I unfortunately ate here last Thanksgiving. The wait was crazy long… about 2.5 hours. I have to blame my parents for suggesting we eat here. They wanted variety, and while they got that, we also got mediocre food. Going in I knew it wasn’t going to be great and my expectations were met with Asian… Continue reading Feast Buffet

Libre Mexican Cantina
Created by the same company (Clique) that brought Hearthstone and Salute to Red Rock casino, Libre is a decent, if uninspired, Mexican restaurant. I actually prefer its predecessor, Mercadito, to this place. At least Mercadito had a unique variety of tacos. The menu at Libre is more run-of-the-mill Mexican designed to appease the suburban palate.… Continue reading Libre Mexican Cantina
2016 UNLVino Sake Fever Food and Wine Festival
This annual foodie event that was held back on April 15, 2016 had to be moved from the Red Rock pool area to convention space in the casino/hotel due to the weather. With a focus on sake, there was also plenty of Asian, and surprisingly non-Asian, eats. I love the idea of these type of… Continue reading 2016 UNLVino Sake Fever Food and Wine Festival
Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar
Hearthstone has taken a page out of the HoneySalt playbook with a look full of rustic and homey elements that make for a cozy dining environment. The transformation of the space formerly occupied by Hachi is remarkable. The space is more inviting with its dark decor, open kitchen, two long bars, a lounge area and… Continue reading Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar
Terra Rossa
This is going to be an uninspired review for an uninspiring restaurant. I ate at Terra Rossa about a month ago and haven’t been motivated to write anything about it. First of all, let me start out with the best dish we had: the lemon scallop risotto — 5 scallops on a bed of risotto.… Continue reading Terra Rossa
T-Bones Chophouse
Surprisingly good. Like my visit to Twin Creeks at the Silverton a couple weeks ago, T-Bones is a steakhouse I never thought much about, but was glad I tried. The look of the place is impressive. It’s got an upscale, modern feel with some comfy looking booths and a large fireplace in the center of… Continue reading T-Bones Chophouse
Yard House
— Originally posted on Yelp on 7/5/10 — Like the Town Square location they’ve got an impressive beer selection and a diverse menu. The first time I stopped by last month the wait was ridiculous so I ended up leaving. But this past weekend I got a seat for lunch in no time. The food… Continue reading Yard House
Cabo Mexican Restaurant
— Originally posted on Yelp on 8/26/09 — The food at Cabo is solid but nothing unique. It’s the same type of menu items you can find at most Mexican restaurants these days. However, the execution of those items is pretty good. The steak in my chimichanga was tender and the flavor was great. The… Continue reading Cabo Mexican Restaurant
LBS Burger
— Originally posted on Yelp on 7/15/09 — I’ve eaten here a few times and have always liked the food. I usually go for the beef burgers while my wife goes for the turkey or veggie burgers. All the burgers are huge and delicious. The sweet potato fries are also a must. What prompted me… Continue reading LBS Burger
Hachi
— Originally posted on Yelp on 7/15/09 — The interior of the restaurant is cool and modern but not as over-the-top as many of their competitors on the strip. The hostesses seemed a little aloof and not very inviting, but after being seated the staff we met were very friendly and made our dining experience… Continue reading Hachi
