Naxos Taverna + Kallisto Oyster Bar is a contemporary Greek Style Seafood Focused Restaurant located in the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. They were offering a three course Restaurant Week (June 2-20th 2025 But manager told us this offer was extended again to June 22 2025……(?) …….(I have not found that info posted anywhere…?) Lunch for $40. so we decided to give it a try. It’s beautiful inside.

I started out and asked for Iced Tea.

It came out warm with no ice. I asked for ice.

My husband’s first course was oysters (east coast & west coast).

He said he liked the west coast oysters more than the east coast oysters because they had a brinier stronger flavor.

I tried a Greek Salad.

YIKES! The pickled shallot is so strong I can’t eat it. I really only like the raw tomatoes because they tastes like good heirloom tomatoes. The feta cheese is too salty for me and it tastes like they added extra salt to the cheese. The cucumbers are ok but taste old.

My husband tried the Seafood Linguini ($10. extra)

He said it was made with one extra hard over cooked shrimp (cut in pieces), over cooked clams, and he thinks it was missing the crab.

I tried the Lavraki (Greek Sea Bass).

The fish is cooked nicely but is way too salty for my taste. The tiny tomatoes help some.

For dessert we shared the Froyo and the Date Spice Cake.

Not much flavor in the Froyo and the cake was very dry with little flavor.

That was my trip to-

Zaytinya is a Mediterranean Restaurant by Chef José Andrés. The Las Vegas Location is in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. They offer a main menu and a chef’s experience menu. On the night of my visit it was still Restaurant Week and a special Restaurant Week Menu (June 2-20th 2025) was also being offered. (Zaytinya translates to Olive Oil in Greek).

It’s modern and attractive inside. Below is the bar area.

Below pictured is part of the Dining Area-

Whatever you order they start you off with pita breads and oil embellished with balsamic.

The pitas are hallow and are more like balloon bread.

We started out with hummus, crisp vegetables (an added extra plate), and stuffed grape leaves called dolmades.

We both really enjoyed the crisp vegetables, and the amazing grape leaves. The grape leaves might have been the best I’ve tasted anywhere. I like the flavors in the hummus but not so much the texture because here it is very thick.

Next was a beet salad and Brussels sprouts.

The salad was good. The Brussels sprout had good flavors but the actual Brussels sprouts were served all dried out.

For my husbands main he had the Cumin Spiced Meatballs. He said they were really different but good.

I tried the salmon.

It was 2/3rds very good and 1/3rd awful……See next picture.

It’s hard for you to tell but this is a very small, very flat piece of fish and it is 1/3 bloodline (The dark meat pictured) Usually in nicer restaurants they remove the bloodline because it taste like bad fish.

Last course was dessert.

We both received Olive Oil Cakes that were very good.

We also received Greek Yogurts with Cherry that were interesting and different. We received the Greek Yogurts as a bonus plate because my husband complained about them sending all the plates of food to the table at once.

Zaytinya – Mostly Good but not perfect.

WSKY Bar & Grill is an American 24/7 Gaming Bar & Restaurant with 4 locations in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also offer daily specials, happy hour and reverse happy hour. They offer a mix of different seating options. Bar seating, high tops, booth seating traditional tables, and another dining room.

Big screen TVs are all around.

I tried The Asian Crunch Salad.

It’s suppose to contain – crispy or grilled chicken, cabbage, romaine, sweet chili cucumbers, crunchy ramen noodles, mandarine oranges, roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, cilantro, and sweet sesame dressing. To me the salad was OK but might have been better if it contained the missing peanuts, green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Without those things the dressing also ran slightly too sweet but might have tasted better with the missing items.

My husband enjoyed the Italian Grinder ( salami, ham, spicy capicola, provolone, lettuce, onion, banana pepper, garlic & red wine aioli, on a hoagie roll served hot or cold)

That was my lunch trip to WSKY Bar & Grill. Not Perfect but reasonably good.

Went back to try restaurant week dinner since it only was 3 courses for $30. (Restaurant Week has been extended to June 20th for this restaurant They were also offering a $20. three course lunch)

We started out with Buffalo Chicken Fries and Cheese Steak Fries.

Buffalo Chicken Fries

Cheese Steak Fries

Both were enormous plates of food and both were tasty. (We had enough leftovers here alone for MORE than another lunch)

My main was the salmon.

I wasn’t expecting high quality here but still it does taste like frozen fish from the supermarket. Smashed potatoes are good, Broccolini was over cooked and turned to mush.

Ribeye is very thin and cooked all the way and served with smashed potatoes and over cooked broccolini that turns to mush. Ribeye was edible but was more like something a neighbor or relative cooked than a going out to eat meal.

A brownie a la mode and cinnamon churros came for dessert.

It’s best to just stick with the casual food here.

The Ridge Bar & Grill is a Bar, Gaming, and 24/7 Restaurant located in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada. Inside is a big bar with big screen TVs.

Around the bar are many half booths.

We came to try the Restaurant Week $20. 3 Course Lunch.

We got way more food than we could eat and brought almost half of it home.

Deviled Eggs

Pretzel Bites with Cheese Sauce and Ridge Mustard

This seems like a double portion of fish and chips to me. It’s all good but the cole slaw might be the best I’ve tasted anywhere. Fresh made and crisp but it was the special vinegar that makes it pop….

My husband said that the smash burger was very good too.

One order of the churros got wrapped for latter. They came with a berry sauce and a caramel sauce.

Darn Good and Plentiful – Sure Worth Trying!

The $20 Restaurant Week got extended to June 20th but these dishes are all on their regular menu.

OhLaLa is a French Bistro and Bar in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada. They are offering three course lunches and also three course dinners for Restaurant Week. They have bar seating and traditional table seating.

It’s up to you on what you want to select –

Whatever you order they start you off with bread and butter.

The warm goat cheese with pistachios and onion jam is so scrumptious that it is impossible to resist.

It’s also a very generous portion and after both of us enjoying about three pieces of bread with it we enjoy taking the rest home for latter.

The French Onion soup is also unusually delicious.

It’s not the common beef broth…Here it is a well made REAL onion soup.

For dinner we had-

Sole with fingerling potatoes and a brown butter caper sauce

Flank Steak with fries and a red wine shallot sauce.

Desserts were –

lemon tart

Chocolate Liegois Ice cream (We should have just ate the ice cream and brought the tart home because this was all too generous of portion size for us)

OhLaLa French Bistro is always Worth a Fork!

Peter Luger Steakhouse offers USDA Prime Burgers, Steaks, and Dry Aged Steaks so when they are offering a Lunch Restaurant Week Menu for $40. Per Person it is certainly worth a try.

They have a nice large bar and multiple dining areas around the bar.

Bar area

One of the dining areas.

They started us off with delicious fresh baked breads, butter, and Peter Luger Steak Sauce.

My first course was a nicely made Caesar Salad.

My husband went with the sizzling bacon.

My main was a medium ground in house burger. 30%dry aged beef mixed with chuck with extra great fluffy fries.

Even half is a very generous portion.

My husband had his with cheese and it was prepared a perfect medium/rare.

Then we had sundaes with house made cream embellished with a Peter Luger Chocolate Cow, a cherry, some walnuts, and quality chocolate sauce.

Then chocolate coins with the bill.

Worth a Fork!

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.

That was my trip to My Garage Kitchen.

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)

Gnocchi – Semolina dumplings, Pork Sausage Ragu, Onions, Spicy Tomato Passata, and Cheese

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.
