    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.

    Fideua - Seafood paella with Fideua

    Fideua

    4.9(115 reviews)

    Holy... where do I even start?…read more A friend highly recommended this place, so I went with high expectations. Somehow, Fideua still managed to exceed every one of them. A few tips if it's your first visit: 1. Order from their pre-order menu (at least 24 hours in advance). 2. Come HUNGRY. Seriously. 3. Set aside 1.5-2.5 hours to enjoy the full experience. 4. Save room for dessert. What I ordered: - Sautéed Shrimp, Calamari & Octopus (Sepa/Gambas/Pulpo al Ajillo) - Sea Bass Oven-Cooked in a Salt Crust - Ox Tail (Rabo de Toro) - Chef's Signature Seafood Fideuà - Warm Bread with Spanish-Style Aioli - Chef's Choice Dessert (Surtido de Postres) I would order every single one of these again without hesitation. Fideua is a small husband/wife restaurant about 10-15 minutes off the Las Vegas Strip, by Head Chef Farman and Sous Chef Barbara. Barbara makes the desserts in-house, so the selection is limited.. but that's exactly why they're so good. Beautifully balanced, not overly sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. One tip: don't finish the aioli with the bread. Save it for the sea bass, ox tail, and paella/fideua. You'll thank me later. This was one of the best meals I've had in Las Vegas. What I loved most was how authentic everything felt. The ingredients are imported from Spain, and nothing tasted "Americanized". The food, service, and hospitality were all exceptional. I've eaten at many José Andrés restaurants across different cities, and while I enjoy them, they're much more modern fusion. Fideua delivers something much closer to what you'd actually experience in Spain, and that's what makes it so special. Honestly, I haven't had a Spanish meal this authentic even in Los Angeles. There are a couple good ones but not THIS good. The pricing is also incredibly fair. To get this level of quality on the Strip, you'd easily pay two to three times more.. and even then, I doubt the food would taste better. If you can, book an earlier timing so you'll have the chance to chat with Farman & Barbara and his culinary journey. His warmth, curiosity, and passion shine through not only in conversation but in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. I already can't wait to come back in a few months to try other dishes on the menu.

We checked out the reviews and saw overall it has good reviews. While the location wasn't somewhere I'd usually visit (the only reason why I didn't give 5 stars). I am glad that we decided to come give it a try. The paella is was good and the aioli was great! And the restaurant itself felt fun and home-y. The owner and his wife were extremely hospitable and their service was great! Usually need a reservation here but glad we were able to get in without one.

Here in the Las Vegas Valley, I can count the few restaurants that have radiated this level of warmth, heart, and care on just one hand. And Rang's Cocina Moderne is right there on top. Benedict was very conversational and helped us navigate his favorites on the menu. His recommendations were all stellar, and included a collaboration ale from overseas that I absolutely enjoyed!

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.

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.

They only have two seatings per night with I believe 9 to 12 seats (officially 9, but there were definitely more than 9 people when we sat down) at a bar-style curved table. So it's a very exclusive fine dining experience. The food itself was unlike any tasting menu I've had so far. It's billed as Spanish tapas, but it is so much more than that.

Not just that, but everyone here is super nice. Had some great conversations with the chefs. This was definitely one of the great dining experiences I have had this year.

The latter two are vegetarian and I wanted to go for a vegetarian friendly restaurant just for them. The olive oil tasting was my idea so I also had to choose the restaurant. My LTP and I actually went to a different tapas restaurant about a month ago and we loved it. So I wanted to try one of these again. Our tasting was scheduled to start at 6:00pm and I booked a reservation for 4:00pm through OpenTable. They have a very spacious patio, but due to the excessive heat warning in place at the time, we decided to dine inside. I didn't look at their hours of operation beforehand, so when we walked in, it was empty. Then I noticed that they open at 4:00pm on Saturday's and we were literally the first customers inside. We got a spacious table near the back of the restaurant, where our waiter for the day was Zach. He explained to us that all their food on the menu is based out of Spain, especially the paella, which takes about 40 minutes to cook and is meant to serve about two-four people. We started off with some drinks, where I got the mango margarita, my LTP and my dad respectively got the Atomic Duck and the El Pato Loco Mexican Lager from Able Baker, and my mom and my best friend's mom and stepdad shared a bottle of Chardonnay. While the margarita was on a bit of the sweet side compared to other margaritas I've had, it was still really good and it had a really fruity taste to it. We ordered the following and all six of us shared most of them; short rib pintxo, pork belly pave, patatas bravas, ole mis croquetas, iberico dates, and chicken tinga/braise short rib empanadas. Initially, I ordered just the chicken tinga for myself and my LTP was supposed to get the braise short rib, but my plate had chicken tinga and braise short rib together. That was ok, though, because both the chicken and short rib were absolutely delicious. The short rib pintxo came on a stick, with the rib falling off the stick as I took the first bite out of it. The pork belly pave was cooked perfectly. The patatas brava were spicy, but I would say 'good' spicy. The croquetas were overall one of my favorites; when I sliced it down the middle with my fork, the mashed potato filling spilled out of it. Hands down, Tres was a fantastic restaurant. The portions weren't too big or too small and everything here was so good. Would love to sit on their patio when the weather becomes cooler!
