointing. So we ordered the halibut, which was not worth the price. We wanted to complain but we were with clients and did t think it was appropriate. Mediocre service! Called back later that evening and the manager, Shawn agreed to provide credit back to us for the fish. That part was very impressive!

Dutch was our wonderful server. He was gracious and informative. We have eaten here before and remembered the incredible service and food. After all the Chef is a James Beard Award Recipient.

The place is trendy and nicely furnished. My wife and I were very comfortable. We got a window seat, having asked for it when I booked a reservation. I would recommend it because if there is a convention there it is packed during the dinner hours.

We started with an order of the Hamachi Cones. Wow. 5 very cool Hamachi filled mini-cones. Fresh lime, avocado, and sesame chili oil. We also shared the house baked Pretzel. It comes with pickled Fresno peppers, stone ground brown mustard, and an amazing Cheddar fondue to dip it in. Then came the sausage and fennel flat bread. Another Wow! For dinner we shared a Bucatini Carbonara. Perfect. Barely having room left we had a special ice cream for desert.

Came here with my cousin Jay for dinner and the food was perfect for a boxing night. We had the bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer (5/5), skirt steak (5/5) and the sausage and fennel flatbread pizza (5/5). We also had a Modelo esoecial and a Kona Big Wave. All items were excellent and we would return.
