Two words: Bread Basket.
We were in Vegas this past weekend and had a Valentine's Day lunch at Olives.
We have been to Olives before and do not at all remember the awesomeness of the bread basket. But the first time we were there, we were totally babies - just started dating, all in love, sitting on the patio at night watching the fountains. I was probably trying to impress him with my total indifference to carbs. But here we are, a few years later, about to be married and I pretty much attacked that bread basket. Onion focaccia, garlicy-cheesy crisp things, and spiced up dinner rolls. I was in heaven!
We ate more than just bread - we shared the Calimari which was somewhat more salad-like than just regular calimari. I thought the sauces were very good and ate more of the sauces/dressing and the greens than actual calimari.
He ordered a shrimp pasta dish that had some Asian flavors going on. I think it was the pea shoots that I eat on other dishes, but it kind of threw me. A very saucy dish, but good.
I had the Olives burger which I had my eye on from our last visit. The glazed balsamic onion was a nice addition and the burger itself was really juicy. Combined with the greasy bun it made for a somewhat messy burger - and that sauced up onion was sliding all over the place!
We had very good service and it was a nice way to end an awesome weekend in Vegas!
