Some chefs will not be denied…no matter how strenuously you protest you don’t have time for dinner.
Restaurant Week is in full swing right now, and we at ELV are pretty sure this is the best deal in town:

Chef Bruno Riou and his crew are pulling out the stops at miX, serving stunning, technically precise food, at a third off the regular price, in one of the most gorgeous restaurants on earth.

Chef Carlos Buscaglia roasts this super-fresh piece of Mediterranean sea bass in one of his “two ovens” at Due Forni (Doo-A FOR-nee), serves it atop a nice arugula salad, and accents the fish with a caper-studded, garlic-infused, lemon-light emulsion.
It is meaty and rich, as only a good piece of sea bass can be, and one of the few pieces of fish ELV looks forward to eating off the Strip.
It only costs $26 and is worth every penny.
As Danny Aykroyd would say: “That’s good bass!”
