    We went twice during our stay at the Fontainebleau. The first time, we had an 8:30 PM reservation and the kitchen had run out of the chicken sandwich and, essentially gave us the last cut of steak, which was about 1/3 fat. They shouldn’t have served it. I should have sent it back. The second night, we made sure to go earlier, at 8:00. The steak was excellent and the chicken sandwich was as well. We also had the deluxe burger, which was juicy and wonderful. Moral of the story is to get there before things run out.

    Our server, Belford, was terrific. He explained the menu options and described items in perfect detail. He was also friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The pomegranate margaritas and the coconut mojitos were delicious. Upon Belford's recommendation, two of us ordered the roasted half chicken which was crisp on th eoutside and juicy on the inside. A great dish if you are hungry. The spicy tuna sushi was so good, one of our party members ordered a second serving! Wonderful options, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. HIghly recommend this lunch spot.
