BRIO Tuscan Grille- Las Vegas,NV

This is our second time going to BRIO and, my parents and grandma all agree that it was much better this time.

My mom had the "Braised Beef and Cauliflower Puree" I had some of her's and it was SUPER yummy! The beef was full of flavor and the cauliflower puree was amazing! There were also carrots and mushrooms which I HATE but with the sauce, the carrots and mushrooms were really good!

This was my dad's dish he had the " Shrimp and Lobster Fettuccine" I also had some of his and it was really good when i asked dad for some he put a piece of lobster in the noodles and it was actually really good the noodles were soft and buttery. 

This was my grandma's dish it was the " Pan Seared Tilapia" There was orzo and different veggies under the fish I tried the orzo and it was like a pasta rice, it tasted like pasta and rice it was super yummy. I didn't try the fish because I don't really like it. But my grandma said it was fantastic!

Overall, the food was amazing and the waiters and waitresses were very nice whenever you see a waiter or waitress they almost always gave you a friendly smile. 

Cracked Egg - Rainbow Blvd., Las Vegas, NV

Everyone loves breakfast, especially when you can get it without having to wake up supper early!  The Cracked Egg is open from 6am to 2pm Monday - Friday and 6am to 3pm on Saturday - Sunday.  The Cracked Egg is locally owned with 5 locations around the the valley.  Here is our experience from our visit!

This is their yummy coffee cake that comes as part of your meal.  It is served warm and amazing!  That with a cup of coffee is a meal in itself!  

 

“The Carnitas”

Seasoned Pork, Grilled Onions, Bell Peppers, Chile Verde Salsa, Cilantro & Jack Cheese topped with Sour Cream.  This meal was amazing, and enough for two meals!  

This meal was on the kids meal.  It was basic meal of scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast.  My youngest is simple when it comes to breakfast so this dish made her happy!  The only complaint that she had was that there wasn't enough bacon!

Chicken Fried Steak, Gravy & Eggs is an all time favorite.  Our family goes to different restaurants and tries out their chicken fried steak.  This meal got the thumbs up from our family!

“*Homemade Corned Beef Hash”

Bell Peppers, Onions and Two Eggs, Choice of Seasoned Potatoes or Hash Browns and Toast or Coffee Cake.  Corned beef hash is another favorite that our family searches for the best in town.  This meal also got the thumbs up from our family.

The atmosphere is nice and simple.  The restaurant was clean and inviting.  The service was great.  If you get there be prepared to wait, but the wait is never very long and the food is worth the wait.

Famous Dave's - Blue Diamond, Las Vegas, NV

Famous Dave's Blue Diamond is a convenient stop for us.  It's close to our home and shopping area.  Here are some of the dishes that we have had.

This is a LiL' Wilbur Meal.  This is the chicken tenders and fries.  The kids love tenders and fries and their special treat of an Oreo cookie.  With all the different BBQ sauces, they still stick with their favorite of ranch dressing dipping sauces.

Dave's Sassy Barbeque Salad - choice of Barbeque Pulled, Grilled, or Crispy Chicken, Texas Beef Brisket or Georgia Chopped Pork. Served on crisp greens with bacon, house-smoked cheddar cheese, tomatoes and shoestring potatoes. Tossed with honey BBQ dressing. Served with a Corn Bread Muffin.  There is enough of a salad here for lunch tomorrow!  I always get two meals out of this salad.

Texas Beef Brisket - Our classic Texas Beef Brisket is rubbed with a blend of Dave's secret spices, coarse black pepper and a hint of brown sugar, then slow-smoked over hickory until it's juicy and tender.  The brisket had good flavor and was very filling.

Over all we had a wonderful meal.  The atmosphere is comforting and the girls like reading the signs  around the restaurant.  The service was okay.  If I had to change one thing about this experience it would be the service.  The service can be really good and then just okay, it's never bad service, but the service needs to be a little more consistent.  Also everyone Monday kids eat for 99cents!!!

DW Bistro - Las Vegas, NV

DW Bistro

Chris and I went with friends to DW Bistro.  We went for brunch and it was amazing!  The decor was modern and bright!  There was a lot of white which made the artwork and lighting stand out!

They have bottomless mimosa for $22.  Your glass is never empty, they are always there to refill your glass! 

