N9NE STEAKHOUSE, LAS VEGAS

Published by Nicole Isaacs

     I recently dined at N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. It is now one of my new favorite steakhouses. I’ve always heard that it was good, but I was blown away. Mastros Steakhouse has always been my favorite, but I don’t know now….N9NE definitely gave it a good run for its money. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in Vegas, you have to go to N9NE. Check out my reviews on the food below! CRAB CAKE Maryland Blue Crab, Old Bay Seasoning, Avocado Dressing, Celery Root-Apple Slaw  A great crab cake! Loved the avocado dressing with it too, I’ve never had a crab cake with an avocado sauce before which made it unique. LOBSTER BISQUE Maine Lobster, Crème Fraîche, Brandy  This picture doesn’t really make the soup look good lol, but it was a good lobster bisque. It was sweet, and there were nice size chunks of lobster in it. AHI TUNA TARTARE  Avocado, Lime, Chipotle-Chili Oil, Crispy Sesame Crackers  I love tuna tartare as an appetizer because …

BABY BLUES BBQ, LOS ANGELES

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I had the pleasure of trying the new Baby Blues Happy hour menu that just launched. After trying a bunch of items on the happy hour menu, I must say this is one of the best happy hours offered in Los Angeles. It was very unique and different than I thought it was going to be coming from a traditional BBQ restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised, or rather blown away by how amazing everything was. You really get 5-star quality food for a happy hour price. Check out my experience from the beginning to the end! LOOKING AT BABY BLUES NEW HAPPY HOUR MENU DECIDING WHAT TO TRY FROM SO MANY GREAT OPTIONS! DRY RUB POPCORN $3 Seasoned with their “patent pending” dry rub Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks. I’m a salty gal over sweet, and this was the best starter to munch on with a couple of beers before the food came out. The seasoning is their dry rub that they use for their meat, which truly made this popcorn unique- it …

GEOFFREY’S, MALIBU

Published by Nicole Isaacs

I took my mom to Geoffrey’s in Malibu for Mother’s Day. Geoffrey’s is located on a bluff over looking the ocean in Malibu, the views are beautiful and the food is really good. Although they are known for their seafood dishes, they have great steak and meat dishes as well. The food and ambiance are both amazing. It’s great for any special occasion, and also romantic for a good date spot. A little pricey, but worth it. Check out the dishes we ordered! SAUTEED CRAWFISH CAKE Spicy Cajun Remoulade This was so good! Might have been my favorite thing we ordered. I loved the spicy cajun cream sauce. It tasted almost like a crab cake, but it was the sauce that made it. Not sure if this is on the regular menu though, it might just be a special for featured events they have at the restaurant.  LOBSTER & SCALLOP CEVICHE Fresh Maine Lobster, Day Boat Scallops, Mango Habanero Chili Water served with Mini Taco Shells  FILET MIGNON Cheddar Potatoes, Topped With a Blue Cheese …

MINETTA TAVERN, NEW YORK CITY

Published by Nicole Isaacs

MY SISTER AND I HEADING OUT AFTER MINETTA TAVERN I basically just went to Minetta Tavern for their very famous “Black Label” burger. I have heard about this burger through word of mouth and have seen it featured on food shows on the Food & Travel Channel. Since I consider myself the “Burger Queen” lol (burgers are definitely my favorite food), I had to see what the hype was about this famous Black Label burger for $26. I didn’t bother to order anything else, I came there for one reason only lol. Peep my Minetta Tavern burger review below!  BLACK LABEL BURGER $26 Selection of Prime dry-aged beef cuts with caramelized onions & pommes frites   The meat itself was amazing. You could taste the quality in it. It was very juicy and cooked perfectly medium rare. Is it one of my favorite burgers? No. Even though the meat was very good, I think it would have been a way better burger with cheese. I love meat and cheese together and that’s why I love …
