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

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!

Sparrow & Wolf is a sort of fancy ever-changing Global Menu Type Restaurant in the Las Vegas Chinatown that is very close to the Las Vegas Strip. It’s dark but not too dark inside and also energetic.

We started off by sharing the Oxtail Hummus.

The Hummus came with naan bread and the hummus was embellished with shredded dry oxtail, crispy chickpeas and the tiniest amount of curry oil that was too small an amount to taste. (a miss because the hummus was very average and the oxtail was dry…..naan bread was also gummy)

Next was a Mango Crudo that came with trout, fish roe, and radish.

We also shared the Robiola Agnolotti. (Hit)

It had too much pickled ramp foam and chewy morel mushrooms. The flavors overpowered the robiola cheese. (MISS)

Our dinner was the Tile Fish for two.

This dish was delicious! It was lightly breaded and laced with epazote & santo and came with fava bean salsa verde. (Big HIT)

We also enjoyed the Honey Toast for dessert (Japanese milk bread, candied orange, cream cheese, blood orange sorbet, spiced Grand Marnier)

Hit

Some Hits and some Misses.

Panevino is a large Bar, Fine Dining Italian Restaurant, Italian Deli, and Banquet Restaurant located not far from the Las Vegas Airport in Nevada.

Here’s part of the Deli.

Here’s the bar.

And here is part of the dining room. If you look to the left side in the picture below then you can see this restaurant has a view of the Las Vegas Strip.

It was our first visit to Panevino so the waiter said we get a complimentary balloon bread.

It was different and also tasty.

We also shared the Gorgonzola and Pear Salad. They were kind enough to split the salad on two plates for us.

For my main I tried the grilled Scottish Salmon with Roasted Potatoes and the Seasonal Vegetables.

It’s covered in a lemony parsley sauce. They didn’t ask how I wanted the fish done but to my surprise they prepared it just so to medium.

My husband tried the Trinity Ossobuco.

Everything was prepared just as it should be. It was also a very generous portion.

We tried dessert.

Here’s the Chocolate and Hazelnut Temptation.

The dessert was good but I thought it was odd that they garnished the plate with a frog.

Service was very professional and all the food we tried was reasonably good.

Panevino is certainly Worth a Try!

House Of Dutch Pot is a Caribbean Restaurant located around twenty minutes past the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. If it seems familiar to you then maybe you caught an episode of Guy’s Grocery Games on Food Network

and saw the chef of House Of Dutch Pot or maybe you caught the Diners Drive Inns and Dives also on Food Network and saw House of Dutch Pot?

Anyways –

They have a big screen TV inside and guess what channel it’s on…..Food Network.

Here’s the inside. I do warn you that the tables might be uncomfortably close to each other (they were the day we were there).

We started off with one of their new to the menu appetizers called stir fried vegetable wonton.

They are filled with stir fried vegetables and are tasty. They come with a dipping sauce that tastes similar to hoisin sauce.

For my main I had to try the jerk chicken.

WOW! The chicken is tender like butter and melts in the mouth. It’s infused with all kinds of flavors and some heat. To the side are cooling macaroni and cheese with steamed vegetables.

My husband tried the oxtail.

He said that they were delicious and very good. (I didn’t try because oxtails are too succulent for me and can’t handle the fat in them). his sides were tangy vinegary slaw and rice with peas.

Try House of Dutch Pot if you want a taste of the Caribbean.

Worth a Fork!

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is a casual Hawaiian Restaurant located in North-West Las Vegas Nevada. They offer the usual TONS of food in a styrofoam box. Hawaiian food is usually lots of protein with lots of rice and macaroni salad served to you in a styrofoam box.

I got the fried maui maui platter with brown rice.

The fish is fried nicely and is ok. The tartar sauce not pictured to the side is pretty much just straight mayonnaise. In the corner of the platter is macaroni mixed with extra thick mayonnaise. The brown rice is kinda dry. For some reason they added raw shredded cabbage to this dish.

My poor husband’s plate is worst.

Got dried out fried shrimp, hard crispy fish, and really GROSS extra sweet weird flavored pounded thin chicken thigh with rubbery skin. The taste of the chicken is so strange and so sweet. Neither of us could stomach it and I thought it might make my dogs sick so I didn’t bring it home for them either.

Not the best. Not so good.

La Mojarra Loca is a Mexican Restaurant with at least three locations in Las Vegas. The North/West Location is highly decorated inside with loud Mexican Music filling the air.

This location has bar seating, traditional tables, and booths. The menu here is seafood heavy. They offer Mexican Sushi, Ceviche, Mexican Specialties, and Fish Dinners.

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

We tried margaritas. They seemed sweet and fruity. They didn’t taste strong but built up tp have a good kick to them.

I tried the Filete al mojo de Ajo.

They gave a very generous portion of mild white fish that is in a citrusy, garlicky, buttery sauce with rice, salad garnish, and I substituted vegetables for beans. This was all reasonably good and was LESS than $20. (subject to change). For some people this is two meals.

My husband tried the Molcajete Triol (shrimp, chicken, beef, cactus, avocado, jalapeños, spicy sauce). With rice, beans, tortillas.

It’s an enormous amount of food for any mortal.

The chicken was tender like butter and infused with good flavors. Shrimp were slightly over done. Beef was tasty but a little chewy.

Maybe not perfection but reasonably good, generous portions, and low pricing.

Worth a Try!
