My Garage Kitchen is a garage themed family owned restaurant located in North Las Vegas Nevada. They are open for American Style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Inside is mostly traditional table seating. They do have a small bar and an outside patio.
I tried the Grilled Salmon.
I requested medium but was served well done. The server did offer to remake the dish but I just ate it anyway. The mashed potatoes are a very generous portion but are more like a smashed potato and is a bit dry. The asparagus are unusually great. Nice and fresh crisp and seasoned unusually well and also are a bit spicy.
My husband tried the patty melt.
He said that the patty is also a bit over done but tastes ok with all the cheese and onions. He also said that the rye bread was very good and he liked the onion rings. The server also offered to remake this one too but we were about 1/3 finished already by that time and didn’t want to start over.
Very good if you like your food all well done.
I suspect that breakfast might be the sweet spot here.
Shucks Tavern Gaming and Oyster Bar is a 24/7 breakfast, lunch, dinner, a seafood heavy menu, and Gaming Bar and restaurant with two locations in Las Vegas. The Centennial location offers bar seating, traditional tables and booths.
On one visit I tried a Golden Cadillac Margarita. It didn’t have a traditional taste to me but it was so strong that it could do push ups.
Here’s the blacked salmon chopped salad below.
It’s a gigantic serving….(maybe they accidentally gave me extra?) It can feed 2-3 people. It’s nothing exciting but it is reasonably good.
My husband tried the Fisher Platter (Fried Haddock and Fried Shrimp)
It’s also a tremendous amount of food with a generous serving of tater tots.
Below is the grilled Haddock.
(all this food was $20. subject to change)
Below is the Jambalaya that was also reasonably good.
Large Portions of reasonably good food that is reasonably Priced.
Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano is a North Italian Style Restaurant and Bar located in the Restaurant Row in the Palazzo part of the Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The menus change with the seasons but here are some of their offerings. At lunch time it looks like this.
Dinner looks more like this at dinner time.
On our first visit at lunch time they started us off with Ciabatta, Oil, & Balsamic. On our second visit for dinner nothing was complimentary.
Below are the Sweet & Spicy Peppers with soft cheese and adorned with pesto, grana padano, arugula, & oil.
Insalata Nizzarda – A bountiful salad of – Confit Blue Tuna, Seasoned Hard Boiled Egg, Olives, Green Beans, Potatoes, & Salsa Verde Aioli.
Below is one of the three Ligurian Focaccias offered.
The Ligurian Focaccia with mushrooms, asparagus, Italian parsley and squash blossoms that is stuffed with Crescenza Cheese….(This is expensive but amazing……..It’s different and more like a light as air balloon bread)
Casonzei – Veal & Pork filled Pasta with Pancetta, Parmigiana Reggiano, Sage, Brown Butter
North Sea Salmon – Crushed English Peas, Lion’s Mane Mushroom Duxelles, Black Garlic Sauce (This was the best salmon I had in Vegas so far. The meat was sweet moist and silky. Prepared medium and the skin was seasoned and stayed crisp like a potato chip.
The only dish I don’t recommend is the pistachio and chocolate gelato.
We enjoyed the fresh fruit but the pistachio the night we had it tasted weird and not like pistachio. Both of us didn’t care for the chocolate either. The chocolate tastes 1/2 espresso to me and only mildly chocolate.
Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano is With a Fork! If you skip the pistachio and chocolate gelato.
Worth a Fork!

Ginza Izakaya Japanese Restaurant opened this spring in the Centennial (North West) part of Las Vegas Nevada. It’s a small restaurant that is only open for dinner.
If you get seated at a booth it is well lit but if you get seated in the main dining area you need to use your cell phone as a flash light. You can order a la cart or choose the multi course menu.
We started out with the chicken karaage (fried chicken appetizer).
The chicken tastes unseasoned and floury. The dipping mayo on the side doesn’t help much.
The Toro Nigiri – The fish has a melt in your mouth quality like from better sushi restaurants but the rice under the fish is loose and wet……..and falls apart.
The spicy tuna salad is good.
The hamachi Kama (fish collar). is severely over cooked to a point where the meat is dry and stringy. I don’t know how they cooked it but it seemed microwaved to me because I burnt my mouth trying to eat it stayed burning hot.
The shishito pepper skewer is delicious and very good and the same with the shiitake mushroom skewer.
The pork belly skewer is very dry.
The SPECTACULAR BITE was the wagyu skewer …..WOW it really was an amazing bite of delicious flavor and just melted in the mouth like butter. It seemed like it was from a $$$$$ restaurant…not a neighborhood restaurant.
My visit was a mix of hits and misses….so Good Luck!

