Honey+Salt=Restaurant Week Day 2

     So for our second restaurant week outing....yes I know I'm a couple weeks behind in posting...be prepared for a marathon posting session...Pat and I went to Honey Salt.  The restaurant has a very homey feeling.  It's a very refined chic place.  The only negative was it was so loud....although this was because it was super busy, which isn't a bad thing, just didn't set the most romantic tone.  Pat and I would actually like to go back once it is cooler, sit outside, and hopefully have a quieter and more romantic dinner.

    The restaurant week menu was a three course meal.  The first course you had a choice of a Caesar salad or a creamless corn soup.  I wanted the soup but unfortunately when we went to order they had just sold the last bowl of soup.  So Pat and I both had the salad.  Pat was less impressed than I was.  I think he didn't like it as much because it wasn't just romaine but a mix of romaine and kale.  I thought it was very good and the kale didn't bother me.  The best part of the salad was a puffed Parmesan crisp.  It was like a puffed sheet of Parmesan.  It was so good. We both thought it was the best part of the salad.

     For the main dish I had the Salmon.  It was cooked perfectly....something I have found to be an issue in Las Vegas...it's like since we aren't near water here we don't know how to cook fish properly.  The salmon was served over a red quinoa with roasted fennel and house-made peppadew chimichurri. It was delicious.  Especially the roasted fennel.  I love roasted fennel.  I'm not a huge raw licorice tasting fennel gal but carmelized it is a completely different story.  Pat had the brick oven chicken breast that came with macaroni and cheese.  he said both were very good.  I tasted his chicken and it was very flavorful and moist...always a plus in a chicken dish.

     Then came dessert.  I ordered the peach pie that was baked in a brown bag.  It was ok.  I as a dessert connoisseur was not impressed.  The peaches were maybe too big.  It was more like a peach crumble with a pie shell.  It was served as in individual pie but it somehow threw off teh balance of the pie.  Pat had a berry crumble.  It was very good and he liked it.  I had a bite and he definately won the dessert round.

       Overall we really liked Honey Salt.  Put them on your list of places to go in Vegas and you won't be disappointed.
