Already visited twice since reopening after the pandemic and under new ownership there is little doubt that The Palms is seeking to regain its title as Las Vegas’ best Off-Strip resort, a goal with good chances in terms of dining thanks to Chef Marty Lopez, Tammy Alala and General Manager Jorge Pagani at Scotch 80 Prime.

Debuted late-Spring of 2018, stalwart N9NE Steakhouse making way for a room decorated in Basquiat and Haring, guests visiting Scotch 80 today will find much of the original aesthetic maintained minus paintings kept by past owners, the Bar still well-stocked with rare Whiskeys and service predictably impeccable.

Located at the resort’s east end with an entirely revamped menu, seasonal changes already underway along with an upcoming Tasting Menu and Wagyu Samplers including A5 varieties straight from Japan, it was deferring Carte Blanche to the kitchen that Dinner began with a “Steak and Potatoes” Amuse followed by flaming Shellfish and Marty’s Rainbow Tiradito.

Not forgetting delicate Milk Bread or crispy Shrimp served with their Heads, nor hand-cut Steak Tartare made extra smooth by a Quail Egg and melting Duck Liver, the nightly Foie Gras special featured a good sear and pickled Plums in the style of Anne-Sophie Pic atop toasted Bread.

Getting creative with Bone Marrow by adding Beef Cheek and Popcorn Chef Lopez’s Miso-glazed Sea Bass remains indelible thanks to not only delicate flesh in Dashi but lightly sweetened Fish Eggs and dueling Mushroom textures.

Cleansing the palate with Sorbet it is safe to say Steaks and Sides at Scotch 80 Prime are amongst Las Vegas’ top-3, a 40-day Dry Aged Creekstone Farms Tomahawk hulking alongside Aussi Wagyu and 60 day Butter-aged A5 Satsuma-Gyu from Japan while the “best” side dish is a toss-up between Mushrooms beneath Foie Gras Foam, Truffled “Millionaire’s Maccheroni” or the Famous Hash Browns.

Torn between saving room for Dessert or sampling all seven Sauces on additional bites of Steak the decision to do both proved fortuitous, Marty’s Bordelaise made the right way as good as anything one might find in Paris before delving into Pastry Chef Tammy Alana’s delicate Lemon Lime Pavlova and Butterscotch Crème Brulee.

Getting fancy for the #gram with Fireball S’mores, flaming Liquor poured tableside revealing Warm Chocolate Cake, Tammy’s Basque Cheesecake carefully balances bitter and salty with Berries while a dish unveiled in a swirl of smoke finds five types of Chocolate varying in taste, texture, intensity and temperature.

FIVE STARS: Ever since Carnevino closed its doors the desire to visit any Steakhouse but Jean Georges at Aria has been minimal, but with Chefs Marty and Tammy now in charge Scotch 80 may just be the best of its kind. Under the direction of Chef Marcus O’Brien with Jorge Pagani leading the front of house the arms race for best sourcing has been declared via certificates from Japan while both sweets and savories are thoughtful, bold and balanced.

RECOMMENDED: Steak Tartare, Foie Gras, Long Bone Marrow, Miso-glazed Chilean Sea Bass, Black Garlic Butter, Red Wine Bone Marrow Bordelaise, Forest Mushrooms, Famous Hash Browns, Millionaire’s Maccheroni, Dry Aged Creekstone Farms Tomahawk, 60 day Butter-aged A5 Satsuma-Gyu, Lemon Lime Pavlova, Butterscotch 80 Crème Brulee.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Japanese Wagyu and Olive Fed Beef priced by the ounce.

WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.

TON TON Katsuya, Las Vegas NV

TON TON Katsuya

Sesame Seeds, Sesame Dressing, Katsu Sauce

Okinawa Ice Milk Tea / Hokkaido Ice Milk Tea

Pumpkin Katsu

Jumbo Scallop Katsu

Black Line Pork Meatball Katsu

Organic Chicken Katsu Set, Rice, Miso, Pickles

Ton Ton Pork Loin Katsu Sandwich

Opened shortly before Covid-19 changed the dining landscape in ways never anticipated TON TON Katsuya has established itself as something of a destination in the Southwest, “Restaurant stylist” Martin Koleff and Chef Yutaka Kude seeing lines prior to opening most days and ninety minute waits for those arriving during peak hours.

Occupying the former Paid in Full at the corner of Warm Springs Road and Durango Drive, a space made all the more concise by wooden booths divided by barriers and a sizable open kitchen, it is once inside that guests will find laminated menus propped upright featuring items of varying prices.

Backed by the man behind Raku and Curry Zen with a Chef whose tenure spans from Osaka to Michigan, Hawaii and now Sin City TON TON Katsuya focuses on Tempura fried specialties, the take-out only Pork Loin Sandwich authentic right down to imported Bread plus hot Mustard cut into quarters.

Open for Lunch and Dinner Tuesday through Sunday, the setting decidedly genuine right down to staff fluent in English as well as Japanese, starters include fried Seafood and Vegetables, Kabocha Squash cooked tender with sweetness balanced by chunky pink Sauce while U-10 Scallops arrive nearly-raw at the middle next to Salad and a wedge of Lemon.

Making Katsu Sauce and Sesame Dressing in-house, with guests invited to grind additional seeds as necessary, Black Line Pork comprises TON TON Katsuya’s most pricey option, this time as a side of Meatballs made from off-cuts that eat like delicate orbs bursting with umami.

