Best Authentic Restaurants in University

Fantastic dinner with outstanding view. We were lucky to have window table.

Breakfast here is always a treat. Besides the food and service being great, the room is very comfortable.

We were almost seated next to the noisy kitchen but the hosted immediately sensed our displeasure and called for a different table. Both were great views of the Bellagio. Roman was our lead server and the server team was very attentive. The steak and chicken were the most tender we’ve ever had of either. The crème brulee is the best we’ve found. I had the peppermint soufflé which was outstanding as well. Zero complaints about the food. However, for $155 a person, bread should have been included. It felt stingy to charge another $8 for that. The portions were meager as well, but you were left wanting more, that’s for sure.

Three of us decided last minute to go on Christmas day for the gaming at The M Resort and decided to try The Raiders Tavern & Grill. They were able to accommodate us within 5 minutes or walking up to the podium. Service was great, efficient, and friendly. Food was hot, flavorful, and relatively inexpensive. The menu was larger than expected for a "sports bar", but this is much more of a restaurant. There are plenty of TVs around, full bar service, fair number of beers to choose from, and the same goes for the wines. Holding a conversation was never an issue even with NFL and NBA games everywhere. Try the Shrimp & Grits; has a nice kick to it. The beer battered Fish & Chips were light and not greasy, and the fries were crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Buffalo Wings were meaty and spicy. Potato Skins were great with a crisp skin, cheese, scallions, and sour cream topping. Tacos were good. We will be back.

Our impromptu decision to dine out on Christmas Eve was a good one. Only having been to Anthony’s for a meeting in a private room, this experience was quite different. From the hostess welcome and prompt seating to the attentive wait staff, we felt warmly welcomed. The well-appointed, very large room was abuzz with celebratory excitement and held the perfect ambiance for our evening. Our server, Derek was amazing! His demeanor was friendly and informative as well as patiently interactive and thoughtful in his responses to our questions. The additional wait staff was swift to respond to our needs at the appropriate moments. We started with a Cabernet, escargot and seafood salad which were delightful. The steaks were prepared as ordered and the sides of creamed spinach and wild mushrooms were perfect compliments to rhe meal. Derek recommended the peanut butter pie which was over the top delicious and an excellent cap to our experience. Before our departure, my husband asked to speak with the manager. When he arrived at our table, we commended Derek for his excellent service and applauded the entire experience. ❤️ We will return with others!
