New restaurant


 A very nice Cafe has opened in Summerlin Las Vegas called Jacques Cafe. This cafe is located at the Trails Village Center in Summerlin. This healthy French cuisine styled cafe has a broad menu with simple starters to fine entrees. There is a unique interior design and a warm friendly feeling when you enter.
Jacques also has a open bar area with a lounge atmosphere and out side seating for those comfortable days or evenings.
We has the Salmon Fish plate and the Deli burger which were fresh and delicious. They served the dished with cups of skinny shoestring fries which were great!

I see this as being a winner for the community and a nice place to relax!
