Pardo those were my exact two complaints. Service was a weird mix of absent and arrogant, and our pastas were really over salted and I’m not sure I’ve ever made that complaint.

Yeah I mean I’ve heard people say they’ve had GREAT service so I guess I just got unlucky twice maybe? I’ve def heard it’s hit and miss.

On the pasta, especially the short rib one - like just too much salt and like you, I can’t recall a time I was ever like damn this pasta is too salty - usually the opposite - I mean overall the food is really good but feel it has the chance to be amazing if it could just tighten up a bit

Went to La Fontaine for brunch to use my 250 food credit. For anyone that is tier matching you have to use it all at once (we didn’t know until bill came and kitchen closed). Service was probably too chummy and relaxed for my liking but guy was very nice. Not my ideal atmosphere either, think a French menu owned by non French people in California. Apps were fantastic, my wife got a Mediterranean tomato salad and their take on deviled eggs was great. Main course we split steak frites and burger, steak was very good burger was very forgettable for 38 bucks. Bill came out to $170 before tip with a mimosa for each. Will probably never come back considering Bouchon has one of the great brunches in America and Bobby Flays new French restaurant at Caesar’s was much better than I expected (also haven’t been in ages but brasserie b at aria is much better).

I’m a sucker for steakhouse burgers so I will check out Dons prime at some point but all of the Fountainbleu restaurants leave me feeling a similar way, good nowhere near great and overpriced.

Hearing Lugers is the spot for that. Haven’t been to this one yet though…

Highly recommend both Lugers Burger and steak sandwich lunch specials.

It totally is, my wife and I have probably been ten times in a few months to get the burger. Weird thing with that burger, it looks so unimpressive but is great every time.

Yukon pizza did a collab night with Toddy Shop. Butter chicken pizza and sandwich. Both epic, curry pizza needs to be a bigger thing. Here is the pizza, forgot the sandwich pic.

Toca update - still great.

Secret toca hack - order the hamachi (which you need anyway because it’s incredible), use the leftover ponzu sauce for the salmon. Salmon entree is $38, it’s only $16 as an add on for the Caesar. Same size piece of salmon on both.

Easily the worst Toca pics you've shared. I still might go.

My point was that your pics from previous visits were fantastic.

But if you want to get into it, what's going on in the steak pic?

You do realize I'm criticizing the food and not your pics, right?

I’m not sure what you mean about the steak. That **** was 10/10 good

Yukon Pizza is a real find. I can walk there lol.

Their specialty pizzas are always damn good, and they actually have the best slices in town.

They have decent wings and real good smash burger, as well.

Looks damn fine... I am dying to try Mr. Moto's pizza on Blue Diamond and Buffalo, close to my pad.

If you’re at Blue Diamond and Buffalo, I recommend Old School Pizzeria and their monster slices, I much prefer them to their whole pies.

Tried Lucky Cat today, was quite good, but I think I prefer Soul Belly still for best BBQ.




Sandwich has pulled pork, brisket, and Asian slaw. The other plate is beef short rib. Very good, sides were just meh (macaroni and cheese. Mac salad, and Furikake rice)

Yukon is great and this is coming from a NJ-turned-LV guy. Bit more of a chew than my absolutely ideal slice but wow this is good pizza. Thx for posting this guys. I dedicate my impending weight gain and premature death to you.

I had a cheese and a pepperoni, NY slices. The special was buff chx and I wasn’t feeling it, and there was no square pie tonight.

The burger at Yukon is one of the best in Vegas. They did a BBQ bacon burger as a special once and it was just incredibly good. I keep telling them to bring it back. The owners said they are working on a burger concept as a separate restaurant. Yes please!

Yukon pizza is great but if you’re going in looking for NY style pizza you’re going to be disappointed. The natural sourdough makes for a great dough, I even really enjoyed the crush.

The burger I had was too oily and kind of disappointed. It had potential but seemed to be an off day for them, I’m sure it’s normally much better.

Their burger, fries, and homemade ranch are fantastic. Haven’t had anything else on menu but I should at some point.
