| - Ok, I'll be honest: was the French Press coffee a bold, flavorful, amazing taste of torrefaction Heaven in a cup? Yes. Was it worth five bucks? Sure. I had the Tequila Sunrise plate. The flavors were all there. The chicken sausage was a nice bonus and had a pleasurable kick of spice in each bite. I had it with a side of avocado (a Huevos Rancheros must), so the total for the dish alone came to $16.50. Therein comes my gripe. This is breakfast, people. If I laid that amount of cash down at Hash House or Cracked Egg, I would have literally busted a gut. The presentation of the dish was underwhelming. The beans were literally a layer to separate the eggs from the tortilla. No rice. No pico. Not even a sprig of cilantro. I think the key missing element was a couple extra tortillas to sop up the alcohol-infused sauce. That may have even bumped my rating up another star. It just needed a lil "somethin", besides the price, to remind me that I was eating at a Strip establishment. Overall, the dining area was appealing and clean, a kind of diner-chic feel, with easy access from the parking garage. Nakisha was my server. She was prompt, friendly, smiley (but not over-smiley ;) ) and basically on-point. No complaints there. If I give this place a second chance, it will probably be at the LA location, after a night of heavy carousing. ;)
