| - I would rather give 2-1/2 stars, but I guess I will just have to round up to 3. We ate here twice during our stay at the Monte Carlo. The first time was for breakfast/lunch, around 1PM. I had a specific yogurt request. they usually serve vanilla yogurt in a parfait style with fruit and granola. I just wanted plain yogurt with honey. They chef was nice enough to come out and clarify what "plain" I meant, non-flavored or just without the fruit. That was nice of him. We also ordered the eggs benedict, french toast with nutella spread and apple compote, & a mojito. The eggs benedict were perfect, nicely made, as was the mojito. The French Toast would be better off without the weird nuttella spread and overworked apple compote.
We went to the cafe after a long night. A member of our party was in a wheelchair. We asked to move an extra table to ours and the manager on duty said she couldn't do it because there wasn't space. She didn't offer any solution. She was really rude and short with me. The customers next to us offered to move over, so we had room to do this. I ordered the $4.99 steak and eggs special, thinking this was a great deal. The eggs were perfect and the hash browns were pretty good. The steak, however, was weird. I am not sure what this steak went through, but the texture was not like a real steak. It was like a formed steak patty or something. I ordered it medium rare, but I guess that is hard to do with a formed steak product. I am really creeped out by what I ate. I kept tasting it to try to figure out what it was. I still don't know.
So in sumation: 3 stars for the nice daytime Chef. Minus 2 stars for the horrible overnight manager & weird food product.
