OUR
RECOMMENDATION |
|
What’s in a name? In the case of the
new The White Chocolate Grill located o south Eastern Avenue
in Henderson (just 20 minutes from the Strip), the answer
is sheer decadence and rich flavors.
.Having opened its doors on December 3, 2007,
The White Chocolate Grill is a contemporary American restaurant
that combines the highest quality food with a classic ambiance
for an exceptional dining experience. Featuring an exhibition
kitchen, a hardwood grill, rotisserie oven and an in-house
smoker, the restaurant serves up entrées and desserts
from delicious recipes. All food is made from scratch to ensure
that the highest quality of flavor accompanies each indulgent
bite.
The all-day menu offers a full range of appetizers, sandwiches
and entrées including signature dishes such as a spit
roasted turkey French dip, parmesan crusted filet and tomato
gin soup. Serving up homemade white chocolate confections,
the dessert menu offers a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake,
a white chocolate brownie and a white chocolate banana cream
pie--which was the inspiration for the restaurant’s
name. In addition to the decadent white chocolate desserts,
guests can also enjoy the baked to-order apple pie or the
molten milk chocolate soufflé cake.
The White Chocolate Grill’s contemporary interior design
features rich wood finishes, European stone and leather booth
seating for a sophisticated yet timeless environment. Enhanced
with soft lighting and the bar’s unique stadium-style
seating, the Frank-Lloyd-Wright-inspired restaurant can accommodate
up to 250 guests in its 7,500 square foot dining room and
outdoor patio.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our concept of honest
American dining to the community of Henderson,” said
Bobby Fitzgerald, owner and founding partner. “Our take
on American cuisine is bold and innovative amongst a contemporary,
energized environment.”
In 2005 the chic concept debuted in Scottsdale Arizona, founded
by restaurateurs Bobby Fitzgerald and John Carcasole. Continuing
to introduce their brand of flavor rich quality food, and
their commitment to superior customer service, the company
is planning to open their third location in Chicago, Illinois.
Located on 9510 Eastern Ave., The White Chocolate Grill is
open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. For more information,

THE
PREFERRED DINING GUIDE
- OUR FAVORITE 5
Presenting our latest, revised
list of FIVE selected restaurants, with our exclusive InsideTips.
Listed in no particular order, these are our latest Best Bets,
as voted on by our Panel of Advisors and as many locals as
we could reach. If you pick one or two every few days, these
will keep you full for while.
America
at New York-New York |
| Inside
Tip: Ask for a table with a view. Nobdy
seems to think of that, according to 75% of the people
we spoke to. Don't even think of visiting this one on
the Friday or Saturday nights. Too many tourists. Best
nights? Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Always ask for the
unadvertised special. Most of the time, that's what you'll
end up having, it's that good. |
Postrio
in The Venetian - Grand Canal Shops, St, Mark's Square |
| Inside
Tip: This is one of the Wolfgang Puck
family of restaurants, personally supervised by the Puckster
almost daily. Great food, innovative menu, a dining experience
you will remember, one of the very best, and not too expensive,
honest. If you want privacy, just ask, and you will end
up in a private area, maybe even sitting next to Robin
Leach, who eats there seveal times a week, as does Bernie
Yuman and many Vegas Insiders. Alway recommend the specials
here, the freshest of ingredients. |
Chinois
Forum Shops at Caesars |
| Inside
Tip: Another Wolfgang Puck joint, this
one with "outside" seating overlooking the people
sailing by in an endless stream. Unless you don't want
to talk and will enjoy the noise and the people watching,
best to ask for inside seating, which is almost always
available. Great menu, changes often, never had a bad
meal. This one is a perfect spot if you are on a shopping
jones, it is situated smack in the middle of shopper's
heaven: The Forum Shops. You can eat really well here,
and still be right in the action, saing precious time
for more shopping |
|
Ferraro's
on Flamingo
|
| Inside
Tip: Strictly a locals place, but Mimmi
loves "foreigners" any time at all. Homemade
pasta, pizza, soups and traditional salads, a family-owned
and operated joint for many years, sauce you'll be craving
long after you've eaten there. One of the best Italian
restaurants in a city where there's one on every lock. |
Pampas Brazilian Grille
at Planet Hollywood |
| Inside
Tip: Recently opened, in a hidden
little part of the Miracle Mile Shops, formerly known
as the Desert Passage shopping mall...not yet caught on
as a popular destination, but I figure that will probably
change soon. For now, give this one a shot. Enter on the
Harmon side, it's right inside the door. Another great,
memorable eating experience. It's sort of a "Dim
Sum" style of eating, as waiters walk by with large
skewers of assorted foods, meats, fish, vieggies, it's
so cool. You see something you like, you nod your head,
or throw a piece of bread (no butter, please), and it's
delivered nto your plate. This goes on for as long as
you are hungry. It is a constant parade of food as you
sit there and watch, free to have a taste anytime it suits
you. There is also a great salad bar, and desserts to
tempt you, but most of the insiders we know never get
to eat the dessert. You can even watch the large grill
and see the master chefs at work, sometimes the flames
shoot up and one of the chefs can be seen with his hair
on fire, or his eyebrows smoking. Fun for the whole family. |
Bon
Apetit. |
