Answer: We found this place on the web and saw the reviews from local customers - it is a true find in downtown Las Vegas. It is a mere block or two off of Fremont and the kind of neighborhood bistro you'd find in any great city. I had the NY strip and my son ordered the black and blue special (a rib eye with a blue cheese crust). They could probably get away with a little less blue cheese - but that was the only minus for our meal. Our server Marti was fantastic and the assistant servers were equally attentive. My steak was huge and cooked to perfection (medium with a warm red center). The Caesar is a creamy house made dressing and extremely well prepared. Your entree comes with a bountiful side of steamed vegetables and a starch - depending on the entree. The prices are below the other downtown or strip steak places but the atmosphere and food quality is equal to the high end restaurants and you're not paying ala carte for your side dishes. The salad was not included, however. So, in terms of value and food quality this place cannot be beat. Apparently it's a hot ticket at lunch time when the city's movers and shakers eat during the week. I'm not surprised.

Answer: 2 stars is being generous for our lunch experience today. The food was mediocre and the service just plain sucked. My wife arrived before me, ordered hummus, water and our lunches. I arrived a few minutes later and the waitress, Elissia on our ticket, conveniently ignored me and me needing a drink. She never asked how the hummus was, pretty good actually, and she seemed completely disinterested in our dining experience. She brought us our meals with limp, barely warm fries to go with our gyro and chicken schwarma sandwich. Again, I had to ask her for ketchup to go with my fries, isn't that basic server stuff, along with more water. I also had to ask for extra gyro sauce, tzatziki, as it's quite watered down tasting and should be much thicker. Along with that the gyro had maybe 1/2 the meat that one would normally associate with a gyro. We were definitely unimpressed and I asked my wife to remind me the next time I mention going to Khoury's to prompty tell me how much I disliked our first 2 attempts dining at this restaurant. Over priced, mediocre food and garbage service.

Answer:
Went to Joe's on a whim and it payed off! The food was diner fare with a twist on modern. Many have stated before the fontina burger is OMG! Oozing with fontina cheese, mushrooms, red peppers and farm goodness. So get it, you will be grateful to cows. I was eying the people who ordered pizza and almost asked for a slice to try...but alas bad form. Will I go back, sure...the drive is a little daunting but the food is oh so appealing.
