| - We ate here several times while staying at the Mirage, and had mixed experiences.
The decor here is very nice and a lovely change from standard Vegas strip/casino restaurant style. It is a light, bright, country store in the 1920's style - perhaps something you'd expect walking into the book Fried Green Tomatoes. It's tasteful and restful on the eyes after all the bright lights and jarring colours elsewhere.
Our first stop was in the evening. My husband and I had been out walking the strip all day and were desperately hot and thirsty, and wanted a snack before the show we were headed to (Terry Fator!) but weren't ready for dinner. The service was friendly and exceptionally prompt and thorough. The waitress was chatty in a nice way, and the food was fabulous.
Our second stop was in the morning. I was meeting my parents - who were also staying at the Mirage - for breakfast. The coffee arrived promptly, but after taking our order, the waitress vanished for a long period of time. Finally, a food runner came and deposited pancakes - my dad's order - in front of him, but the rest of the orders didn't match. My dad had already grabbed the butter and his knife, was readily doctoring his pancakes when they were swooped out from in front of him, the butter taken from his hand, and the food served to another table.
I mean, ew. I know my dad, so it's fine, but if it had been my food and I'd seen that happen? I'd have been horrified.
As we watched several tables seated well after us receive their food, we started to wonder about our own. We hadn't seen the waitress in some time, so finally flagged her down. She promised to check on our food and got us some additional coffee.
After quite a long wait again, our food arrived. My suspicion is that the waitress hadn't put the order in until we asked her about it, due to the timing involved. The blueberry pancakes were exceptional, and my extra crispy bacon order was fantastic. My parents loved their food as well, but it took us a long time to get cream refills for the coffee and even to get the check. I feel as though the waitress may have had too many tables or somesuch as she seemed very, very harried.
The next day we gave it another go for breakfast. I didn't have much of an appetite so decided on just a bagel, which was very good. Service was fair, not as bad as the day before, not as good as the first day. It took quite a bit of time once more for coffee refills.
Overall, I like the food here very much and appreciate that it is open 24 hours. However, breakfast time service seems a little hit or miss.
