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.

    Food was excellent. This restaurant is a must try for all visiting Las Vegas! Felt a little rushed. Our waiter took our drink, food, and appetizer orders at the same time so everything arrived at the same time.

    We had the sourdough bread with chicken pate and strawberry, grilled branzino and the crab pasta and all are excellent! The flavors of each dish were familiar, yet unique at the same time, all done well! All though it was a packed house, the service was very good.

    This restaurant is away from the crowded touristy strip. Many of the patrons seem to be locals or visitors looking for something not as corporate as the casino restaurants. The ambiance is warm and comfortable. The street outside is old town main street with several other restaurants and breweries. The menu has something for everyone. It’s Italian in concept but I was able to find low carb options. My wife had a very nice homemade pasta entree. The Gem Salad was enormous. As in most places in Las Vegas wines by the bottle are over priced but there are a few wines by the glass that are affordable. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. Our meal was well timed. We enjoyed the experience.

    We have long enjoyed Esther’s, and have found the food exceptional in the past. This visit might be an off day, but we weren’t impressed by the food on several counts this visit. My friend and I both didn’t love our pasta dishes. The usually delicious fried cauliflower was this time significantly under seasoned. The bread for the charcuterie board was delayed at least 10 minutes after the meats and cheeses were delivered. I hope this isn’t their new standard, but I’m concerned and not going to race back.

    Amazing Brunch! We had the French toast (it’s dessert really!) and the chicken parm sandwich. Both were delicious! Service is so good. We absolutely love their mock tails, the amount of creative effort put into them is tasted in every sip. NOTE: They close 3-5 every day! Make a reservation!! Enjoy!!

    Our food was amazing as expected. Dan, our server, was fantastic. He was funny, made great suggestions based on our requests, and we never had to ask for refills. It was cute to see all the prom kids in their formal wear. Thank you for another beautiful and delicious evening. We'll be back soon.
