Italian for “to crave” Bramàre comes from Batch Hospitality and the owners of Table 34, their new eatery at 3900 Paradise Road described as a late night Cocktail bar and Italian tapas-style Restaurant built on timeless craftsmanship with a modern twist.

The brainchild of Evan Glusman and Constantin Alexander, their decision to purchase Table 34 from longtime owners bringing Chef Joe Valdez III over to Bramàre, it is once eyes adjust to sultry lighting that guests will notice brick juxtaposing wood and dark suede while music bumps softly overhead.

Planned to remain open late, “about 3am” by report, it is at the Bar led by mixologist Oscar Takahashi that top-shelf Spirits fuel modern interpretations of classic Cocktails including an Old Fashion or Negroni plus modern takes on Espresso Martini and Pisco Sours.

Divided into small, medium and large plates plus Pizza and Pasta, each section featuring Ingredients uncommonly found off-Strip, groups will benefit by inquiring about portion sizes before ordering as most items come shareable – the Soup with lots of Cheese served piping hot while Focaccia is outshined by “The Toast” which eats like Grilled Cheese in its spicy and idyllic form.

Going Gluten-free for fried Mushrooms, a crisp batter surrounding Hon Shemijis topped by Garlic-Chili Sauce, Broccolini as well as Caponata are classics executed well while the Iberico Pork Secreto comes beautifully cooked and sliced alongside creamy Polenta logs.

Not forgetting handmade Pastas or Pizzas, the later from a gas oven with crisp Crust and innovative toppings, Valdez’s “Anacardi” is an ode to his father featuring Salami, Cashews and Olives while Artichoke’s find themselves upgraded by Heirloom Tomatoes plus Truffle Cream.

Also executing a simple Margherita with skill, plus another Pie supporting Mushrooms and Calabrian Sausage, Pastas are highlighted by Tortelloni stuffed with Mortadella and Cockscomb Noodles in smoky yet rich Red Sauce flecked by crispy bits of Salami.

Exceeding $100 for “Large” Plates, two served divided in half providing plenty for a party of ten, Iberico Pork Porchetta arrives with juicy Flesh surrounded by an equal amount of fat atop cheesy Polenta while more than a pound of Skull Island Prawns decorate Tagliatelle in aromatic Shellfish Broth.

Not a place to forgo Dessert, four selections plus Gelato comprising Bramàre’s early offerings, it is safe to assume no Tiramisu in town resembles this version with Chocolate-dipped Grissini as utensils though the real star of the show is fried Focaccia served in bubbling Blueberries that is best enjoyed with a Coffee Mocktail called Caffe Lungo Bosco featuring Baking Spices and Morel Mushrooms.

Crumbl (Durango) [20,] Las Vegas NV

Crumbl

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk – Semi-sweet Chocolate Chunks, Flaky Sea Salt

German Chocolate Cake – Chocolate Cake, housemade German Chocolate Topping, Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

Strawberry Ice Cream Bar – Strawberry and Vanilla Cookie, Whipped White Drop Buttercream, Strawberry and Vanilla Streusel

Monster featuring M&M’S Candies – Peanut Butter Cookie, M&M’S Milk Chocolate Candies, Oats, Peanut Butter Chips, Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Blueberry Crumb Cake Cookie – Lemony Graham Cookie, Blueberries, Lemon Glaze

Mint Chip Ice Cream – Sugar Cookie, Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, Mint Chip Mousse, Whipped Cream

Born in Logan Utah Crumbl took the city by storm, their Instagramable rounds offered in thirty stores across six states by 2019 and now in all fifty states with six in Las Vegas including the Durango location opened in May 2020.

Created by Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidence by Social Media, it was after nine variable experiences that the westside storefront proved competent, the staff exceedingly pleasant whilst describing each choice.

Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s limited collection of just six weekly flavors, though occasionally one may find “Mystery Cookies” including specials from the previous week.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Blueberry Crumb Cake,” flavors of Fruit and Citrus well represented while “Strawberry Ice Cream Bar” brought mellow Vanilla notes.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next “Mint Chip Ice Cream” took on the namesake before “Monster” added all-the-things to a Peanut Butter base.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name suffice it to say the “German Chocolate Cake” comes with a fork for good reason, and bite-for-bite is light with all the elements of the original plus Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting for richness.