Ingredient-focused from Kyoei Foods Panko to Suntterra Farm proteins, all of it including Chicken fried in Rice Bran Oil, meal “sets” also include Rice, Salad, Pickles and Miso while Desserts save for Ice Cream and Milk Tea largely hail from nearby Suzuya Patisserie.

FOUR STARS: While the strip banks on another “celebrity chef” opening built to please everyone TON TON Katsuya has got a line before opening to do one thing and do it very well, with care and authenticity for those willing to wait.

RECOMMENDED: Pumpkin Katsu, Black Line Pork Meatball Katsu.

AVOID: Sitting back-to-the-kitchen where staff inexplicably managed to splatter 3 large spots of brown sauce on the back of a white shirt.

TIP: Given TON TON Katsuya’s small size and popularity this is not a place to linger, even though they neither offer nor take reservations.

Humboldt Sweets [6,] Henderson NV

Humboldt Sweets

Savory Scone – Ham, Cheddar Cheese, Green Onion, Bacon Gravy

Carrot Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Banana Cake with Frosting

Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll

Peach Scone

Blueberry Scone

Strawberry Cupcake

Pink Lemonade Cupcake

Bread Pudding with Housemade Whipped Cream

Apple Pie Bomb

Founded in Humboldt County California, there is a good chance Food Network fans first heard about Humboldt Sweets on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, but since late-2019 the Bakery owned by Tammy and Tony Pichulo has called Henderson home after re-opening its doors inside Coronado Canyons Center at the corner of Green Valley and Horizon Ridge Parkway.

Family-owned and operated, Tammy responsible for the recipes with daughter Hannah frequently offering a helping hand, Humboldt Sweets currently operates from 8:00am until 3:00pm Friday through Sunday, though early arrival is recommended as more popular items such as Bread Pudding or Fruit and Cream Cheese “Bombs” tend to sell out quickly.

Already baking well before sunrise, better-than-average Ingredients and plus-size portions commanding prices that run a bit higher than other like-concepts, small batches combine with classic technique to yield several-dozen choices that change daily, though the now-famous Cinnamon Roll and Caramel Pecan cousin are universally present and worth every cent/calorie thanks to soft spirals sopping with Butter plus or minus Frosting.

Relocated to the Las Vegas suburb as it is Tony’s hometown and making quick fans of locals with everything from Quiche to Candy, additional treats include rustic Cupcakes topped in hand-made Butercream as well as texturally masterful Scones that are delicious room-temperature but even better after 10-seconds in the microwave.

Not a place to count calories, but well-suited for families or friends looking to share something sweet, consider it fortunate if Savory Scones or Tammy’s Banana Cake are still available after 10:00am, and speaking of Cake, do not pass on what may just be the Valley’s best Carrot version thanks to bold spices and plenty of Walnuts beneath a thin layer of sweet yet tangy Cream Cheese.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: Now operating just three days a week, folks in Las Vegas proper will need to make a special effort to visit Humboldt Sweets, though based on these items (and others prior) the time, cost and calories are justified.

RECOMMENDED: Carrot Cake, Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll, Banana Cake, Savory Scone, Bread Pudding.

AVOID: N/A

TIP: Follow @humboldt.sweets on social for specials and updates.

Pizza Nation, Las Vegas NV

Pizza Nation

Hawaiian Island Pizza – Ham, Bacon, Pineapple, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese

Pepperoni Pizza – Pepperoni, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese

Garlic Knots – Tomato Sauce

Fettuccine Alfredo – Fettuccine Pasta, Homemade Alfredo Sauce

The newest concept from Pinkbox Doughnuts founder Roberto Armanino Pizza Nation took over LaBella’s in 2021, the small space at 6530 North Buffalo Drive continuing to turn out Salads, Subs, Pastas and Pies Monday through Saturday for dine-in or take-out.

Powered by Slice with online ordering, the interior but three tables, it was Friday night that delivery arrived right on time at a fair price during Las Vegas’ monsoon season.

Ordered for four adults and two teens, Garlic Knots a bit too tightly wound kicking things off, Fettuccine Alfredo quickly found Pizza Nation’s comfort zone thanks to properly cooked Noodles coated in slick, not-heavy, Cream Sauce.

Onward to Pies, New York Style cut into triangles, Pizza Nation’s crust blisters across the bottom without much of a cornicione and thus folds with a light crackle but enough elasticity to support Cheese, Sauce and Toppings whether classic or non-traditional.

FOUR STARS: Difficult to properly gauge on a delivery order Pizza Nation shows promise, though in such a competitive market an improved website and better Social Media presence to differentiate them from LaBella’s seems prudent.

RECOMMENDED: Pepperoni Pizza, Fettuccine Alfredo.

AVOID: Garlic Knots were overworked.

TIP: Open 11am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, until 9pm Friday and Saturday.

THE NORM – Jackson Hole Buckin’ Root Beer, Vanilla Ice Cream

CHERRY CHOCOLATE COKE FLOAT – Coca-cola, Hershey’s Syrup, Chocolate Ice Cream, Twizzlers

Replacing Lucky Penny with California-inspired “comfort Food with a contemporary twist” Serrano Vista Café is The Palms foray into 24/7 dining, at least Thursday through Monday while the space closes from midnight until 6am on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Located at the resort’s east-most end without much signage it is from the podium that the space spans large with grab n’ go choices at the front including Sandwiches, Salads and Pastries from Chef Tammy Alana.

Decorated in a nondescript style with neon and art, pop music playing overhead from the 80s to now, it is once seated that service proves friendly and clever with the sort of attention to detail many might not expect from this sort of venue.

