Another Vegas trip, another visit to Bouchon.

The wife and I came to Vegas last week to celebrate our anniversary. We needed somewhere to go for dinner one of the nights and we defaulted to our old standby, Bouchon. I wanted to go somewhere new but couldn't really decide so we just decided to go to Bouchon since that was a safe choice. Boy am I glad we did.

It was a Tuesday night and we had reservations. We were seated immediately in the upper area of the restaurant, (the left side above the lower area by the pool). I don't know if it was just a slow night or they had us up there because it was our anniversary but we had the whole upper area to ourselves. It was very nice. The waiter Daniel came over and started chatting and then the manager came by with 2 glasses of champagne. Nice touch. Daniel was very knowledgable and friendly. I noticed that they were serving a Lamb Sirloin special that night and I love lamb. I asked the manager about it and he described to me and it sounded great. I asked Daniel about it and he said, "I don't know why but they're pan searing it for some reason. I think it's better grilled." I agreed with him and asked if they could grill it instead and he said, "of course."

We started off with the zuchinni blossom appetizer and the wife had a tomato salad that she really enjoyed. The zucchini was incredible salty fried goodness. Certainly not healthy but oh so good.

The lamb sirloin with cippolini onions, fingerling potatoes and escarole was sublime.

The wife had trout almandine. She had a few pin bones but overall liked the dish.

For dessert we had opera cake. The cake was very good but there was some sort of light brown sauce on the plate that for some reason my brain was processing as tasting like garlic. It was a very strange sensation. After I figured out what was giving me that taste I just avoided that sauce.

When we ordered dessert the wife ordered a latte. When Daniel asked what I would like I declined as I don't like coffee. He was surprised and when I explained to him that I just don't like the taste of coffee he said, "I'm going to bring you something." I told him OK but I'm not going to like it. He brought me an espresso martini and it was indeed very good. He was right I actually liked it.

We have been to the Vegas and Napa Bouchon's many times but this dinner was the best experience we've ever had at Bouchon. The food was amazing and Daniel is a fantastic server. He made the experience truly special.

question:
Whenever my boyfriend and I go to Vegas, which is a lot, we love to find great places to eat that are off the strip. Bobby Q was a bit hard to locate from the street. It's in the same building as Spectator's Bar, and it's sign is just underneath Spectator's lighted sign.

Tonight, I wanted to eat at Bobby Q's for dinner mostly because the picture of the shrimp and grits looked so good. It definitely lived up to my expectations. The shrimp had a nice spicy seasoning that went well with the cheesy grits. In order to eat most of the grits, you have to use a spoon or the garlic bread it comes with.

I ordered the fish and tators. The catfish was moist and had a nice crunchy coating. The homemade remoulade was delicious and not too overpowering as some tartar sauces can be. The tators were awesome and much taller than the pictures would lead you to believe. They were filled with silky potatoes, bacon, and cheese and topped with more cheese.

My boyfriend ordered the ribs with Bobby Q sauce a pound of wings with buffalo sauce. The ribs were moist and meaty, and the wings were also tasty.

We washed our food down with sweet tea, and we ended the meal with the strawberry jello cake. We thoroughly enjoyed both.

The owner was quite friendly, talkative, and attentive. I assume that's what's known as southern hospitality.

We will definitely be back on our next Vegas trip, which is at the end of September, and next time, we'll bring friends.

FYI - the menu is slightly different than the one online. The real menu doesn't have the daily specials as listed online, but red beans and rice and ribs are regular menu items.

Good lord, this place was lame on a Saturday. We went around 11:30 a.m. to eat lunch at Moe's Southwest Grill and Which Witch, and afterwards, we wanted to check out the shops. A little after noon, only a handful of shops were open and those were pretty much only the big name shops. Even shops that had signs indicated they should be open, weren't. I don't know anything about retail shopping centers but it seems that Westgate should regulate that. As a result of so many shops being closed, we were bored out of our minds. Our 4 year old probably enjoyed herself the most on the splash pad.

I have been here before for a concert and it gets happening at night around the restaurants. But retail shops, um not so much.
