I wish that I could tell you how me and two girl friends wound up in this empty restaurant at 10am on New Year's Day. Walking through the Venetian and Palazzo we became very antsy to settle down somewhere as just about every place didn't fit the bill for our brunch cravings. Call it frustration but we ended up settling at Morels and knew that we had made a good decision once our waiter showed up. An older gentleman, he was very entertaining and started joking with us on the spot. We ordered up mimosas and a Bloody Mary that was made on a cart right in front of our table.
For my meal, I went for the Crab Oscar Benedict that lacked a bit of a special kick but I managed to finish every last bite. My friends enjoyed their steak and eggs and turkey club served alongside pommes frites. While it was probably more of an elaborate meal than we needed, it was quite funny to look back on.
I'm sure this place is a bit more crowded at night time when the ambiance provides a elegant backdrop to a night out in Vegas. But I'm almost happy when that we came at a less popular time so that we could take in our waiter's company and cause a bit of a scene without being judged.
