Ocean One Bar & Grill – Great Value CHEAP Food on Las Vegas NV Strip***UPDATE CLOSED AND EXPECTED TO RELOCATE

****UPDATE CLOSED AND EXPECTED TO RELOCATE****Ocean One Bar & Grill is a full service restaurant and bar located in the Miracle Mile Shops on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. They offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks at rock bottom astonishingly low prices and are better and cheaper than fast food. Breakfast starts at $5.99 and the whole lunch menu is only $5.99 EACH! Dinner isn’t much more. And drinks….

I tried a glass of wine and GOT THREE of these for $12. It’s not the finest wine but it’s drinkable.

This is even filled more than most places would fill

They have a patio that wraps around the restaurant, lots of inside and bar seating.

One day we tried breakfast. My husband went with the $8.99 Spanish Omelette with added on sausage $2.50.

He was happy with it.

I tried the $9.99 smoked salmon platter.

The smoked salmon platter is very large. I think that it is nice that it comes with fresh fruit. The salmon is good, it comes with a slice of Philadelphia cream cheese, capers, red onion mixed greens and a toasted west coast style bagel.

We have tried a lunch here.

We tried the wings on the lunch menu….I wasn’t expecting this much food or it to be as good as it was.

Wings $5.99

I also had a $5.99 Salad.

Not bad for $5.99….Sometimes I get $14. salads that aren’t as good.

My husband got a HOUSE MADE pasta dish for $5.99.

Not bad for $5.99……….

Tried dinner here.

I got the Wild Island Salmon Salad $11.99. It’s made of greens, marinated onions, pistachios, supreme oranges, and house made mango vinaigrette.

I am very surprised on how well they prepared the salmon. It’s as moist as a fully cooked salmon can be. Even the oranges are very fresh tasting like they were just picked. It’s a great salad for only $11.99. A lot of salmon salads are very expensive these days. They often run twenty dollars and up these days. I was somewhere and I remember seeing a salmon salad for $30.

My husband tried the 1/2 pound burger and asked for it to be medium rare $6.99. He added on extra cheese ($1.00 + sautéed onions .50 cents) With the burger you have a choice of fries or rice and beans.

The burger DID COME OUT MEDIUM/RARE! They don’t use the best buns but the actual burger came out very flavorful and juicy.

I haven’t tried dessert yet here but they do look delicious!

Superfrico Restaurant – Cosmopolitan Las Vegas NV – Just Weird

Superfrico calls themselves an Italian American psychedelic restaurant and bar that is located in the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. I’ve read very good reviews for the food and that it is almost like a show with dinner………So I thought why not?

We entered.

entrance

It’s a little dark inside. It is moderately loud with a disk jockey playing records. Some colorful lights are all over. There is a person walking around with a full length penguin mask……….slightly weird.

We ordered the hamachi crudo to start with….

The first piece of fish that I tasted I had to spit out because it had a strong fish taste that it shouldn’t have. This got sent back.

We got a Sicilian salad instead.

Sicilian Salad

This salad was light and fresh tasting. It contained fennel, onion, citrus, candied pine nuts, olive gremolata, and fennel vinaigrette.

During dinner we see a few characters waltz threw the restaurant.

My main was the eggplant parmesan rollatini.

Eggplant parmesan rollatini

It’s very small…..but it’s almost very good! I three thin small rolled eggplant slices stuffed with a fresh good quality ricotta cheese that is on top of acidic tomato sauce and topped with parmesan, parmesan fricos, and crisp basil.

We also shared a side order of mushrooms.

Side of roasted mushrooms

The mushrooms sounded interesting because they were made with sherry vinegar, shoyu, cured and smoked yolks. These were pretty good with a nice rich flavors.

My husband had the beef cheek rigatoni.

beef cheek rigatoni

It was slightly disappointing because the pasta was over cooked. Beef cheeks usually have a great tenderness to them and an extra good beef flavor but the beef here could pass (taste wise) like pot roast. Also the mushrooms weren’t nearly as flavorful as from the side order of roasted mushrooms.

Superfrico they say that they are an American Italian Psychedelic Restaurant…..

I thought it just was WEIRD.
