| - Came here with the girlfriend for some breakfast after a long night of partying.
Like the Bellagio itself, Cafe Bellagio gives off a relaxed, even peaceful sort of vibe. This could be attributed to the fact that we stepped in for breakfast at 8 AM - but nonetheless, it offers a welcome escape from the fast-paced action of the Strip itself.
While others have said that wait times here can be a bit of a pain, we were seated almost immediately. (This being said, this may have been because we unintentionally managed to make it to the Cafe before the AM gambling crowd did - who knows how that happened!)
It's funny to see how others compared the design of this little cafe to that of Disneyland. I was definitely getting that vibe, as well. With mirrors covering many of the walls and some ornate ceiling decor, you feel as though you're paying for an experience that's a step or two above the typical IHOP/Denny's meal.
The prices were a bit higher than what I'm used to seeing for a "casual" dining option. We split an order of the Caramelized Ham & Cheese Omelette, which was accompanied by a side of hash browns and a breadcrumb-topped half of a tomato.
Although the Cafe's prices were indeed a bit raised, the portion sizes certainly were also scaled up, as well. Both of us were more than filled by our respective half-omelettes, and we had a meal's worth of leftovers to take with us when it was all said and done.
My half omelette was filled with gooey, well-melted cheddar; the cafe didn't skimp out on ham, either. My favorite component of the meal was definitely the hash browns. They had a wonderfully crunchy, crisp crust and a moist, fluffy interior. These were some of the best hash browns that I've had in recent memory. The crumb-coated tomato was also tasty and was great for refreshing the palate in between bites of egg and potato.
Service at Cafe Bellagio was a noticeable cut above. I can't recall what our server's name was - she was an older lady - but she was welcoming, attentive, and plain ol' genuine. I got the feeling that I was seated at a relative's table each and every time that she checked up on us, refilled our drinks, etc. Honestly, I wish that every server took the time to care for her guests the way that this lady did. Her informative descriptions of menu items and overall pleasant demeanor were exactly what our slumped, painfully-hungover bodies had been hoping for.
If you're just not feeling the buffet option, open up the wallet just a little bit and make your way to Cafe Bellagio. Just make sure that you come hungry!