Bardot Brasserie [36,] Las Vegas NV

Bardot

Coffee

Mimosa

CAVIAR DEVILED EGGS – petrossian caviar, chives

GRAPEFRUIT BRÛLÉE – vanilla sugar, citrus, toasted pistachio

GRANDE SHELLFISH PLATTER – Maine lobster, Blue Crab, Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters, Lemon, Tabasco, Aioli, Mignonette

HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD – sherry vinegar, olive oil, shallots, basil, oregano

BEEF WELLINGTON – 12oz. filet mignon, prosciutto, puff pastry, mushroom duxelles, sauce au poivre

MACARONI & MIMOLETTE GRATINÉE – Black Truffle Sauce Bechamel, Australian Black Truffles

FRENCH TOAST – vanilla mascarpone, almond brittle, orgeat syrup

WARM ALMOND PITHIVIER – Berry Compote, Whipped Cream

Some say the best Restaurants are those that a guest wants to revisit even before leaving, and over the course of thirty-five meals served across eight years Bardot Brasserie has redefined “the best” at Brunch, not only in terms of Food but setting and service that all continue to shine under the direction of Chef Mike Astin.

Once again filled on Saturday it was at noon that Aria’s second floor was found lively, a familiar front-of-house greeting four diners who were seated comfortably at a table to the side of all the action.

Still doing big numbers, no small feat in a city with such diversity of options, it was with confirmation of no allergies or intolerances that Carte Blanche was deferred to a team that has earned unwavering trust, a mix of new and old soon to follow.

Served at a careful pace, Mimosas and Coffee guiding new-French classics, course one updated Bardot’s Deviled Eggs served alongside Sugar-crusted Grapefruit lent additional texture by toasted Pistachios.

A less-hearty affair than usual, several guests bowing out last-minute affecting GM AJ Gonzales’ plans, course two nonetheless delivered a top-shelf display of Shellfish on ice while Seasonal Tomatoes enlivened by Vinegar played well with Olives.

Not about to miss the famous French Toast, two thick wedges arriving with plus-size quenelles of Vanilla Cream and Almond Brittle, Bardot’s Beef Wellington created by Josh Smith continues to shine just as the vertical Macaroni does with or without Black Truffles shaved tableside.

Nearly too full for Dessert, but only nearly, Bardot’s Macaron remains a must for Chocolate lovers but still loses the spotlight to a sharable Almond Pithivier that eats akin to France’s King Cake.

Opened in 2018, with Anima by EDO debuted early 2022 and since a JBFA Semifinalist, EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine remains Las Vegas’ most exciting Restaurant thanks to its unrivaled ability to look backwards while at the same time pushing boundaries rarely approached by off-Strip dining.

Inspired by Catalonian traditions, Chef Oscar Amador Edo’s upbringing in Barcelona gifting him with a respect for diverse Ingredients and an ability to craft poignant bites that highlight rather than hide them, it was as a party of three that guests were accommodated near the back, GM Roberto Liendo charged with creating a Menu Degustacion including both regularly offered items and nightly inspirations.

An acronym for “Extra Day Off,” though EDO itself is open from 5pm until 9pm daily, it was with most of the Restaurant’s other 32 seats full by 6:00 on Wednesday that things were underway quickly with guests enjoying Sparkling Wine alongside vibrant Gazpacho as well as one-bite Ora King Salmon beneath an acidic veil.

Less Seafood-centric than usual, a cone with the essence of Catalonian Tortilla followed by Pork Pate and a shaped Cracker, imported Fuet rests above delicate Tomato Espuma while Octopus “Head Cheese” gets a jolt from Vinegar-based Sauce.

Complimenting the next round with housemade Coca Bread as a Bikini Sandwich featuring Australian Truffles, a different look at one of EDO’s classics, grilled Lettuce and aged Beef gets a bump from Caviar before a modernist “sheet” of White Asparagus over Mussels and Oysters.

Next serving thin slices of Cuttlefish with Mushrooms and Onions akin to Mole, flavors impossible to find elsewhere in Sin City, snappy Shrimp shine amidst Eggs and Potatoes just as Rabbit does surrounded by Morels cooked in Sherry.

Innovative from start to finish, an all-new soupy Rice dish from the tasting menu combining Shellfish with Pork, Sherry again makes an appearance in two-styles of Duck with Olives before a finale placing Green Beans adjacent Peaches and Almonds as Dessert.