Shawarma Paradise is a casual Glatt Kosher Mediterranean Restaurant located near to the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer a limited menu of shawarma (beef & chicken), chicken schnitzel, falafel, or vegetable on pita, baguette, laffa, or as an entree plate. Whatever you order you add many different dips, spreads, and vegetables from the bar to enhance your plate. It’s very casual and you order and pay at the counter.
I tried a chicken schnitzel plate.
It’s a massive amount of food that is more than one meal for most people. I got hummus, Israeli salad, pickles, sumac onions, cabbage salad, pickled cauliflower, pickled carrots, rice, tomato sauce, and a hot pita bread. Everything is ok but the chicken is over cooked and very dry today. The hummus is a very good quality but could use a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of cumin.
My husband got the 1/2 beef 1/2 chicken shawarma plate with fries.
It’s all ok but some of the shawarma is very dry and the fries are soggy.
The people working there seemed pleasant and the restaurant seemed very clean.
Quality Thai is a small Thai Restaurant located in the Centennial or North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada. They only have six tables inside so when they get busy you either have to wait for a table or do take out.
The day I was there they only had two people to cook, answer phones, and to serve customers.
We started out by sharing the Vegetable Thai Fresh Rolls.
They are fresh salad that is wrapped in rice paper that you dip in an Asian sort of peanut-ee sauce.
For my main I tried the Garlic Thai Basil Eggplant with Chicken and I picked #6 out of 10 for heat.
The eggplants are sweet and creamy and seem free of oil. The chicken is still moist and it’s in a basil infused sauce that is lightly laced with other flavors. Some crispy shallots were sprinkled on to the dish. For me the #6 is just right for heat for this dish.
My husband tried the Thai Basil with Shrimp that is also known as Pad Kra Pao.
I hear that it was good but my husband will order a #7 for heat next time instead of the #8 he ordered this time.
Las Vegas Brewing Company (according to website…I found different info on net) Has two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. Both Locations are Craft Breweries. The Downtown location offers a more limited food menu. The Centennial Location offers many appetizers, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, desserts and more.
The Centennial Location has a large bar and a dining room with a view of the beer production to the rear of the dining room.
We started out by trying the Beer Battered Mushrooms.
They came with some sort of onion and sherry dip. Gosh they are so light. It’s more like mushrooms that are perfectly cooked with the thinnest lightest oil free coating ever. They don’t even get soggy. They are magically fried more perfect than I ever had in my life.
I tried the seared Tuna Salad. It came with a soy ginger vinaigrette.
It’s good with a nice but light good flavor. I think again that it is good but kinda plain……When I got home I re-read the menu and now I know it was missing cucumber and red radish. Oh well.
My husband enjoyed the Steakhouse Burger (medium-rare) with house made chips.
This burger was cooked medium-rare as requested and was embellished with mushrooms, caramelized onion jam, bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and on the side was a creamy horseradish sauce. He was thrilled with this burger and the really tasty MAGICALLY OIL FREE chips on the side.
Las Vegas Brewing Company (Centennial location) is Worth a Fork!
Skye Thai Restaurant is a sort of Grab & Go Thai Restaurant located in the Centennial Area of Las Vegas Nevada. It’s very casual. You order and pay at the counter. You either take out or you can sit at one of the four tables in the restaurant.
They offer most of your usual Thai Favorites and a few dishes not so common at Thai Restaurants like Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Pho, and Pumpkin/Zucchini with Egg. Soft beverages are offered here. For dessert they offer Coconut Ice Cream with Roti and Banana Fritters. Whatever you order the food is served in to go containers. Also most of the dishes come with your choice of heat from 1-10. For my taste 6 is plenty hot and 4 is mildly hot but my husband likes #8.
So far we tried –
Egg Rolls
Brussels Sprouts Pumpkin Zucchini with Egg Pad Kra Pao
Green Curry with Chicken
Glass Noodle Salad (contains shrimp & pork)
Pad See Eiw (Crispy pork with noodles)
Pla Rad Prik (Crispy Fish in a slightly sweet chili sauce with green beans and crisp basil) Everything was good but this dish was my personal favorite so far.
Skye That Grab & Go is CERTAINLY Worth a try!

Boom Bang Fine Food & Cocktails is an American Brasserie by former Top Chef and Joël Robuchon Chef Elia Aboumrad -Page and Husband, staff and others. If the chef or restaurant sounds familiar to you then perhaps you saw the chef on Food Network’s “24 in 24 Las Chef Standing” That is currently going on at Food Network.
The restaurant is stylish inside. There’s a reflective ceiling, cactus wallpaper adorns the walls. The tables are set with wine glasses and starter plates.
To one side is sort of breakfast counter.
To the other side is a traditional looking bar.
It looked so good when we walked in that we had to try the star bread (marinara, cheese, pesto, rosemary).
It’s a richer, softer, braided type of bread.
We also tried the buffalo cauliflower with C’s Rojo sauce.
Tasty….Not too hot…and Rich Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing on the side.
For my main I tried what they call Steak Fritas with salad or fries (I picked salad).
It’s a good sized portion. Most of the steak is tender….Only a few pieces on the ends I can’t chew. The salad is fresh and has a very good but plain dressing on it.
My husband got the French Dip.
The house made bread is outstanding…….It’s like eating bread in Philadelphia……….The meat is also a generous portion with good flavor that is tender. It also has some delicious caramelized onions……..but it needs a lot of the au jus to be moist. It also comes with horseradish cream, fries, and ketchup.
We also shared the lemon meringue tart.
The lemon curd is amazing but loose. The Italian meringue is good but loose like the filling. The crust is hard and substantial.
