Sicilian Guys Trattoria is a full service Italian Restaurant and Bar located in the North/West part of Vegas. Inside they offer a variety of seating. They offer booths, traditional tables, bar seating and indoor patio seating.

On our most recent visit we were here at dinner time and they started us off with house made bread with a large sprig of rosemary and a small dish of embellished oil.

This was good we were happy with the bread.

My husband tried the arancini.

He said that this was less seasoned than he is used to but was the highlight of dinner tonight.

The most disappointing plate from all my visits here was the chicken marsala.

It looks good and the chicken is nice and tender but –

It’s next to tasteless.

It sits in something very watery that tastes like mushroom water.

My husband tastes a piece of the chicken and he says, “WOW that is tasteless” “You are going to need to add salt and pepper to it”

The other problem was that the pastas very over cooked and the bucatini are splitting in half.

My husband’s dinner is slightly better.

He had the chicken parm.

Again the chicken is tender and nice and moist and also the cheese on it is good.

But the pasta is also very over cooked and falling apart. Also the tomato sauce is very thick and has little flavor.

Below is Charlie eating a piece of pasta.

Below are reasonably good foods from previous visits.

Lazeez Pakistani Indian Mediterranean Grill is a very unique restaurant located around the North Summerlin part of Vegas. They offer Pakistani-Type Indian Foods and also Mediterranean foods like hummus, falafels, and kabobs. Pakistani food runs more meat protein heavy than regular indian foods so you will find beef here and also hamburgers.

We decided to try the lunch buffet offered every day starting at 11:30.

Cold part of buffet

There’s a lot of food to try for only about $21.00 a person.

I was full after my first plate.

The appetizers were tasty (samosa and fried vegetable something) I also got chili chicken, chicken tikka masala, chic pea curry, chicken byiani, spinach curry, and suji halwa (taste like spiced apples but is semolina) Everything we tried seemed freshly made and was hot and fresh. I have to say it was mostly very good.

They also give you fresh made hot naan breads that are delicious.

Sizzle Stack Burger is a small casual family owned burger place in the Spring Valley part of Vegas.

They have a small simple but good smash burger menu of fresh ground in-house brisket burgers and beef tallow fries.

It’s very casual inside.

You order and pay at the counter (BTW – This establishment is cashless you need a bank or credit card)

Then you get a number and seat yourself. The cashier serves you your beverage and runs the food out a few minutes latter.

We both tried smash burgers called Sizzle Stack Burgers (double patty, American cheese ((mine no cheese), grilled onions, pickles, house sauce) and some tallow fries.

This was all surprisingly very good. It’s like if fast food was good this would be it. Prices were also reasonable and the girl at the counter even checked on us.

We let Charlie try some.

The Charcoal Room is a steakhouse with two locations in Las Vegas NV. One is located in Palace Station that is close to the strip and the other is in Santa Fe Station that is in North/West Las Vegas. The Santa Fe has a large bar in the middle of the restaurant with mostly booths all around the room and a few traditional tables.

Whatever you order they start you off with a bread basket and butter.

This time we tried the shishito peppers as an appetizer.

They are good but run a bit too spicy hot today. I take most them home to freeze and use for when I need hot peppers.

For my main I tried the miso glazed sea bass special.

For me it’s reasonably good. All is well.

My husband tries the surf and turf special (lobster tail and 6 oz Prime Filet).

with a side order of macaroni and cheese.

All here is prepared nicely and is delicious.

Here are pictures from a few visits.

Here’s Charlie enjoying some Prime Filet.

Yu By Sijie is a Chinese Restaurant located in Tivoli Village in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada.

Inside are traditional tables surrounded by mostly booths and an open kitchen.

Ordering is very moderne and different.

You order off a tablet.

There are no definitions and some items are in Chinese.

We started out by trying the chicken soup dumplings.

Ummm they are very good! Best chicken soup dumplings that I’ve tried anywhere! Good soup inside and a good amount of chicken that is tender moist and layered with flavors.

Then we also shared several dishes.

This is spicy boiling fish…..Very good but also very spicy with mouth numbing Szechwan pepper corns.

Next was sweet garlic eggplant. This cooled you off from the spicy boiling fish.

It came on a very fancy pretty plate.

Last dish was red chili pepper stir fry chicken.

This was interesting and different. To me it seemed more like chili chicken and not a stir fry. For some reason it doesn’t seem spicy at first but then heat builds as you eat it and then you need more eggplant to cool off.

We had leftovers and they gave us a cute bag to carry them home in.

Yu By Sijie is certainly Worth a Try!
