| - Impressive and totally unexpected; a healthy, trendy, farm to table eatery in the sketchy confines of Downtown Vegas.
Serving only breakfast and lunch. Short but well thought out menu that uses the same ingredients throughout.
Right to it, the fried to order beignets are phenomenal. Crispy, lightly sweetened pillows topped with powdered sugar. Eat them while they're hot, with the melting side of vanilla mascarpone and tart fruit jam. Yum. The egg white frittata filled with spinach, tomatoes, olives and feta is equally good. Aggressively seasoned and not dry.
For lunch, the "DWBLT" (smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and chipotle mayo sourdough sandwich) is vibrant and refreshing with a decent kick. The grilled aged cheddar sandwich on sourdough with a fresh tomato salad a definite winner of a reinvented classic.
Good prices. Friendly service.
Hopefully the menu evolves with the seasons. For now, a welcome addition to the blah food scene of downtown but by no means a destination restaurant.
Side note - Thank you Vegas yeep Leonel M. whose review made me break my self imposed, five plus year hiatus from town to eat at Eat.
