10/29/11 BREAKFAST.\n\nIt greatly pains me to write this review, but here goes.\n\nMany months ago friend Kathe took me here. She was hungry, I was not. So I had iced teas while she had a \"Black Mountain\", an eggs benedict with beef brisket instead of ham or such.\n\nI tried her food. It was AMAZING. The brisket was a nice not-too-thin cut of beef, fatty and tasty. The poached eggs were perfect, runny inside. And that hollandaise was one of the best I had ever had. Unusual with the amount of lemon flavor, but that made it refreshing. A great plate of food.\n\nTODAY I returned for the second and LAST time. I ordered the \"Black Mountain\". The brisket was paper thin and boring, except the fatty part. The eggs were overcooked, hard inside. The hollandaise was dull and thick, just not good at all. And my spouse, his words, had the worst omelet he has ever had in his entire life. In fact, at our table, no one really liked the food that much.\n\nI don't know what has happened to this place, but now, sadly, it's off my list for good.\n\nPS And the service? Well, I've read people having problems with service here, but it was half-filled with customers and the service was well-meaning and fine. A good tip was left.\n\nPPS According to internet sources of various kinds, Weiss USED to be one of the 5 places in Vegas with the best hollandaise. Now only 4 remain:\n\n1. Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge\n2. the coffee shop @ Jerry's Nugget Casino\n3. Bouchon @ Venetian\n4. Verandah @ Four Seasons\n\nNow, from that list, I've only been to the Peppermill, but not had the hollandaise. Guess I'll have to try it, next time, but I'm not a huge fan of the food there. I know nothing about Jerry's Nugget. Bouchon and Verandah have been on my \"to do\" list here since I arrived. I can believe Bouchon's hollandaise is great. And I hear the brunch @ Verandah, in general, is fantastic. Hopefully I'll get to all 4 soon.
