Made LV American Tavern

Was having a craving and heard they have one of the best burgers in LV. My friend and I decided to give it a try, and were absolutely delighted. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Both of us were undecided about what to drink, and the manager brought out a few samples for each of us to try, according to what kind of tastes we liked.
The food was exceptional (don’t let the smaller size of the burger fool you, its pretty filling!) and the overall experience was great. Will definitely be going back again soon.

The birthday festivities continue!
Okay not so much this was my last spot. I wanted to try a new place with a friend who wanted to take me out for a late dinner. Honestly, I love how gourmet food looks but the presentation only goes so far for me. I skimmed through pictures my fellow Unilocalers posted and noticed some entrees were missing from the menu tonight. I believe, the menu was recently changed but everything we had was great comfort foods.
Our server and the busser were very attentive to our table. It was a bit slow so I could respect the multiple check ups we had. When I go to new places I always ask what the server likes and tonight he recommended their hummus!!! It was delicious and I highly recommend it and a great portion. We had the deviled eggs as well. I was kinda disappointed in the size it was one egg cut in half with a thick slice of crispy bacon on the side. I didn’t eat the bacon because I don’t eat pork but for the sake of credit it was really thick slice and my friend enjoyed it! I got a «spicy» chicken sandwich with a pesto sauce and shredded lettuce. It was good but nothing to rave about. I would come back to try that eggplant sandwich. We did get dessert and like must of you we got the donut bites! They were kind enough to write happy birthday on the tray. PS, we be-​careful with the candle and paper bag. I blew my candle lightly into the bag and almost set it on fire. Lol
This place reminds me of Therapy (Downtown) and Public School (Downtown Summerlin) so if those places impressed your taste buds than this one will do so as well.

The food is amazing and the service was excellent. My favorite thing was the French toast and the double bacon cheeseburger. Our busser, Blake was very good and the manager, I think his name was Brad, was always checking on us to make sure we were ok.

Three things I like to base my reviews on are: price point, service, and taste. This place is good, but nothing to write home about.
They were a little expensive for what you get. However, if you’re here for brunch, you HAVE to get the Captain Crunch French Toast!!! This thing is to die for.
Their bottomless mimosas are okay, but I wouldn’t come here again for that at $ 20/​person. Also, their service needs a little polishing. Our table was checked on a total of zero times once our food was served, with the exception of our mimosas never going dry. That is not okay.
All in all, this is a decent place to come. Good food, sub-​par service, okay prices. Their French Toast is their saving grace.
Would I recommend this place to others? Maybe.
Would I come back here myself? If I’m in the area. I won’t go out of my way to come back here.

I think if you come here for happy hour is good. We were here for brunch, the menu is very limited and no one was there.

Food and service was excellent. I went here for brunch with my best friend. We were seated immediately and a server came over right away. Our server was amazing and very attentive. The reason I took a star away are the portions are really small. I ordered the deviled eggs which were delicious but it was one egg cut in half! The bread was delicious that came with it though. I also ordered the breakfast taquitos and they were tiny surrounded by a whole lot of black beans. I just wish there was more protein on the entrée I was so hungry! The flavor was perfect but the portions nope! We had to leave and go eat a second brunch elsewhere because we were still so hungry.
It was a really cool atmosphere and I think it would be better for happy hour or a drink then a small brunch.

Unbelievable comfort food great drinks everyone here cares and you can tell. The gm walks the floor and makes sure the guests are enjoying them selves! Great atmosphere as well. Felt at home with an upscale vibe. Will be back for the hospitality

Awesome awesome awesome! Fun place to have a bite with friends and just enjoy the evening! Food was delicious and drinks were yummy!

I’ve only been here twice with my wife, once for lunch and once for brunch.
I’d say the food just by itself gives this Tavern-​style eatery 4 stars.
Maybe we’ve gotten lucky with the team, but our servers have been the reason I rate this restaurant 5 stars. Not just friendly, but personable, and always moving with a sense of urgency while still remaining upbeat. You can tell when you’re around people who genuinely enjoy coming to work.
It was and hopefully will continue to be a pleasure dining at Made!

