If you’ve ever had a hankerin’ for some ghourmeh sabzi, maust’ khiar, kashk-e-bademjan, and fesenjon, and let’s face it who hasn’t, then you owe it to yourself to get over east Flamingo way, and drop in on the Persian purveyors of primo polo (basmati rice) at Royal Persis.

THE MAD GREEK – Mediocrity In Our Midst
Pita bread that looks (and tastes) like a slightly stale pancake (no pocket or fluffiness allowed). A salad unfettered by a surfeit of feckless feta, garlanded with grotesque, grainy tomatoes, atop loads of stale lettuce and disgusting gyro meat with a cheap vinaigrette plastered atop it — yeah, we at ELV were right at home at lunch today.
SAGE – A Shawn McClain Restaurant
Shawn McClain’s Sage may be the most significant restaurant to open in Las Vegas in the past three years. As good as Twist by Pierre Gagnaire is, it is, in the end, a restaurant that challenges the diner. Sage serves up cuisine that is every bit as hyper-delicious and creative, but with a Midwestern sensibility that makes it more approachable for non-foodies as well as curious and demanding gourmands.
