| - This review is primarily for one dish: the Eggs Benedict Florentine, which according to the menu entails: sautéed spinach, soft poached eggs, toasted english muffin and sauce choron. I was not familiar with this french sauce, and took the chance that the carefully selected menu would not disappoint upon this inclusion. I also ordered the chicken apple sausage as a benedict in my world is not complete without an accompanying meat or fish.
I highly recommend both; the muffin stayed crisp through the sauce, and the 'lightly poached' description on the egg was accurate - it was a beautiful sphere that was balanced on the spinach on each muffin half, cloaked in a coral glaze. The composition was spectacular, and the weighty flatware made the physical act of cutting bites its own bounty of pleasure. With a crisp, firm, moist sausage to absorb the perfectly runny yolk and more of this intriguing sauce, the dish blew my mind.
In the new era of quality - even on the casino floor - I wasn't surprised the dish was good, but I didn't expect it to be excellent and memorable. One of the best breakfasts I've had in quite a while.
