| - I've been here a few times in the past, however, this was my first visit in two years. I had just wrapped up a family photo session at the Conservatory and it was perfect timing - obviously we were very close in proximity and the long line had just dissipated - so, we were seated immediately.
The restaurant has great views with the Conservatory on one side and their pool viewable through the large windows on the other side. It's also open 24/7! The menu changes throughout the day making it feel more like fine dining than a 24-hour Vegas cafe, of course, with breakfast served late at night.
I chose the Bellagio Classic Omelet ($18) with Maine lobster, asparagus, mozzarella, roasted tomato, and hash browns. The omelet was beautiful! Fluffy and perfect with ample amount of lobster, uniform chops of asparagus, and gooey mozzarella. The roasted tomato, although rather small for the amount of omelet, was succulent and left me wanting more. The hash browns were a surprising delight. If I had a choice, hash browns are the last form of potato I'd order because of its usual terrible preparation of undercooked, dry potato shreds under the crunchy exterior of flattop cooking or simply missing the crispy texture. These hash browns were extraordinary. The amazing crunch on the outside and the potatoes on the inside were moist and cooked perfectly. There was an addition of chopped parsley that made these the best hash browns I've ever had. If everyone made hash browns like this, I might actually order them!
Another fabulous detail is that they serve Bonne Manan natural preserves in small individual jars with your toast. We were offered Wild Blueberry, Strawberry, and my favorite, Orange Marmalade. Yum!
