| - 5/8/16: What a pleasant surprise! To be honest, I really was not expecting much. Typically the mid-end hotel-owned eateries rarely are as good as anything within driving distance of similar price. I think the only exceptions to this tend to be the ultra-high end restaurants at some hotels, of which some really are world-class.
But here was this huge hallway and space underneath the Seabreeze Cafe sign. I mean, just one big room of nothing except for a podium and a cute host. Somewhat intimidating, but we just got up and were in a rush to get to the Encore Beach Club for one of Avicii's last concerts of his career (!!! yeah wtf... at the height of his fame!) so we said hey, why not...
As we walked past that grand hallway, we entered the dining room, and wow............ it's REALLY nice. TONS and TONS of space. In fact, I think this restaurant might have the most space per table of any I have ever been to. Basically each table gets its own corner of a semi-walled space. All the walls were gorgeously carved, as well as the Roman-styled columns. Lots of plants and decorations too. Just felt so luxurious.
And the food was quite nice too!...
1. Fresh Orange Juice $5: Tasted kinda 1/2 store-bought 1/2 fresh.
2. Coffee $5: Not bad coffee. Medium bodied and smooth. Yeah, it's Five Bucks. Oh well.
3. Country-Fried Steak $17 "smothered in homemade country gravy with buttermilk biscuit and two eggs any style": So.... again, I wasn't expecting much in the way of food, but hey, it's pretty good! I mean, I think it could have been crunchier, and the meat somewhat thicker, but the flavor was really great. And the gravy was good too!--I have had so many bland country gravies lately that it was so refreshing to actually have some gravy with good flavor! And the biscuits were really nice too--great fluffy and airy texture. It was kinda cool they placed the biscuits half under the meat,... it helped to keep it all separated should you want to eat it that way. Anyway, I think this country-fried steak was above average. 7/10
4. Breakfast Croissant $15 "cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs and bacon on homemade croissant served with hash browns": My gf, the baker, said she thought that this probably wasn't "homemade" as claimed, but anyway, it tasted fine. I couldn't remember how the hash browns tasted, but I think it all was decent. Pretty expensive for what you get though. If it were just by taste, I'd say 5-6 / 10, but given the price... 4/10
Well..... so I think the low 2.5 star rating reflects the relatively high price for such food. But well, my country-fried steak was actually pretty good. And the decor was really epic. I mean, it's impressive. Very impressive looking. So, overall, we really liked eating here.
I wouldn't make a trip here just to try this place, but if you're feeling lazy and are already staying at Mandalay Bay, don't hesitate to come here!