So basically… I love their new menu!!! I was skeptical at first, mainly because my last experience was extremely underwhelming. However, after a strenuous cross fit work out… We opted to grab something light and relax.
Please note… Monday nights are industry nights! 25 percent off to anyone working in the industry. Yay!
We were sat and given water promptly. The menu has changed to include more vegan/​vegetarian items! Whoo hoo big plus. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower, no cheese or ranch… Omg!!! The best buffalo cauliflower I’ve ever eaten. I’m planning on trying to recreate this in my own kitchen. The chili flakes and jalepenos were utter perfection, added into an already amazing dish! I also ordered the edamame. Large portion and it was seasoned to utter perfection. This is Another dish I would love to try to recreate! My friend ordered the Chinese chicken salad and said it was amazing. Again, another heaping portion! We each had a glass of wine and just enjoyed the ambiance of what has now become one of my new favorite spots.
The service was great and everyone was extremely attentive. My food came out with cheeSe and they fixed it without dirty looks and seemed to be apologetic. Our waters never ran dry and they even boxed our food for us.
Overall this place went from 2.5 stars to 4 stars. Good job on the new menu selection and kudos to your staff for amazing service! We will be back!

I’ve been to Made LV several times now and I’m a fan: twice for lunch and once for brunch. Everything was delicious, which isn’t a surprise since it’s owned by the same awesome chefs who operate Honey Salt (at the northwest corner of Rampart and Charleston), and the Anderiron Steakhouse (on the north end of Downtown Summerlin). Each of these restaurants seems to have it’s own unique menu, so you’re not going to get the same taste buds tickled at the various locations. Sitting in one the southeast corner of Tivoli Village, Made LV is easy to get to and easy to find.
Last time I was there for lunch I had the Lunch Box. I opted for the Grilled Cheese (you get a selection of sandwiches to choose from) and Tomato Soup. The time before that they were offering a special and it was too good to pass up: a Wagu Skirt Steak Sandwich with Bleu Cheese crumbles, a Chimichura marinade and crispy onions. So good… there aren’t words to describe the food magic that was happening!
The brunch is wonderful too. I tried (and highly recommend) the Corned Beef Hash breakfast. Cooked just right and It comes with sunny side up eggs on top. My son had the Cap’n Crunch French Toast: topped with a sprinkling of bacon pieces and the famous Cap’n Crunch serial served on top of the large, syrupy pieces of French Toast.
There’s indoor and outdoor seating, with room for groups. Inside is bigger than it looks with seating directly in front of you when you walk in, and the bar straight behind that. Kind of hidden away and to the back left, there’s even more seating. If you prefer outside, there’s covered seating with a cool chandelier tables, and even a small fire pit with seating around it.
As with all the businesses in Tivoli Village, there’s tons of covered parking in the underground garage. So park in comfort, then head upstairs to MadeLV to satisfy your culinary needs. Oh, be sure to ask for Jeff. He’s a great waiter!

Finally, after lusting after some Instagram photos and peering through the windows on our way to nearby restaurants — we tried Made LV during happy hour last Wednesday. I was pleased to see dog bowls outside (heaters, too!), boyfriend was excited about the plethora of TVs strategically placed about the bar, the high tops were comfy and everything felt just right in terms of environment. Clean, new, organized, appropriate.
Drinks: meh. Bartender was cool and helpful explaining that although this «special» vodka drink was advertised to have blood orange juice, that was out of season so it was made with plain orange juice. Glad we asked. Boyfriend ordered it anyway. I had a margarita that I’m not entirely sure was or was not created with a pre-​made mix. It’s happy hour, whatever. $ 5 each.
Food: «Dirty mac and cheese» was a delight, the crackers on top are genius. I’d been wanting macaroni and cheese for awhile, this was a treat. Again, helpful bartender ushered me toward the HH menu chicken tacos, which were the same as the regular menu yet cheaper. They were adequate, however, wish I would have asked for some hot sauce or salsa… something to add spice. I understand wanting to make it appealing to the masses, being able to add is easier than take away… but really they needed something. My boyfriend had the BBQ pork sandwich and he confessed at the end that more sauce would have been nice. He at the whole thing anyway, I didn’t even get a bite. Nonetheless, his sweet potato fries and mustard aioli were the best part of the meal. I LOVE sweet potato fries and this was a superb portion. The aioli (can you tell I’m a sauce person yet?) was super.
My third taco (they were small and I was hungry, okay?) I bit into a bone. I’m not one to fuss about stuff, but since this is a new place and detail matters I pointed it out to the manager as he took my plate away (you know, just for future chickens to be served safely and whatnot.) He was gracious and apologized, took a little off the bill and offered a dessert. We declined the doughnuts and regretted it some later.
Will most likely return for gamedays (they have the NFL package) and bring the pup on a warm day when we can sit outside.