Family owned and operated from the start, Dominic Sang bringing family recipes from a Texas Doughnuttery to Sin City in October 2015, guests entering Glaze Doughnuts will notice little has since changed about the shop in 8 years while a soft base and creative toppings earn “Best of Las Vegas” accolades annually.

Located on Fort Apache Road, fair prices and friendly service undoubtedly part of Glaze’s appeal, what the shop lacks in selection is more than made up for in quality compared to the likes of Dunkin, Krispy Kream or other spots nearby.

Largely built on Yeast Rings, though undersized Fritters perform admirably, fans of simplicity will find Maple Frosting far more subtle than most while Chocolate and Vanilla Glaze are also of excellent quality with or without additions such as Cereal or Candy.

Not over-the-top, but balanced and complex, Caramel and Pecan dazzle atop a fluffy leavened base while Peanut Butter and Oreo do the same, though if one is seeking Glaze’s top choice the decision comes down to Blueberry Cinnamon Toast, Churros and Horchata or Matcha Green Tea Pistachio that delivers sweetness beneath toasty notes.

Pink Rainbow Ring – Yeast Doughnut, Pink Vanilla Frosting, Rainbow Sprinkles

Raspberry Squeeze – Yeast Doughnut, Housemade Raspberry Jam Filling, Granulated Sugar

Suga Daddy – Yeast Doughnut, Granulated Sugar

Located at 9435 West Tropicana Avenue inside Crossroads Plaza Shopping Center and open 24-hours Pinkbox Doughnuts remains Las Vegas’ premier spot for Artisan Doughnuts, just as it has since debuting over a decade ago.

More and more social-media savvy over the years this visit entailed far beyond the usual “OG Classics,” and although PinkBox’s Old Fashioned Cogwheels are still Las Vegas’ best additional traditional choices are mostly as expected making “Fancy Pancy” or “Show Off” choices a necessity.

Often beginning with a Fritter, this day no different and the resulting bite packed with Cinnamon plus Fruit, it was after others made selections that Purple Rain continued the gluttony, its Cake Crumble and base a 1-2 punch of textures.

Fully committed to clever nomenclature, “It’s Ya Birthday” packed with Funfetti beneath lots of Frosting, “Raspberry Squeeze” succeeds thanks to housemade Jam while “Suga Daddy” shows Roberto Armanino knew early-on to nail the basics.

Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, “Vegas Cream” and “Banana Puddin’” each achieve high marks while “It’s Ya Birthday” and “Raspberry Squeeze” each upgrade traditional Bismarks by way of their unique Filling.

Not forgetting a CroDough with laminated layers Pink Velvet remains a signature for good reason while “The Big Samoan” and July’s “Creamy Chaos” add even more diversity to the largest lineup in Sin City.

Summer House Cookie Bar [10,] Las Vegas NV

Summer House

Cold Brew Coffee

Cookie in a Cup

Brown Butter Crispy Rice Treat

Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Birthday Cake Cookie

Apple Oatmeal Cookie

Oatmeal Scotchie Cookie

Lemon Cookie

Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookie

Despite signage suggesting Summer House Santa Monica the location inside Durango Casino & Resort is actually Lettuce Entertain You’s first branch of the “California-inspired Restaurant” out west, and regardless of what might be inside the Cookie Bar out front is a sight for sore eyes.

Taking a Spago-esque approach to Market-fresh fare, think Pizzas and Pastas plus plates from an all-wood grill, it is for roughly $5-6 each that guests will find a dozen or more daily baked good including everything from classic Chocolate Chip with big dark chunks to Rice Crispy Treats with or without bits of Oreo in the mix.

A natural feeling space bathed in light, Rockwell Group taking on LEYE’s first off-Strip venture, guests not fond of Cocoa will find “Birthday Cake” far outpacing crumbl’s famous Frosted Cookie while both glazed Lemon and a Vegan Snickerdoodle eat soft and chewy within a gently crisp rim.

Recently impressing with an Oatmeal Scotchie, think crispy but sweet with just a bit of flex, Summer House’s Apple Oatmeal Cookie reminisces of Autumn Apple Crisp in portable form while the “Cookie in a Cup” offers bite-sized bits of the whole collection.

