Nobhill Tavern We’ve had a number of outstanding meals over the years in Las Vegas but a recent meal from Nobhill Tavern may be the most memorable dining experience to date. From start to finish, every component was nothing short of perfection. Starters of pristine fresh water oysters and a seared foie gras were flawless. [ READ MORE ]
Elevation Burger is the latest entry into the Vegas “premium fast-casual” burger scene that includes Smashburger, Five Guys, Fatburger, and In-N-Out. These burger chains all serve a great, pink-slime free burger made with fresh high quality ground beef.

Our first serious experiences with tapas, those assorted small dishes of savory goodies eaten with cocktails, sherry or sangria, were at Jaleo at the [ READ MORE ]

We know what we like and were pleased with a recent meal at the Buzz BBQ on Tropicana (there’s a second location on Craig Rd.). To get a good sampling of what the men [ READ MORE ]
When protein and smoke come together, it doesn’t always mean southern style BBQ. In the right hands, it can mean a seriously good apple wood smoked pork loin, white oak smoked sirloin, pecan wood smoked chicken or (brace yourself) nectarine wood smoked salmon. The three guys in charge of the smoke at the 11-week old [ READ MORE ]
In a town that has so many versions of pizza, picking a favorite can be like picking which one of your children you like best. For the most part, there’s good pizza and there’s bad pizza in Las Vegas. Due Forni is very, very good. The short, but interesting menu features a unique selection of [ READ MORE ]