Offering Breakfast, “All Day” and Late Night menus, Property Chef Marcus O’Brien and Serrano Vista Cafe’s Gonzalo Garzo collaborating on savories while former-Andre’s and Alize sweets specialist Tammy Alana tackles gigantic Cinnamon Rolls served with Chocolate-covered Bacon and a Butterscotch sidecar.

Also offering made-to-order Beignets where “the Golden State meets the Silver State,” and doing it better than NOLA, savories run the gamut from Hummus and Tabbouleh to Beef Brisket Fried Rice that each arrive in generous portions for the price.

Saving Entrees for another time, Sandwiches including “Vegas Hot Chicken” with housemade Hot Sauce and Slaw or the “Pho’rench Dip” that turns Banh Mi into a French Dip both demanding attention, Pancakes come record-size in fluffy stacks of two or three with add-ins available at a fraction of the price compared to MGM properties or Virgin.

Never missing a chance to try Chef Alana’s Desserts, past or present at Scotch 80, Apple Crisp and Snowball Cake shout nostalgia in all the best ways while The Chocolate Cream Tart and Coconut Meringue Pie each outpace many upscale dinner outposts on the Strip in terms of taste and texture.

Showing off Choux with three Cream Puffs, each good but Raspberry particularly compelling, Floats at Serrano Vista Cafe don’t get crazy like the Shakes of Black Tap or Sugar Factory but instead focus on good Ice Cream and Artisan Soda with garnishes for Social Media.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: If there’s one thing Las Vegas does better than anyone else it’s the 24/7 dining concept, and thanks to Marcus O’Brien, Tammy Alana, Gonzalo Garzo and team Serrano Vista Cafe at Palms Casino Resort outperforms most of them. Go for the Cinnamon Roll plus Beignets that are better than Cafe du Mond, stick around for the Pho’ Rench Dip and don’t forget Dessert.

RECOMMENDED: Cinnamon Roll, Beignets, Pho’ Rench Dip, Apple Crisp, Coconut Meringue Pie
AVOID: The Hummus is good, but the “Naan” listed with it was actually dry Pita,
TIP: Signage to the Cafe is poor. It is all the way on the East end, opposite the self-parking garage.

Reopened in October 2021, a pandemic induced hiatus and rearranged dining room in the rearview, Le Cirque at Bellagio remains the resort’s most sought-after reservation, even more so on Friday when Chef Danny Lledó of Washington DC’s Xiquet and Slate Wine Bar joined Chef Dameon Evers for a special two-night Tasting Menu.

Faultless under the direction of General Manager Gabriel Fontenier, the night divided into two seatings, guests entering the jewel box space were greeted by name and quickly handed a Cocktail before being whisked away to a room of plush fabrics and light music beneath the big top.

Serving seven courses on this night flanked by an Amuse and Mignardises it was not long before dinner was started, aged Tuna shocking the palate before Chef Evers’ showstopping Corn Bavarois topped in Kaluga Caviar and curly Popcorn Tuile.

Carefully paired with Wine by Sommelier Freddy Montandon alongside Wine Director Sanae Halprin, the former presenting tropical Granbazán Etiqueta Verde Albariño before Sea Cucumbers and Sobrasada with hints of Honey, a Red from Spain next found itself matched to chlorophyll-kissed Rice topped in a tongue of Hokkaido Uni.

Reaching for Bordeaux to match Turbot and Salsify from Chef Lledó, then Chateauneuf Du Pape for Dameon’s Guinea Hen with Black Truffles and Foie Gras Mignonette, it was after cleansing the palate with Pear Brandy that A5 Wagyu received classic treatment by way of Chanterelle Mushrooms and perfect Bordelaise.

Returning to Sparkling Wine with Dessert, Cerdon Rose making a return appearance before Compressed Melon followed by a textural Chocolate Tart, Mignardises arrived alongside Coffee, a signed menu and one of Le Cirque’s classic chargers as a gift for the lady.

N/A: Unfair to be judged as a pop-up Las Vegas remains fortunate to have a Restaurant like Le Cirque as GM Gabriel Fontenier and Chef Dameon Evers continue to reinvent and refine a storied space into something entirely new yet undeniably iconic.

RECOMMENDED: All dishes were one-offs, but look for that Caviar and Corn dish toward the top of 2022’s “Most Memorable”

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Le Cirque is currently open Thursday through Monday from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m.

The Fruity Pebbles Treat

The Cinnamon Cheerios Treat

The Cinnamon Streusel Muffin

The Raspberry Scone

Having enjoyed David Mozes’ and Chef Peter’s Bronze Café at The Center, The Market and Juice Stars, it was to #supportlocal that lunch was catered from their North Buffalo location on Wednesday, a collection of old favorites predictably arriving on time with plenty of plates and utensils that allowed staff to enjoy every second of their lunch hour.

Located near Desert Shores in Summerlin, the former home of Beau Monde Bakery providing turnkey access for a Restaurant offering Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, it is focused on health-conscious and diet-friendly fare that many guests began with Vegetables or Salad including “David’s Special” that remains popular thanks to Quinoa, Garbanzos, Hemp and Avocado that compliment thinly sliced Kale.

Continuing with “Sammiches,” both California Turkey and “The What What” receiving praise from those fortunate enough to snag a half, it was a bit more slowly that the double-Bacon LGBTQ and rebranded “Basil Chicken Salad” disappeared, though these remain personal favorites.

Happy to receive a glut of Desserts, all Vegan and The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle still Las Vegas’ best Cookie despite mounting competition, those missing Beau Monde’s gluten-free offerings will be happy to know both the Banana Flax Cake and all-new Mixed Berry Muffin are made without any Wheat protein, as too is a fully loaded Carrot Cake that only gets better with time.

