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 (Durango) [18,] Las Vegas NV

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

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 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.

PB Kitchen Sink – Chocolate Chip Cookie, Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Brownie

Chocolate Mojito – Chocolate Chip Cookies, Andes Mint, Chocolate Drizzle

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.

DELILAH ROCKY ROAD SUNDAE – Dark Chocolate Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Fudge, Hazelnut Marshmallows, Magic Shell, Whipped White Chocolate Ganache

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 (Durango) [17,] Las Vegas NV

Crumbl

Milk Chocolate Chip

Cannoli

Cookies & Cream

Raspberry Lemonade

Vanilla Crumb Cake

Blueberry Cheesecake

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Rocky Road

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 the likes of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip or Rocky Road 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 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.

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.

Specified as Northern Vietnamese, Chef Tony Le bringing his experience at Cafe Pho Ga Thanh Thanh west from Philadelphia before selling to partners, it is inside the sizable Restaurant that guests will access the menu via QR code while music plays faintly overhead.

See’s Candies (7120 North Durango Drive,) Las Vegas NV

See’s Candies

Dark Chocolate

Peanut Brittle

Headquartered in San Francisco, but manufacturing and distributing Candy out of Los Angeles since 1921, See’s Candies still bears the surname of founders, Charles, Florence and Mary, while time-honored flavors are sold across twenty U.S. States and as far away as South Korea.

Born from Canadian immigrants, and focused on quality from the very beginning, it is currently under the management of Berkshire Hathaway that the company sells some $90,000,000.00 in Candies per year, the majority featuring locally sourced Nuts and natural flavors enrobed in Cocoa from the Guittard Chocolate Company.

Sold in three Las Vegas storefronts, and additionally from kiosks at LAS, it was from a 1-lb box sold for $21.75 that several flavors were tasted, the “Milk Cherry” found only in stores an early highlight thanks to its near-liquid center while Dark Buttercream with Vanilla also fared well.

Additionally gifted a box of Peanut Brittle, crunchy with lots of Butter balancing sweetness, it is easy to see why See’s remains successful after 100+ years and its largely a matter of good ingredients plus focusing on what they know, rather than more esoteric ideas.

Randy’s Donuts (10267 West Charleston Boulevard,) Las Vegas NV

Randy’s Donuts

Maple Bacon Long John

Maple Raised with Churros

Chocolate Glazed Texas Donut with Sprinkles

Red Velvet Cake

Oreo Raised

Matcha Tea Raised

Coffee Raised

Glazed Texas Donut

Fruity Pebbles Raised

Nutella Raised

S’Mores Raised

M&M’s Raised

Located just off the 405 in Inglewood is Randy’s Donuts, celebrating 70+ years slinging fried Dough under an iconic 32-foot sign 24/7, and now growing the name globally with 20+ locations stretching to South Korea and Dubai – or in this case Sin City.

Unimpressive in 2015 at the Original, though new outposts trend cleaner without the cash-only policy, Randy’s on West Charleston Boulevard opened in February 2023, recipes reportedly unchanged since day one though premium toppings and savory items have been added.

Busy at noon on a Wednesday, though a full selection was available, it was in exchange for $30 that a dozen Donuts were received, including two Jumbo-size Rings.

Recalling Cake Donuts greasy, Randy’s Red Velvet actually performing well, Maple Frosting is featured abundantly with taste artificial but pleasant in comparison to Chocolate that is undoubtedly cheap and applied too thick.

Well-priced in the current market, “cheaper-by-the-dozen” offers growing less common, Cereal-topped specials execute as expected while Maple Raised with Churros and Vanilla Oreo both prove worth the cost and calories.

Risen like a phoenix from the ashes of Ramir Bolanos DeCastro’s beloved Purple Potato it is as a Bakery that the former Yonaka Chef’s legacy continues to grow via Donuts, Cookies, Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.

Previously offered for delivery or takeout only, but now brick and mortar at 6370 W Flamingo Rd #20, it was Tuesday that fifteen items were procured for tasting and shared by a group during weekend festivities.

