In September 2023, chef Roy Ellamar took to Summerlin and partnered with LEV restaurant group to open a new restaurant — one that quickly became a destination for Ellamar’s slightly sweet, almost crunchy, pleasantly fluffy banana bread. Fine Company at Downtown Summerlin was Ellamar’s first foray since leaving Harvest by Roy Ellamar at the Bellagio in 2021. In the nine months since its debut, Fine Company has earned a steady fandom among the Summerlin brunch crowd, an Eater Award for Best New Off-Strip Restaurant, and expanded its menus. This week, Ellamar stepped away from the business, citing a difference of opinion regarding the restaurant’s future.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
