We were in town for Thanksgiving and staying off the strip for a change so I wanted to use that as an opportunity to try a good local's place. Did some quick research on my phone and I was reminded of Todd's and that I've been wanting to try it for a while.
The place is in some random strip mall as many Vegas places are. Nothing too impressive about that or the decor. As people mentioned earlier, it is a little old school 80s but it didn't really bother me too much. It was definitely pretty packed for a Saturday night.
We ordered the much hyped goat cheese won-tons to start. They were pretty good but honestly not as unique as I was thinking they would be. I'm a huge goat cheese fan but these honestly didn't taste too different than regular cream cheese won-tons I've had at other places.
Its been a few months now so I can't remember too clearly what I ordered but I believe it was some type of fish. I know I cleaned my plate and it was good but nothing too memorable. Same reaction for dessert.
That being said, the service here was great. Todd is always there working as the chef which is very rare in strip restaurants. His wife was our server and she was very friendly, telling us the story of how Todd started the restaurant and all the places he worked before. We definitely appreciated this personal touch.
All in all, this wasn't a bad dining experience however it didn't really live up to my expectations. Perhaps its because I've had such great experiences at other off strip Vegas dining spots such as Firefly and Grimaldi's. If I lived in Henderson, perhaps I would go to this place again. I might even hit it up if I'm in the area. However since I wasn't blown away, I think next time I have the chance to dine off strip I might use the opportunity to go somewhere I haven't tried.