Never actually gone from the local food scene, the rebranding of Yonaka and Purple Potato followed by a consulting gig at McCarran, Chef DeCastro’s current lineup continues with Croissant, Ring and Polvoron Bismarck Donuts, this day featuring a dozen varieties ranging from Salted Caramel to Guava Cheesecake and several styles featuring Flan.

Also bringing back the Mix Berries & Oats Layered Donut for warmer weather, plus new items for each holiday, fans of savory selections will be delighted to know Ramir recently added breakfast items including a burger and Tocino Rice Bowl complete with glazed Pork Belly and aromatic Rice.

The only place in town for Ensaymada, traditional Cheese or Ube Cream, additional specials such as the Tres Leches Cake and Cookies sell out early for good reason.

Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe [18,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza

Bread and Butter

Garlic Romano Fries

Garlic Knots

Tavern Style Pizza – Sausage, Brocollini, Broken Buratta, Lemon Zest, Fried Onions

Tavern Style Pizza – Porchetta, Fontina, Roasted Pistachio, Balsamic Glaze

86th Street Square Pie – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Old School Pepperoni, Basil

Zamboni Pizza – Sausage, Old School Pepperoni, Roasted Red Peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey, Mozzarella Cheese

Triple Play – Thin Crust, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Triple-Portion Chicago Sausage

The Gotham Pizza – Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Sausage, Green Peppers, Ground Beef, Onions

Specialty Pizza – Zucchini, Pepper Jam, Catapuri

Cannoli – Ricotta, Mascarpone, Chocolate Chips, Pistachios, Confectioner’s Sugar

The flagship of John and Sam’s family of pizzerias since November of 2012, with an expansive floor-plan including room to experiment with new Dough, it was alongside six others that Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe was entered at noon on Saturday, Pizzaiolo Arena already hard at work baking Las Vegas’ best Crust and Toppings.

Dubbed “America’s Neighborhood Pizzeria” since the early eighties, though past and present Metro is so much more, it was after choosing from a multitude of tables and booths that a server approached with Beverage options including Beer, Wine and Soft Drinks.

Not overly busy just an hour after opening, though doing brisk take-out and delivery, lunch began first with Bread, two piping hot Loaves proving entirely irresistible before diving into a Tavern-style Pizza made by John Arena featuring Sausage, Brocollini and Buratta kissed by Citrus.

Always happy to let John cook, and more so enthralled by his encyclopedic knowledge of Pizza, it was alongside signature Knots and Garlic Romano Fries that two Pies were served simultaneously, The Zamboni turning up Sausage & Peppers with Honey while “The Gotham” delivers Supreme styling complete with Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms and three types of Meat.

Onward to a “Triple Play” of Sausage on crispy rectangles the cold-fermented 86th Street is defiantly light despite its thickness, and whether served with or without Toppings there remains no better Sicilian Pizza tasted anywhere in the world to this day.

Testing two new Pizzas on a willing group of thirteen, first Brazil’s Catapuri with thin slices of Zucchini contrasting bold Pepper Jam, a second Tavern-style crust supported Porchetta, Pistachios and reduced Balsamic before Metro’s Cannoli completed the afternoon with filling still made daily by John’s nonagenarian Father.

Crumbl (Durango) [16,] Las Vegas NV

crumbl Cookies

Milk Chocolate Chip – Milk Chocolate Chips

Patriotic Birthday Cake

Apple Pie

Strawberry Shortcake

Cornbread Cookie – Cornbread Cookie, Honey Cream Cheese Frosting, Golden Honey

S’mores

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, four specials alongside Sugar slathered in seasonal Icing plus Chocolate Chip that uses all Milk Chocolate and trends far too sweet.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Strawberry Shortcake,” flavors of Fruit and Vanilla well represented in an individual tray best eaten with a fork.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that S’mores layered atop crumbl’s Chocolate Chip while Apple Pie was neither Pie nor Cookie but something in between.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name “Cornbread” set a high standard for both the brand and Cookies in general by creating something just savory enough to be Cornbread and then offsetting it with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting plus textural components.

