Stopped here for a quick bite before heading out to the Strip. We got there just in time before their happy hour ended, scored!
Happy Hour runs from 2pm-6pm, Mon-Fri.
Their online menu http://www.grottohouston.com/pdf/LasVegas_HappyHour.pdf
Too bad we prefer to drink other types of booze. Our bartender was a sweetheart with a heavy hand. She was trying hard to get us drunk within the hour, bless her heart.
- Kendall-Jackson Avant Chard ($10 a glass)
- Heineken ($5.50)
- Level Vodka ($10)
ROASTED HERB CHICKEN PIZZA ($13.99, $7 during happy hour):

The herb chicken was moist and juicy, but I didn't get much herbs or seasonings on it. Everything on this pizza worked with the goat cheese (basil, garlic, caramelized onions and roasted tomatoes). I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chef also added sun-dried tomatoes, in addition to the roasted tomatoes that was listed on the menu. YUM!
CALAMARI TOTO ($11.99):

It's hard for me to turn down fried calamari or fried chicken, so heck yea - I ordered this!
It's a bit overpriced, but I would still order it again.
Our fried calamari arrived piping hot with both the tentacles and calamari rings. The zesty marinara dipping sauce made the dish even better. Crunchy deliciousness that was neither greasy or over-breaded. PLEASE put this on your happy hour menu!!
