Enoteca San Marco

It had been quite awhile since my last visit to Enoteca San Marco, but I went with my family recently after my brother won a bit of money on slots, and had some dining credit at the Venetian, and said he’d treat for dinner. Score! I suggested Enoteca, and off we went. As my dad [...]

Border Grill

I’ve been to the Border Grill in Santa Monica, but not in Las Vegas until recently. We decided to stop in for lunch one day, and ended up ordering way too much food! After munching on chips and salsa, we had a nice ceviche come out; quite light, fresh and tart. I chose the fish [...]

Smith and Wollensky

Time for a bit of guest posting, with Adam handling the bulk of this review (a welcome break for me!): Smith & Wollensky is tucked away just north of the Showcase mall on Las Vegas Boulevard. It’s easy to miss the parking entrance for S&W, as tourists are constantly flowing over it with little care [...]

RM Seafood: Top Chef Masters’ Dinner

Two of my favorite cooking shows are Top Chef and Top Chef Masters. A couple of weeks ago, I’d heard that Rick Moonen was hosting a charity dinner at RM Seafood, along with this season’s TCM winner, Marcus Samuelsson. All proceeds were to benefit a wonderful local charity, Three Square, which serves to fight hunger [...]

Via Brasil

I’ve never been a huge fan of Churascarias, mainly because I never feel I can eat enough to justify the cost, yet I still leave feeling uncomfortably full! Recently, however, we were both starving, and had a coupon in hand for Via Brasil and figured… Why not? The place is nice inside, modern, clean, with [...]

RM Seafood

After watching Top Chef Masters last year and cheering for Rick and Hubert, I knew I was way overdue to get to RM Seafood. For our latest wedding anniversary, RM it was. I had extremely high hopes, and I really, really wanted to love the food here. I’d heard good things. Rick was just nominated [...]

Mundo

Mundo is a new Mexican restaurant located on the first floor of the World Market Center. Opened in January, they’ve already been generating quite a buzz; enough to make us drive out there for lunch to try them out. I immediately loved the interior of the restaurant; modern and funky, yet classy and with a [...]

Boa Steakhouse

To celebrate their 5th anniversary in Las Vegas, Boa Steakhouse and Sushi Roku were offering all menu items at half off for a few days. What a great time to try the food there! Since we’d been to Sushi Roku, we decided to give Boa a try. The restaurant is located in the newer section [...]

Julian Serrano

So, my first experience at the Aria has been Julian Serrano’s new tapas restaurant. We had tickets to see “Viva Elvis” and I thought it would be fun to get some drinks and tapas before the show. Unfortunately, we ended up having a late lunch that day, so we only had an appetite for a [...]

Bar Charlie

4/2010 update: Sadly, Bar Charlie is no longer open. Another restaurant that’s been at the top of my list of places to go here in Vegas is Bar Charlie. I’ve been hearing about and wanting to get here for over a year now, and last night was finally the night. And it was more than [...]
