Michael Patrick’s Brasserie

Went to Michael Patrick’s for breakfast on Sunday morning. This place was the only disappointment about my stay at the Golden Nugget. Coffee was served with half & half in little plastic cups. Lipton was the only tea was available. I asked if the «Maple» syrup for the french toast and waffles was real and the server shook her head, no. We ordered omelets and the onions and peppers that were in them were raw, not precooked, not even boiled, just hard. If I was to do it all over again, I would go to the Starbucks, one flight down.

The service here was absolutely terrible. It takes way to long to get the attention of a waitress or server while there’s only a total of three customers in the place. We had to go through three different people just to order at 7:37 AM. Which is no excuse for the slow and unresponsive service.
The food is not bad for the price. Very affordable when it is matched up to restaurants outside of a casino.
In regards of the quality of the food. It was mediocre, expected quality of a restaurant inside a casino. If I had more restaurant choices to eat breakfast next time I would not return to this place.
If you plan on eating quickly. This place is NOT RECOMMENDED. They take their time preparing the plate. If an order of Two farm eggs, ham, toast, and potatoes takes roughly 40 minutes. I couldn’t imagine the service I’d get if there were more than the three customer at the store at the time.

Overall a 2.5÷10 MAX for this ridiculous service.

The staple casual diner type restaurant in a casino. It’s on par with the Metropolitan at the Borgata across the street. I’d liken it to a pricey upscale diner. It’s isn’t bad, but it isn’t anything memorable that you will write home about.

Seems like every casino in AC has one of these: casual sit-​down restaurant with a few creative touches, a bit overpriced, and slow service.
Michael Patrick’s is said option at the Golden Nugget. The food isn’t bad (and, for the surroundings, not insanely expensive either). A cheddar cheeseburger came out the requested medium rare with a nice bit of char and the side of fries were crisp. Nothing special but not botched, either.
You can do better if you’re willing to pay the price. Otherwise, this is the place for dinner in the Golden Nugget if you’re looking to drop money on the games rather than a meal.

Got seated quickly. The place was cleaned with the good atmosphere. Soup and salad was terrific. I was expecting much and I was surprised how delicious it was.

Came for breakfast. Ordered the Jackpot combo — Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Potatoes, and short stack of Buttermilk pancakes. Everything was delicious! Bloody Mary was ok but the Mimosa was really good. Service was excellent!

Food us too pricey and nothing special. No other choice in the hotel. I wouldn’t eat here again if have another choice or read the review before going in.

Eh.
It’s a restaurant in a casino. Kind of far from the shore and no real other place to walk to.
It served food.
That is all.

Food in a casino… Overpriced and not that great!

Ate lunch today at MP’s. From the host to the manager, everyone was friendly and welcoming. I was eating alone which I am not a big fan of but had to today. The hostess Carla gave me a nice smile and greeting when I arrived. As soon as I sat down the busboy, which was a nice man, asked if I wanted a drink and brought me a soda immediately. My server Tomas then came over and he answered all my menu questions and then I placed my order. Every single waitress that walked by smiled and said hello to me which was nice. I ordered the French Onion soup which could have been a little warmer but was very tasty and needed a little more cheese. I then received by Buffalo Wings which Tomas said would be spicy and they were. Fantastic taste and spicy to my liking. I mentioned to the manager on duty Eli that everything was great. Nice friendly workers, prompt service and good food – now that’s a perfect trifecta.

The best thing I can say here is that the food was edible. Not great or even good. Just adequate. Service and ambiance both lackluster. Will make a point to makes this a last resort.