Continuing strong with the cleverly titled Loving v Virginia, a Brookie that sees both halves nicely textured, Chai Spice and Strawberry Cookies are soft and almost Cake-like while those seeking something new should consider the Raspberry Scone that eats far lighter than its British counterpart.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, no matter where Chef Peter and David are set-up the quality has never declined, lunch on Thursday continuing to show quality and creativity bound to please those with and without dietary restrictions, whether they want to be gluttonous or eat light.

RECOMMENDED: The LGBTQ Sammich, The Basil Chicken Salad Sammich, The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle, The Strawberry Cookie, The Mixed Berry Muffin, The Banana Flax Cake, The Carrot Cake, The Raspberry Scone.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 8a-8p daily at 2380 N Buffalo Drive, Suite 110. 702-852-2830. Online ordering via all the usual apps but catering best coordinated by contacting the Restaurant directly.

Historically the first Restaurant ever selected to #supportlocal with lunch at the office, and reprising their catering role several times since, it was on Monday that Naked City Pizza delivered from the Blue Diamond Road “Express” location approximately ten minutes away.

The 25th time bringing Christopher and Michael Palmeri’s Pizza Shop off-site, indoor dining now reopened brand-wide, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that Michael arrived with a glut of items, easily enough Food for twice the number of guests with plenty of leftovers for later.

Presenting everything temperature appropriate it was not long before first-shift lunchers called dibs on Slices, Cup n’ Char Pepperoni predictably proving popular atop melted Mozzarella and housemade Sauce with plenty of Herbs, as did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives famous Guinea Pie featuring White Garlic Sauce and Grandma Palmeri’s Meatballs.

Slinging Sin City’s best Chicken Wings, a few dozen devoured in minutes, Salad again proved popular with those seeking something lighter while the Buffalo 22 Pizza continues to make waves with dueling Meats, White Sauce, Crispy Garlic and Mike’s Hot Honey.

Continuing with Garlic Bread, slices continued to be enjoyed alongside Sausage & Meatballs while Dessert consisted of housemade Brookies impregnated with Oreos that taste great warm, cold or even two days later.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is a reason Naked City Pizza has been serving Sin City for over a decade, and so long as Christopher and Michael continue to work as hard as they always have there is little doubt that any order will delight a crowd whether at the Shop or delivered.

RECOMMENDED: Guinea Pie, Guinea Pasta, Buffalo 22, BBQ Wings, Sausage & Meatball Parmesan Skillet, Oreo Brookies with Walnuts.

AVOID: N/A.

Baba au Rhum – Brown Butter Sage, Caramelized Maui Gold Pineapples, Appleton Rum Flambé

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

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

Still doing record 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, the city’s best Kouign Amann and Canele arriving first with the latter still outpacing any in the City.

Served at a careful pace, Chef Dugan’s time spent with Gavin Kaysen at Bellecour before joining Michael Mina seeing an almost seamless transition from Chef Josh Smith’s new-French classics, course one featured a familiar trio of shared Appetizers, Nick’s Escargots now traditional with Snails cooked in herbaceous green Sauce while Deviled Eggs wih Caviar and all-new Salmon Rillettes find their richness mellowed by Fines Herbes.

Continuing with four additional Appetizers, Pâté Grand-Mére and Fromage de Téte as rustic as any served in Paris plus ground-to-order Tartare that has wowed diners since day one for good reason, it seems hard to believe that a Restaurant doing such volume makes time to plate Salads so elegant as the former Endive and Crab or recently debuted Marinated Globe Artichokes with Caper Aïoli and shaved Bottarga.

Always retooling Bardot’s Breakfast Sandwich, its housemade Sausage and thick-cut Bacon contrasting the fluffy Omelette on an English Muffin, it was alongside this that Le Steak Burger came quartered for sharing before guests turned their attention to garlicky Toulouse Sausage topped in Greens plus Caramelized Onions.

Not about to miss the famous French Toast, two thick wedges arriving with plus-size quenelles of Vanilla Cream and Almond Brittle plus Foie Gras, it was on request that Chef Dungan also prepared an order of dinner’s Spring Rabbit Boudin Blanc plus Hash Browns topped in melted Raclette tableside.

Nearly too full for Dessert, but only nearly, Bardot’s Macaron remains a must for Chocolate lovers while four new items range from classic Crème Caramel to a flawless Clafoutis, dainty Pavlova and Baba au Rhum that will even leave fans of Alain Ducasse clamoring for more.

FIVE STARS: Having repeatedly challenged fellow gourmands to name a better Bistro, Brasserie or Café in North America than Bardot none have yet stood up to the task, and while some may believe that a Restaurant doing big volume cannot possibly compete with a place that seats fifty I’ll simply say I’ve done the legwork and Bardot can. That Chef Dugan and his team can maintain such quality at that volume speaks…well…volumes.

RECOMMENDED: Pâté Grand-Mére, Escargot de Bourgogne, Steak Tartare, Pastry Basket, Le Steak Burger, Spring Rabbit Boudin Blanc, Potatoes Rosti, French Toast, Chocolate Macaron, Stone Fruit Clafoutis, Baba au Rhum.

AVOID: N/A.

