    Cinnamon Roll Waffle and Mimosa
    Kristina P.

    I just found my new favorite brunch spot! The cinnamon roll waffle is hands down the best waffle I've ever had. It was literal perfection. I paired it with a side of bacon and a pineapple mimosa. The service was awesome and we sat outside right on the strip which is the best for people watching. I have no complaints about Alexxa's and we will definitely be back!

    Tortellini, very bland, waste of money

    Made a reservation online for a Sunday dinner to celebrate my daughter's 29th birthday, family of five adults. Parking was free for locals under three hours at the Paris so that's a big plus. We were seated promptly at a nice table outside with an umbrella and misters, great for people watching. Our server Nick, was very nice, and the food was brought out fairly quickly. The lemonade is a lemon drink, the crispy potatoes look delicious, but no spices whatsoever and the pastas were all bland as well. Don't think they have real Italian cooks in the kitchen, because Italians are not afraid to use spices. The mushrooms were delicious and the steaks were very tasty. However, my daughter asked for medium and they brought her medium well. The menu is limited and because of that we would be reluctant to return. Also worth noting is bread is extra $20, no complementary bread service although they do have plates on the table, hoping that you will pay for bread. When you don't order bread, they remove the bread plates. The hostess and Nick did acknowledge my daughter's birthday and also she was treated with a small complementary cake and a candle, so sweet! Beware of the CNF, concession and franchise fee that some restaurants on the strip are putting on bills, which is pure profit for the restaurant. We didn't notice it until we got home and examined our bill, otherwise we would have reduced the size of our tip to offset that fee.

    I came here during restaurant week with my girlfriend, and it was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was fantastic and she had the most amazing recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were very large considering it was restaurant week. The Bellagio fountains in the background are just a nice added bonus to the beautiful view of the strip. I would absolutely recommend coming back for a date night!

    We came to Alexxas's around the time they opened, without realizing, and the restaurant was empty inside while the outside was packed! I was so confused why it was so empty until I realized we came literally at the time they opened. It then started picking up and I saw multiple people coming and getting sat inside. Andrew was our server and he was ok. He was very quiet, not happy and didn't seem too willing to help when we'd ask him any questions. He got kinda annoyed and sassed us. Maybe he was having an off day, but I wasn't very happy with his service... :( I ordered a hot coffee and their coffee was good. They offer free refills. My friend got an iced coffee with vanilla and then found out they had matcha, so she got their iced matcha and loved it! We both got the chicken and waffles and it was tasty. The chicken came out crispy and the waffles were so warm. I give it a solid 8/10. They have a house made specialty syrup with these and that was deliciousss. The chicken and waffles also come with a spicy sauce but we asked for that on the side. I tried it and didn't want to add it to my food but it normally comes on top. The atmosphere and environment of the restaurant was beautiful. It's right on the strip and their outside patio has wonderful strip views. If it wasn't a bit chilly we would've sat outside. They're also connected to the Paris hotel, so after breakfast we decided to take a walk around Paris. Thank u for a delicious breakfast!

    We got the steak, grilled branzino, Bolognese pasta, and a French martini. Everything was cooked really well and tasted great. A few dishes leaned a little oily, but nothing that took away from the meal. The French martini was a standout and probably one of the best cocktails I had all weekend. The only downside was that service felt a bit slower compared to some of the other restaurants we visited. We waited a little over 15 minutes before someone came by to take our order. That said, once the order was in, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and we never felt completely forgotten. The view is great, and being right next to the Strip gives the restaurant a lively energy. It is definitely on the louder side, but that's part of the atmosphere. Overall, a great option if you're looking for a solid meal close by.

    Tiramisu, delicious
    Liz P.

    I went here for dinner tonight with coworkers (we are in town for a convention) and everything was very good. The food was like 5/5 from me and the service was maybe 4/5; however, it's a very loud space hence why I'm docking it a star. My boss has dined outside there before too and said it's actually even louder. I had the Verona Sour cocktail, which was good but not as peachy-tasting as I was hoping, and the Filet Medallions Marsala, medium rare. The medallions were delicious - I think I maybe forgot it came with risotto, which is hit or miss for me, and I really enjoyed that too. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and presentation plus taste was excellent. Additionally, prices here are not bad for the Strip - my cocktail was $18 and meal was $50, but they had some pastas for $25-30 I believe. Overall, I would return to this restaurant, as everything was very tasty.

