    Brunch burger
    Camille S.

    What a cute little gem downtown. Great location if you are checking out all the vintage and antique shops. The parking is a little challenging so give yourself time before your reservation. The service was remarkable. Our guy was very attentive and helpful the entire time. Before I left I ordered a coffee, he saw I took the lid off to cool it down and without asking he brought me a cup of ice to help. He was very thoughtful and pleasant. The ambiance was loud but it's cute and simple inside and with the outside light coming in made it nice. There is a nice bar separated by a wall from the dining area. It is welcoming and nicely lit. I had the Reuben sandwich. The bread was dripping in butter but had a great flavor and was still crunchy. The pastrami, slaw and Russian dressing combo was really delicious and I'd recommend. The fries were good, I would maybe have cooked them 1 minute longer but I like mine more crunchy. My husband had the brunch burger with bacon and egg and he really liked it but would suggest to add another patty if you're hungry. My fil had the Smash double patty burger and he said it was really good. The buns were soft and tasted fresh and the meat was well flavored. They have a super cute pastry bar that looks amazing but I was too full to try anything but we will go back again soon.

    Stopped in for coffee and a loaf of Sourdough to go. Wonderful dining room when you walk in, about 14 tables and 3 booths that probably seat about 4 people. Lots of seating at the bar area, and a large window table that seats about 6 people. It was not loud at all for a Sunday morning, around 10:30 am. Coffee is superb, sourdough loaf was soft and delicious. Lots of pastries and breads to choose from. Friendly staff and service. Food coming out on large plates and platters looked really good and the constant aroma of everything being cooked or brewed, just mouthwatering. I will definitely be back to try the breakfast and lunch menu. What a gem in the heart of downtown Vegas.

    Pastrami Ruben

    First time trying this place. I got the pastrami Ruben on sourdough instead of multi grain. The sandwich was delicious! But word of warning it's really messy! It has Cole slaw with Russian dressing instead of sauerkraut. But it tastes very good. The dressing makes it messy though. But it was worth it. The fries are crispy despite being on the fat side. The sandwich is not large but it was filling and I couldn't eat all the fries. There's a bar on one side of the restaurant and a dozen or so tables. On this Friday for lunch about 1/2 the tables were open. The service is very good and I got my food pretty quick and he checked back often. Checking out took a little bit because I used a coupon

    This was a great spot that my friends and I enjoyed. We arrived at 9:30am and easily got a table for 4. We were so enraptured in our conversation, we took forever ordering from the menu but the waiters were kind and patient. I got a cappuccino, the crème brûlée croissant, and the Main Street special (eggs, toast, bacon, and potatoes). The croissant was so good and the bacon was utter perfection. Everyone enjoyed the meals and my friend was raving about the matcha. The restaurant is also very pretty and the bathrooms were clean. You can also order at the counter and take your things to go. They had tables outside too. I look forward to a future visit.

    1228 wow! I am a repeat customer and you can find me at the bar with an espresso martini in hand. Last year my favorite brunch item was discontinued and that was the egg salad sandwich. I know that sounds like a boring option, but let me tell you! I miss it everyday. I do enjoy their burger and croissant sandwich. This is a cute spot where you can see the pastries being made and prepped. The bar area is a great place to chit-chat with whoever you're with! This is also a solid brunch choice. At the end of your meal, ask for the cookie of the day and get it warmed!

    So much quality & local spots in this part of town! Love 1228 Main for a good spot to enjoy a meal or a good spot to grab pastries! We need more of this kind of combo in the "suburbs " of Vegas! Come out to us please! We enjoyed our meal, dessert and takeaway goodies! Very nice and clean restaurant and service was also wonderful! Thank you!

    Exterior is very modern and chic.

