About
Lately this has become my favorite place to dine while looking out upon the graceful Las Vegas plaza, with its towering elm trees. The restaurant, set in the historic 1882 Plaza Hotel, has good food, especially the New Mexican and the grilled dishes. It has a sunny dining room, with tables well spaced, adorned by the original 19th-century stenciling along the walls. Service is good. At breakfast you might have egg and pancake dishes, and on Sunday for brunch eggs florentine (poached eggs, spinach, grilled tomato, and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin), served with hash browns. Lunch brings salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and New Mexican food. I've enjoyed a grilled turkey with Swiss cheese and green chile on rye. At dinner, you might enjoy a filet with bleu cheese mushroom sauce, or grilled pecan crusted trout with pecan butter, each served with salad, vegetable, and choice of starch. Beer and wine accompany the menu. Byron T's 19th-century saloon next door offers food daily from 2 to 5pm.
