“Loved this breakfast and the audio tour of the Dome! Pro tip- if you arrive to a long line and have a reservation for a meal, walk around the line to talk to the employees letting people in. We got there at the designated time and were happy to know we could skip the line since we had a breakfast reservation.”

The only thing we were confused about is that the email we got said that we were supposed to pick our entree upon booking and we never saw any option for that. We mentioned it to the staff and they said that if we didn’t, we automatically are given beef for the entrée. The beef was good. Views of city were good.”
