Hey all, so we went to Mix Sunday evening and I asked around about what's going to happen to it with the Delano rebrand. The manager confirmed the name would be changed and the menu will be changing, but they have a recently executed five year lease so the restaurant will be staying around for a while. The decor may be changed in the spring but probably not before that. The big issue they're working on is that apparently the upper level flying saucer doesn't comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act so the restaurant is no longer permitted to use it. I guess regulation trumps common sense, so the restaurant is not able to just not try to seat someone in a wheel chair in an area only accessible by stairs, they can't use it at all now. So, they're deciding if and when they may shut down for a month or two to alter, rip out or replace that part of the venue.
That being the case, if anyone is considering booking something between now and next spring, it could be risky since Mandalay has been known to cancel contracts for remodels. They screwed people who had receptions booked at Fleur De Lys (closed to remodel and become Fleur), Rum Jungle (closed) and China Grill (closed). I wouldn't be surprised if they do choose to close it for a remodel, that they won't care about who has it booked during the time they choose.
Anyway, service and food were stellar as always. Only three people are left that were working on our wedding night so that was sad. Rev Roland who married us joined us for dinner so that part was great; he's really interesting when you have a few hours to get to know him better.
