We stayed at the Double Eagle Hotel & Casino and on Sunday morning, some of us got together for breakfast at Lombard’s. They offer menu breakfasts as well as the breakfast buffet.
While everybody else ordered coffee, I got my usual morning tea. When Vera poured her coffee, it came out about the color of my tea … very weak – and when Vera asked for a new pot – the waitress told us that weak coffee was just the way it was there – and they’d had numerous complaints from staff and customers about the weak coffee, but the kitchen couldn’t do anything about it. She said she’d bring some instant coffee packets folks could add to their coffee to bring it a little more up to speed (which she did and Vera said it helped a little).
Three of us ordered steak and eggs off the menu and the others opted for the buffet. Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet didn’t measure up to the dinner buffet the night before, according to the buffet folks. The eggs were a bit rubbery and the sausages were cold. Not good. I noticed one fellow only ate a small bit before pushing his plate away.
The menu-ordered steak and eggs were quite good – and although the steaks were certainly not the best quality – they weren’t bad, either. They were all cooked correctly – as were the eggs. About my only complaint about the breakfast was there weren’t many potatoes on the plate and we each only got one piece of toast. Probably the two cheapest things – you’d think they’d be a bit more generous with those portions!
So – Lombard’s for breakfast – yeah, Do Again – but be sure to order off the menu … and skip the breakfast buffet. And consider switching to tea!
