| - The first time my wife and I came in here, we were tourists staying at Aria. It was 3 a.m., Jean Philippe Patisserie was closed, and we were looking for dessert. We walked in, sat ourselves and waited around for a few minutes. Then we walked out.
This time, we met our out-of-town friends there for a breakfast send-off before they went to the airport. It was strange, because we had several waiters, but none of them were very attentive.
Drink-wise, this was breakfast, and that meant mimosas and bloody marys. The "spicy bloody mary" my wife ordered wasn't terribly spicy, and tasted mostly of the olive garnish. My mimosa would have been acceptable, except it was made with PULPY orange juice. Sick! They lose a full star for that one.
For food, I ordered the country fried steak and my wife got the huevos rancheros. Her huevos was decent - it had a great deal of avocado which is always a plus. My CFS could've stood to be more tender, and the gravy would've benefited from more flavor. The country fried steak skillet at Egg & I is way better and half the price.
We never would've eaten here on our own accord, considering the reviews. The only thing this place has going for it is the décor, which is beautiful, and the signature Aria smell that creeps in from the lobby. The food and drink just isn't worth it.
