Elijah’s (breakfast)

This is mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog.  Kirk is taking a break from blogging to concentrate on his job, which is crazy busy this time of the year.  Cathy is writing.

A few weeks ago, Kirk wrote about sandwiches at Elijah's after mentioning breakfast here a few months earlier. The Mister and I were curious, in the area one weekend morning, so dropped in for breakfast.IMG_7920  As Kirk Mentioned, it's the former Players Sports Bar, located just next to Niban, mentioned in the middle of this post  (in that post, there are links to three other Niban posts).  Even though we are in this area a lot, we've never tried Elijah's.

 IMG_7904There's an additional dining area behind the main area, for parties, meetings or large crowds. Neat, clean with friendly and efficient people working.  Coffee ($2.25) and water were kept filled the whole time we were here. 

 IMG_7914IMG_7912 Deli Scrambled eggs ($9.95) (with corned beef in this case; pastrami or turkey were other meat choices) was filled with meat mixed in with the large amount of eggs, served with that square of hash browns (or home fries if you chose) and a toasted bagel (a variety were offered) with butter and cream cheese.

IMG_7916 I ordered the Smoked White Fish Platter ($16.95), because I had a craving for it, recalling the Smoked White Fish Platter that I had in August at D.Z. Akins.  You might notice some fine bones in the smoked fish; that was my only complaint. The lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and capers as well as the rye toast were all fresh, complimentary and so tasty with the nicely smoked white fish.
