JULIAN SERRANO TAPAS - LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

ARIA HOTEL - LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

LAS VEGAS, NV  89109
702-590-8520
HOURS:  Daily 11:30 AM - 11:00 PM

Always enjoy staying at the Aria in Las Vegas.  Love the hotel, casino and variety of restaurants within the hotel.  Julian Serrano is located in the lobby of the Aria and I have enjoyed the food and service here several times.  On this visit we enjoyed a family style dinner where we let the waiter pick most of our small plates.  We told him to fire away and bring some of the restaurants most popular dishes.  We sat back and sampled a wide variety of flavors.  While nothing was really spectacular we did enjoy most everything on the table.  The Black Rice with Calamari and Lobster and Short Ribs were probably my favorites along with the Fresh Calamari.

JULIAN SERRANO - LAS VEGAS

JULIAN SERRANO
ARIA HOTEL
LAS VEGES, NEVADA 

Julian Serrano is a James Beard and Best Chef in America Award winning Chef.  At Aria, Serrano is introducing guests to small plates of his native Spanish fare in a high energy location just off the lobby and Casino of the hotel.  There are dozens of small plates to choose from.  Prices range from $3 to $17.  There are soups, salads, seafood, steak, vegetarian and speciality Paellas.  I trusted the waiter who was gracious and efficient to help me make a few selections.  Started with the tuna-raspberry skewer | ahi tuna | “molecular” raspberry | wasabi | sesame seed  $14.  Four small blocks of Tuna topped with the raspberry.  Simply delicious.  I could only eat three with everything else.  Second course was the octopus | cachelo potatoes | spanish paprika $12.  Six nice slices of octopus laying atop potatoes sprinkled with Spanish Paprika.  This was good.  The octopus was cooked nicely.  Finished the meal with beef and cheese | prime tenderloin | cheese | honey | pecans $17.  This steak was cooked to perfection and perched atop a perfectly cooked piece of buttered and toasted bread.  Excellent dish.  There are so many dishes to choose from here.  Wish I could have fit in a few more.  This is quality food served quickly by professionals who seem to want to do a great job.  Enjoyed my meal here quite a bid and would return in a heart beat.