    This restaurant is located inside Paris Las Vegas and offers both indoor seating and outdoor seating along the Strip. We dined on a busy Saturday night, and despite how crowded it was, the service was excellent. Our server, Janet, was pleasant, attentive, and did a great job keeping up with her tables. The atmosphere inside is lively and energetic, but the music was so loud that it was difficult for us to hear each other during dinner. We ordered the balloon bread with three dipping sauces, lobster bisque, oysters, branzino, crispy potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts, and a Wagyu burger. The balloon bread and crispy Brussels sprouts were the highlights of the meal for me. The branzino was also very good. The biggest disappointment was the oysters. The oyster meat was extremely small, and when we pointed it out to our server, she agreed. I'm surprised the kitchen would send them out that way. If some are that small, they should at least be balanced with a few larger oysters. I would not order them again. My cousin wasn't particularly impressed with her Wagyu burger, although I have to admit it looked delicious. The crispy potatoes were another letdown. I expected them to be crispy throughout, but only parts of them were crisp while the rest were soft. We asked Janet if that was intentional, and she said that's how they're prepared. Personally, I think crispy potatoes should actually be crispy all over. One thing that caught us off guard was a $10.79 CNF fee that was automatically added to our bill. We were not informed of it beforehand, which was disappointing, and required by law. A heads-up from the restaurant would have been appreciated. Overall, the service was the strongest part of the experience, along with a few standout dishes, but there were enough misses that I would be selective about what I order if I return.

    (3.5/5) We really wanted to love this place, but it ended up being just okay. We came here for a birthday dinner, and unfortunately the biggest miss of the night was the birthday girl's steak. She ordered it medium and it came out very well done. The staff was apologetic and absolutely tried to make it right, but by the time the replacement came out, the rest of us had already finished our meals. It's hard to recover from that, especially when you're celebrating a special occasion. My boyfriend and I shared the balloon bread, a salad, beef carpaccio, and the famous 40-layer lasagna. The balloon bread was definitely the star of the show and something special. The sides that came with it were delicious too. The beef carpaccio was good, the salad was fine but nothing memorable, and the lasagna was enjoyable. That said, I might get my foodie card revoked for this, but I'm kind of a Stouffer's girl. Overall, it was a good meal, but for the price point and being in Vegas, I feel like there are so many amazing dining options that this one didn't quite live up to the hype for us. More than anything, I was disappointed that the birthday girl didn't get to enjoy her dinner with the rest of the table. Not bad by any means, just not a place we'd rush back to on our next Vegas trip.

    Bubble bread and hummus
    Chad P.

    A friend recommended this place. It has great views of the strip and was super busy even on a weekday lunch. They have a lot of crowds coming through for sure! it was good to get a reservation beforehand. Food was great! We had the bubble bread and I had the Chesapeake benedict. Amazing!!! The only negative part of the whole experience was that it took nearly 15 minutes from when we were seated to finally see a waiter. We eventually started staring at any of them coming around to other tables to make sure they didn't forget us. It should not have taken that long.

    Mmm delicious!

    We are joining to say goodbye and wish someone the best! We gather over drinks and food to celebrate life and all the best of luck! We are going fancy, this restaurant is the perfect for celebrating! Come to Paris for dinner and enjoy oneself. We made a reservation, one never knows and sat on the patio. We were able to see the Eiffel Paris Tower all lit up while we toasted under it . What's good truly it's delicious! The menu is primarily high end Italian! It's easy enough to order. For example if you need help, the server is amazing! We orders and everyone shares but our primary dinner was chicken and fettuccine with garlic bread. The bread was the best . It was cooked to perfection! The beef spare ribs! All delicious. The meat falls off the bones! If you were not hungry yet, we have to dessert. The calories don't count! We had these lemon custard puffs. It had raspberry jam and whipped cream along the side . The tiramisu is delicious too. The tiramisu's cake here is not as sweet as most. Highly recommended! Life is sweet and short! Let's make it easy and fun celebrating love and new memories . Thank you to the staff here for making us never forget and remind us of new experiences as we continue our journey of lfe

    Connected to the Paris Hotel, this place has stunning views of the Bellagio's water show, especially if you sit on the patio. Our servers were all very personable, made sure we had everything we needed and that everything came out perfectly. Avocado and burrata toast on a croissant was a great spin on a brunch classic. Cannoli pancakes were absolutely decadent. Pancakes were soft with cannoli cream layered between each pancake. We loved this place we came back for lunch later on the trip! The wagyu French dip was also delicious. Super tender beef with a light crunch from the outside of the roll, and plenty of drippings for dipping. This was my favorite breakfast/brunch place we went to during our short stay on the Strip. A must try for anyone looking for delicious food and tasty drinks at a reasonable price for the enormous portion sizes!

    Friday night dinner at Alexxa's: our party was seated after a few minutes on the terrace in the front, however the table wasn't set up properly (missing cutlery and napkins). Waiter came to ask for water, we chose the sparking water and asked for the extra charge but the waiter ignored us. Second waitress came by minutes later and handed over the menu's. We ordered drinks and appetizers. Please be mindful that the size of a pitcher is really really small so if you have a party of 4, you barely fill up half your glasses. Pizzas were delicious - so the extra stars is solely for the food! Upon receiving the bill, I asked to remorse 'cnf' but the waitress didn't even bother, she just said 'choose your tip and sign' - big no no Location is amazing! But staff is lacking customer service. There are better options - NOT recommended

The only highlights of the meal were the bread basket and the short rib agnolotti, both of which were excellent and lived up to our expectations. To make matters worse, the table next to us brought in a small dog. I'm a dog lover and even take my own dog to pet-friendly places, but unless it's a legitimate service animal, I don't believe it belongs in what's meant to be a fine dining experience. This was clearly not a service animal, and it distracted from what was already a disappointing evening. After so many wonderful experiences here over the years, this was the first time we've left truly disappointed. I sincerely hope this was just an off night, because Scarpetta has always been one of our favorite restaurants in Las Vegas.

We ordered a glass of Barolo and the Dante's Infante cocktail. The cocktail was refreshing and strong. My husband wanted to try wine but there werent many options for wines sold by the glass and there was only one option for Baralos so he ordered that. The Baralo was just average for $30 per glass and it was unfortunate that there weren't more options to choose from. We ordered the Polpo ( octopus) appetizer. The flavors were well balanced and the pureed canellini beans paired well with the octopus but the octopus was too cold. Not sure if it was supposed to be served like but I've never had octopus that cold before and the consistency was a bit harder because of the temperature. For our entrees, we ordered the pappardelle with lobster, scallops and truffle. The pasta was perfectly al dente and amazing. There were 2 beautifully cooked and tender scallops. There were a few garnishes of truffle that were shaved thick enough that I was able to chew into the texture. I wish there were larger pieces as the shaved pieces were small sized in diameter. But overall the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. This was far the best dish. We also ordered the Branzino which I wish I hadn't because there was a very wierd flavor profile.. I ordered it thinking it was going to have crispy skin but the skin was very soggy. It seems they changed the method of cooking the branzino as compared to previous photos uploaded by other yelpers. I was a bit disappointed when the branzino came out because the whole fish was butterflied ( sliced in half with tail in tact) and looked like the skin side had at one point been fried but it was soggy and soaked in the sauce. I was not particularly a fan of the sauce. I tasted a strong flavor profile of cinnamon for some reason even though there was no cinnamon mentioned on the menu. Two of the ingredients listed was guanciale and taragon. One of two ingredients may have been the flavors I tasted which did not pair well with the fish. It ruined the natural flavor of the fish as they overpowered the natural flavor of the branzino. Any time I get a chance to order the Branzino, I am usually satisfied or impressed but have never been disappointed. I think my favorite restaurants where I had exceptionally cooked branzinos were on the Vegas strip. At one of restaurants on the strip which I have ordered numerous times and is a very well known restaurant which I will name nameless ...it was cooked similarly, butterflied, in a buttery lemon sauce but the skin was still crispy. A second restaurant on the strip... the branzino was smoked and roasted on charcoal with a tomato based sauce. I guess I can't help but compare because this restaurant is priced similar to two very popular restaurants on the strip but fell short. Our waiter Diego was great and best personality and made our experience memorable. Overall the best dishe was the handmade pasta. The lack of options for wine by the glass was a bit saddening. The cocktail was unique and strong. But I regret getting the branzino. I am not sure I would go back

    The hype has always been real. The hype remains real. Esther's is very probably the best off-Strip…read morerestaurant in Las Vegas of any kind, and it competes favorably with anything the Strip can put up against it. Along with Monzú, it's the reason "destination Italian" and "off-Strip" can appear seriously in the same sentence. But nobody needs another review to make that point. Anyone with sense has already said the nice things about Esther's, and they were right, and I'd just be adding another voice to a very crowded chorus. So here's my contribution: I've started sneaking in for lunch. And I have a problem. The lunch menu might be better. How the hell did that happen? The chicken parm sando was special. Read that again, because I want you to feel how stupid it sounds. A sandwich. A chicken parm sandwich. In a city where I can eat anything, at any hour, prepared by people with Michelin stars and ego to match, and I'm telling you the thing worth talking about is a chicken parm sandwich. Obviously, go to Esther's. That was never in question. But if you have to pick, maybe go for lunch.

The cocktails were also excellent strong, well balanced, and not watered down. I usually order two cocktails when I go out, but one was more than enough here. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't live up to the hype. My tagliatelle was too dry for my taste. My husband ordered the steak with rigatoni. While the steak was cooked perfectly, the rigatoni was dry and overly salty. The bean sprouts and potatoes were also much too salty. Another downside was the temperature inside the restaurant. It was uncomfortably warm, and both of us were sweating throughout dinner, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, I don't think this restaurant lived up to all the hype. There were a few standout items, but between the dry and salty pasta dishes, the overly salty sides, and the uncomfortable dining room, it's not a place I would return to.

