05/11 This restaurant was once one of the best places for breakfast in Las Vegas prior to the economic downturn, but had deteriorated in recent years. Fortunately, new ownership took over this past March with the intent to restore it to its prior glory. Our waiter was the brother of the new owner and his aunt serves as chef. Neither the interior nor menu has undergone much change except for an overall price increase. We each ordered the New England Benny, poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce over twin crab cakes and English muffins accompanied by a choice of breakfast potatoes. The meal was very good, but the crab cakes must have been on the Jenny Craig system because they were noticeably thinner than in the past.
04/09 On our last visit In September I took a photo of Susan, our server, and on entering presented her with a copy. This led to the owner joining us for a chat and his daughter coming over to tell us she has posted the photo on her Facebook page. Our orders were the same as in September; strawberry cream cheese stuffed French toast topped with fresh strawberries and real maple syrup for Ann and the New England Benny, a pair of crab cakes served on top of English muffins halves and topped with poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce for me.
09/08 Though physically situated in a nondescript shopping center, the restaurant provides a touch of New England charm to the local area. My wife ordered the French toast stuffed with strawberry cream cheese and topped with fresh strawberries. She rated this second only to Bouchon?s, but at half the price. I was initially hesitant to order the New England Benny, but was I ever rewarded for my courage. The New England Benny is 2 crab cakes served on English muffin halves topped with 2 poached eggs and covered with Hollandaise sauce. This proved to be an amazing combination of flavors. Each member of the wait staff was very friendly on this busy Sunday morning.
