| - The Henry is The Cosmopolitan's version of a coffee shop; of course it's amped up a bit as far as decor, food selections, and price. It shows that it's open 24 hours, but I saw a sign there once that said something about going upstairs to eat, so I can't confirm that.
We ate breakfast here twice during our stay and felt similarly about it both times. The food is decent/good, depending on what you get. Over the two days, I had a taste of:
-Short Ribs Benedict: sounded amazing on the menu, and was good, but not my particular favorite. Potato on the bottom (it was crispy at one point, but the heavy short rib/benedict sauce did away with that), short rib on top of that, and then poached egg with a tiny bit of caviar on the very top. Nice presentation and preparation, but flavors were just ok for me. Jim G. enjoyed it.
-Huevos Rancheros: I deconstructed mine so as to avoid the tortillas. I think I may have made them better that way. The components were too separated otherwise. This way, I was able to mix together the carne asada, bell peppers, cheese, avocado, and ranchero sauce. It was simple, but good. I wish they had some sort of jalapenos or something; I asked and somehow there aren't any in the whole kitchen?
-Day two we sampled some omelettes. Not too overcooked and full of ingredients. Solid breakfast.
Where The Henry goes wrong is the service. SLOW! Sometimes it's slow with a smile, other times it's slow with a bewildered look. I feel like I spent half our meal with head turned, searching for someone to bring us something fairly standard, some accompaniment to our meal. Don't go there if you're in a hurry, that's for sure. If you just need breakfast the morning after? Then The Henry works just fine; you won't be amazed, but you'll certainly be full.
