| - We dinned at Sunset & Vines to sum up an afternoon of skating and strolling at Lake Las Vegas Village.
It was a bit too chilly to dine on the patio, but I can see how other Yelper's enjoyed their patio experience.
I had picked up a restaruant.com gift certificate and read up on my Yelp reviews so I knew that we wanted to check out the artisan cheese appetizer.
The wine selection is quite vast but since I was the only one drinking, I chose a glass of Pinot Noir (can't remember which one, but it was excellent!).
For our artisan cheese appetizer we went with three selections. English Silton, Taleggio and one of the Bleu cheese selections (name I can't recall). All cheeses were EXCELLENT and they were paired with baguette, salted almonds and cashews, dried apricots and cranberries, grapes, olive tapenade, an apricot chipotle spread. We made wonderful choices on the cheese and the chef had done a great job on selecting items to pair with the cheese. I highly recommend you try the artisan cheeses! We even had left overs which we took home and enjoyed the following afternoon.
For our meal I had the Duck Breast special with rice and vegetables and my husband had a Sirloin Steak with potatoes and vegetables. The meals were just average, with extremely un imaginative and ordinary sides. The meats were cooked well, but certainly not something to write home about.
I think if we return, we would probably come back for the cheese platter only and do a selection of 5 cheeses, and drink more wine instead of getting full meals. The artisan cheeses were certainly the highlight. I wouldn't say this restaurant will pull us back to Lake Las Vegas, but it would be a stop if we had another reason to come back.
