It’s Primetime for California Spiny Lobster in Las Vegas

October 25, 2024

Even in a landlocked city in the desert, hundreds of miles from any ocean, Water Grill Las Vegas offers high quality and value, bringing in the season’s first catch, multiple times each week.

In a recent appearance on the Las Vegas CBS affiliate, KLAS, Executive Chef Jeffrey Moreto shared Wild California Spiny Lobster at the start of the season, including education and preparation tips on this unique and original California seafood experience.  

“We like to feature our first-of-season program where we highlight what season has [recently] opened and what's readily available. California Spiny Lobster season [is here] and we’re one of the few restaurants on the strip that offer this product.”

California Spiny Lobster season opened up in early October and will typically run through March. This seasonal West Coast specialty can be prepared several ways. Chef Moreto explains how there’s no need to over-do it.

“We do a simple preparation and let the seafood speak for itself. So, we keep it very simple.”

Barrel'ly' Aged Craft Cocktail

September 11, 2024

As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, we look forward to the comfort that fall brings – and, a cocktail to go with the changing of seasons.  If you feel the same way, our September Bartender’s Special is the perfect end-of-season cocktail to add to your list.  

Barrel’ly’ Aged combines the oaky sweetness of bourbon with the brightness of citrus. Flavors of vanilla bean, complimented with the smoky complexity of barrel-aged bourbon, are reminiscent of the sweet, cozy and robust flavors of autumn. The bright sweetness of pineapple and lime juice, on the other hand, reminds us that it’s not quite the fall equinox just yet.