CRAFTkitchen [25,] Henderson NV

CRAFTkitchen

Coffee, Biscotti

Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish, Cookie Dough Croissant

Strawberry Kouign Amann, Lemon Blueberry Muffin, Cinnamon Roll

Croissant Sammy – house crafted croissant, thick apple wood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar, over hard egg, fries

Peaches & Cream Pancakes – Fluffy buttermilk shortstack with our house made peach syrup, and whipped cream

Italian Cold Cut Sandwich – Sopresata, salami, mozzarella pickled peppers, pesto mayo, shaved romaine, ciabatta, sweet potato fries

From the day CRAFTkitchen opened it raised the bar for breakfast Valley-wide, and on Saturday Jaret and Tami’s expanded space in Henderson again dazzled with quality and creativity plus service that attests to well-trained employees working with a sense of pride.

Approaching nine years old just prior to Halloween, the Blinn’s investment of money, time and talent paying off thanks to their commitment to quality and community, it was arriving at noon that three guests were seated on the Restaurant’s left half, several familiar servers all moving quickly but purposefully with smiles on their faces.

Still as bright and tidy as day one, living walls now bolstered by a bar and hanging plants while art from the Blinn’s daughter flanks a Coffee Bar and Pastry cases full of delights, it was shortly after seating that beverages were served, brewed to order Coffee bold and balanced while Lattes found added depth in Milk with a tiny Biscotti at their side.

Surrounded by folks of all ages, a “35-40 minute wait” avoided by calling ahead, it was with five of the aforementioned Baked Goods that dining got started, the Lemon Blueberry Muffin moist despite a lack of Animal Products while Jaret’s Cinnamon Rolls and Danishes outpace most of Sin City’s.

Continuing with Kouign Amann, pockets of melted Butter visible amidst flaky layers, one would be hard-pressed to decide which was tops between this and recently debuted Cookie Dough Croissant that live up to both halves of their promise.

Equally indecisive regarding Pancakes, both a Buttermilk Stack and Kid’s Birthday style offered, suffice it to say there’s no fault in fresh Peaches with Cream nor a Croissant Sandwich layered around Eggs, Cheese and thick Apple Wood smoked Bacon.

Adding Fries from the “regular” menu, though calling CRAFTkitchen’s Sweet Potatoes with Maple Bacon Aioli anything but exceptional is a mistake, this weekend also featured an Italian Cold Cut Sandwich with all the right stuff brightened by Pesto on housemade Ciabatta.

Red Velvet Cookie

Mixed Berry Strudel

Citrus Berry Bundt Cake

The Pastries are still good, as one might expect from Chef Beth Ryan-Small, but between paid influencer posts and Kyle Cunningham’s pandering for investors The Coffee Class is nearly impossible to “like” in comparison to other locally owned bakeries around Las Vegas.

Delivered to the office on Friday, Beth’s Scones still the best in town, Croissants clearly come from outsourced Dough though the fillings offer improvement while Poptarts are universally good regardless of season or flavor.

A part of the Bellagio since opening, first as Aqua but since reborn twice as MICHAEL MINA Restaurant, it was as The Strip shuttered that eight guests sat down for a meal never to be forgotten and now with the Pandemic but a memory the Restaurant remains remarkable under the direction of Chef Raj Dixit.

Always a special place, and quiet mid-summer, it was at a familiar table that five guests were situated just past to 6:00pm, Carte Blanche once again deferred to the kitchen who opted to prepare a menu of pure opulence.

Designed as an eight-course menu, with white glove treatment afforded to all in attendance, it was following a Champagne toast that the night started with Michael Mina’s timeless Caviar Parfait commanding attention from black Eggs to crispy Potato Cake with palates cleansed between bites by Belvedere Vodka.

Delivering Mina’s housemade Laffa next, the first of two baskets complimented by a trio of Spreads, Hamachi arrives next with Peruvian inspiration preceding faultless Foie Gras with seasonal accompaniments alongside warm Brioche.

Next revealing tender Gnocchi under a cloche before a liberal shaving of Australian Truffles, the fragrance better than most, semi-sweet Riesling proved well-suited to “Fish n’ Chips” utilizing Black Cod followed by a perfectly cooked piece of Duck with crackling Skin.

Not holding back with triple-seared A5 Kagoshima Wagyu plated simply with classic Bordelaise, or the Prime Filet Rossini at its side, Dessert is always an all-in affair on this evening finding Michael’s famous Root Beer Float alongside “The Lemon,” Chocolate Mousse, Mango Sunset and a Souffle standing tall.

