During the first 2 month's of our stay, I have been blessed with Jose Luis' great cooking almost nightly, since I work 2P-9PM, he picks me up from work and we have a late dinner together. Always fantastic. The days that he works he goes in at 6AM and finishes at 1230PM or 1PM, so that works out for us for now.
In between we have been discovering some of the local ethnic restaurants as well as checking out what an Elements (our past venture) might do here and if there are any comparables.
Have discovered Nora's Wine Bar, with dozens of wines by the glass, served via a Enotique system. Large bar, 55 seats in dining room, very upscalish but comfortable. Prices not cheap, portions ok. We order some appetizers, but watch the other diner's dishes and comments....mmmm....people are still willing to spend some money going out, but value is important, but so is atmosphere, martinis are still in as well as wine galore.
It looks like the $70 steak, with nothing else accompanying it has gone the way of the DoDo bird, and the ubiquitous barfood like poppers and fried onion rings are not high on anybody's list.
We find that places like PF Chang's have not only reasonable food prices, decent food- consistent, good service-not great but attentive, and they are busy Monday-Sunday. So are places like Olive Garden, BJ's Brewerey (Las Vegas likes it beers, especially unique ones).