    Hubby brought me here on a surprise impromptu date night, so I didn't really know what to expect. I was very pleased with my meal at 1228 Main. There are some issues, but this restaurant does a lot really well. The menu is very limited, and there are little to no vegetarian / vegan options. This really shocked me, especially for a restaurant in the Arts District. I'm unsure if the chef would be willing to accommodate, but it seemed like the type of place that you'd be told "no" if you wanted to modify something to be meatless. Minus a star for limited veggie options. Another thing I didn't like was the overall atmosphere. It's a working bakery and kitchen, which means there was a never-ending clatter from the kitchen as well as the distracting smell of bread baking. Both kitchens were also producing a lot of heat, and the restaurant was uncomfortably warm. I was not cool and relaxed, and they are in desperate need of better air conditioning. I cannot imaging how horrid the summer months must get, and I will be sure to avoid dining here during that time. I also found the service to be lacking. It wasn't unprofessional, but I would call it inattentive. For a nicer, chef-driven restaurant, I expect far, far better service. My water glass shouldn't be empty, and I would appreciate a server at least checking in on my within 5 minutes after my meal is served. Our waiter dropped our food and never returned, leading to us having to repeatedly try to flag down anyone to bring us water since we were desperate for a drink! Now on to the good! The food was so fresh and tasty. While the menu didn't offer detailed enough descriptions, I was happy with what I ordered. We shared a shrimp appetizer that was beautifully fried and presented, and the portion was large (actually, I'd say it was too large) for two people. I'd only order this again if we had one or more friends with us. The shrimp quality was exceptional, and the flavors were on point. Next up was the bread service with butter. Get this. It features whatever fresh breads they've made recently, and it was so good. I actually wish this was larger, I needed more bread slices! Our server gladly brought us extra butter for no additional charge, which I appreciated. For our entrees, hubby got the steak and I got the shrimp pasta. He said the steak was good, but not great. My dish was excellent. I loved the fresh flavors and the sweet peas added so much to the buttery sauce. We both had leftovers and agreed that the dishes reheated so well that they tasted almost as good as they did the night before! I was pleased with how reasonably priced the wine list was! I got a quality glass of sparkling wine for $14, and he got a special pickle juice cocktail for under $20. The cocktail was laughably small, but they didn't skimp on liquor or flavors. The wine list and cocktail list are incredibly well curated. The dining room was surprisingly empty at 6:30 on a Saturday night. It was very easy to secure a reservation at the last minute. I hope that's not forecasting a bad time ahead for this restaurant. Eventually a few tables started to fill in, but it was far from packed on a weekend night. Despite a few bumps in the road, I will recommend 1228 Main and will be sure to return. I don't think it's destined to be a personal favorite of mine, but I will add it to our local dining rotation.

    1228 is amazing!!! I visited 3 times for weekend brunch before I wrote this review and it has been consistent all along! Located in the Arts district - 1228 Main provides Las Vegas locals with top quality foods, great menu selection and artisan pastry and bread chefs, and all that in local setting! Prices are also appropriate! First time I got here, I was skeptical about the bakery in the Arts district, but after trying their donuts, breads, quiches - I was blown away! Every weekend I came here there was a different special item they were pushing - yet it was always good. Even matcha filled donuts (I am no matcha lover) were awesome!!! Of note, I would say breakfast burrito is fabulous, quiche is good and I really liked corned beef hash with eggs! Service is good. Consistently good. To be honest we felt our server first and second time might have been nice to us, so the third time we had a different server and it was still great! Ambiance resembles open space with dark wood tones contrasted with white open kitchen! Very clean and immaculate! Street parking was not the problem for weekend brunch!!!

    We randomly tried 1228 Main after we set up our consignment booth at Republic Goods and man their food was phenomenal! The bartender recommended their homemade pop tart and it did it disappoint! it was so flaky, buttery and full of fruit flavor! Then we shared a classic breakfast plate and the eggs were so light and fluffy! The potatoes were perfectly crispy. Overall, everything on that visit was great. Then we stopped in the next weekend for a Chai Tea Latte which was just okay, too sweet and not enough Chai spices. And a Lemon Curd Cruffin which was good but not great. So four stars since most of the food is great but I had the luck of trying a couple of things that weren't great in one visit. I would definitely go back to try more and get that pop tart again.

