  • July 2016: What happened? The five star quality from a visit back in June of this year did not prove consistent. We went for brunch today, after I raved about this place, and it was not that great. Food: If you see the review below, for June 2017, it was great! There were cool items on the menu and the dishes were fantastic. They did not have the bagel with lox/salmon and cream cheese that was on their menu the last time, which was disappointing as it was delicious. Instead they had mussels with lemongrass, which were OK. We ordered the summer corn chowder which was grossly disappointing and extremely bland. The buttermilk pancakes were good, the kids loved the French toast and strawberry crepes, and we did like the fruit parfait. The burrito was just OK. The turkey and bacon sandwich was way too heavy and a disappointment. The meatball crostini was a fail when compared to top restaurants with incredible meatball recipes. The biggest fail, though, was the shrimp and grits. I raved about how good this was the last time that I was there. Our waiter today told us that the dish comes with only one prawn and grits per person, so he ordered three prawns as there were three people. The prawns were good, but the grits were a massive disappointment. They were light and airy the last time and absolutely delicious. This time, they were overly thick and placed like a paste on the plate, like a decoration rather than food. It did not work. The last time they came in a bowl full of grits with three shrimp in it and it was just for me and it was perfect. This time, it was literally a thin paste of overly thick grits, underseasoned, with prawns. The menu states $42 for everything on the menu with no limits. I don't see why it's one prawn per person. That was not an issue last time and this is why it worked so well last time. Service: this left a lot to be desired. For the first time, I tipped a waiter the minimum rather than going over which is what I usually do. It turned out that we had a way better waiter the last time. The last waiter was experienced and apparently put all of our orders in as family style. It worked! The service was great. This waiter was not all that present, his staff did more work than he did, he kept asking for how many people was the order for which was very annoying and confusing as it was very different the last time that we were there, and the family style isn't that much bigger, and it took forever to bill our credit cards. Overall, it was very disappointing compared to the first time that I was there and there was absolutely no consistency in terms of how good the last time was compared to how average and not so great it was this time. Chances are that I will be asking to go to other places on the strip for brunch. I had hoped to find something off the strip, but this restaurant, for me, proves that it's a hit or miss for brunch. I am not OK with that. June 2017: This is a review for brunch. We went earlier today, on Sunday, at 12 PM. The location is beautiful and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. When the weather is not very hot or very cold, a table outside is a must if you can get it. Overlooking a man-made small lake with beautiful homes surrounding it, with an absolute peaceful and surreal picture, it is relaxing and makes you think you left Las Vegas for a vacation. The restaurant is beautiful. It is open and airy and the lobby going into the restaurant is rich with posh comfortable sofas and a beautiful bar. You feel at home right away. The service is wonderful. They are very attentive and they are very friendly. If they can do anything to make your dining experience better, they will. The menu for brunch is fantastic! It is all you can eat off the menu for $42. If you want to add bottomless Mimosas or bloody Marys, it is another $17. I ordered the shrimp and grits which was perfection. I ordered the lox with bagel and cream cheese which was delicious. I ordered the French toast which was quite yummy and the fruit parfait which was incredible. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict which he loved, along with a Caesar salad and wedge salad which he loved as well. We simply could not eat more because we were full, but everything was delicious.I did have them almost Mimosas and my friend had the bottomless bloody Mary, both delicious.
