| - MoZen Bistro... oh how I miss you and your Nantucket Eggs (Poached Eggs over crab cakes w. Hollandaise sauce on the side). Damn I wish I went back the second day before I left to use up the breakfast credit, and bask in the loveliness they call Nantucket Eggs.
You know I usually skip breakfast, but I had breakfast credit at Mandarin Oriental since I booked through American Express, so I was obligated to at least try it out. I went an hour after I woke up, so around 930-10 and it was a very nice experience. Its located on the 3rd floor and as you walk towards the restaurant from the elevators, there is a pastry area that is loaded with stuff to purchase (drinks also) during breakfast and lunch hours, and next to that is the hostess.
I was promptly greeted and shown my table with a menu. Not too complicated for breakfast and it had the usual stuff, omelets, continental breakfast, eggs Benedict, steak, fruit, drinks, and bread.
I was told before hand that Vegas water is almost undrinkable so I opted for a bottle of Fiji water, and a chefs daily smoothie which was a strawberry banana smoothie. 7 dollars for a bottle of water? HELL to the NO, but there was no way I was going to max out my 50 dollar daily credit without ordering too much food and looking fatter than I already am, so yea it was chilled water and it Fiji Water, what can you expect?
The strawberry banana smoothie was good, usually its blended older fruit, but it wasn't sour, it wasn't nasty, the texture was nice and it was pretty filling. If you haven't already figured it out, I ordered the Nantucket Eggs as the main breakfast course and it was amazing (see attached picture). The hollandaise is in its own pourable container so that it doesn't get too soggy, and the crab cakes, wow combine that with the poached eggs, sautéed spinach and the sauce, it was like breakfast heaven. Or at least for me since breakfast is usually not in my cards. They include vegetables and a thing of potatoes on the side and they were decent. BUT THEM CRABCAKES, EGGS, SAUTEED SPINACH, and SAUCE though.
The service was very good as well, always checking up to see if I need anything, and if the food was good. Maybe alittle excessive for me, I'm used to having service where I need to, and have to flag people down so you know, YMMV
I just ate lunch and now I'm hungry again thinking about them eggs, them crab cakes, and them Hollandaise sauce.
Still regret not using the second day of breakfast credit for more.
Cheers! Good food, good service, good nice clean restaurant, what more can and should you ask for?
