The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week

Leave a reply

Most fantastic bites of the week came from the newly opened Hayworth in Henderson. It’s an unusual steak house with elevated delicatessen foods. (The sablefish is to die for. Even my husband who rarely ever orders fish said that it was so good that he could order it).

Also tried The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills POP UP at Red Rock Resort. Gosh we had to wait an hour in line. Some people waited several hours. The food was ok and they gave out lots of complimentary cheese.

Ada’s Food & Wine – Las Vegas NV – Mostly Very Good! – Worth a Try!

Leave a reply

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!

My Trip to The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills POP UP at Red Rock Resort – Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

I read in the Las Vegas Review Journal that the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills was doing a POP UP at Red Rock Resort 12-5pm February 28th. I latter found out by my husband who read on Red Rock’s website that the hours were 11-4 and not 12-5. I did plan to arrive about a 1/2 hour early because the pop up at Red Rock are big events. I saw a short menu of a few sandwiches, a salad, and a few desserts. We arrived around 10:30 and waited about an hour in line.

When we finally got closer there was a lot of complimentary cheese to try and also some lunch meats and crackers.

Then we looked at the condiments that were for sale.

Then guess what?

Another cheese tray to sample.

When we got to order we found out that everything was premade so no special orders or request could be made.

Also no seating but you could stand up at a high table. We choose to find the food court so we could sit down. When I opened the bag I saw that they skipped out on giving us napkins and they didn’t even give a FORK to give me a fork! My husband had to steal napkins and a fork from the food court.

I tried a Jidori Chicken Caesar Salad. It’s not bad at all but kinda average.

My husband tried the La Macellaia Sandwich (prosciutto cotto, finocchiona,coppa, spicy ventricina salami, red onions, provolone, iceberg, oregano vinaigrette).

He said that the bread was good. He thought it seemed like the sandwich might have been made the day before because the inside was just squished together and didn’t have that fresh made sandwich texture. He also thought that the provolone seemed like not the best.

So GLAD I didn’t come at 12 because the line was so longs I’m certain that over a thousand people were there and it was relatively a short line when I waited an hour. I’m sure that these people would have to wait several hours to get what we had that is if they got in at all.

That was my trip to The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills POP UP at Red Rock Resort.

Newly Opened HAYWORTH – Possibly the MOST UNIQUE Restaurant near Las Vegas NV – Henderson NV – With a Fork!

Leave a reply

Have you ever been to a steak house that offers elevated delicatessen? Hayworth recently opened in Henderson Nevada. It’s by chef Alex Resnik who was a Bravo Top Chef Contestant and also did some Food Network TV shows and actually beat chef Bobby Flay on the Beat Bobby Flay TV Show.

Hayworth is a steak house that offers prime steaks cooked on live fire and also offers many delicatessen items. Some of the delicatessen offers are challah with schmaltz, a delicatessen platter, smoked whitefish, salmon lake, beef tongue agnolotti, potato kugel, sablefish, and 24 hour WAGYU PASTRAMI.

It’s nice and rich looking inside.

They have traditional tables, 1/2 booths, bar seating, and it looks like an outdoor patio is in the works.

We started out by sharing a romaine salad that is described as Caesar-ish.

It’s different but good. It some sort of artsy chef-ee creation.

We also shared the lox and latke.

For my taste it could use more cream cheese (Temptee) but is good.

The Sablefish entree was really FORKING Amazing.

This mild whitefish was so darn perfect it just melted in the mouth. It was in a very unusual unique tahini, apple, honey, beurre blanc sauce with parsnips and embellished with trout roe and sea beans. This plate really was amazing.

The 24 hour Wagyu Pastrami was also very good.

The Pastrami was tender and flavored well. We liked the beets. Brussels Sprouts were slightly hard.

Then we had to try the chocolate babka.

It tastes how it looks. Chocolaty with pistachio embellished cream on the sauce in chocolate sauce.

I have to say Hayworth is Worth a Fork!
