Date: Multiple times...yes it's that good.

Menu Item: Morbid Mac "N" Cheese
Menu Description: Smooth Béchamel Finished with Lots o' Morbier and other favorites with Herb Toasted Panko. Yes it still is "a Magical Synergy!"

This is one of those dishes where I will eat it every time I go there.  I'll think about getting another item that looks amazing and when the server gets there, I'll immediately change my mind.  The crunchiness on top is to die for and there is a hint of nutmeg?  I think it's nutmeg.  I don't know...but there are certainly correct when they say "Magical Synergy".  It's not too salty which many mac & cheese entrees are.  Epic Win, Public House.

Menu Item: Kraft Mac & Cheese with a can of tuna
Menu Description: One of Amber's all-time favorites

This is one of my favorite mac & cheese items to make.  I use non-fat milk and no butter so it's not as bad on the calories.  I add a can of tuna and have a pretty quick meal.  It makes my mouth water AND it's super inexpensive.  Good college food if I do say so myself!

Menu Item: Mr. Dean's Mac & Cheese
Menu Description: Cheeeeesy Pasta, Panko Crust

This is the 2nd time I've had a mac & cheese item from Serendipity 3 in Vegas.  Last time I went I had the mac & cheese flatbread.  It was AWESOME.  I came back in January and had to make a stop to have it again.  Unfortunately, they only offer this on their summer menu. BOO!

So I decided to try Mr. Dean's Mac & Cheese. YES, YES, YES!  Very tasty, but a very LARGE portion.  I could barely eat a 1/4 of it.  I will definitely be back for my next trip to Vegas and hope I can get the mac & cheese flat bread again.

Menu Item: Maccaroni & Cheese
Menu Description: Maccaroni noodle baked with cheese, bacon, and bread crumbs

Not a very descriptive menu but of course it was mac & cheese so I needed to try it.  Very tasty mac & cheese!  The pasta was the perfect texture.  Many places overcook their pasta and this was certainly not the case.  The only thing I would be concerned about is the saltiness.  The cheese sauce was already pretty salty, but the bacon REALLY added to that. 

Overall, I enjoyed this dish and would go back.  The others in my party had the Ravioli Forza Italia and Gnocchi Matriciana.  I tried a bite of each.  YUM! I'm such a fat kid...
