    Tapas lover listen.... If you want to have some nice time late night. Pull your chair and grab some bites at Casa De Raku. Food are so flavorful, must order items Foie Gras Terrine, Wagyu Steak, Croqueta and I was lucky that they had my favorite oyster "Fat Bastard" which large and briny. Received very friendly and attentive from my chef Nori and server at the bar. You can watch them make all the magic happen at the bar. Picture menu will help you order with confidence! Best time to drop by... they happy hour time from 6pm to 9pm. Make sure you order Albarino wine since it paired so well with most dishes here. Definitely will go back to try more items. Bathroom so unique. You must check it out ha! Love love this place

    We were planning to have dinner at another place in this strip mall plaza when we saw this place at our old favorite Sweets Raku spot and decided to give it a try instead and we were both glad we did. Same cozy space as before but redecorated to have that Spanish bar ambiance. Service was excellent and the food was one of the best tapas we've had in awhile. They have a happy hour menu Tuesday thru Saturday from 6p-9p and we tried every item on it and everything was amazing including the $5 house wines. The spanish octopus was so tender and full of flavor and the bacon wrapped dates were excellent. The basque cheesecake and flan were a great end to this meal. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

    2nd time here. This place is perfect for drinks and small bites. Small intimate restaurant with about 10 bar seats and 3 counter tables. The happy hour menu includes 7 small plates and a few wine and beer all for $5 each. A good place to hang out with a small group of friends.

    This was a delightful dinner experience. The service from chef was amazing. Love the open prep area so enjoy the counter seating. So on yo the food review. 1. Pan con Tomate with Jamon; must have. Delicious, fine cut tasty meat, with cheese on bread with olive oil. 2. Mini meat and cheese plate, must have. The honey is raw, still with a honeycomb. Goes well with the meat, cheese and olive oil. 3. Japanese Vaca wagyu 8oz; a must. Perfect amount of fat ; meat is tender nicely seasoned. Make sure medium rare. 4. Japanese Sangria. Plum wine flavored and tasty, loved it. 5. Seafood paella; like any paella it takes a while to prepare. Was not a fan of it. It was a bit bland and dry. But you can just a bit of salt to season it. 6. Beet salad; must have. Love the tender beets with who knows the sauce and dressing. Hints: 1.sit on the counter /bar to get the full experience. 2. The chef made recommendations after ordering and it was spot on. Take the chef's advice. 3. Happy hour is from 6-9pm and delicious options starting at $5.

    Very nice place. Staff was very polite and attentive. All the dishes were on point and worth the wait. Of all the restaurants I've been to, I have to say they have the coolest and cleanest bathroom. Will definitely be back in the near future.

    Iscah took great care of us. The food, hospitality, and ambiance were unmatched. The experience was truly curated and they even have darts.

    Craving pintxos and Txakoli!!! Needing a return trip to San Sebastián!!! Glad we have a Spanish tapas place in Vegas that satisfies the cravings. Not mad on taking over Sweets Raku (ok maybe a little). Very warm and cozy place. Service was great though out. People still mistake the place as Raku and Sweets Raku. Love to innovative Spanish tapas. The pintxos abd tapas were really good. Each has great flavors that brings me back to Spain. We tried most of the menu. We like almost everything we ate except the green mussels. Some of our favorites are the pintxos- foie gras, tomato and jamon, croquettas, and pulpos They have a selection of Spanish wine. Love my Txokoli- sparking dry white wine. Our waitress was trying to pour it locals in the Basque region in Spain. Make room for dessert- the basque cheesecake was good but not close to La Vina but will do. Sure do miss Sweets Raku. lol Will definitely come back and try the rest of the menu. FYI. They still have the same bathroom as sweets Raku.

    So sad to see A Different Beast go! I saw that they've been open for quite a while now, but…read moreunfortunately I only recently discovered them a few months ago after seeing an Instagram reel. This spot isn't located in the best plaza as parking can be really tight due to how small it is. I initially came here with a few friends and did the Suave menu ($55 per person) because we couldn't decide whether to splurge or not, but was open to coming back if we enjoyed it. Although the menu is AYCE, for a first time experience, it was recommended to go down the list like a tasting menu. After going through the entire menu with the remaining time you have, you can re-order any of your favorites that you tried. Service was very quick and attentive. Every item came out in a timely manner to ensure that no time is lost! My favorites were the Spring Peas and Pulpo. A Different Beast is honestly a perfect date night or a girl's night out spot. My first experience was so stellar that I came back to try the Premio menu ($65 per person). Luckily when I came back, a few items had changed, but majority was the same. Off of this menu, my absolute all time favorite has to be the Foie Gras!! Sooo melt-in-your-mouth-buttery! It makes sense why it's a one time order only, sadly. My 2nd time visiting wasn't as mind blowing due to already knowing what to expect but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. A Different Beast is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience and I wish there were more AYCE tapas places like this!

    Service was excellent and the price is so good for this type of food and venue. The food came out…read morereally fast and I love being able to taste all the different brushes in smaller bites. We chose the highest price prix fixe set of $65, which includes one Foie gras tapas. This was my favorite one. My other favorites would be the Txaka, which is a crab salad, Spring Peas, Scallop Ceviche, and the Iberico Jamon Bellota. Least favorite were the Atun y Tomate and Morcilla con huevos de Codorniz (blood sausage). I would given it 5 stars but the chef uses small toast rounds for almost every dish. I guess this makes you full but it became repetitive and sometimes overpowered the actual dish.