Early Birds – A Breakfast Spot

THE BIRD BATH – Rum, Coconut Cream, Blue Curacao, Pineapple Juice

Coffee

DOUBLE SMASH BURGER – Two Smashed Beef Patties, American Cheese, Grilled Onions, Pickle Chips, Secret Sauce, Potato Bun

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES – Corn Flake Fried Chicken, Traditional Waffle, Pickle Chips, Hot Honey

THE IRISHMAN SKILLET – 2 Eggs Over Easy, Corned Beef, Potatoes, Cheddar Cheese, Bell Peppers, Onions

THE PHAT ELVIS – Deep fried Cinnamon Toast Crunch, PB&J, Candied Bananas, Icing. Served with Smashed Potatoes

BANANA FOSTER PANCAKES – Banana, Caramel, Walnuts, Vanilla Ice Cream

MONTE CRISTO – Brioche French Toast, Ham, Swiss Cheese and Jelly. Served with Smashed Potatoes

Opened in April of 2024 by Ryan Labbe and his 81/82 Group Early Birds is located at 5025 Blue Diamond Road, a schlep for most of the Valley and one that has thus far been met with mixed reviews by guests except for obvious Social Media #influencer shills and “critics” grubbing in their car.

Described as “A Breakfast Spot” by signage, or an “off-Strip gem” online, guests arriving too far after the 7am opening can expect a wait despite open tables that go uncleared for up to an hour while table service isn’t much better – in some cases requiring a member of the party to stand up 30 minutes after seating to ask for water.

Pleasantly decorated with a virtual sky and bird photos, a scrolling collection of cartoons on television while iheartradio plays overhead, guests dine at tables high and low with plates arriving as ready – though forget asking for a “Massive” Cinnamon Roll “sold out for weeks,” housemade Chips or other menu items including some of the drinks.

Oddly disorganized on a busy holiday, 81/82’s La Neta and Juliet Cocktail Room far more efficient, once Food arrives he experience picks up whether one chooses to sip Coffee or the creamy “Bird Bath” with classics such as a Corned Beef Skillet or Chicken and Waffles.

Reluctant to serve Syrup without a request, its quality questionable, Early Bird’s “Monte Cristo” is better described as a French Toast Sandwich without enough Jelly while Bananas Foster Pancakes include Ice Cream but fail to booze up or Caramelize the Fruit in a setting where such seems expected.

Not lacking for portions considering a price-point similar to other community Breakfast joints fans of Burgers will be happy to know this version comes as two smashed Patties with all the accouterments while “Phat Elvis” in a lunchbox takes the King’s favorite Sandwich in a new direction thanks to Cinnamon Toast Crunch while omitting the Bacon.

Summer House Cookie Bar [9,] Las Vegas NV

Summer House

Brown Butter Crispy Rice Treat

Oatmeal Scotchie Cookie

Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie

Apple Oatmeal Cookie

Birthday Cake Cookie

Lemon 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 Peanut Butter eat soft and chewy within a gently crisp rim.

Recently impressing with a “Cinnamon Roll” Cookie, think fully-glazed Gingersnap with more Butter and less Spice, Summer House’s Apple Oatmeal Cookie reminisces of Autumn Apple Crisp in portable form while the Brownie and Blondie both benefit from excellent Ingredients cooked soft with lots of Butter.

What happens when a Baker with experience at Proof and Friends & Family meets the owner of Gourmandise School on a dating app? In the case of Tony Hernandez and Clémence de Lutz the answer is PetitGrain Boulangerie which opened in early May 2024 at 1209 Wilshire Boulevard.

A Mexican and a Parisian, their menu built on local produce and 100% organic flours, guests will find Concha nestled next to faultless Viennoserie plus Cookies, Pies and even things such as a flattened Croissant riffing on Sfogliatelle inside.

Priced competitive to the rest of Los Angeles you’ll be hard pressed to find a better Almond Croissant outside of France and whatever Butter these two are using should be a new industry-standard.
