Don Michael’s Restaurant is a small casual Italian Restaurant located in a strip mall in North-West Las Vegas Nevada. It’s not a fancy place. I can tell you that from just one visit that portions are large and prices are low.

They did start us off with garlic toast that I forgot to photo.

We shared an appetizer called portobello mushrooms. I was expecting a few mushrooms stuffed with some cheese and crumbs……..but we received a large bowl of mushrooms with fresh spinach in a very rich mushroomy cheese sauce.

This is a big bowl and can certainly feed far more than two people.

This is very good with the bread. I think it would also be really great on a potato.

For dinner I tried the salmon Da Vinci that is salmon in a sherry dijon sauce with capers, artichokes, and pasta.

Everything is prepared reasonably well. The sauce is tasty and the salmon isn’t overcooked. It’s also a very large portion.

My husband went with one of the specials called chicken saliccia. It was tender chunks of chicken with sausage, bell peppers, onions, olives, rosemary, thyme, wine, and Sunday sauce….topped with a little grated cheese.

He said it was flavored very good!

Don Michael’s Restaurant is a casual neighborhood type restaurant that serves very large portions and is reasonably priced.

Worth a Try!

Siegal’s Bagelmania is possibly the largest Jewish Delicatessen on the West Coast. They are located in Las Vegas Nevada near the convention center that is near to the Las Vegas Strip. They also have a smaller location in the airport in terminal one.

You either dine in or do take out.

This is the take out line below.

The take out line starts around here with Pink Box Doughnuts.

Next is a couple counters that are oozing with pastries, breads, cookies, cakes, and more.

Then you make it to the bagels.

The worker’s T shirts backs read “Challah at me.”

Here’s more bagels and an everything flagel.

Then you go by the shmears.

I skipped a few cases….because somewhere around here is where you order the deli meats , cheese and fish.

Then you hit knishes, latkes, blintzes and noodle kugel oh my!

We took out a few things.

Plain, rye, and everything bagels – These are the BEST bagels that I have tried since I left Pennsylvania.

belly lox (considered the better lox if you can handle the salt…..) (too salty for me)

nova lox – Both lox appear to be hand sliced

pastrami

pickles

GREAT BAGELS and more!

Worth a Fork!

Brera Osteria is a multi-regional Italian restaurant that is an inspiration of the artsy-cool Brera neighborhood in Milan Italy. This restaurant is located in St Mark’s Square in the Grand Canal Shoppes in The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Besides many Italian favorites they also offer authentic Neapolitan pizza. All the seating is on the indoor patio.

They don’t post this menu so it is a secret. You have to ask for the 3 course chef’s tasting lunch menu. There is an additional charge for four of the items on the menu.

We both went for the 3 course lunch menu and everything we tried was at least good.

They start you off with complimentary bread with a little oil and balsamic.

First course was the salad called insalata (wild arugula, fennel, orange, olives, grana, chili vinaigrette).

The other first course was meatballs (beef & pork, San Marzano, mozzarella, and grilled bread).

For my main I got the salmon (Umbrian lentils, fennel puree, leeks, beet aioli). and this alone was worth the $28.00 to me. It was prepared just so and also cooked to my request.

My husband got the beef tenderloin ($18. extra charge) (with grilled romaine hearts, roasted potatoes, chimichurri).

My husband asked me to taste the beef but I was busy with my plate and declined…..Then he said that I must try the potatoes so I tried one. It was sort of garlic-ee but tasted like a special potato. Not a regular potato that you get at the supermarket…A special variety.

For dessert we both went with the bread pudding imbedded with fruit, nuts, chocolate, and was enhanced with gelato, caramel, whipped cream, and berries.

If you want this then you have to ASK for the three course chef’s tasting menu from Brera Osteria at the Venetian at St Mark’s Square. I think that it is a great find! Worth a Fork!

Miznon is a seasonal high quality chain of Israeli Street Food Restaurants by chef Eyal Shani. According to www.Miznon.com they have locations in Israel, United States, France, Austria, Australia, Singapore, Canada, and United Kingdom. We went to the newly opened Las Vegas location. (***I’ve also read that a location just opened recently in Canada) The Las Vegas location is located near the Palazzo casino floor that is in the Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.

This is a very casual food market stall with bar seating. You order and pay at the counter and seat yourself. They call your name as things from your order are ready. At the current time a few tables are scattered across from the stall. This is the spot where Fine Dining Israeli Hasalon Restaurant will be also by chef Eyal Shani.

The signature dish is The Original World Famous Baby Cauliflower. (you can see the Atlantic flake Sea Salt on it)

The cauliflower comes out like this with tahini sauce and a green chili sauce that is called shrug or zhug sauce (many different spellings).

It’s very surprising how great that this very simple cauliflower can taste…..It really is very good and special! It so special that the recipe of this cauliflower is posted at the restaurant.

I couldn’t try everything………so I snapped this picture of the bag of green beans when I saw them come up at the counter (with olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt).

I had to try the plate called “The Best Hummus Plate That You Will Ever Eat with Melting Chickpeas.”

I can sure tell you that it was a very great plate of hummus and also was the most detailed plate of hummus that I have ever tried anywhere. It’s enhanced with melting chickpeas, slices of hard egg, green chili sauce, olive oil, tomato seeds that are like caviar, and tahini. The pita is very fluffy and it’s all really great together.

We were both blown away with both the next two meat dishes. One was the sal de coq (rotisserie chicken, fresh herbs, radish, cucumber, pickles)

The flavors and moisture in the chicken is OFF THE CHARTS GREAT! It must be tasted to be believed. This really blew us away. You can’t really see it in my photo (because I wanted you to see the chicken) but they also gave us this incredibly delicious roasted pepper with it. (lower left corner)

LIGHTNING STRIKES AGAIN!

The pita-less entree called “Bag of Golden Meat” is far more incredible than I can ever describe. The depth of flavors and tenderness was so shocking in a great way.

This is some sort of overnight brisket, grilled onions, and a garlic-ee aioli. Honestly this didn’t even seem like brisket because it was so amazing. I really thought it tasted more like the finest shaved prime rib from a very upscale steakhouse.

Oh and I forgot to mention that the meat portions were extra large so it also is a really great value dining here.

RUN !!!!!! Don’t walk. GO to Miznon as soon as you can because it really was that good and Worth a Fork! (and a Great value too!)