Every casino has one of these restaurant types. The one that has ‘everything’. They have breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc., etc. Usually the food is decent, and Michael Patrick’s is no different. However, this place needs a touch of something that I can’t quite put my finger on.
Right outside the casino floor, Michael Patrick’s is certainly a comfortable place, with high ceilings and comfortable tables/​chairs. I went recently and the restaurant was a bit quiet with only 3 or 4 tables taken in the early evening. Water was brought out on request, and one glass had something in it, maybe a bug, maybe just a speck of something, anyway, it was replaced. We ordered a cheeseburger and turkey club sandwich. Ketchup and mayonnaise were brought out first, and about a half hour later, finally came the food. No complaints on the food, but why so long for a simple order? The last time I ate here, I remember an equally long wait.
There is a flat screen TV strangely placed right in front of the hostess stand, so the staff sort of stands there facing the screen and chatting. Maybe it’s not busy so it’s OK. I don’t know, the energy seems a bit off in the restaurant in general and that leads to a so-​so experience. The staff is nice and they do everything they are supposed to, but maybe management needs to encourage them to be more proactive and interested. I don’t dislike Michael Patrick’s, I think it has decent food with nice people working there. But with so much competition in Atlantic City for your dining dollar, I feel they can do better.

If tasteless cold food is what you enjoy this is the place for you! We ate here on a Friday evening. The place was not very busy which should have been a warning– and we also made the mistake of not consulting Unilocal prior to dining here. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup combo. The soup was served cold and tasted like watered down tomato sauce. It was not at all creamy like described. I was further disappointed with the also cold grilled cheese– which was American cheese served on stale sourdough bread– not sure how you mess up a grilled cheese but this place accomplished that task. The grilled cheese came with tater tots which I had to add a ton of salt to and were also cold. My boyfriend ordered the buttermilk pancakes which he said were decent. They were served with a side of cold bacon which was burnt to a crisp and not at all appetizing. I would definitely recommend not wasting your money here!

I thought I wrote a review of this place, but apparently I started it and forgot about it.
I don’t have much to say about this place other than… well, it’s bad. The prices aren’t horrible, but is it worth any price for crappy food? We went there twice, and here is what I had:
Buffalo chicken strips appetizer: wasn’t great, wasn’t horrible… but took like a half an hour to get to me. Really? There were like two other tables in the place, come on.
French dip: I was craving the french dip after I saw it on the menu the day before, so I ordered it. I asked to substitute tater tots for french fries… she said absolutely! I received the plate, and saw it had french fries… cold…mushy…seemingly two day old french fries. I politely asked about the tater tots, and she remembered and went and got me a side dish. Those were great! Clearly they were freshly cooked due to the immediate nature. My sandwich, however… was gross. Lots of roast beef, but the bun was soggy and old, and I swear… both bottoms of my sandwich were half missing. As if they ripped a bottom in a half, and attempted to use one half as the bottom for both sides. Bizarre.
The people with me liked their food OK enough. But again, both times it took way too long for food when there was almost nobody else in the place. Add mediocre to bad food on top of that, and you have a waste of a restaurant.
When I got there, I thought oh nice… diner type food. What I soon found out is that it is diner type food, but of lesser quality than most diners I’ve been to. Normally I am not THIS harsh, but bad service + bad food + a supposedly nice restaurant in a nice hotel in AC = come on. You couldn’t do better? Nobody cares to correct this?
I vote skip, but then again I am the idiot that went twice, so maybe you shouldn’t listen to me.

This is probably the most reasonably priced restaurant of the bunch at Golden Nugget (with the exception of Bread & Bean). After a long drive to Atlantic City, the hubby and I decided to give this place a try since they serve breakfast.
The food was not fantastic. Service was decent and prompt. We found ourselves longing for home cooked breakfast. The eggs were defineatly powdered and my husband’s pork sausage was terrible. I had the French toast as recommended by the waitress. The serving size was great, but the French toast taste like it was microwaved– it was edible, but not good. While dining, we wondered if they were just grabbing the food from the buffet next door and throwing on people’s plates.
Bottom Line: This is not a good place to eat. Two glasses of orange juice set us back $ 10. The glasses were tiny. I would expect this in NYC, but at the Golden Nugget, really? Breakfast ended up coming to $ 46 (incl tax + $ 6.00 tip) was not worth the price.
Furthermore, this just reassures me that while staying at the Golden Nugget, we won’t be dining here again. You’re better off just grabbing something on location from Starbucks. We are miniature foodies and don’t mind paying for a quality meal, but Michael Patricks is not the place!

I have eaten here twice and both times had a very good meal. The food was hot and cooked just right. Both times I ate was late in the evening, so I never tried breakfast. Dinner with a drink was under $ 15. The servers weren’t the best but definitely not the worst either.

