| - 4.5 stars! This was my first visit to The Tap and I'll definitely be back soon, for breakfast again and/or to try their lunch and dinner menu.
My boyfriend and I came in on a day off to enjoy a relaxed breakfast that wasn't from a traditional "diner" atmosphere/cuisine; so I went to the most trustworthy of resources- YELP! and was happy with the consistently good reviews of this bar/restaurant and even more pleased to see they served breakfast so we decided to give it a try.
The interior is a cozy space with a bar vibe first and foremost; it has an unfinished, industrial style and a large patio that I can definitely see myself enjoying during the summer evenings. Even though the accommodations feel like you're in a "bar", the extensive, Mexican inspired, menu with unique dishes are anything but standard "bar food". Matching the rustic but refined interior- high quality food and drinks. They feature two specialty cocktail menus; one devoted completely to Bloody Mary interpretations- Yum!
For breakfast, Taylor tried the "All American"-exactly what it sounds like: eggs, potatoes, choice of meat and bread, with a regular drink included. The sausage was really high quality, I am usually leery of ordering it but I would order it for myself in the future. And I had the classic Benedict...
Now let's digress on the Benedict for a moment; I have lived in Vegas for several months now and have yet to find a diner or breakfast place that poaches an egg for the dish (and the hollandaise is often lacking). STOP THE PRESS! The Tap actually makes a true Benedict by poaching your eggs! And they have a pretty good hollandaise to boot, I'd prefer a touch of lemon but the consistency and richness is exactly what it should be. The search for a Benedict worth the title is over! I'll be back for the Benny for sure!
With attentive service and reasonable prices, I will definitely be back for a lunch or dinner service and update accordingly.
