Las Vegas Weekly

A 3-course $10.95 lunch Tue-Thur at this student run restaurant located in Art Institute of Las Vegas in Henderson. The 2nd floor dining room is tastefully decorated and overseen by a pair of experienced chefs. In the past the menu changed weekly, but since our last visit the menu has been expanded and only changes at the beginning of each semester. We both chose the grilled polenta with black and green olives and pimento roasted vegetable coulis which was just plain delicious.

For an entree Ann chose moussaka; a combination of ground lamb, eggplant, marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese and bechamel sauce -- again, delicious. I somewhat hesitantly ordered the cioppino, a fisherman's seafood soup which turned out to be one of the best I have ever tasted. We closed out this feast by both ordering the creme brulee medley -- small servings of both traditional vanilla bean and espresso. The traditional was excellent, but the espresso raised the dessert bar by a full notch. Service was a little sketchy, but very friendly. ($30.86, 4.5 Forks out of 5)
