| - Eat is a solid, three star brunch joint. I enjoyed my meal here. It's a mostly good spot. Anyone reading this seeing 3 stars and thinking it's a bad review, it's not! But there were several issues during our meal that made this place miss the 4 star level.
One place they excel: the pancake. It's thick and fluffy, while still being crispy on the outside. I rarely order pancakes, but after two bites, I was hooked. The homemade tomato soup was quite good, with large, thin chunks or parmesan floating on top. Also, the coffee served here is excellent.
We also tried the truffled egg sandwich. I've seen other reviewers rave about this, but something was missing. The bread wasn't good, and the flavors of the ingredients didn't meld well together.
The service here was lacking. It seems to be focused on turnover rather than true customer interaction. Our server asked us about five times if we were ready to order. Once we were finished, three different people asked if we wanted the check. We weren't checked on a single time while dining.
Lastly, the name is kind of dumb:
"Hey, you want to go eat?"
"Sure, what are you thinking?"
"How about eat?"
"....I know, like, what place"
"No...the restaurant in downtown called eat, silly"
"..."
Bottom Line: A fine brunch/lunch spot, and certainly better than a lot of other Las Vegas spot. They serve brunch daily, which is really nice if you are visiting and everyday seems like a Saturday. Maybe I went on an off day, but this place is already good and has potential to get better.
