Honey Salt is a true gem in the Summerlin neighbourhood, which is just west of the Las Vegas strip. And it’s well worth the drive.<\/p>\n
The eaterie is the first collaborative venture for renowned restaurateur Elizabeth Blau and her husband, award-winning Chef Kim Canteenwalla. They have an established relationship with farmers, fisherfolk and other food providers so they can provide the best products to create memorable meals.<\/p>\n
Most dishes incorporate honey and salt. And this happens to be the self description of the two chefs’ personalities! Sweet and saline – a combination that’s rapidly moving up the charts!<\/p>\n
Our table was served with a dish of crisps perfectly seasoned with a side of honey butter sprinkled with black lava Hawaiian salt. We ate al fresco on the patio to enjoy the early summer evening with a glass of ros\u00e9 to accompany the setting sun (same colour?) and the meal.<\/p>\n
I skipped the starters and went right for my favourite dish of sea scallops. This is in line with my rule for a first visit. When trying a new restaurant if they can\u2019t prepare scallops correctly I never go back. I shall go back.<\/p>\n
I opted for Caramelized Sea Scallops with cauliflower, vanilla bean, and truffle sauce.($33)<\/p>\n
While not an A+ they certainly deserve an A rating. The scallops were cooked perfectly but lacked the full sear you would normally expect. My server was apologetic and offered to have them redone but they were so good I ate them as they were.<\/p>\n
The scallops are normally served on a bed of cauliflower pur\u00e9e with charred cauliflower but I asked for a substitute of heirloom carrots instead and they were happy to accommodate.<\/p>\n
Chef-driven, farm to table cuisine with an emphasis on locally and regionally sourced ingredients in an approachable and comfortable setting.<\/p>\n
Most starters are from $10 to $15 while main courses are around $25 to $35. There is also a range of salads – around $15. (Europeans: Don’t forget to add around 25% for taxes and service to these prices).<\/p>\n
I am always happy to find local gems in a city not known for independent restaurants. Well worth the visit if your time allows.<\/p>\n
