Esther's Kitchen

Absolutely fantastic restaurant with a great vibe. Cocktails are amazing. The working title is such a fun cocktail, with the fragrance of a Lemon Drop candy and refreshing flavor, I definitely recommend. The MALLOREDDUS was fantastic as well and packed full of flavors. I will note, this dish is quite spicy so be aware, if you do not like spicy food. Overall, great experience and would come back again and again if I were local.

This place is a gem, we had the best experience. We sat at the bar and Blake (bartender) was super knowledgeable and he is very experienced in his craft. We ordered the Sexy Soccer Mom and Presumed Ginnocent cocktails, and they were Amazing. To eat we ordered the Esther's Chopped salad , which tasted like charcuterie met the farm and had a baby, we also ordered the Radiator which was also fantastic. The pasta is freshly made and th pizza is made in a beautiful brick oven to perfection. We are most definitely coming back.

Esther's was on our list of places to visit after seeing it on an episode of Somebody Feed Phil. It's located in the up and coming Arts district, not far from the LV Strip. It's a pretty busy place. We initially attempted to dine here on a Friday night with no reservation, and they were unable to accommodate us. On the following Saturday we made a lunch reservation for 1:30pm. After being seated for at least 10 to 15 mins with no attention, we had to flag someone down for service. After finally getting service, we ordered cocktails to knock off the edge. My wife had the MAMA DORIS SOUR, and I had the Old Fashioned. The drinks were well-balanced and hit the spot. For our meal we ordered the Butter Lettuce Salad, Radiatore Pasta and the WOOD GRILLED HALF MARY'S CHICKEN. The salad was nicely put together with fresh ingredients however, for me, there was a weird crunchy sand like texture on the salad which was a little off-putting. The other items were spot on. The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. The chicken was fresh from the grill with wonderfully crisp skin. Side note... the chicken takes about 30 minutes, so be prepared. Overall, we were happy with our experience with the exception of the delay in service. We will return for dinner in the future.

Esther's Kitchen easily earns a definitive 5-star rating, not just for its farm-to-table cuisine but for the overall quality of the guest experience. The establishment successfully blends a sophisticated culinary concept with genuine, warm hospitality. The standout feature of our visit was the bar staff. They were incredibly cordial and funny, treating guests more like long-time friends than customers. Their engagement and attention truly elevated the mood of the entire evening. This level of professional yet relaxed service is a major component of the restaurant's charm. Complementing their personality, the bar staff created stupendous drinks. Each cocktail was perfectly balanced, utilizing fresh ingredients that highlighted the care put into the entire beverage program. The skill shown in their drink preparation is as impressive as the dishes coming out of the kitchen. While the food—the seasonal pasta and wood-fired pizzas—was executed with the consistency expected of a top-tier establishment, the memory of the fantastic bar team and their innovative, delicious drinks is what makes this restaurant a mandatory return trip. Esther's Kitchen offers an outstanding combination of high-quality dining and unbeatable hospitality.

Food was delicious! Compliments goes to the chef, but service was lacking and we were near the front so hard to miss us by the register but our water was never refilled so it was a bit hard to enjoy the carb heavy lunch with no water. Also, the atmosphere was lively but our tables were so close that we practically were in other people’s conversations and they kept looking at us. Kinda hard to network or host business lunch here but great food if you ever want pasta in Arts District. Paying for parking does suck though, service and wait staff could use more training.
