| - HOORAY! finally a "GOOD" new restaurant in Henderson near Anthem!!!!!
Visited the S & P on Friday night and was sooo pleasantly happy this will be a main stay for us ~ We really enjoy their sister restaurant in Downtown Las Vegas named Carson's Kitchen. So we are excited to have a spin off so close by!!!!
Pleasantly designed with 3 sections, a lounge area, dining area & an outside patio area. Actually 4 if you count the seating at the bar..... Not over dressed just comfy & inviting. S & P features the basic cocktails PLUS craft cocktails too ~ I enjoyed the "Listen Linda" very refreshing and lite.
Food is served "Tapas" style which is isn't exactly new in the restaurant biz, however S & P does it with a nice twist calling it a "Social" menu ~ we started with the Gravlax! served very enticing with farmers cheese, orange caviar (probably whitefish caviar) dill, finely chopped red onion, capers and pumpernickel toast points, also needed to request additional pumpernickel as the gravlax is a generous portion. I am not a huge fan of smoked salmon or gravlax. I did try this and has a really nice texture & taste certainly glad I tried it!
Next were the meatballs.... more my style 5 to an order, and served in a modern bowl with Sunday Gravy which is a red marinara type sauce and topped with white cream sauce accent. Pretty to look at & DEEELISH to EAT! Cooked perfectly with a bit of a crunch on the outside and moist on the inside. I predict this will be a BIG seller ~
Into every meal should be some type of potato.....the Salt & Pepper Fries baby! served with 3 dipping choices, homemade roasted tomato ketchup, a horseradish mustard and a basil mayo. YUMMY!!!
AND YES! you must have a vegetable with dinner so the "3 BEAN" is a perfect answer for this. Assorted green & yellow string beans in an Asiany, soy & garlic sauce, making my mouth water just talking about it. Served al dente, (not over cooked, like my Mom cooked 'em!) really, really nice & flavorful.
The SURPRISE selection was the Date & Bleu Cheese Jam. DEVINE DELICIOUSNESS on a toasted buttered almond baguette. Sweet with a slight kick of heat, just soooo GOOD! had to request more baguette as the jam is served in a plentiful sized dish.
Our final selection was the Carrot Risotto. I LUV risotto so this was a no brainer for us! It is carrot so don't be put off by the color ~ very good, with black truffle, artichoke heart & aged pecorino ~ albeit a tad salty for our tastes. I would definitely order again, as we did mention to the manager the salt and she was appreciative for the feedback.
Desserts are a plenty at Standard & Pour ~ we ordered 2! the Wine & Cheese Sundae which has cheesecake blonde, merlot ice cream with brandied cherries. & the Lost Bread both were EXCELLANT!!! is like a cinnamon roll in a bread pudding format with maple icing. This is a HUGE portion so one for the table is quite ample~ Honestly I could have eaten the entire slice, in my former life! JUST DEVINE SWEETNESS and a nice finish for our meal with friends.
The reason for the 4 and not 5 stars, a few missteps. This is a new gastropub restaurant only open for 3 days so they are working out a few kinks, which is to be expected. As an example, we found the back ground music a little loud as the restaurant filled up it became quite noisy with everyone talking over it, remembering to bring serving spoons with each course, asking if anyone would like water, a beer glass needed to be refreshed. All the hosts & servers were very pleasant, the manager & the chef both came by our table, the manager a couple times~ She did send out a complimentary Whole Cooked Romanesco ~ a very nice touch & probably something we would have never ordered. Tasted good with capers, red onion, golden raisins & fine herbs. ~
Be sure to stop in, you will be happy to find the HOTTEST new destination in Henderson. Standard & Pour is open daily starting @ 4pm they take reservations, offer Take Out, valet & FREE Parking & Wi-Fi.