I could barely remember my experience here, seeing as how I’ve only come here after a long night of partying in Atlantic City when i stayed at this hotel.
The food was pretty ok, not the best. The service, ehhh.
The last time i ate here a few weeks ago, i do remember the waiter had an atitude when i asked him for a side of honey mustard.

One of the worst experiences ever! We came here around 9:30 on a Thursday night after a show. There were 10 of us just looking for a quick bite to eat. When we were seated, our server was very animated and suggestive, basically telling us what to order for apps. «Nachos? Get some nachos for the table? You want jalapeños on the side, right? Just one order? I think you need more». He also told us to put our order in ASAP, because the kitchen was «starting to get busy». There were 5 other tables seated in the whole place…
We waited 45 minutes for a lousy and cold plate of nachos and some mozzarella sticks and quesdillas. I think our food came about an hour after we ordered it. And we’re talking basic things that we ordered — burgers, sandwiches and omelets. Nothing tasted good enough to justify the long wait. Also, we were never offered more drinks, and one member of the party waited about 20 minutes just for his Coke. We also asked for more plates and silverware for the apps and never received them.
The redone casino is very nice, but it’s too bad that their fast and casual eating establishment really misses the mark in all areas.

We went to the New Golden Nugget to check out the progress on 12÷6÷2011. I had stayed there under previous ownership and thought we could get some brunch food while there, big mistake. The old eatery was gone from the upper level and this venue had taken its place. The décor is busy, visually, the chairs must weigh 60 lbs, very difficult to move away from the table, I am no lightweight mind you. I saw a host bounce against one and it literally did not move, just tetered. It was given a write-​up in local print touting the string fries, mine were cold from the time the plate came to the table. The club which I ordered came out with mayo on the side, I did not order it that way! Ever tried putting mayo on a triangle sliced club! I got through three pieces of it only to find a foreign ‘string’ I hope, in the last piece. It was explained to me that it was from a pickle. The only pickle on my plate was the lenghtwise slice that was skewered and stuck on the top of one section of the sandwich. I was offered another item but refused, appetite was gone. All in all service was poor from our waiter, we waited alot! Although he did peer out of the kitchen into the dining room repeatedly. I hope they split tips! Four hosts at the front station on several occaisons, come on! Not to mention the ‘Odor’ that came through the dining room and loud contractors arguing over contracts and payment in the dining room. All in all a very bad experience. I hope Landrys’ other venues are better in the New Golden Nugget!

I don’t know who this Michael Patrick is, but he needs to find a new profession. I stopped in here for Sunday morning breakfast. What a huge mistake. I should have went to a local dumpster and ate there cause Michael Patrick’s food is garbage. I sat down and was given a menu with a red sticky substance between the menu pages. I mean come on. You guys are new and already don’t care? Clean the friggin menus! I ordered the french toast and a side of bacon. The french toast was inexplicably disgusting. I can’t even attempt to conjure up an appropriate slew of adjectives to fully convey how nasty this was. I am not even sure how you screw up french toast but this Michael Patrick fool did and he screwed it up good. Real good. Just what a casino wants, a pissed off guest early in the morning. Shortly after attempting to ingest the crappy french toast, I think a side of bacon was thrown on the table by the the I-​dont-​care-​about-​providing-​anything-​close-​to-​acceptable-​service waiter. I say «I think» because the these things that were on the plate looked like charred pieces of shit. In addition to being ice cold, these «things» were completely void of anything that even remotely resembled bacon. Honestly, if I didn’t know I ordered bacon and you put this on a plate in front of me I would have to ask what it was. Michael Patrick fucked up bacon. BACON! How can one do that? I dined with a buddy. I don’t currently currently recall his comments (although his experience was better then mine) but I do know that he ordered an orange juice. The juice was in a very small cup and cost five dollars. I expect to pay a premium at a casino but this orange juice for five dollars is completely ridiculous. Five bucks for a shot of orange juice. Unbelieveable. This place sucks. I will never go back unless Michael Patrick hands in his chef hat.
