| - THEcafe, many times we have stayed at THEhotel and never was THEcafe open, till now and I must say it was worth the wait without question. This was a great breakfast!! I ordered the Dry Aged Ribeye and 3 Eggs and the wife orders the Bacon and 2 Eggs with a side of pancakes. To begin with the steak was at least a 10 oz and would have set you back minimum twice as much at any steak place on the Strip, or back home for that matter. Cooked perfectly medium with a nice char on the edges, they somehow know how I like a breakfast steak it seems, lightly seasoned just salt and pepper to taste the steak and not some sauce . Both meals had absolutely perfect eggs, I am a scrambled person and the wife is over medium and both were perfectly done and served hot despite cooking time differences in the two. It has been said by some chefs that an egg is one of the hardest things to cook right, due to the sensitivity to temperature of the proteins. THEcafes cook has definitely figured that out in any style you like. The hash browns were the star, aside from the steak of course, they are a caramelized onion and parsley hash that are both seasoned and crisped to a golden brown. They are not greasy like some places make them, ughh, and not cooked dry to the extent of turning to patties of starch covered in bland seasoning. Extremely good is what they are! The pancakes, while not my particular favorite ,style was wonderfully done, sweet with a crisp exterior made of a heavier batter more cake like than I am used to, but very good. The coffee, while sevred in a carafe, French Press would be nice :), was deep and richly flavored with nice a fresh finish to it and no aftertaste to cover the food up. It is a definite go to for at least one breakfast each trip, when they are open. Sadly the pics I took Foursquare dropped so I have no shots of deliciousness to share :(