Farm Basket, Las Vegas NV

Farm Basket

Clucketos – 3 Rolled Chicken Tacos, Shredded Lettuce, Cheese, Salsa

Gobbler – Fried Turkey Breast Sandwich, Toasted Hoagie Roll, Miracle Whip, Cranberry Sauce

Chicken Fingers

Fried Chicken Breast, Fried Chicken Thigh

Mashed Potatoes, Gravy

Country Roll, Orange Butter

Coleslaw

Goods Potato Chips

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Since 1973 Farm Basket has been a local favorite in Sin City, the outpost on West Charleston still going strong from 10am until 9pm daily even as other locations have come and gone across the years.

Owned by Billy Bayne and family since 2018, historic signage maintained alongside longtime catchphrase “Carried Away with Quality,” guests old and new will discover a concise menu centered on Chicken and Turkey served in various ways plus sides, drinks and Cookies.

Undoubtedly an icon, nearly 50 years of business a rarity in Las Vegas, service is friendly and fast while portions prove generous across Coleslaw, velvety Mashed Potatoes and the $6.99 “Gobbler” featuring Fried Turkey Breast on a Toasted Hoagie with sides of Cranberry Sauce and Miracle Whip.

Sticking to classics in the age of Social Media, @FarmBasketChicken occasionally adding contests or specials, Fried Chicken proves juicy whether as Strips or on the Bone beneath crunchy Batter while “Clucketos” see pulled Poultry wrapped in Corn Tortillas beneath shredded Lettuce and Cheese.

Known for housemade Rolls with Citrus Butter, enjoyable but inconsistent across a dozen, Chips come from Goods of Pennsylvania while Dessert offers Chocolate Chip Cookies that are fairly basic and also variable in terms of texture from one to another.

THREE STARS: Although Farm Basket suggests being “Carried Away with Quality” such low prices require sacrifice, the fried Poultry standing out while everything else is on par with what one might find at chains like KFC or Church’s.

RECOMMENDED: Gobbler, Chicken Fingers, Fried Chicken.

AVOID: Nothing was particularly “bad,” but Cookies and Rolls suggest poor attention to detail.

TIP: A second location has been purported in Winterwood Pavilion at Sahara and Nellis for nearly 2 years.

WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookie

Half & Half Cookie

Cinnamon Sugar Cookie

M&M Cookie

Sprinkle Cookie

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Just the Dough Cookie

Cranberry White Chocolate Cookie

Sugar Cookie

Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reese’s Pieces and Cup Cookie

Banana Walnut Cookie

Located inside Suite 242 of 6380 South Valley View Boulevard it seems likely that no one will accidentally stumble upon Chocolate Chip Cookie Company, but for those with the prudence to seek Dessert while out and about the small store in front of a commissary kitchen may just be serving Las Vegas’ best collection of locally made rounds.

Focused on “Bringing the Cookie Back,” and previously available only by delivery, it was late 2018 that Jovan Mesa-Glennon and husband John opened a small store at the back of an industrial complex, hours from 10:00am till six o’clock or later daily giving guests a chance to see the facility and take home one or more of several flavors.

Baking everything from scratch, Jovan’s secret recipes yielding the sort of Cookie that blossoms a bit around the edge before becoming crisp, it was based on prior experience that four-dozen were ordered for work, the business’ namesake buttery with just enough Vanilla and Cinnamon to perfume the palate while chunks of Bittersweet Chocolate are partially melted throughout the center.

Next tasting M&Ms, followed by Reese’s Peanut Butter, the addition of Cups plus Pieces to Mrs. Mesa-Glennon ‘s Batter proves predictably delicious while Oatmeal Raisin is textbook chewy with oodles of nostalgia.

Prioritizing customer safety by individually bagging each Cookie at no extra cost, Banana Walnut wins guests over by way of natural sweetness and toasty spots in juxtaposition to sugary Toffee Chocolate Chip that is also slightly salty and heterogeneous from bite-to-bite.

Not forgetting White Chocolate and Craisins, nor Sprinkles or “Just the Dough,”Chocolate Chip Cookie Company’s version of a Snickerdoodle lives up to its title of “Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie” thanks to a granulated top plus plenty of Butter while “Half & Half” offers indecisive customers the best of both worlds.

FIVE STARS: Although unlikely to get a lot of foot traffic at the back of an off-strip industrial complex the wife and husband team behind Chocolate Chip Cookie Company are quickly making a name for themselves thanks to a “do one thing and do it well” spot featuring locally-made rounds in a variety of flavors.

RECOMMENDED: Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, Half & Half Cookie, Banana Walnut Cookie, Cranberry White Chocolate Cookie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Currently open 10:00am to 6:00pm daily and taking orders 24/7 via the website. Available via delivery with GrubHub.

Greek Chicken, Las Vegas NV

Greek Chicken

Chicken Kabob 1 Skewer Dinner – Rice, Greek Salad, Pita

Gyro Plate – 1/4lb Gyro, Greek Salad, French Fries, Pita

Gyro Sandwich – Gyro, Pita, Tomatoes, Red Onion, Tzatziki

Whole Greek Style Chicken

Hummus and Pita

Fried Zucchini

Onion Rings

French Fries

Pineapple Shake, Caramel Shake, Butterscotch Shake

Beer Battered Fish and Chips – Tartar Sauce

1/2lb Angus Cheeseburger – Pickles, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mayo, Cheddar

Baklava

Started in 1987 by Gregory Economou in El Cajon California, and now with four locations including a Las Vegas outpost on Rainbow inside the 215, Greek Chicken promises guests not just fresh Food but made-to-order plates featuring quality Ingredients at a fair price.

Opened in September 2020, the strip-mall storefront twenty yards from In-N-Out Burger undoubtedly a gutsy choice, it is once inside that diners will encounter pleasant staff who work diligently with menus both overhead and handheld offering a bevy of choices.

