| - I don't just throw around my five-stars. I'm very stingy with them, actually, so that's saying something right there.
We went to brunch there on a lark while on a trip to the Apple Store in The Forum Shops. I'd passed by once before and had heard good things and the brunch menu looked tasty. A little on the high side for breakfast, but we figured for the Strip, it wasn't bad and decided to give it a shot.
First, the smell. Oh sweet holy moses on the halfshell, it was DIVINE. The smoky smell of bacon wafting through the restaurant mingled with the rich cocoa scents and it was all just... sublime.
Our server was Brenda and she was fabulous. Attentive, bubbly, not overly hover-y, she didn't rush us and she had a charming, dishy way about her that I loved. I could drink with her.
I had the Huevos Rancheros Burrito which was scrambled eggs, chorizo, tomatoes and pepper jack in a red pepper (It was red, I'm just guessing) wrap. It was served with some glorious house potatoes with a chipotle sour cream drizzled on it with pico de gallo. The whole thing kind of made my eyes roll into the back of my head. My toes were curling. I'm just sayin'.
He had the Lazy Breakfast of scrambled eggs, chorizo & onions with a side of the same potatoes (sans orgasmic chipotle magic). It was also served with a sugar-dusted buttermilk biscuit, a dish of softened butter and a "lick" (a small dish) of melted milk chocolate, which he added to his biscuit with the butter.
He loved his breakfast, but after tasting my burrito, wished he'd gotten that, but still raved for several hours about how good breakfast was. The sugared biscuit with the butter and the chocolate combo was brilliant.
We finished up, he with an 80's shake (vanilla bourbon ice cream, milk chocolate shake with a hard chocolate shell) and I with a Mexican hot cocoa (with cinnamon, nutmeg and other stuff). Both perfect cappers to our meal.
We left full, satisfied but not sluggish and with plenty of leftovers which I whipped up into breakfast tacos for dinner last night.
Our tab was $48, which is about double what we'd normally pay for breakfast, but we don't normally have milkshakes and frou frou cocoa with it, either. But we both agreed: WORTH EVERY PENNY. (Especially since we got dinner out of it, too.)
We talked about that meal all day, how it put us in a great mood. The power of chocolate is mighty. I can't wait to go back.
