| - This is my first Yelp review so I'm kind of excited!
After a long night of partying it up at one of the premier clubs in Vegas, Tryst, me and my group of friends woke up quite early to catch the dreaded morning after meal. We were staying at the Wynn and were actually headed to Denny's for some greasy-bad-for-you food, but actually noticed a sign that said $12.50 Breakfast special in front of Dal Toro. Since Denny's was a long ways to go, and the price seemed pretty decent, we went for this fancy looking Lamborghini-based restaurant that was conveniently located right next door to our hotel.
The interior of Dal Toro was clean, sleek and lustrous and our group of 11 were seated at a long dining table, reminiscent of "The Last Supper" and complete with wine glasses that were later slowly refilled over and over again with water to quench our dehydration from the mass amounts of alcohol consumption the night before. Due to our thirst for water, Dal Toro's waiters were definitely not coming around as often to wait our needs. The restaurant was about less than half filled with customers and yet, the service was slow; not good especially when we were all starving and thirsty!! Nonetheless, they were still friendly, whenever they did come around just overall verrrry slow with: refilling our drinks, serving food, and the check that felt like it took longer to get than our food.
Food: I ordered the Eggs Benedict that was decently portioned consisting of the usual English muffin topped with ham, poached eggs, and hollandaise and complete with a side of potatoes. It was pretty good except that I would ask for hollandaise on the side because that became a bit much and overpowering as the taste got to me towards the end of my meal. The potatoes, however, were delicious and really tasted like french fries except in a round form! My boyfriend ordered the cheese and ham omelet that came with toast and potatoes as well. This omelet as well as the other omelets on the menu, had the cheese and ham tucked nicely into the inside of the folded egg, instead of it being mixed into the egg (if that makes sense). Though it was different from the usual omelet, he was still satisfied with his meal, although I was expecting it to look like a fancy omelet for some reason, considering the kind of restaurant it was for brunch.
Dal Toro deserves 3 stars for 3 reasons: 1. though everyone that worked there were nice, they were like the speed of a turtle with their service and it was hard to get their attention even though the place was not packed--slow for a group of 11 that were hungover, hungry, and dehydrated! 2. the food was good, but nothing too different that stood out to me from the normal breakfast meals, except the potatoes that were yum! 3. it was decently price, from $10-$15 for a decently portioned meal.
Hmm... maybe Denny's would have been worth the walk?
