Freshii Now At The Palms

Posted on by in Restaurant and tagged .
Palms Sign, Las Vegas

Another food opinion has been added to the Palm’s Food Court with the opening  a location of Freshii a healthier fast food chain from our Canadian friends. The chain was founded in Toronto in 2005 and, has over 450 locations in North and South America as well as Europe and the Middle East.

The new restaurant will be open 24 hours a day and sells a menu of salads, wraps, bowls as well as juice, smoothies, burritos, soups as well as a breakfast menu so a little bit of everything. Las Vegas is a city of not always the healthiest food so it will be interesting to see how a more healthy food restaurant does in a city of endless buffets.

I do visit the Palms Food Court often for the Earl Of Sandwich snd the Coffee Bean located there so on my next trip i will check out Freshii if you have been to one of their locations outside Las Vegas or new location share your experience in the comments.

Fish & Chips Opens Near Strip

Posted on by in Restaurant and tagged .

Since i moved to the United States from England one thing I have missed is really good fish and chips. The fish and chips I previously reviewed were at Gordon Ramsey’s Fish and Chips located at the Linq Promenade which were really good but its always good to have options.

The latest option is about a mile from the Strip on East Sahara at Commercial Center with a restaurant called Catchers Fish House which i will have check out. The restaurant advertises itself as a foodies fish and chips place which sounds promising. The fish doesn’t sound like the cod in traditional British fish and chips instead they have catfish and red snapper flown in daily which is breaded by hand with a secret recipe.

The restaurant also has other options such as sandwiches, salads, tacos, wings and popcorn shrimp and at present its open 11 am to 11 pm daily.

 

Smith & Wollensky Now Open

Venetian Bridge Las Vegas

Even though it wasn’t a place i visited often some people have missed the restaurant Smith & Wollensky since it closed its Strip side location next to the Showcase Mall near MGM. The restaurant closed after the Showcase Mall sold for a reported $60 million which included the building that Smith & Wollensky was in.

The new location is further down the Strip at the Venetian with a 450 seat restaurant in the former location of Zeffirino Restaurante which closed in May 2017. It will be interesting to see how the restaurant does in a non Strip side location and if it will be as successful.

Masso Osteria Closing

Posted on by in Restaurant and tagged , .

A restaurant that seemed to have a lot of promise when it opened a year ago Masso Osteria at the Red Rock Resort has announced a May 31st closure date. The restaurant concept was from celebrity chef Scott Conant and, if you are a fan you still have a little time left to visit.

The restaurant space is going back to the properties owner Station Casinos who have plans for the space with a new restaurant concept that they would manage.

Tilted Kilt At Linq

Linq Las Vegas

If you are familiar with Hooter’s then you will kind of have an idea what The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery is at the Linq on the Strip. If you are not familiar with either the Tilted Kilt has attractive mainly women serve you in tight outfits and pretty good food in a pub like setting. I think many of the guests go for the view and i don’t mean the walls of the pub but i have seem families in there too.

The interior of the pub is themed like a Celtic pub although less dark wood with a more modern Celtic décor with bawdy limericks on the wall. The servers are the Tilted Kilt Girls who wear sexy mini kilts with the company’s own registered plaid pattern and are always friendly.

The food is mainly pub type fair of burgers and fries and is pretty good although in a town with many great burgers I don’t think people are there for the burgers. As the place is pub themed, they do have a good selection of draft as well as bottled beers with special monthly beers and beer cocktails.

Would I go out of my way to eat here the answer is no especially with all the great places to eat in Las Vegas, but the food is fine, and the service is friendly so it would be an option if I was by the Linq.

Mother’s Day At Plaza

mothers day 2019, Oscars Las Vegas

This Sunday is Mother’s Day in the United States and most Las Vegas resorts and restaurants have special menu’s just for Mother’s Day. One such special menu is at Oscar’s Steakhouse in Downtown Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel & Casino.

The Mother’s Day menu at Oscar’s starts with a heirloom tomato salad- buratta, red wine vinaigrette and basil for $14. The entrée is crispy branzino- arugyla, capers with buree blanc for $49.

If you want to pair an appetizer or side with your meal they are also offering a truffle risotto- parmesan, black tuffle and chive for $15.

On Mother’s Day restaurants get pretty busy so I would recommend reservations as soon as possible and, all prices do not include taxes and fees and of course tips.

Sports Deli Closes

MGM, Las Vegas

Carnegie DeliIt’s been a tough time for delis in recent times first with the closure of Canters Deli at the Linq and now comes news that The Sports Deli at the MGM Grand has closed. The Sports Deli may be know to many as the Stage Deli which it was named for 23 years before they changed the name but either way the location is going to become another Starbucks because of the lack of Starbucks in Las Vegas (yes that was sarcastic).

If you still want your deli fix and are craving a huge pastrami sandwich for example, the Carnegie Deli at the Mirage is still open and a good option and well worth a visit. Deli’s in Las Vegas used to be really popular at one time but maybe the younger generation are less interested in huge sandwiches of meat either way the Carnegie Deli at the Mirage seems to get good traffic and hopefully it remains open.

Zippy’s Announces Las Vegas Location

In what should be good news for a lot of readers of this site Zippy’s the popular Hawaiian restaurant chain has finally announced its first mainland location in Las Vegas at the corner of Badura Avenue and Montessouri Street which is between South Buffalo and South Rainbow. The bad news is that you still have a while to wait to taste their signature dishes as the location is planned to open a year from now and its a shame the location isn’t closer to the tourist area but i’m sure the Zippy’s fans will find a way to visit during their Las Vegas stay.

Zippy’s opened in Hawaii 52 years ago and nows is a chain with 24 locations in Oahu, Maui as well as the Big Island and has a devoted following for its signature chili as well as its Zip Pac bentos, fried chicken, oxtail soup, loco moco, salmin and mahi sandwiches. I’m in Southern California and we have several Hawaiian restaurant chains here and i do like the food so i am looking forward to checking out Zippy’s with its first mainland location.

The Las Vegas location will be a 7,000 square foot restaurant and bakery with a 12,000 square foot commercial kitchen on vacant land purchased by Zippy’s just South of the 215 Beltway and once the location is open the chain plans to have the restaurant open 24 hours a day which is good for a night person like me.

Diner Opened Today At Linq

Posted on by in Restaurant and tagged .

Today sees the opening of Maxie’s Diner in the former space of Canter’s Deli located in the Linq promenade next to the High Roller observation wheel. The restaurant has outdoor seating like the former Canters Deli  and is open from 7 am to 10 pm but with a twist they only have a breakfast and lunch menu with no dinner. The menu has food you might expect at a diner with some unusual items such peanut and jelly tacos ($12) which sounds a little strange as well as cotton candy pancakes ($14) although less weird to me i don’t know why is a pepperoni pizza omelet ($14); Other items on the menu include boxed to go breakfasts soup, salads and sandwiches.  The location at the end of the Linq promenade from the Strip is a little tougher as you have to walk past other restaurants and food options although it seems the food is different enough it could do well.