Advertising everything to be fresh and never frozen, the eponymous Bird an obvious choice whether straight from the Bone or as a juicy Kabob, most plates arrive with fragrant Rice, crisp Salad and warm Pita ready to be slathered in either Tzatziki or Hummus.

Also offering sliced-to-serve Gyro, 1/4lb of fragrant Meat plus Fries, Salad and Pita for just $13.95, those seeking something handheld may instead opt for a $7.85 Sandwich that is more than enough to provide an ample lunch for most.

Just $3.15 for sides, expertly-prepared Fried Zucchini competing for the spotlight with medium-thick Onion Rings served alongside Ranch, a few unexpected choices include three Filets of Beer Battered Fish for $10.95 atop a big pile of Fries and the certified Angus Cheeseburger available for $6.25 as a quarter pounder.

A bit pricey for Baklava, though at $3.65 per triangle the quality is good for Las Vegas, Greek Chicken also offers Ice Cream Cones, Sundaes or Shakes including very convincing Butterscotch and Pineapple so thick it requires a spoon.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: Modern but homey, also with a drive-thru, Greek Chicken’s menu casts a wide net but executes very well with standouts including never-frozen Chicken served whole or as Kabobs, fragrant Gyros and an excellent Burger plus Fish & Chips that outperform the modest price-point.

RECOMMENDED: Gyro Plate, Whole Greek Style Chicken, Fried Zucchini, Onion Rings, Beer Battered Fish, 1/2lb Angus Cheeseburger, Pineapple Shake, Butterscotch Shake.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 10:30a-9:00p Monday through Saturday. Closed Sunday.

Lawry’s The Prime Rib, Las Vegas NV

Lawry’s The Prime Rib

Raspberry Beret – Stoli Razberi Vodka, Raspberry Puree, Lemon

Sourdough Bread, Whipped Butter

Crab Cakes, Arugula Salad, Lemon, Lawry’s Remoulade

Shrimp & Corn & Jalapeno Fritters

Lawry’s Famous Spinning Salad – Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce, Beets, Croutons, Egg, Vintage Dressing

Yorkshire Pudding

Crispy Onions, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Lawry’s Fries, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Iron Skillet Mushrooms, Garlic, Fresh Herbs

Medium Rare Lawry’s Cut Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Creamed Corn, Creamed Spinach, Au Jus

Medium Rare Diamond Jim Brady Cut Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Creamed Corn, Creamed Spinach, Au Jus

Double Espresso, Ice

Sticky Toffee Pudding, Whipped Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream

Coconut Banana Cream Pie

English Trifle, Strawberries, Whipped Cream

Located at Hughes Center since 1997 Lawry’s The Prime Rib can safely be described as a Las Vegas icon, and although both Dallas and Beverly Hills have outposts that does nothing to dampen an Art Deco dining room and service on par to what one will find at some of The Strip’s top Steakhouses.

Known for Meats carved tableside from gleaming carts, though Certified Angus Steaks and fresh Seafood are also available, Lawry’s experience begins with check-in at the hostess’ podium, a trip to the lounge favored by some while most won’t wish to delay the main event.

Lavish without being stuffy, curved banquettes and tables each available, guests dine in a lively environment fueled by Wine or Cocktails poured shortly after the arrival of warm Sourdough Bread.

Smart to order some starters, though those seeking lunch in under an hour could surely achieve such with Salad, a Sandwich or Prime Rib plus sides, Lawry’s Shrimp & Corn & Jalapeno Fritters outpace Crabcakes with Remoulade while the “Famous” Spinning Salad is a polarizing experience mostly thanks to the inclusion of Beets.

Offering Roast Beef as a full-Dinner or a la carte, the former inclusive of Salad, Mashed Potatoes and overcooked Yorkshire Pudding, the quality of Lawry’s Prime Rib is evident in terms of taste, texture and appearance while additional sides range from luxurious Creamed Corn and Spinach to fairly mundane Fries.

Not forgetting extra Au Jus, nor sizzling Mushrooms and Whipped Cream Horseradish for fans, Desserts come at the bargain price of $10 each for Coconut Banana Cream Pie that is heavy on the Cream plus seasonal English Trifle and Sticky Toffee Pudding better than one will get from Gordon Ramsay.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: With locations in Beverly Hills, Dallas and Las Vegas Lawry’s The Prime Rib is less a chain than the likes of most “celebrity chef” Restaurants on The Strip. It is also a lot more honest. 25 years serving Prime Rib, Prime Angus Beef Steaks, Classic Sides and Cocktails in an Art Deco room with great service is about as simple as it gets these days and “what you see is what you get” pays dividends.

RECOMMENDED: Shrimp & Corn & Jalapeno Fritters, Iron Skillet Mushrooms, Diamond Jim Brady Cut Prime Rib, Creamed Corn, Creamed Spinach, Sticky Toffee Pudding, English Trifle.

AVOID: Yorkshire Pudding was nearly burned to a crisp.

TIP: Skip the Valet and walk twenty feet from complimentary Self-Parking.

Partage [2,] Las Vegas NV

Partage

Exotic Colada – Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice, Coconut, Mango Puree

Gougere

Orzo Risotto, Basil Pesto, Sauteed Squid, Roasted Pine Nuts

Halibut, Leek & Shallot Compote, Carbonara Foam, Onions

Duck Breast, Sweet Potato Puree, Roast Peach, Carrots, Sweet Potato Chips

Crispy Meringue, Whipped Vanilla Panna Cotta, Peach Marmalade, Cranberry Coulis, Peach Sorbet

Lemon Meringue Tart, Raspberry Butter Cookie

Found at the east end of The Center at Spring Mountain, inside the former confines of Chada Street, Partage is the second Restaurant from partners Yuri Szarzewski, Vincent Pellerin and Nicolas Kalpokdjian, the trio behind Eatt Gourmet Bistro describing their upscale concept as “the American dream of award winning French Chefs” since 2019.