I had the pleasure at dining at Made LV this past weekend after months of wanting to check it out. We had a bridal shower here for my sister-​in-​law and I was beyond impressed by the quality of their food/​drinks and superior customer service. They had us tucked away in the back for privacy and turned down the music so that we could all mingle and talk. They helped me carry the flowers and move tables around to ensure that we had a great layout for the bridal shower.
We ordered a few drinks and sampled a couple of their wines. I loved the moscow mule made with jameson. Not a big fan of whiskey, but my mom happened to order it thinking it had vodka in it. I was very impressed with the drink, which was not overly scented with whisky which is my main complaint about whiskey in general. I also tried the cherry tart pinot, sauvinon blanc and they let us order a couple bottles of champagne even though the menu states that you can only order it by the glass.
For food, we ordered several appetizers, including the edamame, pretzel bites, cheese fondue, and hummus plate. The edamame was fine, it was flavored with todashi spices and felt like it could have used a little more. The pretzel bites and cheese fondue were my favorite. The sauces that came with the pretzel bites were awesome and the cheese fondue with homemade potatoe chips was interesting and tasty. The hummus was good, but needed to include more pita bread and veggies for dipping. We asked for more and they gladly brought it to us.
We played some games and they did not rush us or anything and constantly were checking up on us to see if we needed anything. Desert came later on, which was of course my favorite part! There were some sugar and maybe cinnamon covered donut holes with a jam dipping sauce which was fantastic! My favorite thing we had all night. We also had s’mores nachos which tasted as good as they sound. Instead of tortilla chips, there were graham crackers-​so so good.
All in all, it was a great event with major credit goes to the hostess of the event for finding Made LV. Props to Gatsby (yes that is her real name-​amazing!!), who was so pleasant and attentive. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back and try the lunch and dinner menu!

We came to Made LV American Tavern for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was low key and mellow. Perfect for our lazy weekend state of mind.
We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated promptly. The space was mostly full, but there were a couple of open tables. Our server, Gatsby– in addition to having a cool name– was so nice throughout our visit! She stopped by right after we sat down to give us the scoop on the specials and the AYCD cocktails. The manager also checked on us a couple of times during our meal.
We got the bottomless mimosa $ 22 and Shandy $ 20, plus a couple of iced teas. The mimosa was stronger than expected for an AYCD and very good. I did not try the Shandy.
CHICKEN CHILI $ 6.50– Amazing! ⁵⁄₅. It was a bit more like a stew, than a thick winter chili, but the flavor profile was complex and vibrant. Not very spicy either.
BACON CHEDDAR BISCUITS WITH HONEY SALT BUTTER $ 4.50– ours seemed a a little burnt, but they were still quite tasty and the butter is very good.
BIG EASY BENEDICT $ 13.00– Delicious! ⁵⁄₅. Country ham, eggs, and creole hollandaise on bacon cheddar biscuits. Served with home fries. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the twist on hollandaise sauce was fantastic.
CLASSIC BREAKFAST $ 11.50– Very good ⁵⁄₅. Pretty standard breakfast of two eggs, bacon, crispy potatoes, and grilled bread, but all items were prepared how I like them and tasted very good. The roasted tomato chutney was outstanding.
BAG OF DONUT HOLES $ 7.00– OMG! The menu says that these warm orbs of heaven come with salted caramel sauce, but ours came with the most deliciously orgasmic blackberry jam that I could have just eaten with a spoon if I forgot I was in public. So good!

Overall, this was kind of a letdown for me. Off to a poor start by calling in my lunch takeout and waiting half an hour for it– eventually the manager asked if I was doing okay, and my packed order had been sitting behind the bar for who knows how long. There were only four tables seated, and two additional employees present. Seems odd that they couldn’t keep up with that.
Service issues aside, the food was underwhelming.
They offer a $ 14 half-​sando, half-​soup lunch combo with chips and a «dessert». The eggplant pastrami sandwich looked impressive but had an overwhelming peppery taste to it, as if that’s the only thing it was seasoned with. The tomato and mozzarella salad was a miniscule portion, but good flavor: one slice of mozz chopped into quarters and half a tomato. Chips were seasoned, dessert was a cookie from a Costco tray.
Just because I’ve heard so much about it, I added on an order of the dirty mac. This was decent– hearty, cheesy, and saucy. I’m not a fan of peas but they work in this version. That said, I detected no Ritz but the flavors were okay. Wasn’t wowed.
Interior is nicely decorated, and I dig their chalkboard menus over the butcher area. The bar is simple, industrial-​style, and they have some outdoor seating facing Alta. But when the service and food both fail to deliver, I’m unlikely to return. I may pop back in for their 4:00 — 6:00 HH one of these days though.

On Cinco de Mayo, Made LV American Tavern was the most attractive dining choice in Tivoli Village because my husband and I could get seated immediately. Cantina Laredo, on the other hand, had an astounding two hour wait! So much for having Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo, right? But, I digress…
EGGPLANT RUBEN ($ 10): Made LV’s menu is quite small and there are even fewer options available for vegetarians. In all my years, however, I’ve never seen an eggplant ruben! The sauerkraut was barely detectable, as was the 1000 island dressing. The eggplant itself seemed to be void of any seasonings. The sandwich overall was just okay. I wouldn’t get it again, but it was worth a shot. The meal came with a big bag of house chips, but I would’ve preferred fries!
SMOKEHOUSE BURGER ($ 12.50): Hubby promptly demolished this meaty burger and gave it the thumbs up. I helped myself to his bag of fries. :)
SERVICE: Made LV seriously fell short on service. Our server took about 5 minutes to greet us and take our orders. Then, he hardly checked up on us thereafter. My husband’s coke was empty for days before it was refilled. The server didn’t smile or attempt to feign friendliness, and I just felt like we were bothering him.
AMBIANCE: Loved the industrial feel inside Made LV. I realized towards the end of my meal that there was a whole separate seating area behind the bar. Wish I would’ve sat there instead (since it’s 21+)! There’s an outdoor patio dining area as well.
Worth a Return Visit?
My eggplant ruben wasn’t particularity spectacular and the service was lackluster, but I’d be down to come back to Made LV to give them a second try.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #74

Cute cute cute! This place is pretty awesome.
Went straight to the bar for Happy Hour (HH is from 4pm-​6pm). Unfortunately there really wasn’t anything too good on the HH menu so I just ordered from the regular menu.
Me and my friend got the Lunch Box which comes with half sandwich with either soup or salad. I got the roast beef sandwich with Caesar salad. The salad was the best Caesar salad I ever had in my entire life. I do not know what they put in that salad but I had to refrain from licking the bowl! It also came with dessert which was a chocolate cookie with milk which was the perfect completion to our meal. I wish I had another cookie! the roast beef sandwich was pretty good as well. It had a ton of meat and the bread was toasted perfectly. Also came with potato chips.
I had questions about the wines and the bartender let me sample it before i bought it. That was appreciated. My friend settled with the pear cider which tasted like juice! Yum.
Menu is pretty condensed. Not much on the menu but it looked promising.
Overall, it was a great meal. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was good.

