Esther’s Kitchen

I do not write reviews - ever. I am making an exception for this place. The food was unbelievably good. From the sourdough bread service through to the pasta course, everything was perfect. A cool place off the strip that is worth the uber!

Start out with a glass of wine with that amazing bread out of the oven with pesto ricotta spread and I have had 3 different pasta dishes and all are outstanding be back in a couple of weeks

We came to Vegas on an eating vacation. 8 restaurants in 6 days. This was hands down the best we had. Everything was delicious. Server didn’t get things quite right but the food was spectacular. A+

Had a hard time trying to modify our reservation

50th Birthday

My husband and I consider ourselves "foodies" & have been eating our way through Vegas for over 20 years & this by far is our favorite restaurant! Everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere - the food was absolutely to-die-for! We loved it so much we almost went back the next night. What an absolute delight in the desert & I can't wait to go back again! If you are Vegas and love food, you MUST go here!!

The food was absolutely delicious! Had lamb, goat cheese and mint pasta and pork mushroom sherry pasta. Outstanding.
Celebrating my 60th birthday. I thought they might have offered us a gratis dessert.

I was searching for a good restaurant with reservations and near the strip. I happened upon Esher's and took a gander at the menu. The bacon tortellini with lobster, corn and chives got me. It was home made so beyond delicious. The lasagna verde was a bit of a surprise. We thought it would have noodles but I don't think it did. The flavors of the dish were outstanding. Our server didn't seem to be terribly personable, but we chalked it up to being busy. It appeared he was the only waiter. He did miss bringing my Procecco with dinner, but I probably didn't need it anyway so I didn't say anything. The good butter... is damn good butter. Great experience!

Our daughter lives in Las Vegas and this is one of her favorite restaurants. We can see why! Great food- brunches on weekend are amazing and eclectic. Dinner is Italian and the pastas were exceptional. Great service, wine list, prices, and ambiance. Make a reservation because this is a very popular locals place. Ask to sit outside- they have mister's on the patio.

I can't say enough good things about Esther's Kitchen. Try the homemade nutella on sourdough. You won't be disappointed. :-)

Anniversary

A new brunch find! Interesting & unique brunch menu...we’ll be back again!

Everything was exceptional

Incredible dinner! We always love coming here but this time was especially nice as we sat outside. Every recommendation Joel gave was spot on!! From the meal, the wine pairing, dessert.. he knew what to recommend which I value and everything was amazing. I always want to get what I had the last time I was there but I force myself to try something new and I’m telling you I am always left in awe. The creativity, time, and detail that goes into each meal is something you recognize the second you take your first bite. We can’t wait to come back and try something new.

Celebrating birthday and our server was very attentive and was very helpful in making suggestions, that we were very happy with.

Favorite place in town! Great food and great service!

There was nothing about this experience that I disliked - everything was just perfection. I have wanted to come here for a long time and I wish I had gone ages ago!

Our server Liz was exceptional, one of the best servers I’ve ever had. The food was fresh, delicious, and well priced. You could taste the difference in the food here compared to other restaurants. It’s hard to find good Italian food on the west coast was this was a great reminder of food I grew up eating. I cannot wait to go back and have Liz as my server again.

Great bar service. Food recommendations were wonderful. The fresh house-made bread, pasta, and desert was an unexpected treat.

Food was tasty, service was great, highly recommended!

Overall 5 stars all around. Made reservations, got seated immediately. Our server was great, she went over the menu & gave recommendations. Tonight we had the mushroom risotto (vegan dish), homemade polenta, & chacutery board. Also paired with cocktails & beer. The ambiance was energetic! Every table was filled & you can tell everyone was enjoying themselves. It’s always a great experience. We love supporting small local businesses.

What a gem. Food was amazing g and service excellent

Food with big, bold flavors. Casual relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. 10/10 would dine again 😉

We had a great time at Esther’s. If you’re looking for a cool spot in the Arts District, this is definitely someplace you should go to.

Honestly I was expecting a lot more overall food wise. The bread and the spreads that they brought out were good but nothing too special. The anchovies spread was really good though. S/o to the chef for the complimentary beats which were nice. My pasta was rather undercooked and the pork rather bland n not enough cheese. I was pretty disappointed. The vegan risotto was too salty as well. The cocktails were fairly good though. Overall it was fairly underwhelming overall. I good place to try out but I won’t be coming back. Our waiter was fantastic all that to the side!

Birthday for a friend. Was a delightful meal and experience. It was a little pound indoors, but ok. Mushroom risotto was AMAZING.

Food was fantastic and the servers were excellent. The dishes were well executed and done with a classic vibe, but a new fresh style. Very artsy and the place has a great nice vibe.

So glad we found this place on Open Table. Could not have had a better local meal off the Strip. Absolutely loved the farm to table feel... and the burrata, pasta, and butter was amazing!

Went here for my birthday dinner and had an incredible experience the entire time! Delicious and inspired menu, trendy yet unique atmosphere, wonderful service. Esther has the most marvelous kitchen in town.

I've never had a bad meal here and our cocktails were perfectly crafter by Tucker our bartender. 5 stars across the board.

Always so many amazing choices at Esther’s. Tonight we split the cauliflower and the Caesar salad, then I tried the Nigerian prawn scampi and the hubby had the porchetta. My scampi was perfect and the size was exactly what I needed after already sharing two starters and some bread. Hubby’s porchetta was excellent as always. Finished with the whiskey caramel buddino.

My favorite restaurant in Las Vegas! The food is always delicious and beautiful, the staff is welcoming and generous, and in these special times, I appreciate that they are keeping to all the best practices (table distancing, masked staff, etc). We always buy the kitchen staff a beer!!! :-)

Enjoyed every bit of brunch offerings and craft cocktails. Food had a rustic feel to it, homemade but with a modern twist. Service was impeccable.

The food was fantastic. The service was great. The server made several suggestions and they were great.

This is my absolute, favorite restaurant. We have been many, many times and have never been disappointed. The food is outstanding. The service is always on point. I will continue to recommend Esther's Kitchen. Especially if you are visiting from out of town, this place is a must.

Wonderful gem of a restaurant if you want to escape the strip. We went for Sunday brunch but all their menus look delicious. We tried a few of the toast options to share which were an incredible combination of flavors. The breakfast pizza and meatballs hoagie were delicious as well. Fun space.

Just a very hospitable group of folks working there. Not obtrusive or overbearing. They know the menu and make great recommendations. An overall pleasant experience...will definitely be back!

We had a very lovely brunch experience. The waitstaff was very personable and the food was excellent! Can’t wait to go back.

Delicious and consistent always worth a visit

Fantastic food, drinks and service! If you haven’t been, you must try!

Loved it. We had a great experience.
