| - There was fire, alcohol, and a parade of food!
I'm loving this place! Maybe it's the Happy Hour or maybe it's because of our awesome waiter Kenneth but I had a great dinner here with some amazing Yelper friends!
I nibbled on Christie S.'s (super happy to have finally met my favorite Vegas-transplanted Yelper!) Asparagus with Pumpkin Seed Romesco, devoured some Blistered Shishito Peppers, destroyed the Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates, tried a bit of the perfectly-cooked and juicy The Tres Burger, and annihilated my dish of the Spicy Lamb Merguez Sliders. I'm absolutely crazy about shishito peppers so they were great but the bacon wrapped dates and the lamb sliders were my favorites. The dates are super rich and flavorful and the lamb sliders are a spice lover's dream. The Merguez sausage reminds me a lot of chorizo and I'm here for it, babie! I need the mango chutney they used for my toast at home too. Yum.
I also had a Pineapple Hibiscus Cooler and a Blueberry Ouzo Mule to wash everything down. Their cocktails are worth mentioning in their own paragraph because while I don't think they're advertised as a cocktail parlor, they make a pretty dreamy cocktail. The Cooler was really tequila-forward which is good for tequila lovers! I usually like my tequila hidden away behind a filler so I ended up pawning it off and got a Blueberry Ouzo Mule instead. Kenneth came by with a lighter, made the fiyah dance against a sprig of rosemary, and the table went wild. The smoky rosemary paired well with the anise-flavored Ouzo and the ginger beer. And who doesn't love blueberry puree? I honestly think I'd be back just to order the mule.
All in all, I'm impressed with their Happy Hour offerings and the menu is diverse and plentiful without being too overwhelming. TRES is a stand-alone building next to the hotel and it is gorgeously decorated. Those giant windows need to be on my house! I want to go back to TRES already!
