The short story:
I was in Vegas last week and went here for dinner with a group. When I told the cabby where we were going, he said "Are you sure you want to go to that neighborhood?" I was wondering if we were making a mistake but reminded myself that most hole-in-the-wall restaurants that I love are in neighborhoods that others would describe as being shady. The restaurant was about 5 minutes from the strip and when I walked in, it seemed a little like one of the restaurants on Good Fellas. I was half way expecting to see some guy sitting at the table cutting garlic with a razor blade...which if we're being honest, made me a little excited.
The restaurant had a good mix of steak, pasta and fish dishes. We had calamari and bruschetta for appetizers--everyone loved them. They also serve warm bread which was excelente. My Caesar salad had anchovie dressing...so needless to say it was a little fishy. For dinner, I ordered the grilled salmon and it was perfectly cooked.
I'm not sure I would go back next time I'm in Vegas....but not for lack of good food or service. Simply because there are so many places to try in Vegas that I would rarely eat at the same place twice.
