What a great area of Las Vegas. I’ve been to this city at least a dozen times. Never been to this Arts District. Cool vibe. Great atmosphere. Parking in the area pretty convenient. Food was unique. Fresh. Delicious. The Caprese was the bomb. Great flavors. Sausage pizza amazing. Good size portions. My only complaint would be it took over 30 minutes to order. But once we did it came out pretty quickly. Except they forgot the spaghetti and one in our group had to wait another 15 min for his food. This place is definitely on our RETURN list!

They don't often serve Asians. It's surprising that America's discrimination against Asians is still this bad. It's very slow, and you can't even see it. The food tasted okay, but I don't think I'll be coming again. Haha, the female server with black hair, curly hair, and dark eyelashes is the worst.

My recent visit to this establishment left me utterly disappointed and disheartened. As someone with celiac disease, dining out can often present challenges, but the treatment my party and I received here was beyond unacceptable.Upon inquiring about gluten-free options, instead of helpful suggestions, we were met with ridicule and disdain from the waiter. He callously joked about gluten being in the air and belittled our dietary needs in front of other patrons. It was a humiliating experience, unlike anything I've encountered before.Despite our willingness to compromise and settle for salad, the waiter's attitude remained hostile and mocking. We were made to feel like burdens rather than valued customers seeking accommodation.Regrettably, we felt compelled to leave without dining, a decision I will ensure to communicate to others seeking restaurant recommendations. No one should endure such disrespect simply for having dietary restrictions.In summary, the lack of empathy and professionalism displayed by the staff is deeply concerning. I urge management to address this issue promptly to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. As for potential patrons, exercise caution if you have dietary restrictions, as you may encounter food shaming rather than assistance.

I’ve been a big fan of Esters. In all fairness we went the first full day they opened and the staff was nice but the service was very scattered. It took over 2 hours to eat a brunch. The food was good but it is odd that a place that serves breakfast doesn’t have any ketchup or similar for the eggs and hash browns. I’m excited to go back in a few weeks and redo. I’m hoping for some new additions to the menu as well.

We can't say more amazing things about Esther's Kitchen, and highly recommend a visit to anyone in the Vegas area. In fact, we loved it so much during our short, 3-day stay in downtown Vegas, that we visited twice (the original location)!Big thanks to the bar staff (Jonah and Jesse!) for making our meals so fantastic. Note: always sit at the bar!

So happy to have found this little gem off the strip. It is a lively environment with very friendly staff and tasty from scratch food. We started with the prosciutto and fontina biscuits with basil ricotta and chives and they were LEGIT...came out piping hot and were large enough to practically be a meal in themselves. I also had the blueberry and lemon curd French toast and it was delicious. My only complaints are it took a while to get our food and the $10 mimosas are a joke. The ratio of champagne to orange juice is perfect, but they bring you less than half a wine glass. Just sad. We'll be back tho!
What a great find on our trip to the convention center. A must go!!

Always love a new place in the Art District! Went for lunch. Affordable. The food was very good and service very professional and nice. The Chef came to greet us at our table and we chatted a little. This is the kind of attention that will get this place to rise! Will be back soon.Update 6 years later: Went for their last lunch service at the original location today until they reopened in the bigger place around the corner. This place has been my favorite since Day f-ing One and can't wait to see what's next!

AMAZING! The sourdough, tuna a nd tiramisu dessert were fabulous! I could have watched the bartender make drinks all night! Also, it is so nice to go to a restaurant that works like a well oiled machine. Everyone helping each other and filling in where needed. The will reopen in 2 weeks at a larger location!

Was craving Italian food - went in without a reservation and had to wait 20 minutes for back patio.Food quality and taste are good. Menu is varied with a good range for both vegetarian and meat dishes.Pan Roasted Mary’s Chicken main is superb (order extra jus) and a good as was the dessert pavlova tiramisu! The pasta dish very tasty again but was a smaller portion.Recommended but probably be a good idea to make a reservation!!!