Firefly has been on my mind for a couple of months and I decided to book a reservation here at their southwest location for our monthly date night. They also have another location on Paradise Road. Through Yelp, I made a reservation for 6/20/26 at 7:30pm. I guess a reservation wasn't really necessary because it wasn't busy when we showed up and there were plenty of open tables available. It did start getting a little packed towards the end of our visit, though. Tucked away in the back of the restaurant is a small, cozy bar and more regular seating. We started off with some cocktails. I got myself a La Paloma and my LTP got the Fly Tai (possible pun on Mai Tai?). The La Paloma was very fruity, had a salty orange rim, and a dried orange slice on top. The Fly Tai was also fruity and had a dried rosé on top of its' frothy texture. We were also given complimentary bread along with a scoop of butter. Next, we ordered the tapas. We weren't 100% sure how big they were going to be, so we decided on one to share, one for me, and one for him. We ordered the following; Serrano Sliders, Manchego Mac and Cheese, and Tortillas a la Española. The Serrano Sliders came with crispy onions on the side that you can put on by yourself. I'm not a big meat person anymore but these sliders were totally delicious! The Manchego Mac and Cheese was excellent and probably one of the best mac and cheese dishes I've had in a long time. The Tortillas a la Española had a very colorful orange sauce drizzled on them and they were basically like cubed mashed potatoes. The portions on each tapa were very decent and weren't too big for us, so we ended up sharing all three of them due to their size. I loved everything about this place, especially the mac and cheese. The ambiance that had perfect date night feel to it and the service was excellent from beginning to end. I would love to come back again!

The dining room is dim and intimate but not dark. Definitely a mood. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. The sommelier was very knowledgeable with his recommendations with the wine we all could enjoy for the whole table. Our server Eric was excellent! His energy was amazing. Among the dishes we tried were the bread with ricotta, the patatas bravas(thin sliced potatoes pressed and cut into long logs) the dry aged iberico(one of the best bites of the night) the croquettes with truffle and iberico. For mains we all shared the steak frites, short rib pasta, seafood risotto, the dry aged pork(everyone's favorite) and the short rib and potatoes (super tender). As for dessert, the pistachio tiramisu was yummy but the deconstructed key lime pie is a must. This place is such a gem in the southwest Las Vegas area and as much as I want to gatekeep it, you guys have to come and try it. They are for sure getting their Michelin star next year

We did the Anima Experience and it was such a memorable dining experience from start to finish. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We enjoyed the dry-aged carpaccio, chicory salad, seada with jamón, bucatini, rigatoni, pan-roasted cod, and braised short rib. Everything had its own unique flavors and presentation, and the handmade pastas were definitely a highlight. Dessert was the perfect ending -- the ginger and passionfruit crème brûlée was absolutely delicious! Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt upscale but still warm and inviting, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully put together. It's easy to see why Anima by EDO is now being recognized by the MICHELIN Guide. Definitely a restaurant I would recommend for a special dinner, date night, or anyone looking for a unique dining experience off the Strip. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back and try more from their menu!

I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak!

I did try the cooked pieces and it was super limey, very limey and comes with blue tortilla chips Amado Arepas $18 (5/5) This comes with 2 pieces but we added on a 3rd one so we can get get one ($9 each). It was a small bite, but packed a punch with a yummy tender braised short ribs inside and crunch exterior Entrees: American Wagyu $185 (4/5) 16oz Black Grace Rosewood NY Stripe. It was a little more charred not the outside, but it was presented very nicely and sliced up for us. A little more chewy than your normal Wagyu or maybe because it's also a NY cut. It comes with 3 dipping sauces and thinly Fried string onions. Drinks: Living my best life, burning passion (it was really burning on fire), and palomita! They were all tasty and fun! And we also got a free fruity birthday shot! Yay! Desserts: Flaming Skull $38 (5/5) Ok if you don't have diabetes, cuz it's all SUGA, then order this. The skull is engulf with rum and lit up in flames so it melts. Then the oogey chocolate warm skull cake you can dip and eat with the horchata ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and candied puff rice. So Ded I mean it. They also gave me another small cake and candle with birthday card! They also charge an automatic 18% for any part size so just beware and ck your receipt. Overall dinner was delicious and we all left super happy and full. I would definitely come back to try more dishes next time I'm in Vegas!

We have dined there in the past and have always sat at a table but we came in on a whim and there was only bar seating, which was fine. But the girl bartender (Annie??) was extremely mean and rude to us for some reason. We were polite, didn't complain about anything, didn't ask to modify our food at all and left over 20% gratuity.

The guy with the braids and Frank were awesome and the Sommelier was really cool and was passionate about his wine list. My fiancé and I are both industry vets and we understand that sometimes you aren't always in the best mood but this felt oddly personal. Again, we have no idea what we did wrong.

Oysters: we did half and half of both options and they were both great and super unique. Banh Cuon: Usually made with pork, they use duck and it is awesome. The sauce should be bottled. Octopus: Perfection on a plate. Passionfruit dessert: So, so good. Perfect way to end dinner after some spicy elements in the food. Pandan cocktail: One of the better drinks I've ever had. We had more food but these are the items I can remember off of the top of my head. This was from about a month ago but my Yelp account was hijacked and I haven't been able to get it back yet and had to make a new one . So overall everything was amazing except for that one issue.
