Boston Fish House opens

While they called it a soft opening, Boston’s Fish House began serving customers with a fair share of online fanfare last week. The seafood restaurant is located toward the western edge of Tivoli Village, with a large modern dining area and raw bar, ample outdoor seating and a spacious private dining room. The menu offers familiar dishes such as baked clams, oysters Rockefeller, cioppino and (a bit ironically, based on the restaurant’s name) Manhattan clam chowder. There’s also a large selection of pastas and other Italian classics.

Hussong’s marks anniversary

Hussong’s Cantina at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place and 740 S. Rampart Blvd. will celebrate its 11th anniversary Friday with BOGO margaritas and $5 happy hour nachos all day.

Here’s the beef

For the first time, Ding Tai Fung has added a wagyu beef dish to its menu, and it’s available exclusively in Las Vegas (for now, at least). Eight ounces of Mishima American wagyu beef tenderloin come wok-fried with tri-colored peppers, onions, shimeji mushrooms and house-made black pepper sauce. The $38 dish was rolled out at the chain’s Aria location on New Year’s Day as a special, but the response was so positive it’s been permanently added to the menu in advance of a nationwide launch.

Reserve for Ethel M lights

Ethel M Chocolates, 2 Cactus Garden Drive in Henderson, is taking reservations for its Lights of Love Valentine’s display. The display runs through Feb. 14, but to ensure social distancing, reservations are required — and slots for the Christmas display were claimed quickly, so it’s best to move fast. It’s $5 (which will be donated to Three Square Food Bank) for a group of up to six people. The company also is offering in-person and virtual Valentine’s chocolate tastings. ethelm.com

Try a Twisted Turkey

In honor of National Bootlegger’s Day, the Underground speakeasy and distillery at The Mob Museum is featuring the Twisted Turkey through Sunday. It’s made with Wild Turkey 101, Aperol, pear-ginger shrub and rosemary syrup and was inspired by the bootleggers of the Prohibition era. It’s $12.
