| - Spring Mountain Road Las Vegas' Chinatown's Sparrow & Wolf makes a bold statement in their website, i.e. Our Philosophy: We are the Evolution of American Cuisine! Wow! It takes some real "Hubris" to make such a statement--Chef Brian Howard's creation though lives up to the bravado! I erroneously had the impression that this was an Asian Fusion restaurant which is why I took so long to agree to our reservation. I am so happy that I bended on my aversion for all things "Fusion!" I have never found a neighborhood cookery that takes such care of their cocktails, and innovations in food. I love their clams casino, Udon, Spanish octopus, and even German Butterball potatoes (not the Peter Luger version, but really a wonderful complex of flavors). You must try the bone marrow dumplings, and pork shank. Finally the heirloom tomatoes with fresh watermelon makes your meal an event. Lastly, unlike most meals the food is not heavy, and will leave you with a satisfying feeling late into the Las Vegas night so you can even hit the tables. This is a concept that should branch out to America. However, the dedication of staff is hard to duplicate. I cannot wait until my next visit. Does this qualify for All Madden status--No! However, Sparrow and Wolf takes American Cuisine to the perfect blend of Old and New World casual street food! Right in Las Vegas Chinatown--Up the beaten road off the Las Vegas Strip!
