Las Vegas & Beyond FOOD News

The LEAST Notable Restaurant of the week was Bistro 57 in the Aliante Hotel/Casino. It started with the bread basket. The bread was like a mix of dough, chemicals, and styrofoam. It was very unappetizing. For Dinner I tried to eat the Snapper Florentine Special. It was suppose to look like this.

But it looked like this.

Snapper Florentine Special from Bistro 57

The Fish was overcooked and a little fishy. It’s just PRETTY FORKING BAD when you need a steak knife to cut fish. Even the sauce was broke. BTW the other special Pork Parm was also OVER COOKED and dry.

The most notable restaurant of the week was Shawarma Vegas. It’s a Glatt Kosher Mediterranean Restaurant. It isn’t a fancy place and is extra casual. You best bet here is to order the EVERYTHING Plate. You get almost everything! Everything is delicious. All the meats are moist…EVEN THE CHICKEN BREAST is moist. Crunchy herby falafels and hot fluffy pita breads. Below are pictures from a few visits.

EASY Basic Barbecue Sauce Recipe

I don’t usually purchase barbecue sauce. I only needed enough for two dinners so this is how I made barbecue sauce for 2 servings of barbecued brisket.

1/2 cup ketchup

1 teaspoon molasses

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/2 teaspoon hot paprika

Just mix the above together. That’s how you make a delicious quick very basic Barbecue Sauce.

I happened to have a 1/2 cup of caramelized onions so I added them to the barbecue sauce.

ENJOY!!!!

Asian Wok Las Vegas NV – Best American/Chinese so far – Worth a Fork!

Asian Wok is a small very casual American/Chinese Restaurant that also offers a few Thai Dishes located in the North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada.

You order and pay at the counter and do take out or grab a seat in the dining room. It’s not a fancy place but it seems clean.

They start you off with some crispy noodles with duck sauce.

So far we tried –

Pork Egg Rolls

My husband said that these pork egg rolls are very good but did have to ask for mustard for dipping. Most Chinese Restaurants here serve spring rolls instead of egg rolls.

Szechwan Chicken – Delicious, full of flavors and lots of fresh vegetables, tender infused chicken with a nice kick……….Not flat and sweet like most places serve.

Black Pepper Beef – Nice tender beef with that black pepper taste.

Ginger Scallion Flounder – delicious and the flounder was cooked so darn perfect. Also a very large serving that can feed two.

Spicy Chicken Shrimp – Nicely prepared chicken and shrimp that was flavorful with a nice heat

Asian Wok is the Best American/Chinese We’ve found so far in Vegas and is Worth a Fork!

Bistro 57 at Aliante Hotel/Casino – Some things Not So Good – North Las Vegas NV

Bistro 57 is an American Italian Inspirated Restaurant and Bar located in the Aliante Hotel/Casino in North Las Vegas NV.

Enter here

To the right is the bar area.

Or a little further down the hall is plenty of seating.

I’ve been here at least 4 times and the bread basket was never good but on my last visit the bread basket was even worst. This bread just tastes artificial with an artificial texture…….Kinda like bread dough mixed with chemicals and styrofoam.

3 out of 4 visits I had the Flounder Francese and it was reasonably good on all my visits.

3 out of 4 visits my husband had the rigatoni with sausage and that too was reasonably good.

On our 4th visit we both tried the specials.

The Snapper Florentine looks different from photo.

It’s so overcooked that you need a steak knife to cut it. Our server didn’t check on us till I ate most of the vegetables that weren’t so great because they seemed like old leftovers that were reheated. I told her that the snapper was over cooked. She did offer to get me something else but I didn’t want my husband to stop eating plus I lost most of my appetite from this mediocre dish.

My husband’s Pork Parmesan was also over cooked.

He didn’t complain because he said this kind of pork is usually over cooked.

Shared some pistachio ice cream.

The Pistachio Ice Cream was ok.
