Seasonal Italian Restaurant. Focused on Handmade pasta, bread and pizza. We get all of our products as locally sourced as possible.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: James Trees

From the OpenTable editors: When James Beard-nominated chef James Trees opened Esther’s Kitchen in 2018, he helped put the Arts District on the city’s culinary map. Now in a stylish new space with an open kitchen and whimsical animal wallpaper, the refined Italian spot still turns out the same wood-fired sourdough pizzas and knockout pastas (get the rigatoni carbonara with snap peas) that made it an instant Vegas classic.

    Great food terrible service. Our waitress was rushing us the whole time, forgot multiple things we ordered and brought out one entree way before everyone else’s, all after making a big deal about how we needed to put in our whole order at once so they can properly course the meal. She even let out a loud audible sigh at us during service because we asked her for parmesan. It’s really too bad because I loved the food but I would never go back due to the poor service.

    This was my third time here. First 2 times were outstanding. So sadly, this time was disappointing. All started off lovely, great server initially, great wine, etc. Once dinner came, my companion discovered her risotto was incredibly salty. Our waiter hadn't checked on our dinners after our first few bites, so we had to get the attention of another staff member to address the issue. She was apologetic and took it back to the kitchen for a remake. When it was served again, they had removed all the cheese. Our original waiter had stopped back while the recook was being made, and blamed the saltiness on the parmesan cheese in the dish. I've had risotto with cheese and it's never tasted it that's salty. When the recook was brought out, again, there was absolutely no cheese in it. And there was no flavor. Once again, our server did not check back once that re-cook was brought out. It ended up the dish was not eaten. After the plates were cleared, the server then showed up. We told him what had happened. No one ever offered to take the dish off the bill. Sadly, although the food is usually delicious, I'm not sure I will be back again.

    It was busy when we arrived Saturday at 11:00 for brunch. Luckily, we had reservations and were seated quickly. The food was delicious and service was friendly. I highly recommend, but make sure you make reservations.

    Server did a poor job explaining the menu, Going super fast. Adding a 20% gratuity for a party of 6 is unnecessary. Pasta tasted bland, had to ask for salt since none was on the table. Bread w/ spreads was good. Meatballs were the star of the show.

    First visit and we were very impressed. Service was great, and the food was extremely good. The homemade pasta was excellent. Can't wait to come back on our next visit.