Crumbl

Semi-sweet Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Berry Trifle Cake Cup

Snickerdoodle Cupcake Cookie

Peanut Butter Cup Cookie featuring Reese’s

Sugar Shark Cookie

Confetti Cookie

Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s limited collection of just six weekly flavors, though on this week the overly-sweet Chocolate Chip was replaced by Semi-Sweet Chunks plus Sea Salt.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Snickerdoodle Cupcake,” both ideas well represented while the consistency was soft but crispy along the rim.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that Peanut Butter Cup doubled-down on Reese’s while Confetti was basic but tasty.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name it is impossible to call the all-new Berry Trifle Cake Cup anything less than excellent as Cake, Pudding and Fruit far outpace any sugar-frosted round.

Last visited for Dinner in March Monday once again found Esther’s Kitchen firing on all cylinders, the frequently-changing menu expanded to match a more sizable space located just around the corner from James Trees’ revolutionary original address.

Now serving Las Vegas for over 5 years, every available superlative already used to describe James Trees’ Restaurant that revitalized the Art’s District, it was with a packed house that seven guests sat near the pass with Baker Dylan Jobsz’s city-best Sourdough starting things off.

Seasonal and rustic in a good way, exacting standards and impeccable service forever part of Esther’s D.N.A., it was with a focus on new items that two Sourdough Pizzas emerged from a wood-burning oven hot-n-bubbly, a well-developed cornicione proud to surround Confit Duck with Cherries as well as the more classic combination of Mushrooms and Cheese.

Modifying Gnocco Frito for early Spring, light Dough fried and filled with airy Parmesan, one would be hard-pressed to name a dish with more umami than Mussels baked beneath Calabrian Sausage though “Vitello Tonato” upgraded by Sweetbreads and Salted Zucchini gives it a try.

Pasta-centric as always, classics still present but this day’s focus on items such as Agnolotti with Bacon and Scallops, suffice it to say that there are no wrong options whether its Tagliatelle with Pork and Mushrooms or hand-formed Tortellini with Peppers atop smoky Eggplant.

Spicing things up with proper Putanesca, though guests seeking something more mild should consider an immaculate Pork Chop served alongside Beans, tender Lamb Shoulder packs a ton of flavor thanks to Fennel mellowed by Citrus while Tomato Risotto continues the kitchen’s strong showing with Vegan and Vegetarian dishes.

A lot of Food for not a lot of cash, all of it rooted in technique but never compromising flavor for looks, Dessert consisted of Esther’s forever refining Butterscotch Budino plus moist Chocolate Cake, though the real stunner proves to be an all-new Pavolva giving Tiramisu a face-lift by way of varying textures.

Located all the way up on North Durango in Centennial Hills Blooming Buns Bakehouse opened during summer of 2020, a tumultuous time that has nonetheless seen success as a result of signature “Brionuts” plus Cookies, Beignets and Ensaymada.

Similar to Purple Potato in its layout, little more than a small dining area adjacent the counter and kitchen, it is upon entry that guests will notice an array of choices proudly displayed at prices ranging $4-6.

Scratch-made daily with fermented Dough featuring a lot of Butter, the resulting Donuts light with good stretch, options change daily including filled option such as Ube with Honeycomb and Almond Praline Creme Brulee that tastes like the best parts of each.

Also offering savory Buns, a touch of Sugar atop warm Cream Cheese and Garlic something of an acquired taste, fans of Filipino Ensaymada will be delighted to find traditional and upgraded versions such as Cheese with Dulce.

More impressed with the Raspberry Pistachio Brionut than its Maple Chocolate counterpart, the latter a bit artificial in flavor, Cookies are thick with a crisp rim and soft center highlighted by Cookies & Cream or Walnut Chocolate Chip.

Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

Huckleberry Doughnut

Old Fashion Doughnut

Choc-A-Lot Doughnut

Saigon Cinnamon Crumb Doughnut

Butter & Salt Doughnut

Strawberry Buttermilk Doughnut

Self-described as “The World’s Freshest Doughnuts,” and personally felt to be the Nation’s premier purveyor of fried Dough ever since stumbling across the Costa Mesa flagship in 2013, it was via good fortune that Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee was found in San Diego on Sunday, several fresh-from-the-fryer rings again demonstrating unparalleled Ingredients and smartly developed recipes.

