The Maple Tree

The Maple Tree
6000 W. Spring Mountain Rd. (near Jones)
Las Vegas NV
(702) 362-5151

Two words. Fried bread. I think that was the best thing to come out of The Maple Tree. The ooey gooey sweet syrup and the warm and chewy bread hit the spot.

The other stuff was pretty alright, too.
1. The New [...]

Butter Cake in Vegas!

Mastro’s Steakhouse
3720 S Las Vegas Blvd
Las Vegas NV 89109
(702) 798-7115

July 1st, 2010 [pre-post excitement]
My food fantasy has happened. Mastro’s is finally here in Vegas and I get to experience the scrumptious warm and buttery dream of a butter cake that they make so well. Of course, I will partake in their fantastic steaks [...]

Joe’s Prime Steak, Seafood and Stone Crab
www.joes.net
3500 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, NV 89109-8949
(702) 792-9222

Just had the most amazing steak experience ever Monday night. Believe it or not, it tops N9NE. It tops Del Frisco’s. Tops Morton’s and even Mastro’s. It tops all my other Joe’s experiences, also. All the [...]

Spago

Spago at Four Seasons
3900 Wailea Alanui
Wailea, Maui, HI 96753
(808) 874-8000

This is the last bit of the Maui food posts. This meal was part of a wedding dinner, so I am not sure how realistic
the food presentations are compared to normal dining fare. The bf insisted that I blog about it because he really [...]

Duo

Duo at Four Seasons
3900 Wailea Alanui
Wailea, Maui, HI 96753
(808) 874-8000

Hanging around the Wailea area, my brother and his wife suggested our last
meal be at Duo for breakfast. Being at the Four Seasons, I actually
had some higher expectations.

1. Veggie frittatas – I found this quite appetizing after all the
greasy food that we were eating [...]

Awfully Good! Awfully Tasty!

The Nugget Diner
233 N Virgina St
Reno NV 89501
(775) 323-0716

Returning to Reno, it’s been approximately 6 years since the last time that I experienced the glory of the awful awful burger at the diner in The Nugget in downtown Reno. So, on our rare trip back, we had to have it, and it was no [...]

Crack FRiiieesssss!

Stripsteak – a Michael Mina Restaurante
Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino
3950 Las Vegas Blvd S
Las Vegas, NV 89119
(702) 632-7414

I have mixed feelings about this place. For a place called Stripsteak, is it supposed to shine for the dishes that were non-Steak? I went shamalamadingdong over the duck fat fries and truffled mac and cheese, [...]

Chewy. Tasty. TOASTY. Chewy.

Dad’s Grilled Cheese
5255 South Decatur Boulevard
Las Vegas NV 89118-4917
(702) 247-6640

Maybe it wasn’t a bright idea to go after the superbowl where I gorged myself with as much pizza as I could possible stuff into my under-achieving stomach, but Brenda and I decided that we’d give a go. How can you turn down grilled cheese [...]

Off to a fatty start!

Waffles Cafe
6446 N Durango Dr
Ste 150
Las Vegas NV 89148
(702) 727-3267

This cute little cafe would fall under the category of great neighborhood eats. It’s small, cute decor, in an unknown strip mall and not run by some corporate giant. Behold, Waffles Cafe, where everything is made with waffles! You can have waffle sandwiches, [...]

BB King's got the blues

BB King’s Blues Club
The Mirage
3400 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV 89109

BB King’s got the blues on food, that is. Walking in, It had the potential of being a really nice hangout – bar/restaurant/lounge feel. Also after grazing the menu, I was expecting good ol’ deep fried southern food good. Usually, you [...]
