"A chef-driven comfort-food spot helmed by a Top Chef veteran that emphasizes thoughtful recipes; house tarts are a standout (from sweet lemon meringue to savory wild mushroom), the burger features a thick Niman Ranch patty with aged cheddar, and on weekends you may find all-day happy-hour offerings and crisp Connecticut-style thin-crust pizzas." - Rob Kachelriess
"The most energetic spot in Boom Bang Fine Foods & Cocktails is on the patio, which includes an outdoor grill churning out dishes to order. The cheerful patio includes sunshine yellow furniture and umbrellas, along with potted cacti." - Janna Karel
"Running 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, happy hour at this poppy Henderson stunner is gloriously cocktail-heavy (all cocktails are $9). For those not cocktail-inclined, draft beers are $6 and house wines are $7. The happy hour food menu has pizza, a smash burger, fried cauliflower, a hot dog, French fries, and chicken strips. On a nice day, sit under a bright orange umbrella on the patio." - Ryan Slattery
"This restaurant from Top Chef alum Elia Aboumrad-Page, Christian Page, and Tony Angotti serves everything from corndogs to caviar. The menu is a playful mash-up of American diner comforts and French cuisine. Start with the mushroom carpaccio, a celebration of all things fungi, then share plates of sole meunière, spaghetti carbonara, and the 20-hour duck confit." - Janna Karel