Ever expanding, and part of Del Mar Highlands Town Center since 2018, it was mostly from old favorites that six were selected, Huckleberry and Strawberry each natural in terms of sweetness while “Choc-A-Lot’ triples-down on texture and decadence.

Moving next to a classic, Sidecar’s Old Fashion showing why fryer time and temperature matters in its lightness, it should come as no surprise that when Sidecar stays simple results raise the bar whether in the case of Saigon Cinnamon Crumb or Butter & Salt.

Opened in December 2018, and quickly making a name for itself as one of Las Vegas’ premier Chinese Restaurants, Mott 32 reintroduced Brunch for the first time since 2020 on Sunday with an all-new format.

A “bottomless” affair pre-pandemic, now instead offering dinner items alongside authentic Cantonese breakfast dishes a la carte, it is inside the Joyce Wang-designed space that guests are invited to take seats amidst 11,400 square feet of luxury, murals and gold-threaded wall coverings even more opulent in the daylight.

A glorious and multifaceted expanse, with educated servers all but guaranteeing guests a wonderful experience, it is after perusing some thirty items that diners are invited to choose “Fire” or “Ice” Cocktails including the likes of creamy Gin-spiked Tea or a citrusy Tang-Tang featuring Tequila and Szechuan Coconut Crunch.

Still featuring classics such as the 42-day Peking Duck, available as part of a Salad or on its own at a fraction of the nightly cost, favorites such as marinated Cucumbers and various Dim Sum styles come executed at a high level with Spicy Iberico Pork Shanghainese Soup Dumplings well-deserving their signature status.

Cutting no corners on Ingredients or upgraded décor it was while sipping a Champagne that delicate Cheung Fun arrived alongside piping-hot Sweet Corn Soup containing an impressive amount of Crab Meat.

Next bringing the heat with Szechuan Style Pork Dumplings, adequately reined in by a fragrant “Lai-Chee” or hard-hitting Lucky 8 “Shot,” fans of Noodles will find the Lo Mein springy amidst lightly applied Soy before perfectly cooked Brassicas lead up to delicate Desserts in both solid and liquid form.

A one time a Cannery West kiosk now turned online business The Cookie Bar continues to march on, Wendy Baumgartner’s passion for baking undeterred by the pandemic and her current collection full of more kitschy yet delicious creations than ever.

Available via online apps, Food Truck or at Special Events, the options easily customized online, Thursday featured nineteen options delivered to the office with individual packaging quickly discarded and a bag of buttered-sweet Booze Munch quickly gone in a few handfuls.

Featuring both virgin and kicked-up riffs on classic American confections, Big Ohh adding granulated Sugar to the top of an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie for texture, both ”Kitchen Sink” cubes deliver about 6oz of decadence with a Cookie and Brownie sandwiching Oreos or Reese’s.

Adding Wedding Cake Vodka to Tipsy Velvet and a heart-shaped “Twisted Krispie,” the later a masterpiece thanks to Sea Salt and soft notes of Cocoa, The Cookie Bar’s Sugar Cookies eat like crisp Shortbread with nuance added by Citrus in the case of Limoncello and torched Sugar atop Crème Brulee.

Going classic with Buzz Kill, while Chocolate Mojito’s Mint takes Chocolate Chip in a different direction, “The Nookie” stuffs soft Caramel into a Pecan-studded Chocolate Chip round for just $3 – the same bargain cost charged for “Turnt Up Banana” with a chewy Banana base infused with Rum and topped with Vodka Buttercream Frosting.

As homegrown (or perhaps homebrewed) as it gets, both a Cinna-Doodle and Monster Brownie new and decadent, the Baumgartner’s Cookie Bar should be on any the short list for anyone with a sweet-tooth and all the more so for those looking to support local businesses.

Consistently Las Vegas’ toughest reservation Delilah debuted at Wynn in July of 2021, the “social dining” experience from L.A.’s h.wood Group making good use of Michelin 2* Alex’s former footprint with million dollar upgrades and aspirations to redefine a modern day Supper Club.

Long awaited and debuted with an opulent Grand Opening of A-List celebrities, guests are immediately met by a small foyer before entering the thirty-seat Little Bubble Bar whose rich fabrics overlook the main Dining Room two floors below.

