| - Only my second time here, and a long time coming...but Oliver made it worth the wait...
I have been raving about this place for some time, but don't manage to get out to these parts often. I am sure everyone would agree a relocation can be bitter sweet considering that the current location does cater to the medical and business district surrounding the area.. Those of us that don't frequent this area suffer while the nearby patrons prosper, although, Oliver makes it worth the drive as well. If a relocation is in the future, I pray that it's not an expansion unless they can duplicate it enhance the service, otherwise, it's hard to replace the experience.
We stopped in after picking up my fiance's pops from the airport. Breakfast was on order and we all had a day off what better time to sample over of the great breakfast joints Vegas has to offer. Our walk from the parking lot included a warm greeting from the maintenance workers outside, uncommon but awesome. We were then greeted inside and conversed with Oliver again, who provided a passionate overview of the days special offerings. Everything looks up for the day ahead.
My fiance offered the chicken brie, my pops in law, the breakfast pannini, and myself, the fresh made quiche. I don't know about everyone else's dish, but the quiche was the best I had. It was most and flavorful with a good balance of ingredients. The slice is hefty and a perfect portion to hold me down till lunch rolls around. I did get to sample the fresh made chocolate truffle croissant twist as well and it was euphoric, considering I'm not much of a sweet tooth.
The ambiance is very welcoming and noticed new decorative art that added a nice touch. The over sized glossed photography art adorned the walls, but a fee more were needed towards the rear of the eating area. I believe the art resembled modern French stills. I dug it and it reminds me of the art in the original Bachi Burger, also priced for gallery sale. Staff always make you feel at home and when the weather permits, the outside patio provides a refreshing experience.
Don't forget about the coffee selection. Illy can be a little overwhelming for my taste, since I'm a black coffee person, but think will more than satisfy other coffee aficionados.
I would give this experience an overall 4.5, minus 0.5 for the location, but round it up and what do you get?? A five-star experience and coming from me, that's really saying something.
