Mo’Bettah’s is a chain of Hawaiian Style Restaurants that offer a limited menu of the Hawaiian Plate lunch. In case you know what a Hawaiian Plate lunch is – It’s usually a lot of meat, a lot of rice, and macaroni salad that is packed into a styrofoam container.

It’s not a fancy place. You can sit inside or at one of the two patio tables that is outside.

This time I tried a mini lunch plate with pulehu chicken, katsu chicken, veggies, brown rice and katsu sauce.

The mini is plenty and I am happy to say both chicken entrees are flavorful, moist, and tasty. The rice is much better today than last time (last time the rice was hard) and the vegetables make it seem lighter and healthier. I had some help finishing my platter.

My husband had the regular lunch plate with kalua pig, pulehu chicken, macaroni salad, brown rice and spicy yeobo sauce.

The one thing he said was amazing today was the kalua pig. He said it was the single best thing he tasted at any Hawaiian Restaurant in Vegas so far. For his taste the pulehu chicken was good but too plain. Last time we enjoyed the macaroni salad. This time it has a weird taste to it?

They gave us a coupon for a free mini meal so we recently went back. I had the same plate as last time.

This time the Pulehu Chicken is actually better and tastier. But the katsu isn’t freshly made as last time and taste left over like it might have been made yesterday or several hours before. Brown rice and vegetables were good.

Sadly the Kalua Pig was all dried out today so we may not be back?

Dogs enjoyed helping to eat these meals.

First time we had-

Hearthstone is an American Restaurant and Bar that is located in the Red Rock Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada.

You can enter from the front pictured above or from inside Red Rock.

Inside is bar seating, lounge seating, traditional tables, and half booths. Below is only a small part of the restaurant.

The daytime menu is pretty brunch forward but does offer some items for lunch.

We started with a Lox and Bagel Tower. The lox was cured in house.

For my main I tried the Heirloom Tomato Salad.

It is small. Heirloom tomatoes, Soft Creamy Cheese, Blackberries, Basil, and Balsamic. After this you will still have room for desert.

My husband tried a more filling lunch. He had a Smash Burger with Fries.

We tried the Samoa Sundae.

It’s different – Coconut Soft Serve that’s not creamy but sort of Ice-y and light. It’s embellished with fudge, caramel crumbs, cookie crumbs, and coconut.

Calabash African Kitchen is a West African Style Restaurant and Bar located in Las Vegas Nevada. The Chef is James Beard Nominated for 2026 Best Chef Southwest. It’s modern inside. You can sit at a traditional table or the bar.

I tried a Kenyan Black Tea. It’s richer than regular black tea and is interesting.

We shared a Fataya Pies (vegetarian empanadas) appetizer.

The pies are fried nicely and seem free of oil. They also eat much lighter than you would think and are delicious! Inside are some potatoes and some other things. The red sauce on the side is tasty and a bit spicy.

We also shared the Fried Red Snapper Platter.

It came with citrusy mostly cucumber and tomato chunks and a side of spiced caramelized onions. I picked the plantains as my side. Today the fish is slightly over cooked and is slightly dry but the flavors are all delicious!

We also shared their famous Jollof Rice with Chicken.

This is mighty flavorful….The chicken and also the rice. I’ve had Jollof rice a few times but none of the others was as flavorful as this one. I thought both dishes tasted great but the chicken is more complex with flavors than the fish.

Calabash African Kitchen is Worth a Fork!

Ada’s Food and Wine is a globally inspired American Restaurant and Wine Bar that is located in downtown Las Vegas in the Arts District.

The main dining room has a view of the open kitchen and also has a wine bar to one side.

Off to the other side is another wine bar not pictured.

If you drink wine then you will probably order wine here. They’ve won some awards for one of the BEST wine list in the country.

It’s mostly small sharing plates here.

We started out by trying the Maitake Mushrooms with Miso Fondue.

Really meaty perfectly cooked mushrooms with flavors that go really well together.

Next was Beets with (non-traditional) Salsa Matcha.

Different but tasty.

The only off dish was the Tagliatelle with Lemon Cream.

The pasta was cooked perfect but they added so much salt that I couldn’t eat it.

I am relieved or happy to say that the Halibut with (non-traditional) Harissa and Carrots was very good.

And the halibut was cooked perfect too. (that is pretty rare – most people over cook halibut)

They were very nice at Ada’s and they did offer to give me another plate to replace the pasta and a manager also offered to remove the pasta from our bill but we declined because my husband still ate the pasta. He said it was salty to him but somehow was still able to eat it.

Ada’s Food and Wine is at least – Mostly very good! – Worth a Try!
