Nozomi

We went to Nozomi’s the other day to try their lunch specials. It happens to be located just up the street from where I work, which makes it pretty convenient! Unfortunately they are in the same shopping complex as the Mix Zone Cafe, which is a pain to get in and out of, or find [...]

Yassou Greek Grill Cafe

This restaurant reminds me food-wise of a chain they had in California called Daphne’s. The quality of the food was always spot on, which I appreciated. To me there’s nothing worse than biting into a gyro and finding meat of questionable quality inside, i.e. with too much fat, cartilage, or anything else cringe inducing! Adam [...]

Rincon Criollo

One of our (many) favorite types of food is Cuban. The rich flavors, fried plantains, all of that garlic and onion… Yum! We found Cafe Cuban Breeze shortly after we moved here, and were going there pretty regularly until they closed down a couple of years ago. We’ve since gone to the Florida Cafe, which [...]

Aloha Kitchen

One of the things I miss about living in LA’s southbay area is the plethora of places to get Hawaiian plate lunches. Out here in Vegas, I’ve only been to a couple. L&L Barbeque is close to where we live, but it wasn’t one of my favorites even in LA. I had read good reviews [...]

“Best New Restaurant” nominee..

A MILLION congratulations to Mitsuo Endo for Raku’s 2009 JBF Award nomination for Best New Restaurant. What an extremely well deserved honor! Other Vegas nominees include:

Sen of Japan

I’d heard really good things about Sen, and we finally went the other night. The restaurant is owned by the former head chef of Nobu, so my expectations were high! I decided to try the $55 Omakase, which turned out to be an exceptional deal. Adam was less hungry and opted for the Miso Cod [...]

Bakery Review: Jean Phillippe Patisserie

For the sake of a good Valentine’s Day dessert, we trekked out to the Bellagio for pastries from Jean Phillippe’s. The place was absolutely packed, and they have a beautiful selection of pastries! Choosing only two was pretty tough… I decided on the Triple Chocolate, and Adam chose the Cheesecake. The Triple Chocolate is not [...]

Valentines Day Dinner 2009

This year we decided to have a “Top Chef” inspired Valentine’s Day Dinner. I love this show! In the last episode, Fabio (one of my favorites) won with his Roasted Chicken with Caramelized Onions and Roasted Potatoes, and Carla (not one of my favorites) came in second with her Squab and English Peas with Red [...]

Sushi Mon

It’s probably not fair for me to rate this restaurant, since they seem to be known for their ‘all you can eat’ sushi special, which I did not order. In fact, I only shared one order of sushi with Adam, because I was still queasy after stepping off a flight an hour before. But for [...]

Weekend in Phoenix: Food

Although my BFF and I went to Phoenix to do the Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk, of COURSE we also had a few places picked out to eat at! She loves to eat too.. how else would we get along so well?! Anyway, here’s our food diary for the weekend: Pizzeria Bianco Pizzeria Bianco ‘supposedly’ has [...]
