| - [Out-of-Towner Review]
It's like your local restaurant, when you take residence in the Aria for 7 days!
EXCEPT it's Vegas priced.
Let's just say I wanted a filling breakfast before work (tradeshow), so I got down there early, before the masses. There was a two person wait to get in, which was super easy. There are two lines, one for the regular patrons and one for the advanced M-life members -- which is totally normal thing in Vegas casinos!
I was seated in a comfy booth, all my my lonesome. I mentioned I had to get to work so the bus person and the server were really great with timing and speediness.
I had planned to order a very basic meal, eggs, toast, and bacon, but when I saw that was $20, I figured for $8 I should just get the steak and eggs, which I did!
Before the food arrived, the server brought a whole tray of condiments -- ketchup, various jams, hot sauces, and steak sauces. It was a great little assortment of dipping goodness...most of which I didn't even use.
I was also served a carafe of coffee and a cup. A bonus was that they had soy milk, which I really didn't think they would, for my coffee. Bonus points.
It honestly felt like I was being served room service in a restaurant. Maybe it was the silver covering tray my food, before it was set before me. The steak, which was ordered medium well, was pretty well done by the time it reached it. The eggs were perfectly over easy. However, it didn't say that the hash browns come in a square brick, it just said hash browns, so I assumed it was normal breakfast style. I asked for extra crispy and it looked like they tried to make the top and bottom a little more crispy, but it was really not that good at all! The toast was not even warm, so the butter couldn't melt on it.
As I tore through the steak, I was okay with my meal. It left a lot to be desired, but it did the trick of filling me up before a long work day, with most likely no lunch. The service was great, I had no issue with the service at all.
It's like over priced room service you have to sit down to order...
