| - I really enjoyed my visit to the Bootlegger. This place is the talk of the town, so it's been on my list for a while now and I'm glad I was finally able to make that journey to the south end of Las Vegas Blvd.
My boyfriend and I turned it into a spur-of-the-moment date night, which are my favorite kind of date nights. At first glance, I was nervous that we were a bit underdressed in just t-shirts and jeans... (Y'know how some famous Italian joints can be)... The building had a string-lit courtyard and I could hear a live band covering ol' Blue Eyes from the parking lot, but to my surprise, this place is the classiest casual spot I've ever been to. I mean, it seemed to be the neighborhood's after-work spot, which makes me like it even more. Nobody cares which fork you use first!
The menu was incredible! Pricy, but there's so much to choose from. The boy and I decided to go out on a limb and try something new as an appetizer: Braised Pork Neck Bones. Tbh, it kinda weirded me out at first but the pork was so delicious and fell right off the bone, all while soaking in a flavorful broth that begs to be sopped up by toasted garlic bread. We also ordered classic bolognese and manicotti as our entrees, which were so yummy and came with the biggest portions - Perfect to take home and nuke for lunch the next day.
All in all, I'm a fan of the Bootlegger. Decent prices for delicious food. I'll be back!
