| - My wife and I got burnt out with all the overpriced, trendy restaurants in Vegas so we decided to venture out to nearby cities for other options. Henderson area seemed to have several good restaurants, and the location seemed family friendly, so we decided to check out this place as our first option.
I was rather amazed with the food here. Even compared to many of the breakfast places in OC and LA, I thought this place was better than most of them. I always have a tough time eating out for breakfast because traditional breakfast items are extremely boring to me. I didn't find too many boring items here. Almost everything on the menu looked good, and this place did a great job making enough tweaks and twists on traditional items to make them interesting. Even the maple syrup at this place isn't typical. It uses Noble brand maple syrup, which is matured in charred oak barrel with a little bit of bourbon. It has a rather distinct, robust taste compared to other maple syrups.
I had a tough time deciding what to order because I wanted to order at least 70% of the items on the menu. I eventually narrowed it down and went with Monkey Bread, Peaches and Cream Pancakes, and Shorty Benedict.
The Monkey Bread seems to be the most popular item here because almost every table ordered one. It's a simple bread glazed with salted caramel and cinnamon sugar. It's served warm on a cast iron skillet. At first bite it kind of reminded me of a cinnamon bun, but more dense and less sweet (due to lack of icing). I didn't think it was mind-blowing or anything to have an orgasm over, but still very good. I definitely would recommend this to all first time visitors.
Peaches and Cream Pancakes were simply delicious. My wife said it was the best pancakes she ever had. I thought this was going to be too sweet and rich, but it was actually just right. There was enough sweetness but certainly not overwhelming. It was good even without any syrup, but I still poured a little bit on, just so I can experience what Noble brand syrup tastes like.
Shorty is a braised short rib Benedict, which comes with poached eggs, red wine reduction, and hollandaise on English muffin. Eggs were poached perfectly and short rib was very tender.
This place also has a decent selection of beer, wine, mimosas, and few other alcoholic beverages. I didn't see one on the menu but I saw some people drinking Bloody Mary, so there may be other alcoholic beverages not listed on the menu.
The restaurant is difficult to see from the parking lot because it's located diagonally on the corner. Just look for Shabu Shabu Paradise, which is located next to this place.
This place is pretty popular around here. We came little before 11 a.m. on a Monday and had to wait about half hour for our table. Luckily the food came out fairly quickly once we were seated. Service was friendly and attentive.
