Cafe 6 at the Palms keeps things quirky

DINING OUT

CAFE 6, PALMS PLACE, 4381 W. FLAMINGO ROAD

Cafe 6 opened late last month, replacing Simon Kitchen & Lounge, which closed because of the illness of chef Kerry Simon. The name comes from its location on the sixth floor of Palms Place, and like Simon, Cafe 6 has sweeping views of the Palms Place pool through floor-to-ceiling windows. Following the Simon tradition the menu has an emphasis on fun, with such dishes as the Dr Pepper/Shroom Burger, Turkey Dinner burger and several items that have earned Burn Your Face Off status. Here’s a sample of the menu:

Appetizers: Baked hard and salted 14-ounce soft pretzel, $9.95; salty crunchy pickles, $6.95; beer-battered rock shrimp, $12.95; chicken wings, $10.95.

Burgers: Turkey Dinner, $13.95; Burn Your Face Off, $14.95; meatloaf, $14.95; Dr Pepper/Shroom, $15.95; short rib sloppy Joe, $15.95; build-your-own selfie, $11.95.
