The in laws had eaten here a couple of times and recommended it so we met them there for dinner.
First, the service was very good, this is a husband and wife owned place, wife cooking, husband waiting the tables. It looked like a couple of others in the kitchen as well.
Mushroom soup, excellent, not the best i've had, but right up there and certainly one of the best in town.
Lengua Salpicao, the meat was tender, the sauce to die for, actually, put that sauce on a short rib and you will have people driving from all over town to try it.
Albondigas, a good version of a classic dish, the meatballs are very lite, the sauce a little on the sweet side which I like for this dish.
Slow Braised Beef Cheek, exactly what you would expect from beef cheek, it melts in your mouth, the sauce is fantastic.
Scallops with squid ink risotto, the scallops were perfectly cooked, the risotto, perfectly cooked, but it needed something. The dish itself the white scallops on the black risotto looks beautiful, but it really didn't had anything to the dish, but I am struggling to think of something to replace it, so with that said, if you like black ink risotto, try here.
Sea bass. The real star of the night, this is a dish worth driving across town at rush hour for,again, the sauce makes the dish, subtle tastes and pairs perfectly with the jasmine rice.
Spaghetti Carbonara. This is an off menu special that may find it's way on to the menu. I am not a fan of carbonara, it does nothing for me, but my wife is a fanatic and she has no issues with letting a restaurant know when it is not a good version. This is a very good version.
Realistically, we ordered way to much food for four people, but what was left came home.
Overall, a great meal, this is not a cheap neighborhood bar so prices are a little higher than your typical neighborhood place, but, to be clear, they are also clearly not using Sysco or US foods here, the ingredients are very good, the people in the kitchen know how to cook and the service is excellent.
Now Vegas, give it a try, you will not be sorry.
