Bacardi Superior and Cruzan pineapple rums, mint, basil, pineapple, lime.
Grand Lux Cafe, Las Vegas NV
This was funky tasting. I don’t know if I like the pineapple-basil-mint combination. It just didn’t work for me, and there was barely any cocktail in this thing. Oh well, never know unless you try!

Salmon, jalapeno, shiso leaf, fresh melted mozzarella, crispy onion. $14
SUSHISAMBA, Las Vegas NV
This was a fun sushi roll with lots of textures. I’ve never had a roll with melted fresh mozzarella before so that was different. It was warm and creamy and the fried onions gave it more flavor and crunch. I think the sauce was sriracha based and spicy. Very good!
Soy sauce.
Cheddar cheese, warm skordalia onion marmalade, lettuce, tomato, pickle, toasted bun, parmesan fries. $16
Todd English’s Olives, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, SO good! The beef patty was super flavorful and juicy, and I loved the onion marmalade. Those thick potato wedges with parmesan cheese were definitely addicting.

A Samba signature cocktail – Svedka clementine vodka, yuzu juice, simple syrup, grenadine, sugared rim, lemon slice. $12
SUSHISAMBA, Las Vegas NV
I liked the flavor of this cocktail and I thought that the chipped ice was fun, but there is WAY too much sugar on that rim! It made the drink way too sweet and difficult to taste anything else. Sweet lady bartender though!
3 or 4 different breads with black and green whole olives and tapenades. Complimentary
Todd English’s Olives, Las Vegas NV
I was impressed that they gave so many breads and olives to just one person. I think I ate all of it since they were SO good, lol! I like salty things and between the whole olives and tapenades, I was in heaven! I wish I would’ve gotten a better pic of the thin cracker/lavash type bread.
These little oysters were delicious and super cheap during happy hour. I couldn’t pass up the deal so I ordered a dozen all for myself. I’d definitely go back for these! Happy hour $1 each
P.J. Clarke’s, Las Vegas NV
Skyy vodka and cranberry juice with a lime wedge. $10
Todd English’s Olives, Las Vegas NV
Ran away from a conference to grab lunch at the Olives bar. I really liked this place. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious!
This clam chowder was very lemony tasting and had a super thin consistency. It was also gritty – I was NOT impressed. $8.85
P.J. Clarke’s, Las Vegas NV
Thin crust pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. The cheese slice has a base price and it’s extra for additional toppings. I love their crust at this place, yummy! $5
Secret Pizza, Las Vegas NV
Point Reyes blue cheese, market pears, roasted onion, and arugula. $13
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
I usually love the pizzas at Starbelly, but I think this one was just ok. It was tasty, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve liked some of the other flavors better. I should have added their house-made bacon or something. That would have made it amazing!