Translated as “sharing,” appropriate in two ways as the team seeks to share their passion with patrons by way of what one server called “French Tapas,” it was immediately upon entering that guests were greeted professionally, the young hostess first confirming reservations and then leading diners to a PDR with customizable lighting.

Highly customizable, with 5, 7, and 9-course Tasting Menus offered in addition to a la carte items large or small, it was without delay that dinner began with a small Gougere while a presentation took place in the background.

Opting for a fruity Mocktail to accompany dinner, and finishing it quickly as its sweetness would have overwhelmed subtle starters, the star of the evening arrived in the form of “Orzo Risotto” forming an enjoyable backdrop to vibrant Pesto, Squid and Pine Nuts.

Well-paced with unobtrusive service, the latter a big improvement from three years ago, Halibut arrived a touch overcooked on a bed of Onion flavors tempered by “Carbonara Foam” before the main course of Duck Breast cooked properly amidst Peaches and Root Vegetables.

Happy to see an actual Espresso machine on Spring Mountain Road, the Beans medium roasted and offered in a variety of styles, it was here that Pastry Chef Vincent Pellerin took over, “La Peche” texturally compelling with assertive Coulis while Mignardises were each executed with a deft hand.

THREE AND A HALF STARS: Relieved from the self-imposed constraints of “health Food” at Eatt, Chefs Szarzewski and Pellerin are preparing some nice plates at Partage. The problem isn’t that it is a “bad” restaurant, but rather that locals and “foodies” want it to be something it isn’t. Good cooking. Decent Ingredients. Pretty plating. “Experts” and “Influencers” can call it perfect. Perspective calls it a decent French restaurant doing well on a Thursday.

RECOMMENDED: Orzo Risotto, La Peche.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Early arrival for reservations is recommended as parking at The Center at Spring Mountain remains limited.

Royale with Cheese Bao Buns – Angus Beef, Cheese, Pickles, Onions, Special Sauce

Nutella Bao Buns

Previously discussing Chef Marrone’s background here, time with Tao Group unequivocally involved in Asian Cuisine capable of satisfying both discerning diners and folks that typically gravitate to Panda Express, it was on time Monday that a Graffiti Bao employee arrived with everything necessary, professionalism and safety never in question.

Opting for old favorites from a menu that offers far more diversity than its brevity suggests, the Graffiti Burger was predictably the first stop for many, and although the tender Meat and fresh Toppings were highly praised Graffiti Bao’s Chicken Fried Rice remains a fan-favorite thanks to toasted Chiles and bits of fried Skin on top.

Onward to Green Beans slicked with Honey, the quality of Graffiti Bao’s sourcing shows well from Protein to Produce, five styles of the Restaurant’s eponymous Buns satisfying diners on this day with the BBQ Pork a favorite for many but the Pulp Fiction referencing Royale with Cheese also pretty tough not to enjoy.

Neglecting White Rice to save stomach capacity for better things, at least three whole Scallion Pancakes devoured over the course of an hour, Marrone’s Braised Short Ribs with folded Bao saw a whole tray emptied nearly as quickly.

Rounding out the allotment with Crispy Wings and Spring Rolls, the latter often overlooked but amongst the best of their kind thanks to an oilless exterior housing plenty of meat and flavor, it was with plenty of Leftovers packed that staff was sated and already looking forward to the next time Graffiti Bao is ordered.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Graffiti Bao sets a very high standard in terms of customer service, while every Item across 28 orders has been nicely presented, displaying “Fusion” without being compromised and appealing to a broad range of diners.

RECOMMENDED: Scallion Pancakes, Royale with Cheese Bao Buns, BBQ Pork Bao Buns, Chicken Egg Fried Rice, Braised Short Ribs, Sticky Green Beans, Prawn and Pork Spring Rolls, Graffiti Burger, The Bao Dog.

Vanilla Conchas

Debuted in early 2021 Milpa took over the former Elia space at 4226 South Durango Drive, its off-kilter location unfortunately easy to miss despite the fact that Chef DJ Flores is cooking some of the best contemporary Mexican Cuisine in Las Vegas.

Part Molino and also a sit-down Café, with stone-ground housemade Tortillas a point of pride, Milpa’s focus is a healthier sort of Mexican Fare built largely from local Ingredients, and although not everyone will appreciate that difference the ones that do will be rewarded by every bite.

Ordered for delivery on Monday, a Milpa employee arriving on time with plenty of serviceware and utensils, it was not long before staff piled their plates with everything from fragrant Rice to spicy Spuds, while Corn Esquites channel Elotes minus all the Mayonnaise.

Raised in Vegas with skills developed under thinkfoodgroup and Too Hot Tamales before staging at Quintonil in Mexico City, Chef Flores created Milpa after time at Chica in The Venetian, though the authenticity of this project far outpaces anything from Lorena Garcia whether it be Salad or roasted Meats.

Well-priced for the quality, roughly $15 per person providing more than enough of everything to go around, Guacamole, Chips and Salsa are all praiseworthy and made fresh daily, as are Concha served during early hours and Cookies featuring Chocolate Chips, Granulated Sugar, Cinnamon and Abuelita.

