Ricotta Bread $8.00 bread was buttery with a slight crunch and the ricotta was nice added touch. 4.) Bravas Potatoes $12.00 these were like very large French fries delicious with the 2 dipping sauces. 5.) Crispy Brussels Sprouts $17.00 the crispy consistency of the Brussels with the smooth Hummus was a balanced flavor profile. 6.)

Braised Short Ribs Entree $43.00 these short ribs were a bit chewy the flavor profile was a bit sweet and savory. I wish the rib meat was more tender and no sweetness to the sauce. 9.)

This is truly a hidden gem. The tapas style Spanish/Italian fusion offers a unique menu with vibrant flavor combinations. The tasting menu is our favorite and changes periodically to keep it fresh. We did a la cart on this visit and added some items from the seasonal specials like peach panzanella salad, which along with the green tartare tasted like summer. We really love the scallop crudo and if you want the wow factor try the smoked hamachi with food gras. Everything is always exceptionally delicious. The service is top notch and lends to an overall experience that rivals any 5 star restaurant in the area. Talk to the sommelier for expert recommendations. We will continue coming back here every chance we get. Love it!

Excellent service, great food, wonderful experience. If you are looking for a more approachable alternative to the more expensive fine dining options in Las Vegas, Anima is a great choice.
Anima is a tapas restaurant with a Spanish Italian fusion-ish menu. The service here is excellent. They made sure we were taken care of, checked up on us often and that we understood everything on the menu. We ended up getting the tasting menu which has some items on the regular menu but also some exclusives. Unlike a regular tasting, some dishes are served "family style". You can customize your menu and our server made sure we were able to practically try everything.
It started off with the Tomato Hummus. The tomato adds more flavor to a regular hummus and it is served with won-ton pieces which is a great texture contrast and you don't get filled up with bread.
Next was the Duo of Bites. Was instructed to take the gazpacho like a shot. It's a little a mild tasting but it balances out the salty guanciale that serves with it. Nice pairing.
The Seada and Lamb Merguez was served together. We added guanciale to the Seada and it resulted in a what I would describe as an "upscale McDonalds McGriddle". It's sweet, savory and salty. The Lamb Merguez had lovely spices mixed in it, although the eggplant made this dish a little heavy. Still good none the less.
Moving on to the pasta. There was the Pumpkin Triangoli and the Rigatoni. The balance of sweet and savory continued with the Triangoli and it's topped with pecan crumble to add texture. One of my favorites from this tasting. Only problem was, there was so little of this dish and it's not on the regular menu. The Rigatoni goes the savory salty route with a seafood profile to it. Like a tomato clam chowder. Although tasty, I prefer the Triangoli.
We had the Branzino, Short Ribs and Hanger Steak next. The branzino was cooked perfectly. Crispy skin, moist and tender meat. One small gripe here though and it is with the baby bok choy side. I hate it when restaurants prepare and serve the baby bok choy whole because it means they didn't clean out the dirt that accumulates at the stem/bulb area (it's impossible to get this dirt out unless you pull apart the stalks). No matter, still good. The short ribs were fall apart tender. Very savory with deep umami flavors. This continued on with the Hanger Steak, which honestly, was out shined by the mashed potatoes it was served with. The steak was good but, it gets lost in the sauce, in this case, potatoes. While it was tender, the tempura onion rings would have provided a good contrast, unfortunately, the batter was slightly soggy/gummy. It's coated in rice flour unlike regular tempura which may have absorbed too much moisture.
And lastly dessert which was a crème brûlée. It was a good crème brûlée, but it just seemed a bit lackluster comparing it to everything else we had. No frills here. The kitchen did let us try their rendition of a Key Lime Pie. This should be the default way to end the meal. It's got the balance of flavors like the rest of the courses and is presented in a modern pseudo deconstructed way. Not too sweet, tangy, and full of flavor.
Dinner at Anima rivals the best that Las Vegas has to offer. From their excellent service to modern takes on food, you'd be hard pressed to find a similar experience for what you'd pay here. While not perfect, they provide a top tier experience for a reasonable price.

food is 4/5 on the uniform rating. 3/5 on the normal rating. service is great. only had appetizers and desserts
Wow this place is incredible. It’s kind of hidden and unassuming but the quality and flavor of the food and cocktails blew me away. I sat at the bar for some tapas and drinks and the bartender Nacho gave the best recommendations and took such great care of me. I almost wish I didn’t live across the parking lot, because I’m going to be walking over way more than I should.

Great food and service. Appreciate the attention to detail regarding the timing of the food and drink pairings. Also well done with my request for gluten free. They had gluten free options on the tasting menu that never felt less than and the entire staff knew of my request. Thank you for a wonderful dinner. Can't wait to come back.

This was the best meal we had in Vegas and it also happened to be our last night so thank you team for helping us to end it on a high note!
Two dishes that were mind-blowing: Sprouted cauliflower and the truffle cavetelli with bone marrow. We don’t like cauliflower usually as it tends to be blend but decided to try it as our waiter recommended it. It was so delicious with great flavours-unlike anything that we have had before. We love how the bone marrow elevates the pasta and we wanted to savour every bite of it!
The service was also excellent unlike most places other restaurants where the interaction felt forced.
Price wise is so much for reasonable than any reason the strip with 1 starter, 1 side, 2 mains, and 2 alcoholic drinks!
A must try if you are in Vegas and don’t mind driving a little!
