Capazzoli’s Restaurant and Lounge
September 19, 2003
Living in LVNV means you don’t have to get on an airplane to savor the samplings of the Strip’s finest restaurants. But this town is also home to neighborhood haunts that serve four-star food in down home settings with not a tourist in sight (but maybe a big star in the next booth.) For the last 15 years, Capozzoli’s has been baking fresh bread and making some of the best seafood pasta this side of the Coliseum.

How about a California Café called Malibu Chan’s? Both the owners and the executive chef grew up in Honolulu. The food is more Maui than Malibu. And that’s a good thing, because this restaurant has Pacific Rim flavors down pat.

McCormick & Schmick’s
August 01, 2003
In a democracy, the wisdom of the masses rules. McCormick & Schmick’s netted the RJ’s “Best Seafood Award” this year. The kitchen staff must be on a first name basis with their Fed Ex driver because the restaurant flies in 40 different types of seafood daily. I find it amazing that a restaurant in the desert can serve more fresh fish than eateries I remember in my former hometowns: Chicago and New York City. And both of those metropolises have shorelines!
