| - We went for a Saturday brunch. I'm always looking for new places to brunch, and this one excited me. Brunch AND chocolate? What could be better?
Ambiance: This place felt like an old English pub. Very dark, with lots of wood. It was cozy, but the chairs were not the most comfortable, especially the ones with arms. If you are anything bigger than a size 12 or 14, you might want to opt for one of the armless chairs for a more comfortable dining experience.
Service: Very nice and prompt. Nothing special, but nothing to complain about.
Food. YUMMY!!!!! But WAY overpriced. We started with mocha lattes, which was one of the best I'd ever had - rich and creamy and just total perfection. But a very small portion for the $8 pricetag.
Then we shared the Well Mannered Omelet ($14 I think)- and it too was delicious perfection. There was so much goat cheese oozing from the omelet, and the side of potatoes were spiced just right. It also came with a sugar dusted biscuit and chocolate dipping sauce...mmmmm. So good.
We also shared the Illegal Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Pancakes, and ate every fabulous bite. However, $15 for pancakes is just too much to spend, even being as delicious as they were.
My friend got the Max Brenner burger. (about $15 I think) She had ordered it medium rare and it came out medium well, but they quickly fixed it for her. I didn't try the burger, but I did have several of her chocolate dusted waffle fries. YUM YUM! Who'd have thought....fries and chocolate?
Overall, I would have rated it higher except that it was just too overpriced. I guess I should have anticipated that given there were no prices on the restaurant website. And I suppose it is par for the course for a restaurant on the Strip. I might return one day for a special occasion, or just to share a chocolate dessert with some friends, but I definitely won't be a regular.
