Estiatorio Milos
The Deal
Dollar Oysters and Liberal Video Poker
February 14th, 2013
The first high-profile Las Vegas opening of the year has taken place with the debut of the Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace. Is there a deal in that? Actually there is. But only for the crowd that normally pays $400 per night for high-end hotel rooms and can now get them at Nobu for as low as $249. Read more »
Best Lunch
Estiatorio Milos
October 11th, 2012
This is our city’s best Greek restaurant—something no one disputes. But it’s also our most expensive one. Live seafood from the Aegean is a luxury, and simply put, not everyone can afford to eat dinner here. Read more »

We asked Vegas Seven’s food critic to line up his best foodie day. While he doesn’t subscribe to the age-old notion that one should have breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper, his fantasy eating trip didn’t end up far from that notion. Read more »
Diner’s Notebook
Fleur finds the sweet spot, Central is grillin’, and Milos makes a mean lamb
July 19th, 2012
Before I get into three interesting dinners I ate recently, just a few notices. First, if you haven’t already heard, Café Heidelberg, a German restaurant and market at 610 E. Sahara Avenue, shuttered earlier this month after a 40-year run. The owner lost her lease. Cafe Heidelberg wasn’t a gourmet restaurant, but it had a large local following. It’s a pity that we don’t always give our colorful ethnic restaurants enough support. Read more »

The Deal
Sea bass, Absinthe and a taste of Peru
June 2nd, 2011
If you’re familiar with the lounge duo Zowie Bowie, you might have a hard time imagining Chris Phillips and Marley Taylor trading Top 40s for the standards. But that’s what they do once a week on Sundays in the Vintage Vegas Show at Green Valley Ranch. Donning tuxes and evening gowns, they perform oldies such as “The Lady Is a Tramp’ and “Bei Mir Bist du Schoen.” Not convinced? There are also 12 to 16 live musicians onstage on any given Sunday, most coming from other shows. Lon Bronson from the Lon Bronson Band sits in, and trumpet-master David Perrico conducts. That by itself is worth the 10-spot cover. Read more »

Eastern Ave., 570-7500), serving high-end Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant belongs to Steve Ramey, who had the highly touted Almaza, and food here is consistently excellent. Read more »

7 Great Meals
From downtown pancakes to a fancy porterhouse feast, our food critic shares his best of 2010
January 6th, 2011
I ate wonderfully this year, so it was tough to narrow down my favorite meals to seven. Each of the ones I’ve chosen (in no particular order) was unforgettable in its own way, and no two were alike. Most of the dishes are available year-round, except for what I ate at Guy Savoy, a fall menu, and at Switch Steak, a special-occasion dinner. Read more »
