Indulge For a Cause: My Journey Through Dine With a Purpose at The Forum Shops
Hey there, fellow food lovers, both Vegas visitors and locals like me! Get ready for an unforgettable culinary escapade that's all about embracing deliciousness and giving back.
I'm beyond excited to share my experience of diving into the "Dine With a Purpose" event happening at The Forum Shops inside Caesar's Palace. From September 1 to September 30, 2023, the following restaurants below will donate a portion of their proceeds to Three Square Food Bank – helping those in need in our community.
So, with an appetite for great food and a heart ready to give back, I headed to this culinary haven, eager to savor every moment.
Day 1
sUSHI SENSATIONS AT SUSHI ROKU
As a sushi aficionado, my first stop was Sushi Roku. The menu had my taste buds tingling with anticipation, and I couldn't wait to experience their creations again. I started with the Toro Carpaccio – delicate slices of toro topped with black truffle and Parmesan cheese. Each bite was like a burst of flavors, a harmonious blend of textures that left me craving more.
The Rib Eye Wrapped Asparagus is always a delightful surprise – even though I order it every time! The crisp asparagus beautifully complements the tenderness of the rib eye. And let's not forget the Tokubetsu Roll – a true masterpiece of sushi artistry.
Oyster Opulence at Water Grill
Water Grill had a treasure trove of ocean delights awaiting me, and I couldn't resist the allure of their Oysters. These little gems transported me to the seaside with their freshness. As I savored each one, I couldn't help but appreciate how something so small could make such a significant impact. Sharing a plate of oysters meant sharing love with the community – a beautiful reminder that even one action can create ripples of change.
Sweet Moments at The Palm Restaurant
The Palm Restaurant was next on my culinary journey and it didn't disappoint. While this place was known for its legendary steaks, it was the NY Cheesecake that truly stole the show. Creamy, indulgent, and oh-so-satisfying, it was a slice of heaven on a plate.

Day 2
Italian Comfort at Carmine's NYC's Family Style Italian Restaurant
Carmine's welcomed me with open arms and a menu that spoke of hearty Italian goodness. The Carmine's Salad was a refreshing start – a medley of flavors that set the tone for the meal. You'll want to bring family and friends here because this restaurant is known for their big portions. And let's not forget the Frozen Berry Cosmo – a vibrant and delicious sip that perfectly elevated my experience.
Pasta Passion at Trevi Italian Restaurant
Trevi's promise of pasta perfection led me to the Pappardelle alla Bolognese. The rich flavors of the sauce coated each strand of pasta, creating a comfort-food masterpiece. It was a dish that celebrated the joy of savoring each bite. I seriously couldn’t get enough!
Seafood and More at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab
As my culinary adventure drew to a close, I couldn't resist the allure of the classic Cherries Jubilee pie at Joe's Seafood. Each bite was a nod to tradition, a reminder of the simple pleasures in life. It was the perfect ending to a journey filled with flavors, emotions, and the satisfaction of knowing that my dining experience was making a positive impact.
