Yonaka Modern Japanese

When I heard that Yonaka serves modern Japanese dishes, I was curious and had to go as soon as I could!  I was impressed at the beginning before I even started eating.  Our waiter was very informative going about the concept of Yonaka's dishes and remembered in detail the dishes he recommended us to try.  Another thing I liked about Yonaka was complimentary dishes we received... It was very nice of the staff!



Midori Salad- greens, 
asparagus,
 snow
 peas,
 asian 
pear,
 avocado,

 and
cucumber 

This was complimentary and had an interesting dressing drizzled over
the fruits.

Sake Orenji- atlantic 
salmon,
 orange
 supreme, 
yuzu 
tobiko, 

lemon
 oil,
 and maldon. 

Hamachi Kama- grilled
 yellowtail
 collar,
 preserved
 lemon,

and pickled 
vegetables

A complimentary dish!  

Fresh uni (sea urchin)...What a lovely presentation!

I forgot the name of this dish, but it was quite unique and flavorful!

Had to of course get some sushi

Dessert- you can tell the flavors by the
fruits...  I was surprised by the blood
orange sherbert.  I think it was the first
time I had tasted this fruit's flavor, it
wasn't as sour as I thought it would be!

At the new Downtown Summerlin  shopping plaza, fantastic shops and restaurants are opening up including a new gelato eatery named  Gelato Messina .  What stands out about this gelato shop is that this is their first US location (they are based in  Australia ) and they make their gelato from scratch using only the finest ingredients.  I guarantee that if you stop by and sample their gelato, your eyes will POP in amazement like mines did!

Herbs & Rye

After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !