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to check out this spot. What a cute place!! Came here with my sister in law, mother in law, and our friend. We stopped in for some lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't terribly busy. We were seated right away. I love that there is a dining room area as well as a separate bar area. They also do have a few seats outside for patio dining as well. But the ambiance inside is spectacular. To drink, three of us ordered the Hands Down cocktail. It sounded super refreshing. I did want to try the Dirty Anna, but I'll try that next time. The Hands Down cocktail was hands down the most delicious!!! I know that's cheesy, but I don't care. It was everything I wanted. Super refreshing. The glass it was served in was also so dang cute. For lunch, I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. I've been on a fried chicken sandwich kick lately, so I was glad I ordered this. It was soooo good! The slaw had a nice kick to it and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was hard not to devour the entire thing. We ended up coming back in here later to grab a shot and had them make the Hands Down into a shot and it was delicious. Our server even stopped by at the bar to say hi to us again haha. Love the service here and again, food is phenomenal! I'll definitely be back.

    While I can't speak to their entire menu, their pastries and Sourdough loaves are always on point. I'll make it a point to sit down and eat there next time. But their bread is fantastic!

    Definitely a hip place for brunch in the Arts District area. We came on a Sunday, which can be loud and crowded. Funky hip music played in the background. There are a few tables for outdoor dining on the sidewalk woth people walking by. We enjoy spicy food, however two of our dishes were way too spicy! The Corn Beef Hash was doused with Cholula Sauce, and perhaps my wife's Breakfast Burrito had too much jalapeños in the tamatillo salsa. Maybe the chef this day has a high spice tolerance. The Wagyu Burger and Chicken Sandwich were good, but nothing to rave about. I highly recommend their pastries and sweets! The Banana Nut Bread and Chocolate Croissant were delicious! We also loved the Sourdough Bread, which we ordered a second to take home. Our server was very friendly. I recommend the breads and pastries. We were disappointed with the hot food.

    Good
    Sierra B.

    Amazing service, with friendly staff. Our waitress was so kind and quickly got us everything we asked for and answered all of our questions. She even told us about baking classes they have! The ambience is beautiful and everything is very clean. The food was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals. No complaints whatsoever. The potatoes have a flavorful seasoning, the bacon is a great cut and flavor-not too salty, and all of the baked goods we tried were amazing. We tried the banana bread and croissant and both were very good. If you like banana bread this is some of the best I've ever had (as it seems to be nut free)

He canceled the reservation on Mother's Day and was fully aware of the stated $25 per person cancellation fee ($100 total). Unfortunately, the restaurant charged his card three separate charges totaling $250 ($100, $100, and $50). He contacted the restaurant and was initially told the refund would be processed within 3 days. After following up again 3 days later, he was told the employee who handles refunds was out of the country and that he should not have been told 3 days. He then received an email from Thaddeus confirming the cancellation fee was only $25 per person and stating he could use the $100 as credit toward a future visit if he showed the email at the restaurant. However, the additional $150 in charges was never addressed. My son replied to the email asking about the extra charges and still has not received a response 3 days later. At this point, he is handling the matter through his bank's fraud department. Very disappointing experience, especially with the lack of communication and accountability. I would not recommend this place.

Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. I probably should've realized what we were in for when I noticed they offered "sensory kits" at the restaurant. Once we were seated, the noise level was absolutely unbearable. And I'm not exaggerating when I say it was louder than a concert. The crazy part was that it wasn't even from music. It was just the overwhelming noise from the crowd and other guests. We literally had to shout across the table just to communicate with each other. It completely ruined the experience and made what was supposed to be a special dinner feel stressful and exhausting instead. The food and drinks were still very good, which honestly makes this even more frustrating. But the atmosphere was so overwhelmingly loud that it overshadowed everything else. I genuinely regret choosing this place for my son's 21st celebration. Sadly, after this experience, we won't be returning.

The Grilled Oysters were not a favorite. However, I think that's just personal preference because of the style they are prepared in. We prefer our grilled oysters to be very charred and more of a buttery flavor. These are prepared in an Asian style and and more of a soft grill than a char. Our server very graciously had a second plate served up with more of a grill to the oyster which we appreciated. The rest of the dishes were delicious. We were so full that we passed on dessert, but would definitely be back because the options were inventive and looked so tasty. A doughnut bread pudding, a bourbon brownie; yes to both please!
