Dirty Martini Salad

Diner Ross Dirty Martini Salad

🥬 🍸 🫒 Dirty Martini Salad 🫒 🍸 🥬

The annual 2024 Eater Las Vegas Awards celebrate the city’s top culinary achievements from the past year, spotlighting standout restaurants, late-night hang-outs, and bars that have made an impact on the local dining scene.

Diner Ross: Best New Las Vegas Restaurant 2024

Stepping into Diner Ross at the LINQ Hotel feels like entering a nostalgic dream of 1970s New York City. Past the glittering silver-tiled breezeway reminiscent of a disco ball, the restaurant charms with its retro aesthetic: orange booth seating, dusky green walls decorated with vintage album covers, and a staff dressed in paisley prints and jumpsuits. It’s a playful yet sophisticated take on themed dining.

While the design grabs your attention, it’s Chef Anna Altieri’s menu that truly shines. She reimagines comforting classics, starting with her signature popovers—fluffy delights served with butter and jam or elevated options like foie gras and caviar.

In addition to earning the title of Best New Restaurant, Diner Ross was just recently featured on Eater Vegas’s list of Where to Find the Best Salads in Las Vegas, thanks to the Chef’s Dirty Martini Salad. This dish layers bibb lettuce with martini olives, juniper, pimento, Roquefort cheese, and a touch of lemon for balance, offering a salad that’s as indulgent as its namesake cocktail. Pair it with an actual dirty martini for the full experience.

Diner Ross is more than a restaurant; it’s an experience that artfully blends nostalgic charm with modern culinary excellence. And it’s really fun!

From Elegant to Everyday Presentations

Caviar, the glistening pearls of luxury, has been a symbol of indulgence for centuries. While it is often associated with formal events and opulent gatherings, caviar can also be a delightful addition to casual occasions.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or a cozy get-together, this collection can help with ideas to serve caviar in ways that suit both fancy and relaxed settings.

From the luxurious ossetra (sturgeon roe) or the more accessible tobiko (flying fish roe), to very affordable black lumpfish roe, caviar invites food enthusiasts to savor its complexity and appreciate its origins.

Pairing it with classic accompaniments like blinis and crème fraîche, or experimenting with modern twists such as a stuffed martini olive or fried matzoh balls allows caviar to shine in both traditional and innovative ways.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Hot Honey

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Hot Honey
Pine Nuts, Bleu Cheese, Red Jalapeño

Here’s a great side dish for Christmas or winter holidays in general. Hot honey’s sweet heat contrasts beautifully with the earthy Brussels sprouts, tangy bleu cheese, and buttery pine nuts. It also ties the flavors together by adding a touch of sweetness and spice. Thinly sliced red jalapeños add that festive touch!

The creamy, piquant flavor of bleu cheese complements the slightly bitter taste of Brussels sprouts. This pairing works especially well when the Brussels sprouts are roasted, as the caramelization enhances their natural sweetness. The pine nuts toasty, nutty flavors add another layer of depth and another texture to the dish.

Black Cod over Black Rice

Miso Glazed Black Cod over Black Rice
Shredded Carrot Salad, Peas, Pea Shoots
Lemon Soy Emulsion

Black cod, also known as sablefish, is brushed with a miso glaze that complements the fish’s luscious buttery flavor and silky melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Black rice, with its nutty flavor, chewy texture, and striking dark purple-black color, is paired with peas for a colorful and classic combination. A zesty carrot salad adds brightness and crunch, while a lemon soy emulsion brings vibrant, salty, umami notes.

The combination of rich miso-glazed black cod, contrasting black rice, fresh carrot salad, and sweet green peas, results in a visually stunning, Asian-influenced dish that’s both simple and impressive. And fresh local pea shoots add mild spring pea flavor and make the whole dish pop!
