• Thai • Delano Las Vegas
Booked 165 times today
Before the James Beard Award and the Gourmet Magazine review, Lotus of Siam was a small little hole in the wall located in Commercial Center in Las Vegas. November 1999 was the month Chef Saipin and her husband Bill took over Lotus of Siam. Since then, Thai food became an adventure for those willing to step out of their comfort zones for Asian Cuisine. Chef Saipin’s distinct cooking has been passed down from generation to generation, from both her grandmothers and her husband’s grandmothers. Her northern style cooking has opened America into the “Northern” world of Thailand, away from the Bangkok style of sweet and tang. The northern menu consists of hearty herbs and spices, along with Thai style stews and coconut-less curries. Through her set menus, our guests can dine and enjoy recipes from over 100 years in the Chutima family.

    There are many restaurants in the Las Vegas Valley, but Anthony's Prime Steak & Seafood is among the best we have gone to. Valet parking make it easy to arrive. The room is elegant with tables spaced far apart, and it is suffiently quiet that one can hold a conversation. The menu offers an excellent variety, and nightly specials are available. The food and service are spot on as well. We celebrated our anniversary, and Anthony's made it special.

    We hadn't been to Jayde 16 before. We used to go to Jayde Fusion when it was on the main floor of the M casino. The menu was a different format but thought we would give it a try for my wife's birthday. We were pleasantly surprised. The flavor of everything was top notch. Service was great. For a party of 5, the bill was reasonable. We are definitely coming back when the weather warms up so we can enjoy the outdoor patio on the 16th floor.

    Excellent lunch. Shared the deviled eggs, Brussel sprout Caesar salad, carrots, and brownie dessert. It was plenty for 2, in fact I took some salad and carrots home. Everything was yummy and service was perfect. It was a Monday afternoon and I had made reservations but would not have been necessary. Give Carson Kitchen a try. Be adventurous though. It may not sound good when reading the menu, but trust me, it’s all good!