Further making fans with a Romaine & Jicama Salad, whether eaten as intended or using its constituents as Taco toppings, Chef Flores’ handmade Tortillas are medium-thick, soft and with the perfect amount of flex such that one is enough to support tender Short Ribs, plump Shrimp or juicy Chicken plus accoutrements.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Milpa achieves the rare trifecta of healthy, affordable and delicious, all while utilizing time honored techniques plus largely local Ingredients to produce Mexican Cuisine that outpaces places deemed “Fine Dining” on The Strip.

RECOMMENDED: Corn Esquites, Tortillas, Guacamole, Romaine & Jicama Salad, Short Rib Barbacoa, Mexican Chocolate Chip Cookies, Conchas.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Follow milpa_lv on Social Media for daily specials, pop-ups and business hours that currently stand at 10am to 7pm Monday through Wednesday, closed Thursday, 10am to 7pm Friday, 9am to 7pm Saturday and 9am to 4pm Sunday.

SkinnyFATS Catering [4,] Las Vegas NV

SkinnyFATS

Balls – Spinach and Corn Risotto Balls, Pesto Aioli

Cranburky – Turkey Patty, Arugula, Tomato, Onion, Cranberry Oh, Wheat Bun / Yummus – Pita

Meltdown – Two 1/4lb Beef Patties, Cheddar, Provolone, Caramelized Onion, Spicy Aioli, Sourdough, Sweet Potato Fries

Spud McCurry – Roasted Sweet Potato, Yellow Thai Coconut Curry, Golden Raisins, Mint Crème Fraiche

Banana Pudding – Nilla Wafers, Whipped Cream

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Salted Caramel Cookie

Self-appointed “The Best Restaurant in the Entire Galactic System” this writer’s previous experiences tell a mixed story of SkinnyFATS, one of good Food and questionable catering that seems to be improving thanks to the involvement of Graffiti Bao’s Marc Marrone.

Debuted during summer 2013 right here in Las Vegas, and since expanding via franchising to Texas as well as Utah, SkinnyFATS promises guests an opportunity to “Live Healthy, Live Happy,” every item on the menu’s left half under 600 kcals while those on the right are more hearty.

Ever evolving as relates to Chef Marrone’s ideas, owner Reed Slobusky’s Salads, Cookies and Sandwiches still comprising much of the menu, it was from the hands of a timely delivery-man that nine items were delivered, “Yummus” a bit thin but paired to soft Pita while “Spud McCurry” delighted those who sport a more adventurous palate.

Next taking a bite of the “Meltdown,” a Patty Melt punched up by Provolone and Caramelized Onions, those familiar with Chef Marrone’s work at Locale Italian Kitchen will be unsurprised that Vegetarian Arancini titled “Balls” are exemplary while SkinnyFATS “Cranburky” Burger sports half a pound of lean Turkey on a Wheat Bun with Holiday-inspired accoutrement.

Not forgetting Tempura-fried Sweet Potato Fries it was after a couple handfuls that two types of Cookie competed for the spotlight before finishing up with texturally-flawless Banana Pudding.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Chef Marc Marrone’s involvement at SkinnyFATS adds yet another concept to his cadre, and although the menu will continue to evolve there is no doubt every aspect of the Restaurant will benefit from the Graffiti Bao team’s skills and diligence.

RECOMMENDED: Meltdown, Balls, Spud McCurry, Salted Caramel Cookie, Banana Pudding.

AVOID: N/A.

Café Frau Bäckerin, Berlin DE

Café Frau Bäckerin

Tomato Basil Bagel

Brownie

Whitie

Nuss-schnitte

Apfel Dinkel

Banana Bread

Serving guests from 08h01 until 17h54 weekdays and opening an hour later on weekends one can assume Café Frau Bäckerin is a little different before stopping by, but for those who choose to visit the thirty square meter shop in Schöneberg the effort pays off.

Wood and stone with limited capacity, the bakeshop and kitchen known for everything from Salomon Bagels to Lasagna occupying most of Frau Bäckerin’s footprint, early arrivals will find several styles of Pastry plus Quick Breads, Cakes, Coffee and Soft Drinks.

Frequently Vegetarian or Vegan, many items also Gluten Free, it was after enjoying the soft insides of a Tomato Basil Bagel that Sweets took center-stage, a Brownie vs. “Whitie” matchup undecided since both were delicious while Banana Bread would have benefited from more sweetness.

Skipping Croissants outsourced to Endorphina, especially in competition with freshly made Apple Cake, suffice it to say that flavor outpaced appearance while the Nuss-schnitte was not like Austria’s version but rather like American Pecan Pie.

Brezel Berlin (Kalckreuthstrasse,) Berlin DE

Brezel Berlin

Butter Brezel

Pumpkin Seed Bread

Sesame Seed Croissant

Käse Brezel

Berliner

Mohnschnecken

Open from 07h00 until 18h00 daily Brezel Berlin is a popular stop in Schöneberg, the Café with free Wifi frequently finding guests on their laptops while others opt for outdoor seating complete with newspapers and magazines.

Specializing in Pretzels, signage suggesting “our café is supplied daily with baked goods from selected bakeries” making it difficult to know if everything else is made on-site, both the sliced “Butter Brezel” and one with Cheese faired well while Bread with Pumpkin Seeds and a soft Croissant were decent, at best.

Reasonably priced and happy to accept Credit Card, entry to exit less than five minutes for those on the go, Berliners come poorly filled without a lot of density while the Poppyseed Roll is compromised by Icing that renders it overly-sweet.
