Paw Print Bullet Grape Street Café – 7501 W. Lake Mead Blvd. (map), 702-228-9436

“This is among Las Vegas’ best examples of the California cuisine experience – lots of fresh ingredients with a Mediterranean flair complemented by good wines from across the nation and around the world,” reports Gayot, which includes this café in its top 10 list of the city’s best wine bars. Along with more than 90 wine selections available by the glass, the menu offers seafood, pasta and pizza. Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Havana Grill – 8878 S. Eastern Avenue, Suite 100 (map), 702-932-9310

In the mood for yuca, a sandwich Cubano and black beans and rice, all washed down with a mojito or two? Reviewer Chris D. warned on Zagat.com, “Fried plantains and sweet potato fries are addictive.” Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Lindo Michoacan – 2655 E. Desert Inn Rd. (map), 702-735-6828

This family-owned eatery has three locations in the Las Vegas area. “Very good Mexican food, at reasonable prices,” wrote Rocko on urbanspoon.com. “Table side guacamole is a must have every time. Ceviche excellent, carnitas excellent … Great service, very attentive.” Open 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. Saturday; 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.

Spiedini Ristorante – 221 North Rampart Blvd. (map), 702-869-8500

You can dine with your pooch beside a pond with a waterfall at this hidden gem inside the JW Marriott resort. In her Las Vegas Review-Journal review, Heidi Knapp Rinella called Spiedini’s antipasto plate “the best we’ve seen in many a moon – maybe ever.” Reviewer Louis F. on Zagat.com agreed: “Good food well prepared and served. Never disappointed.” Dinner served nightly from 5 to 9 p.m.

Triple George Grill – 201 N. 3rd St. (map), 702-384-2761

According to this swanky surf-and-turf joint’s website, a “George” is someone who uses “class and cool as a catalyst for a good time.” (Think Frank Sinatra.) Both two-legged and four-legged Georges are welcome on the patio. “This restaurant was like old Las Vegas,” wrote Mary F. in her Yelp review. “I probably had the best steak of my life here and I loved the ambiance.” Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday; 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday; closed Sunday.
