| - Update for dine on 1/24/2018.
The Aloha Spirit is alive and well in Las Vegas' Harvest by Roy Ellamar. After all, Chef Ellamar is from Hilo, Hawai'i and we were certainly glad to see him take some time out from his busy schedule to talk story with us during our dine. Harvest's delicious farm-to-table flavors are further enhanced by attentive and knowledgeable servers, here's looking at you, Ken! Also, the see-through glass-walled kitchens and comfy furnishings added to the ambiance.
Our dine at Harvest was "orchestrated" by our dear friends as we came together to celebrate my husband's birthday week. Note: he celebrates a birth WEEK whereas I will take a birth MONTH. Anyway, dining experiences are best when enjoyed with great company in a well-respected restaurant.
We started with the Ocean Harvest which was a behemoth of fresh cooked and raw seafood and shellfish. The Ocean Harvest featured 4 jumbo shrimp, 4 oysters, 4 raw clams, 4 snow crab legs, king crab leg cut in 4 segments, and one pound lobster tail and ahi poke. That ahi poke was so fresh and seasoned properly that we ordered an extra bowl that was served with sweet potato chips and guacamole.
While still drinking our cocktails, our friends ordered Chef Ellamar's Pork Belly Lechon. OMG...our porkaholic addiction got our fix! 4 beautifully crisped-skin, tender and juicy pork belly slices were served with butter lettuce, mint leaves, cilantro and radishes that we used to wrap the slices with. An accompanying dip of lemongrass, soy sauce and calamansi further elevated this appetizer. It was so good that we went for 2 rounds.
The 4 of us shared the colorful Harvest Salad which set us up for the rest of the feast to come. Our table shared a 14 oz Grilled Ribeye ..gorgeously marbled, tender and grilled to perfection. There were a couple of pieces that was somewhat gristle but, for the most part, this beef steak was flavorful and tender. Other shares were Crushed Potatoes, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Exotic Mushrooms, and Lobster Risotto.
We had eaten so much deliciousness, we felt that we needed to be rolled out of the restaurant. Yet, we furthered our gustatory indulgences with 2 luscious desserts. The first dessert was Harvest's signature Sticky Toffee Pudding and second "lighter" dessert Lemon Chocolate Mousse Cake.
This fantastic meal with good friends ended with another highlight when Chef Ellamar took the time to come out to talk story with fellow local Hawaiians. Chef Ellamar often will make the time to share his Aloha Spirit with fellow Hawai'i residents.
