Wexler’s Deli was a popular Jewish Style Deli from California. Chef Wexler formally worked at Craft by Tom Colicchio and L’ATELIER de Joel Robuchon. The late restaurant critic Johnathan Gold wrote that Wexler’s O.G. Pastrami Sandwich was superb. Now all the Wexler Locations are gone and only a small Wexler’s Food Court Location remains. I read that Wexler’s is one of the few delis in anywhere that cures and smoked and also hand cut their own pastrami and lox. The tiny little Las Vegas location in the Proper Eats Food Hall also cures, smokes, and hand slices their own pastrami and lox and might also be the only deli in Las Vegas that does so.

We ordered our usual. We split a lox on an everything bagel and also split the OG Pastrami.

The lox and cream cheese has capers under the lox. It’s sliced masterfully thin and might be the finest lox sandwich that you can get in Vegas.

Today the pastrami is maybe a more generous serving than usual but also is more fatty. It’s masterfully tender but I think it is also flavored slightly different. It has more bark than the last couple times, maybe more fat, and is a brighter color. (I suspect a heavier amount of curing salt..) HOWEVER it is still one of the very best pastrami sandwiches anywhere.

Prior pastrami sandwiches did differ slightly.

Above was my first Wexler’s Pastrami Sandwich

A prior pastrami sandwich

They all were masterfully tender and delicious. The Lox and Cream Cheese must be the very best one in Vegas.

Worth a Fork!

Marche Bacchus is a French Bistro and Wine Shop located in Summerlin by Lake Jacqueline. They offer a French Mediterranean Menu that includes steak, seafood, pasta, and more! It’s very large inside with several dining areas.

As you enter there is a bar area.

The other side of the bar area holds many refrigerators packed with wines and champagnes. You can buy a bottle in the store here and they charge just $10. over price of bottle to serve it to you in the restaurant.

To the left is a formal dining area (no photo).

Pass the bar is this area –

Then I got seated in this area.

With stunning views –

We also saw a variety of wildlife here. I saw rabbits running around. A variety of birds flying over and swimming. Turtles and a variety of fish swimming and also someone in a boat.

We started off by sharing the Leeks in Vinaigrette (grilled leeks, lime vinaigrette, crispy garlic, finger limes, shaved hearts of palm, frisee)

Good but I expected it to pop more. I could taste lots of lime but didn’t get the finger lime texture anywhere that I was expecting. I will try something else next time.

Had the Niçoise salad (tempura anchovies, sesame seared tuna, potatoes, green beans, tomato, hard boiled egg, herb salad, butter lettuce, olive tapenade, gigante beans).

Good and it was nice that they seasoned the egg. Probably good for most people but the olive tapenade is a bit strong for me.

My husband enjoyed the French Dip (Angus beef, provolone, baguette, au jus, creamy horseradish) He did say that this was maybe the best French Dip that he has ever tried.

A sweet ending was the Orange Ricotta Poached Figs a la mode with Vanilla ice cream, fig coulis, and phylo crisp

Very Good

A few weeks latter we came back for dinner.

They started us off with whipped butter and a tasty sliced baguette.

We tried the Truffled Goat Cheese Napoleon.

It’s a bunch of layers of light crisp pastry with super creamy truffled goat cheese.

For dinner I tried the Trout Almandine.

It’s a large portion of Boneless Trout. It came out with a crisp skin but in a while the skin turn soft. The flesh is mild and meaty for trout. Toasted almonds, butter and fresh herbs adorn the fish.

My husband said that the Beef Bourguignon was very good.

He said that it was tender with delicious flavors.

I brought back 1/2 my dinner home so we could share the Chocolate Indulgence Dessert.

Now this is very good. I can taste rich and quality chocolate with nice textures. Under is a slice of moist chocolate cake. The middle tastes like chocolate pots de creme. On the top are multiple little crunchy things.

Stunning atmosphere and At least Worth a Try!

Dona Marie Tamales is a well known Mexican Restaurant and bar with two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The North Summerlin Location has a large bar area on one side of the restaurant and a very large dining area on the other side of the restaurant. Below is part of the dining area.

Whatever you order they start you off with warm chips and a spicy salsa.

The salsa is hot and vinegary tasting. It also is not the type that has vegetable chunks and herbs.

Someone has to try a tamale since this is a tamale restaurant.

When you open up the tamale it looks like this.

It’s very generous with shredded chicken.

I tried the Dona Maria Fajita Taco Salad (with cheese and sour cream on the side)

They gave a good amount of white meat chicken that is moist and seems marinated because it does have extra flavor to it. They also were generous with TONS of fried onions under the chicken. Also hiding in there is a loose wet guacamole. Today someone slipped with the oil because the salad has a lot oil in it from the onions.

My husband also tried the #27 green chili pork with rice and beans and house made tortillas.

He said the best of what he tried here were the house made tortillas that he said were delicious. The rest was just ok. The meat and beans were on the dry side today.

Today I thought was somewhere around average. Not the worst but also not the best. About average.

Ferraro’s Ristorante is an Italian Restaurant and Bar located in Las Vegas Nevada not too far from the Las Vegas Strip. They happen to offer a three course lunch for only $28. If you make a reservation you get to sit on this side of the main dining area.

And if you don’t make a reservation then you get seated by the bar side.

They start you off with a roll and oil adorned with pistachios.

This time I started with the Bufala Caprese.

My husband started with the Cesare Salad.

For my main I had the Salmone Limone.

(It’s prepared a perfect medium with a nice moist fresh tasting center and the skin is masterfully crisp and tasty like a potato chip)

My husband enjoyed the Pollo Milanese.

We both enjoyed a sweet ending of Cannoli.

The 3 course $28. Love Your Lunch from Ferraro’s Ristorante is still Worth a Fork!
