A: Wow what a wonderful dining experience. Started at the bar while we waited for our reservation as we arrived early as planned. We both went for white wines and both were very good- both recommended by our bartender Alex. We had the Piadina app, great flavor and went well w/both wine selections. Flat bread with basil pesto/fresh basil/kalamata olives/tomatoes and feta. Alex was great and knew the menu well. Very attentive while not being hovering. The bar area is small but cozy. Menu is extensive. Complimentary Focaccia is offered at the bar w/olive oil and balsamic as well as at the dining table. At the table we started with the seafood salad. We wanted to try a little of everything. Great salad and could be a dinner size salad. We took half of it home since we were having a full meal. Very good. INSALATA DI MARE - Shaved romaine hearts, calamari, jumbo shrimp, octopus, orange slices, grilled zucchini pappardelle, red onions & tomatoes, tossed with citrus olive oil dressing. Entrees below were both very, very good. RISOTTO MARE E TERRA - Italian Arborio with onions, wild mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, scallops & large shrimp in a creamy vodka tomato sauce. POLLO CANNARELLA - Chicken Piccata with black & green olives in a lemon 18 caper sauce and white wine. Served with aglio e olio fettuccine & mushrooms. (I substituted veal for $4 extra) The risotto was perfect and packed with flavor. A little rich but one would expect that w/a cream sauce. Enough for 2 meals. The veal was thin and cooked perfectly. While I am not huge fan of capers, they were melded into the dish without coming across as the main flavor. The combo of the lemon sauce and veal was a great recommendation from Alex. You can sub side items. The veal saltimbocca comes with grilled polenta and the chix picatta has fettucine. You can have either side. I took Alex's recommendation and had the Cannarella above but subbed veal. Fettucine was perfect al dente. We finished w/the creme brulee and honestly, the best I have ever had and I've had a few. The restaurant was packed by the time we sat down but we were able to pick our table or booth out of about 5 avl. All staff were making sure no one was wanting for anything while again not being hovering or asking every 5 minutes if all was OK. Our server was very efficient, did not bring everything at once (my pet peeve) and was avl when needed. All in all for our Valentine's day out, this dining experience was about perfect. They also accepted a reservation for 2. I had called about for a reservation and 3 restaurants in a row were keeping their Friday policy of no res for l/t a group of 4. Really I believe V-day is meant for 2 people or groups of teens. Oh well, their loss and our gain. One of the owners Juan was about and avl and also spoke of their history, per our request, and like Alex was available but not intrusive. Very nice man I must say. The other owner is the chef but we neglected to ask his name. I know both men have a history of managing and cooking in Italian restaurants. Tutto Pasta I believe for one. We love supporting family businesses. One post here on Yelp stated they did not like the fact that a little boy was running around making noise. We saw the little guy and he was well behaved and remained near the kitchen. We really enjoyed all and will go back for sure. Need the menu? http://www.nonnosristoranteitaliano.com/dinner-menu.html

Q: negative

A: I ordered from here via eat 24. It seems as they're using a 3rd party delivery service, I have never had someone knock on my door and ring so obnoxiously ever before. Anyways, the food was mediocre at best. And I ordered a coffee with my food which never came, so I called the restaurant and they said they would deliver it now and apologized. An hour later I still have no coffee and they are about to close. So I contacted the app I ordered through and since I paid with cash I couldn't get a refund unless the restaurant decided to grace me with their presence. I won't be ordering with this restaurant again. Update: I received my coffee, I ordered a frozen white mocha, they brought me a frozen caramel coffee, and the caramel tasted burnt. Bravo, beach cafe.

A: I read an article about The Parlour somewhere (LV Weekly? seven magazine? The R-J?) which basically said the place was great: true old-school Vegas (because it's old) with bartenders hired for their knowledge of classic cocktails rather than their large breasts. Well, that made it sound pretty awesome, so I added it to my bookmark list, and, amazingly enough, made it over there within a month! I'm here to report that it's true. The Parlour is awesome. The drinks were excellent and CHEAP ($9 for 2 martinis during happy hour, which runs from 4-7 every day, I think). The atmosphere is great - it has all the cool old-ness of the El Cortez without the actual old-ness. On top of that, we went on a Wednesday and there was a sweet guitar guy playing and singing. Plus one star for taking requests for both Bob Seger and the Gin Blossoms. FYI, the place is not large. I bet it has seating for ~25 on couches and armchairs around cocktail tables and maybe 10 more at the bar.

Stay away. This place serves you 12 ounces of beer and charges you for 16 oz...
