The bottle and charcuterie board were delicious. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The noise level was moderate, making it easy to have conversation without having to raise our voices. I’ll definitely be returning to S Bar.

The beet hummus was amazing! Service, ambiance, and overall value were excellent. I would absolutely recommend this place—it’s a great restaurant without the exorbitant prices you'd find on the Strip. I don’t smoke hookah myself, but the guests around us seemed to really enjoy it, adding to the lively atmosphere.
