2 Best Restaurants in North Strip, Las Vegas

The rare Greek restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip certainly doesn't disappoint, although you'll pay exceedingly well for the experience. Chef Costas Spiliadis flies in fresh fish from the Mediterranean; you pick out the piece of fish at market price and select how you'd like it prepared. Starters such as Greek bottarga are a nice complement to the main courses. Also worth sampling: the Milos Special, lightly fried zucchini with eggplant, tzatziki, and saganaki cheese. And the aesthetic experience matches the cuisine, the architecture echoing ancient Greece with stone, wood, and marble. The Greek gods would approve.

This intimate, casual restaurant focuses on wine and Mediterranean-inspired small plates such as sweet and salty bacon-wrapped dates with blue-cheese fondue, and beef carpaccio with mushrooms and truffle aioli. The  wine list reflects global selections, with an emphasis on Europe. The menu groups the offerings by provenance and preparation: From the Sea, Farm, Oven, Garden, Grill, Butcher, and so forth. A fiery chorizo, andouille, and pepperoncini flatbread is ideal for sharing, and vegetable dishes, including a beet and burrata salad with arugula, satisfy those with dietary restrictions. There also are charcuterie and cheese selections, and a number of vegan dishes. During the butler-style, all-you-can-eat brunch from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm on weekends, expect the likes of a snickers pancake, short rib hash, and filet mignon eggs Benedict.
