| - We had some phenomenal service on a busy Saturday morning! Nedra, our waitress, was awesome. (pretty, too!) She was attentive, always nearby and had some great suggestions. She actually seemed to be happy to do her job, not like some of the soulless eyes that stare back at you in Vegas.
Jeff got the eggs benedict. He had ordered them the day before and decided to do them again. They looked great and the eggs were perfectly cooked. He got some orange juice. It was ok, but it had a flavor that we couldn't quite place. I think there may have been something else in the juice mix, maybe tangerine.
I got the chili omelet with grits. The grits were delicious, not too dry and not undercooked. They added a dollop of butter, which is the way that everyone should eat grits. (Now, if they had some cheese, I might have added a little of that, too. I guess I could have asked, but a chili omelet is already enough gut-busting damage as it is.) The chili was kinda funky and didn't have much flavor. The omelet was well done, however. It wasn't too dry nor too runny. I wasn't going to order toast, but then I changed my mind. Nedra had toast out to me in less than a minute and it was hot and buttered. Damn, that is good service.
Jeff got excited and accidentally knocked over his juice, all over the toast. Within 3 milliseconds, there was a waiter/busboy with a stack of napkins to wipe up the spill. He was gone and back in a flash with more napkins. Nedra came over, tsk'd us, offered more juice and brought out more toast. So impressive. Most places would just ignore you.
The style of the restaurant reminded me of broken-down Santa Fe style, though I'm sure they were trying to imitate some rustic Italian villa. (It doesn't work.)
Normally, I would give this place a 3 star, but Nedra made it 4.