That just doesn't happen that often, so wife and I came - minds and mouths BLOWN AWAY! Cute place WAAY off the Strip but in a strip mall. (reservations needed) PEOPLE: Albino and Erma are the best, with their son also taking care of you. You literally sit five feet from Albino (pic) as he whips out THE BEST ITALIAN CUISINE IN VEGAS! (no caveats) FOOD: Los Olivos salad, sinful bread, super-light calamari, 'made-to-order'(?) lasagana, the lamb (pic), and a shrimp scampi that *stunned* my very culinarily experienced spouse are not to be missed‼ Besides my insane same-day-flights visit, Shar and I also did a w/e in LAS and ate here *both nights*!!

Staff was attentive, welcoming, charismatic which added to my first time dining here. Overall id totally come back. I find it overpriced but its vegas and at least I know itll be tasty food (ex: how is one meatball $10 excluding tax + tip) Free Bread (5/5): Loved the toasted garlic bread!!! Cauliflower & salami came out too but I didnt try it Spicy Rigatoni Vodka + Meatball add-on (4.5/5): Both were delicious. No option to add chicken so i ordered a side of meatballs which is not on the menu ($10 per meatball). For $36, the vodka pasta should come with a protein. Tortellini Ragu (3/5): Loved the ragu sauce & meat, I felt the tortellini was a little too rich but I think thats personal preference. Couldve came with more meat for $38. I wouldnt order again Tiramisu (5/5): Soooo good, definitely recommend. its enough for two people Tip: Make reservations in advance as its very popular. If you dont, you may get lucky and snag a spot at one of the two bars inside like we did!

    We dined at Carbone for my birthday, and because even after all these years reservations are hard…read moreto come by, ours was for 9pm and we were seated closer to 9:25. The restaurant is much larger than meets the eye and we were seated in the small back room with the additional bar. There were quite a few tables open. Service was attentive and professional. We ordered a bottle of wine which they kept chilled and always made sure to refill our glasses as needed. I was a huge fan of the complimentary starters and to be honest I think they were my favorite part of the meal. A member of the staff comes to your table to serve a chunk of parmesan cheese cut right off the block. You also receive a bowl of pickled cauliflower, a beautifully presented salami rose plate, and a basket of 3 types of fresh bread. Our waiter informed us that everything was served family style and meant to be shared, so I found it interesting that they split our order of Spicy Rigatoni Vodka for us. It's one of their most well-known dishes and we really enjoyed it. The Octopus Pizzaiolo was delicious, especially with the inclusion of the crispy potatoes. The thick piece of fish on the Salmon Oreganata was beautiful but the salmon itself lacked a bit of seasoning. They bring around a dessert cart but we opted out as nothing caught our eye and we were pretty full. They brought out a small birthday dessert with a candle, which was delicious and always appreciated.

    This was my first time at this location. I have dined at the Peoria local quite a few times so I…read morewas excited to try this one. We were seated as soon as we walked in. We had reservations at 5pm so it wasn't busy yet. The dining was very nicely furnished. They have about the same amount of seating on the patio as in the dining room with a bar and high top tables in the middle. I asked if the White Truffle Garlic Bread could be made gluten free. I was so happy to hear that they can. I felt like I had died and gone to cheesy heaven.before I developed my wheat allergy I ordered garlic bread anywhere it was in the menu. It's one of my favorite foods. So when I say theirs is quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life, it means something. We ordered family style for the entrees. We ordered the Bolognese Pappardelle, Strozzapreti, Ricotta Cavatelli( subbed gf pasta), Chicken Scarpariello and Short Rib Lumache. They were all absolutely delicious. Dessert did not disappoint either. We ordered the Brookie sundae and the Tiramisu. I couldn't have the Tiramisu but I was told that it was great. The Brookie sundae was a fun dessert. It came with vanilla, pistachio and chocolate gelato, whip and some sort of cake on the bottom. I didn't go all the way down because of my stupid allergy again. The gelatos were all good. It came with a side dish with strawberries and nuts and little chocolate balls. I can't wait to go back again. Next time I'll tell the rest of the table to get their own garlic bread so I don't have to share mine. I'll have dreams about that bread. So heavenly!!!!

Out of everything we ordered, my favorites were the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Pesto, and the Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey. The Chicken Pesto was a little more lemony than I expected, but I would still order it again because it was very good. The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka had the perfect amount of spice not too spicy, but enough to give it great flavor. The Strozzapreti and White Truffle Garlic Bread were not my personal favorites, but my family really enjoyed both of them. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were great, and I would definitely come back.
