clicking on this link<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe menus feature what we can only describe as a metric hell-ton of seafood.<\/p>\n
We naturally gravitate toward the carbs on the “Dips and Spreads” menu, which also happens to be the business model for the Chicken Ranch.<\/p>\n
The “Dips and Spreads” menu includes: Tzatziki, Muhammara, Houmous, Coal-Roasted Eggplant & Tomato, Beet-Citrus Tartare, Crushed Fava Bean and Marinated Greek Olives and Herbed Feta.<\/p>\nIt’s what’s on the inside that counts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBeyond the seafood, there’s plenty for meat lovers, too.<\/p>\n
There are lamb chops, Pluma Iberico (Iberian pig), beef tenderloin, ribeye and Beef Kofta, named after the Bohemian novelist whose work was characterized by anxiety and alienation. Probably.<\/p>\n
During our visit (we didn’t dine) Naxos Taverna was packed, and a sign said seating is being limited. A locals casinos, you don’t really get a soft opening, though. Locals want new, and there’s obviously some pent-up demand for seafood you can pay for with players club points.<\/p>\nSetting expectations is key when a restaurant first opens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne of the cooler parts of Naxos is the open kitchen, as the preparation of these dishes is fascinating. There are a variety of ovens and grills, and we trust the chefs love having people scrutinizing their every move.<\/p>\nThe fastest service is always closest to the kitchen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFun fact: In an open kitchen, you can’t have itches on your nose, ever.<\/p>\nWe know next to nothing about Josper Charcoal Ovens, but props for being founded in 1969.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe’re also a big fan of the private dining room at Naxos Taverna. It looked like it has a capacity of about 30 people. It has windows looking into the main dining room and the casino. The ceiling is thatched, just as you would find in Greek buildings before the invention of fire inspectors.<\/p>\nA great room for a special occasion with your fish-loving friends. The room was so inviting, we were nearly tempted to learn what a skorpina is. Nearly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you tend to stick to The Strip or downtown, you might not visit Red Rock Resort, but if you’re up for a 10 minute road trip west, it’s well worth checking out.<\/p>\n
In the same way Circa brings a Strip vibe downtown, Red Rock brings a Strip vibe to the suburbs.<\/p>\n
These new offerings at Red Rock already appear to be a hit, and Station Casinos has found a great partner in Bua Food Group<\/a>. Bua Food Group is the same company behind Lotus of Siam, a collaboration between restaurateur Penny Chutima and hospitality veteran Lou Abin (who was working the room on the evening we visited). “Bua” means “lotus” in Thai. In Spanish, it translates<\/a> as “pimple.” We assume they’re using the Thai word.<\/p>\nKallisto Oyster Bar is open 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n
Naxos Taverna is 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, 4:00 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n
We may not completely get oysters—the food with the texture that’s most similar to phlegm—but more power to the people who love devouring them and if there’s any truth to the legend oysters boost libido, we may just be up for it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
