Fifth Street Gaming<\/a> sounds familiar, that’s because the company operates Downtown Grand.<\/p>\nLev Restaurant Group is also behind Al Solito Posto, another Summerlin juggernaut (located in Tivoli Village), home of a chicken parm that’s the food equivalent of visiting a brothel after winning Megabucks.<\/p>\n
We didn’t bump into Fine or Marinelli during our visit, but we did meet Ivo Angelov, Harlo’s Managing Partner. Angelov won us over with his charm, vast knowledge of hospitality (he’s been in the industry 20 years) and his incredible intuition when it comes to recommending cocktails. Angelov has worked at some of the most acclaimed restaurants in Las Vegas, including Costa Di Mare at Wynn Resort, as well as Michael Mina and Le Cirque at Bellagio.<\/p>\n
We weren’t drinking alcohol during our visit, so Angelov suggested the Marisol, a mocktail. It’s pretty much the best thing we’ve ever had in our mouth other than the time we accidentally ingested a gold bar from that gold ATM that used to be at Golden Nugget. Long story.<\/p>\nThis was so tremendous, we’re only doing mocktails from now on! Also, don’t believe everything you read in photo captions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHere’s the cocktail menu.<\/p>\nIt’s a two-parter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHere’s another part of the drink menu. Harlo has an extensive wine list as well, but we are not a wine person, so you’re on your own.<\/p>\nThe cocktails are fancy but unpretentious, which sort of sums up Harlo as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAngelov also intuited our party might enjoy some caviar, despite the fact we have long-standing gag reflex related to fish eggs. We were really wrong. Which is a first.<\/p>\n
We got the Harlo Caviar Trio, with a Caviar Taco, Caviar Cannoli and Caviar Deviled Egg.<\/p>\nIf Harlo can make fish eggs scrumptious, it can make anything scrumptious.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe only tried the deviled egg with caviar, but it was awesome. This is on the list of “things we never imagined saying.” Thank you, Harlo.<\/p>\nWhat does caviar say when it gets in trouble? “Ruh-roe.” We’ll be here all week.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt didn’t take long to realize we’ll probably run out of adjectives for the food at Harlo. Sorry. We went to a public school.<\/p>\n
Next up was the Summer Corn Ravioli. We’re pretty sure. It was pasta, slathered with truffle.<\/p>\nShout-out to ectomycorrhizal fungi!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe steak was predictably mind-blowing, carved tableside. Ivo Angelov himself jumped in to do the honors. All due respect to “Salt Bae,” Angelov worked his magic and tableside service definitely elevates the experience. All without the salt ever touching his forearm. Which we sort of prefer. Because we are old-fashioned.<\/p>\nWhy can’t every restaurant heat up your steak right before it hits your plate? That needs to be a thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYou don’t need to know what, or who, Western Reserve, Allen Brothers and Flannery Beef are to enjoy Harlo’s meat. Trust us on this one.<\/p>\nIf you’re not salivating, you may be a robot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe were enjoying our meal so much, we accidentally ordered a vegetable, possibly brocoli. Oh, look, here’s something else we never expected to say or write, “The hell? How did they make that so delicious?” We’re thinking witchcraft. Unconfirmed.<\/p>\nIt’s possible Harlo is using mind control to make guests believe vegetables are flavorful. Allegedly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere were also some kind of mushrooms involved, but we didn’t partake. They were well-received by our dining companion.<\/p>\nOh, like you haven’t done mushrooms in Vegas before.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe paused before dessert for another cocktail. The presentation was clever (with the glass accommodating a branch from a log underneath) and there was smoke, which always adds some flair.<\/p>\nThey could call it a “cocktailhouse” rather than a “steakhouse,” but they they’d have to change all the business cards.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDespite having zero room left for dessert, we soldiered on. The sacrifices we make for you.<\/p>\n
First up, the mango souffle, with mango passion fruit compote, topped with vanilla gelato.<\/p>\n“Souffle” is French for “you shouldn’t have filled up on bread.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Harlo Chocolate Dream was unforgettable, with chocolate cake, milk chocolate mousse, chocolate croquant and chocolate caramel ganache.<\/p>\nThis is not sexual. This is not sexual. This is not sexual.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nRemember, we’re just sharing photos here! This is what happens when you break open the chocolate, in a completely consensual context, of course.<\/p>\nAll we’ll say is you’ll leave Harlo satiated. And possibly craving a cigarette. If that’s still a thing after sex.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOur final dessert was a work of art. We’d tell you the name of this dessert, but unlike “foodies,” we aren’t one of those and don’t take a lot of notes. It’s possible this dish is the Lavender Semifreddo, with farmers market stone fruit, whipped ganache, almond olive cake with a burnt honey reduction.<\/p>\nYou have to tap out at some point, but Harlo isn’t going anywhere. You can stop by again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere was not a single disappointment on the Harlo menu, so good luck finding something to complain about.<\/p>\n
Harlo Steakhouse is a little off the beaten path if you tend to stick to The Strip or downtown, but it’s absolutely worth a 15-minute rideshare or taxi for a truly stellar dining experience. Red Rock Resort is 60 seconds away from Harlo, so you can scratch that itch, too, if needed.<\/p>\n
We are so lucky to have so many outstanding steakhouses in Las Vegas. The downside is they can sometimes blur together. Harlo Steakhouse<\/a> is a stand-out, and we trust the positive world-of-mouth will help this understated, but deeply satisfying, restaurant thrive.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We mostly write about tourist things.
