I wanted pie. I like the pies at Marie Calendars. This is the only reason I chose to eat lunch here.\n\nI ordered two veggie items from their \"light\" menu. The image of the pasta shell and veggies made it look like it was 2/3rd veggies and 1/3rd pasta. The item that arrived was 4/5th pasta and 1/5 veggie, and very oil-heavy. Those few veggies present looked like \"dwarf-veggies\" -- imagine carrots but much smaller. Same with other veggies. There was a thin pool of oil and over half of the pasta remained in this dish before I stopped eating it. I'd bet local, repeat customers prefer pasta.\n\nI also ordered a salad, but the lettuce was the most wilted I've had in a salad in Las Vegas in this last trip. Veggies also suffered from looking less than crisp, and limp.\n\nThe only saving grace was the pie. It was delicious.\n\nIf I am to return here, it will only be for pie and tea -- I'll eat the meal somewhere else.\n\nFood prepared at other Marie Calendars (outside Las vegas) does not suffer like this. it is possible all Las Vegas Marie Calendars have similar quality, but I didn't visit them.\n\nIf not for the pie, this place would get 1 star.
