| - I've had Glutton on my list since before they opened, and was excited to give it a shot when a good friend of ours decided to celebrate his birthday here. We sat down with 15+ people and decided to order almost everything on the menu to share family style, which I highly recommend if you come here with a group. Some of the dishes are a bit smaller, and probably better for smaller groups, but everything is easily shareable.
To get started, there's a few items that I would say are definitely worth ordering...
Mushroom Poutine & Spicy Pork Rinds - Both of these happened to be on a HH menu when we arrived, so we started with them. The mushroom poutine is nice, crispy fries piled high with mushrooms and cheese. Tons of flavor, and good enough that I think our table finished a whole bowl before the entire party arrived. The Spicy Pork Rinds have like a Cheetos type flavor, but on steroids. There's a huge amount of cheddar flavor with a good hint of spiciness from the cayenne, and they are perfectly crunchy.
Shaved Brussel Sprouts - Maybe not exactly fitting to the name of the restaurant, but definitely worth checking out. If you're a fan of brussel sprouts, even in the slightest, you've got to order this. It's bright, fresh, delicious and has more flavor than you'd expect.
Japanese Street Corn - Yes, I'm mentioning this...and I'm really not a fan of corn. It's certainly nothing I would order on my own, but I'm glad someone at the table did. I love that it's cut off the cob, and that the flavors are bold. It's nicely charred with a hint of smokiness, and is probably some of the best corn I've eaten anywhere.
Other stand outs for small plates are the Buffalo Sweet Breads, Curried Cauliflower and the Chicken Live Mousse. There really wasn't anything that we didn't like, and I think we put in more than 1 order for a few of the smaller items.
Once you're done indulging on all the appetizers, here's a few things to try off their "Large Plates"...
Squid Ink Pasta - I was only able to try a little of this, but wow, it was good. There's a lot of flavor in the pasta, and I liked the addition of crab meat. It didn't have an overpowering seafood taste, and the addition of mint gave it a hint of freshness.
Brown Butter Gnocchi - Although I think the portion size is a little small for the $16 price tag, the flavor is nowhere near small. The braised pork cheek is incredibly tender, and would probably be a hit dish served on it's own. Gnocchi is traditional light, soft and pillowy texture that absorbs all the great flavors from the sauce.
Glutton Burger - Not the best, but easily one of my favorite burgers in town right now. It was a bit on the salty side, which may be intentional, but was otherwise seasoned very well. We ordered it medium rare of course, and it came out just right. One of the most unique things about this burger is the soft, kind of sweet bun they use. This burger is something you can't leave Glutton without trying in my opinion.
Other stand outs from the bigger plates were the Bacon & Fig Flatbread, and the Linguini Putanesca. Much like the smaller, starter plates though...there really wasn't anything that we didn't enjoy.
Aside from the delicious food, the service was excellent also. Our party was pretty big and we had one main waitress who really handled everything extremely well. She was on top of everything from the get go, and didn't stop checking on us until the minute before we left.
In short, if you haven't been to Glutton yet, you're definitely missing out. As a whole, I think it's a great representation of the way Downtown LV is heading. I loved it, and absolutely can't wait to get back for brunch.