Accessed via double staircases, with bronze and marble gilding the space envisioned by Wynn’s Todd-Avery Lenahan, tables reside between a main stage and larger bar with posh materials and wood surrounded by plaster ceilings above numerous original paintings.

Fusing interior to outside via paired courtyards, one abutting the Chef’s Table and secret dining room directly accessed via the kitchen, it was in the middle of the action that four diners sat Wednesday to enjoy seventeen plates from Chef Josh Smith and team.

Over-the-top in a good way, from contrasting patterns and custom porcelain to gracious servers with encyclopedic knowledge of the Chef Smith’s Cuisine, it is once Beverages are ordered that tables receive complimentary Milk Bread, each slice piping hot with a delicate crumb ready to be slathered by some of the best Butter in America.

Sparing no expense in terms of Ingredients or décor, Beef Carpaccio enjoyed amidst murals and mirrors, Appetizers from Chef Smith continued with Uni Chawanmushi and Crab Cakes that certainly bring the Meat with almost no filler.

High energy in the main room, easy for conversing until live music starts, additional small bites include Josh’s now-famous King Crab Caesar plus a new Greek Salad and two-bite Lobster Rolls that feature both Truffle Aioli and Brown Butter for dunking.

Onward to Entrees, but not before “Delilah’s Famous Chicken Tenders” again justified their signature status in terms of both taste and texture, Delilah’s Beef Wellington sees Chef Smith once again outpacing Gordon Ramsay alongside creamy Mashed Potatoes while glazed Scallops with creamy Corn highlight summer.

Not forgetting sides, Snap Peas simple but seasonal alongside layered Potatoes with Caviar and King Crab Pasta in Vodka Sauce, it remains pretty tough to beat Smith’s vertical Macaroni with Mimolette Fondue and Black Truffle Béchamel brought over from Bardot.

Growing livelier by the minute, but never too loud, it was around 8:15pm that the Captain poured Molten Chocolate overtop “Kendall’s Slutty Brownie,” but no matter how good this or Delilah’s Rocky Road Sundae are it will still take more to outpace Josh’s Grandmother’s world-class Gooey Butter Cake as Las Vegas’ best Dessert.

Crumbl

Milk Chocolate Chip

Cannoli

Cookies & Cream

Raspberry Lemonade

Vanilla Crumb Cake

Blueberry Cheesecake

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Rocky Road

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Blueberry Cheesecake,” flavors of Fruit and Cream Cheese well represented along with Graham Cracker Crumble resembling the crust.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next Cookies & Cream ate a lot Crumbl’s signature Milk Chocolate while both Raspberry Lemonade and Vanilla Crumb Cake riffed on their Sugar Cookie slathered in seasonal Icing.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name suffice it to say the “Cannoli” lacks a crisp Shell but makes up for it in terms of heft thanks to smooth filling and a rim of Dark Chocolate Chips.

YEN Viet Kitchen

Ca Phe Vietnamese Coffee

Banh Cuon Steamed Rice Roll – Minced pork, wood ear mushroom, veggies, sliced pork roll, fermented pork, house fish sauce

Chao Long Pork Porridge – Pork organs, pork blood cube, served with Chinese Donuts

Banh Xeo Crispy Turmeric Pancake – Pork, shrimp, veggies, mung bean sprout, house fish sauce

Tucked away on Decatur just off Spring Mountain resides YEN Viet Kitchen, a low-ceilinged space offering traditional Vietnamese dishes including several Southern specialties not available anywhere else in Sin City.

Quiet and nondescript, just a few tables plus refrigerators decorating the space staffed by a single server, guests choose from a two-sided laminated menu featuring traditional names plus English descriptions.

Populated by young Vietnamese locals on Saturday afternoon, a contrast to the kitchen run by elders, service proves fast and proficient beginning with smooth Ca Phe and continuing with Banh Cuon featuring three types of Pork Sausage atop Rice Rolls that are fresh and interesting even before a splash of Fish Sauce.

Also offering a crispy Omelet called Banh Xeo, the “Pancake” perfumed by Turmeric on both sides of Pork, Shrimp and Mung Beans, fans of Offal will find Chao Long Pork Porridge particularly compelling thanks to broken down Rice and Lemongrass that help subdue intense Liver, smooth Tripe and gelatinous Blood Cubes.