We were on the search for something new when we came upon Made LV Tavern in Tivoli Village. The menu is full of comfort food that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside!
Bacon Cheddar Biscuits sounded like a great way to start the meal. They came with a honey butter salt dip. The biscuits were soft but I only had a bite because I know my husband loves biscuits so I let him have them. They didn’t last too long ! I had some salt and pepper kettle chips coming out so I didn’t mind. My chips came with smoked onion dip. They were served warm and toasty and were delicious.
I had the fried chicken entrée with mashed potatoes and a side of collard greens. The chicken was really tender but I really wanted the chicken to be crunchier like Popeye’s or KFC. It was well seasoned and it went well with the mashed potatoes. I’m not a big fan of collard greens but I had a little because I know they are good for you.
I wanted to taste my husband’s burger since I gave him the biscuits. The burger was super tasty even though he had his burger cooked very well done. (I prefer medium rare) If you are looking for a good burger you should check this place out!
We took the donut holes that came with caramel sauce to go. We needed to digest a little so after the short drive home we were ready for them. They were fluffy and lightly sugared. A perfect ending to a comforting meal!

Nice décor all around with a beautiful patio area.
We came in for happy hour and sat around a very busy bar. The tables were almost on top of each other and it felt like it was one big party. This would have been cool but the large group behind me was all senior citizens who were shouting extra loud. This part wasn’t exactly fun as my high top chair was being bumped every few mins as they got up to socialize.
The bar area is fairly small but I have to give this place credit for very cool décor. It’s comfortable and and I’m sure our experience would have been a lot better if we didn’t choose the bar this evening.
The HH menu is ok. We chose the smoked
onion dip that came with salty house chips which were very good. Next we ordered the chopped chicken liver because one of the parties next to us told us we had to get it. Again these folks weren’t invited but we were sitting on top of each other so it was mandatory to be friends. I hated this one and not sure what I was thinking as I’m not a liver kind of girl. We also tried the ham & cheese board which was great. I’m a sucker for cheese!!! We also tried a burger and it was very good. A simple burger with lots of flavor. Lastly came dessert and we ordered the bag of donut holes with salted caramel sauce that I could have eaten off of anything! We also had a few beers and margaritas. I was impressed by the sampling of their beers if you weren’t familiar with something, very cool touch!
Overall food was great, décor was very cool, service was great until the very end but the cramming in the bar sucked.
When our bill came at the end we noticed we didn’t receive any happy hour prices which sucked because we specifically came in for that and ordered off the HH menu. We didn’t bring it up because at this point it was getting too claustrophobic and we just wanted some fresh air.

I saw online that Made LV was having a Mardi Gras prix fixe dinner and I had to go. The dinner was hosted by «Back of the House Brawl’s» Jolene Maninna and Chef Canteenwalla. I made a reservation for the start time at 6:30 and got there a few minutes before.
The back of the restaurant was reserved for the dinner. A server brought me an iced tea and suggested I might want to sit on the patio until they were ready. I was joined by two women with whom I shared the rest of the evening and proved to be most excellent company.
In a short time, we were invited indoors and we took our seats at a four seat high top. The food in order of presentation consisted of: mini muffalettas, chicken gumbo, stuffed artichoke, jambalaya, and Cajun crawfish boil. For dessert, we were served king cupcakes and hot beignets. All the food was very good with two standouts, the gumbo and the jambalaya. The broth of the gumbo was very rich and the jambalaya had a good amount of andouille, shrimp, and chicken. I am not a crawfish person but it was OK for one night to mess with these little creatures and suck out the small amount of meat each one provides. My feeling is that any crawfish should be served out of shell in an étoufée.
The king cupcakes did not have a baby baked in any of them out of fear that someone would swallow one while eating the cupcake too quickly. At our table, we all used forks to eat the cupcakes just in case and then our server explained why there were none. The beignets were delicious and served very warm. Fresh was the word for sure!
This was a fun two hours. Served family style and getting a chance to eat with previous strangers, it was a marvelous Mardi Gras evening. The stand out besides the food was the wonderful staff. Our server was John. He had a great personality, used our names when talking with us, and was on top of everything. Other staff came by the replace serving plates or bring a basket with more mini muffalettas and everyone was in good form!
I hope Chef Canteenwalla continues special events like this. The price was good, the food was great, and the entire evening was enjoyable and memorable.
