About the restaurant

This casual Vietnamese-American restaurant is reenergizing its diners with chef and co-owner Jamie Tran’s Top Chef appearance in the latest season. Since the restaurant joined the neighborhood, Tran’s Vietnamese cuisine prepared with French techniques has gained critical acclaim — namely, Eater’s Restaurant and Chef of the Year in 2017. Artfully plated dishes come in the form of herb chicken with yellow curry couscous, hot chicken on honey toast, and slow-braised short rib with kimchi fried rice. The name, Black Sheep, is a nod to Jamie’s rebellious personality and desire to break through a male-dominated industry.

Appetizers were good and steak was very salty with the sauce

About the restaurant

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is raising the bar with his newest restaurant Amalfi, which opened in a 9,000-square-foot space in Caesars Palace this May. As the name hints, the Mediterranean restaurant focuses on Southern Italian fare inspired by Flay’s travels to none other than the Amalfi Coast. The impressive seafood display is attended to by a fishmonger with fish flown in from the Mediterranean Sea. Handmade pasta such as paccheri and agnolotti sit alongside fresh antipasti, and entrées include market-driven fish and shellfish served with your choice of lemon and capers, Calabrian chile pesto, or salsa verde. Over in the lounge and bar, diners sip away on an Amalfi spritz, negroni, or a glass of Italian wine.

About the restaurant

Executive chef German Castellanos and pastry chef Alessandro Stoppa — who first met at Valentino restaurant and then started a catering business together — teamed up again to open Aromi this April. At their latest venture, they tap into Castellanos’s more than 30 years of experience in Italian kitchens in dishes such as spaghetti neri (squid ink spaghetti with lobster, scallops, and creamy bisque sauce) and wild mushroom ravioli with short ribs and demi-glace. Dessert features a classic tiramisu, white chocolate and yogurt panna cotta, and carrot cake verrine. It’s clear in every aspect of this hot spot — from the house-made pasta and fresh seafood and steak to the traditional desserts — that Aromi’s goal is to bring a piece of Italy to the desert.

Cheerfully greeted as we entered the restaurant and were seated promptly. Rachel, our server, explained the specials clearly and also a few menu items we had an interest in. Everything flowed beautifully and our food was tastefully prepared. Definitely a Winner!
