| - this has to be one of the best places to have lunch in vegas. this place is ridiculously busy for lunch. this place is away from the strip and located in a strip mall, so it's very delicious, easy to get to, plenty of parking, and a great deal. For only $25 at lunch, you get a choice of an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. you'd think you would only have a minimal selection in each couse, but actually there are quite a bit of choices and any specials of the day can be included. i mean there are things like bbq shrimp, butternut squash soup for starters. there are grilled mah-mahi, filet kabobs (which my lovely date enjoyed), and stuffed eggplant for entrees. Finally, they have chocolate flourless cake, creme brulee, and coconut bread pudding.
my favorite appetizer that i recommend anybody to start with is the dry aged beef with maytag blue cheese carpaccio with a arugula & granny smith apple salad and dabbled with candied walnuts. if you get each item in your mouth it's just a wonderful medley.
i always follow with the really really crispy leg of duck confit on a bed of lentils with brandy green peppercorn sauce. i just love the crispiness and saltiness of the meat. i just wish they would put another duck leg in there for all the lentils they put on that dish.
usually i end the meal w/a very light dessert like the trio of sorbet, but this time i decided to go heavy with the goat cheesecake. it had a lot more kick because of strong flavor of the goat cheese and was sweetened up by the scotch caramel sauce.
my lovely date, also pointed out that the service was "amazingly fabulous!" they work as a team. they are very attentive to pushing your chair in, folding your napkins when you leave, refilling your water, delivering your food, and setting up your table.
i highly recommend this place to anybody who lives or is visiting Vegas...
