Hearthstone las vegas11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Roasted foie grass has been whipped into a mousse, sprinkled with Virginia peanuts and served with house-made fruit jelly and triangles of toast. ![]() In this case the letters stand for “foie gras and jelly,” and that isn’t as weird as the aforementioned scallops. It brought to mind, then and now, a dish of scallops with white chocolate and mead, which a fellow restaurant critic dared me to try at a restaurant in Florida, and which was actually a creative, well-balanced combination of flavors, much to my surprise.īut I digress. ![]() We had to try FG&J ($18), which is a riff on the all-American PB&J and a dish that has intrigued me since it was featured elsewhere in this section. And while Hearthstone’s entrees were tempting, we decided that the shared plates, “jars & toast” and “veggies & sides” were even more so. I’ve said many times how much I love small plates because of the flexibility they give the customer, to pick and choose to suit appetite and still try as many dishes as possible. No, there’s no gingham or chickens (there’s a little bit of kitsch, but not that much), but Hearthstone fulfills the quintessentially American part with a menu that mixes small plates, shared plates and full-size entrees, a staff that’s welcoming and accommodating and a warm interior design and expansive outdoor patio with lights and heaters for these chilly spring evenings. Whoever named this restaurant at Red Rock Resort chose wisely. When used in reference to a restaurant, as it is here, it evokes home and comfort, back in the day and down on the farm, gingham and chickens and Mom rolling out the pie dough - stuff that’s cozy and homey and most of all quintessentially American. Hearthstone's FG&J is foie gras with peanuts and house-made jelly. ![]()
