Far better hotels in the area. Scialatielli/Clams/Shrimp/Chili is spectacular. Curried Goat/Sweet Potato Gnocchi/Cashews is also wonderful +1 on the Hamachi app (Hamachi/Leche De Tigre/Cancha)...

Lotus of Siam was the best meal I had in Vegas. Hole in the wall in a strip mall, but well worth the adventure http://lotusofsiamlv.com/dishes/...

re: Went to Brq yesterday (review)

Posted by paz5559 on 6/9/17 at 9:47 am

1) The place has been formally open less than a week. If you go when the place hasn't had a chance to find it's sea legs, it is unreasonable to criticize for service snafus. 2) It if a very nice physical space. Obviously, they invested heavily in infrastructure. To expect that the cost will be...

Lovely place. Food is outstanding. Restaurant has a different target audience than the bar, club, or hotel. Here is their online menu: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56c4b4e77da24f28de37e895/t/5901296b197aeae14be52884/1493248363527/JE_Dinner_Menu_update_4.26_AG_V10.pdf Note, it def...

re: What ethnic cuisine will be the next big thing?

Posted by paz5559 on 6/8/17 at 11:10 am

Having lived in Manila for a few years in the 80's, I have always been a fan of Filipino food. That being said, most places I have seen make an attempt have only been popular with the local expats (in NY, Chicago, & NOLA), and can't seem to gain any traction with the non-Filipino crowd. The only r...

I know Clancy's reputation is cliquish and loud. I found it to be neither the last time I went. Ordered off the menu (a dish I had had the last time I was there) and they were more than willing to do as asked. Comfortable, great food. Friends from out of town loved the place...

The GULF SHRIMP & GREEN TOMATO SALAD is also a really good appetizer. The REDFISH AMANDINE is a classic. The "SHRIMP & GRITS" is odd. The NIGELLA SEARED TUNA is really good. All of the deserts are awesome. The BANANAS FOSTER is a classic, but the PRALINE LEIDENHEIMER BREAD PUDDING and PONCH...
