After years of patronizing the Las Vegas strip, I have finally had it. All these big name restaurateurs have in the last decade or so set up shop on the strip. The food is, for the most part, average; the prices are sky high and the service stinks.
So lately I have taken to checking out the off-the-strip establishments. And I have to say I have been amply rewarded.
Case in point, Sparrow + Wolf. OMG! A foodie's haven away from the torture of the strip. Located in Chinatown, it is nouveau cuisine but totally relatable. Fresh new takes on the classics.
The place is cozy, intimate and friendly. The fare superb.
Tuna poke, wood fired lasagne, beef cheek and marrow dumplings and short rib (see pictures) just blew us away (my daughter and her husband from New York were my dining companions).
A lovely experience complemented by very friendly staff.