They also have other drinks available.  Most people at the party had the bottomless mimosa, but my friend had a Bloody Mary, which she loved! 

Yes that is a pickle and bacon as the garnish!

Chris ordered the biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs.  He really enjoyed it and it was one of the best he had, had in a long time!

I had the special which was Eggs Benedict with avocado and prosciutto.  It was amazing!  The prosciutto's salty flavor was just enough to keep you wanting more with each bite.

This restaurant is a much try!! Make sure you bring a designated driver with you!  The food is amazing!!  We want to try dinner or even lunch and when we do we will post it here!

Yard House - Town Square, Las Vegas, NV

Yard House at Town Square

We went to Yard House for dinner the other night and sat out on the patio.  It was nice to sit in the open air and watch people walk by.  

Mikayla ordered chicken strips and fries.  The chicken was fried and cooked perfectly!  The breading was seasoned well and fried perfectly.  

I ordered the Ahi Crunchy Salad, seared rare, field greens, asian slaw, crispy wontons, and a soy vinaigrette!  Oh and did I mention it was only 600 calories and I had enough for lunch the next day! 

Chris judges a restaurant on how well they can cook a burger!  So he got a burger and fries. He ordered the Classic Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, red onion, garlic aioli, and american cheese.   The burger was cooked perfectly and juicy.  It was seasoned well and tasted yummy!

This was a great meal and we will be back sometime soon!  If you have not been to Yard House, you need to visit the closest to you.  They have a huge menu and many different options!

They have great Happy Hour specials that you should check out!

WuHu Noodles at the Sliverton

WuHu Noodles

WuHu Noodle have been open only a few months.  Chris and I decided to give it a try.

I tried the Japanese Ramen, which I could choose either Shoyu, Miso or Tonkotsu.  Included in the bowl was Japanese BBQ Pork, half a soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, red ginger and mushrooms in a rich broth.  I am always looking for good Ramen on a cold night and this was very good!  

Chris loves fried rice, so when he gets the opportunity to try a different fried rice he will.  He ordered Kimchi Fried Rice, which was made with housemade kimchi and pork belly.  There was just enough spicy to it, and really yummy!

We will be going back to WuHu noodles again!  The prices are competitive and its a relaxing atmosphere.  You can sit in and eat, but you order and pay at the counter and then someone brings your food to the table.

Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano in Disney's Hollywood Studios

It's been a very busy few months, and I now have time to finish up our Disney trip with our final restaurant.  Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano in Disney's Hollywood Studios was a first visit for the whole family.

We decided to visit this restaurant for lunch.

We started with Crispy Calamari, which was topped with grilled peppers and onions, served with dipping sauces.  This was really yummy and perfectly cooked.  

 

Cristyana the pizza princess ordered a pepperoni pizza for her lunch, oh and let's not forget the ranch dressing!  It was her own personal pan pizza.  

Mikayla ordered the Oven-Baked Chicken alla Parmigiana, which was breaded chicken breast with marinara sauce topped with melted mozzarella over spaghetti.  The pasta was cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist and well seasoned.

Chris ordered the Chicken Campanelle, which had wood-grilled chicken over campanelle pasta tossed in a four-cheese sauce with broccoflower, sun-dired tomatoes, with fresh spinach and sweet onions.  The campanelle pasta was well cooked and the chicken was moist and well seasoned.

I ordered the Saltimbocca with pork tenderloin topped with prosciutto, sage, fontina cheese, tuscan mashed potatoes, broccolini and lemon caper sauce.  I have only ever had the chicken saltimbocca, so the pork was a welcome change.  The pork was cooked perfectly and every bite was seasoned well and enjoyable.

Of course no meal is complete without dessert!  We ordered the traditional cannoli, which was made with a creamy cannoli filling with a hint of citrus and dusted with cocoa powder.  Of course it was super yummy!

We ordered the dessert sampler, which had miniature versions of Mama's favorite desserts, Amarettini cheese cake, tiramisu, and cannoli cake.  Each dessert was just enough to try them and they were all wonderful, it was a good thing I didn't have to choose which to have!  We got the best of both worlds!

After trying Mama Melrose, I think we will be making our way back to this restaurant in the future!  This was the last restaurant we visited in DisneyWorld!  Back to Las Vegas!  Look for our posts from Las Vegas, NV!!
