Ever walk by Wholey's grocery store and see a guy cooking sockeye salmon and thinly sliced zucchini on the grill? Well, that's Luke Wholey, who recently opened up his own restaurant on The Strip! Open air dining where large up-cycled wooden cable rolls are surrounded by comfy chairs offer upbeat music for diners both upstairs and downstairs.
As you approach, Luke Wholey is busy grilling sock-eyed salmon, jumbo shrimp and giant scallops and serving them with grilled zucchini slices, smoked red peppers and baby bok choy over your choice of steamed brown rice or sticky rice. The freshly made lobster bisque a la Wholey's is 'slap yo momma good.' And that is just a sampling of items on the menu. Best to call in, phone in or text in your lunch order if you've got a short lunch like me because The Wild Alaskan Grille is still going through some newbie growing pains. Just be patient because it is worth the wait.
