| - Hustling through the Linq on my way to the High Roller with my family, my eye was caught by the Nook Cafe. It looked clean, bright and inviting, and I filed it away in my mind as a possibility for dinner. When we came back through that night, we popped in.
The employees were consistently friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a build-your-own salad option with loads of fresh toppings to choose from, and they cheerfully indulged my five year old son as he concocted his lettuce, raisin and crunchy noodle feast. My wife and I each got a Chinese Chicken Salad -- hold the chicken -- and it was tasty and filling. We all shared a slice of cheese pizza, and the huge slice was definitely shareable when paired with a salad. The pizza had good sauce in just the right amount, a nice crust that wasn't too doughy, and it was fresh from the oven.
They have those cool soda fountains where you can add one of several flavored syrups to your drink (vanilla, cherry, etc.). Too bad they had Pepsi instead of Coke products!
At the end of our meal, a kind person working there discreetly asked if my son had been a good boy today and if I thought he deserved a free cookie. His eyes widened with surprise when I handed him his peanut butter cookie, which he loved!
Prices were rather high, but on par for anything on The Strip.
This low-key, well-run eatery, with quick service and healthy options, was a winner for my family among the indulgent and heavy foods in the casinos. I'll definitely be back on any future Vegas trip that brings me to the Linq!
