Decided to try a new place off the strip for dinner. We found this place on yelp and had dinner on 8/9 with a party of 8. This place is quite far off the strip. Dinner was set for 6:30pm and the place was at about 30% capacity at that time. We were seated right away. The decor was nice and "modern". The server came right away and gave us the menu. We were about 10 mins away from the end of Happy Hour, but she let us order a bunch of stuff off of it. Not sure if the portions are the same or not (most likely smaller), but the prices seemed decent. There were a lot of hits and misses during our dinner.
Hits:
- Sake Sangria. Not terribly strong but tasty. Felt like drinking juice.
- The brussel sprouts were pretty good. They were deep fried and flakey. I usually only like it with bacon, but this was decent
- The Salmon Orangi (sp?) was also good. Salmon was fresh and the orange made it sweet yet savory (ponzu sauce I think).
Misses:
- Beet fries. No real flavor. Had to use the aioli to make it palatable
- Blue fin tuna. Very disappointed. The tuna was sliced pretty thin.
- Pork ribs. Lots of fat and flavor was just ok.
All in all, I think this place has potential. I would like to come back and try their regular menu. Service was good and the price was decent.
