My last…read moreexperience left a pretty bad taste in my mouth after getting hustled last year off the $40 something cajun pasta, which by the way, cost almost as much as the entire meal during my last visit which is crazy. Anyway, last Friday after the Sphere my friends and I ordered sliders, nachos, wings, chicken tenders, and mozzarella cheese sticks for a very late night meal which also turned out to be happy hour which was a very nice surprise. All of this for $56 by the way. The cajun pasta I ordered last year was $40 ALONE and it was sooooo incredibly MID. Sure, it was only this price because we happened to pop in during happy hour, but still. I would gladly order a variety of different things I can pick at versus one mediocre dish. The wings, chicken tenders, and mozzarella cheese sticks were tasty. I'm not a chicken tender guy, but wow, these were actually really good! The sliders were fine. A bit dry, but other than that, definitely a solid "good." Service was excellent and same fun ambiance/experience as last time. I will definitely keep Peppermill in the rotation moving forward if I ever need a late night bite close by!

Usually it's just to fly out of Las Vegas for a work trip. This time though, I was in area for the US Post office. Looking for nearby places to eat, I saw that Smoke & Fire was only 10 minutes away! My husband and I stopped by for dinner around 3:30 P.M on a Friday at Smoke & Fire. The restaurant is located near South Pecos Road and East Russell Road. There was plenty of parking spots available. As I walked inside the restaurant, a team member had greeted us and let us know that it was open seating. There were only a few other customers inside the restaurant at the time we had dinner. There was plenty of tables inside and outside the restaurant though! TVs were situated throughout the restaurant. There was a variety of sports games playing. When we sat at our table, the team member brought over menus and asked if we'd like anything to drink while we looked through the menu. She also went through any dietary restrictions and some of their highlights at the restaurant, specifically, Smoke & Fire is known for their blueberry chicken sandwich. There are other options on their menu though, like BBQ items! Meat platters: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Ribs, Hot Links, smoked Chicken Quarters. Sandwiches: Chicken Sandwiches, Brisket Sandwich, Donut Smashed Burger (Seasonal), Sliders Chicken and Waffles, Street Style Tacos, Chicken Tenders and more! After looking through the menu, we ultimately decided on the following 3 Meat Platter: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Mac N Cheese/Sweet Potato Tots The World Famous Blueberry Chicken Sandwich: Pepper Jack Cheese, Housemade Blueberry Jam, blueberry aioli, and Jalapeno. The service was super quick. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes for our meal. It was nice that our meal was served in to go containers as well! The highlight of the meal was the blueberry chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and tender. The blueberry aioli and the jam was scrumptious. This was a first time having a sandwich like this before! I would come back to Smoke & Fire just to get the sandwich. The BBQ pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket was good. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the sweet potato tots though! I don't normally see sweet potato tots so I just had to try it out! They were super crispy and packed with flavor. The food was yummy here and the service was fantastic! If I'm in the area again, I would stop by Smoke & Fire to have another meal. I think next time though, I am going to have to try out their pulled pork burger!

My husband is definitely more of a foodie and I'm happy to try new things but usually stick to what I know. We ended up doing the Chefs Tasting menu to try a little bit of everything and wow! The staff was kind but our waitress was 10/10 on her own! Super attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, our water glasses were always full and she was incredibly kind. The overall vibe of the place was intimate with the darker lighting, music was on but not blaring and even with the tables a little closer together I felt like you were still able to have privacy. The oysters were amazing! One was chilled and one was cooked. My favorite was the chilled and my husbands favorite was the cooked. I had never had oysters before and am now a huge fan! We added the Foie Gras to our menu and were blown away by how good it was! First time trying it, all the rave about Foie Gras is true! The snapper tostada is another highlight for us! So fresh and delicious and all the flavors went together incredibly well. Overall we really enjoyed our dining experience, trying new things and will definitely be back whenever we come out this way again.

For two people, our bill came to $420, which set very high expectations. To make matters more disappointing, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill, even though we were only a party of two. I didn't notice anything indicating that beforehand. Based on our experience, I felt the service was closer to 15% than 20%. The biggest issue was that almost every dish was overly salty. Oxtail Hummus - Probably our favorite dish. The hummus itself was flavorful and wasn't overly salty, but the naan was just okay. I was hoping for more texture with crispy edges. Bánh Cuốn - I appreciated the creativity of the dish, but the rice roll was surprisingly hard and chewy in the center when bánh cuốn should be soft throughout. The sauce was also very salty. Wood Fired Lumina Lamb - The lamb itself was good, but the nước chấm was extremely salty. Spanish Octopus - The octopus was cooked well, but again, it was overly salty. Snapper Tostada - Good, but nothing particularly memorable or unique flavor-wise. Rabbit Dan Dan Paccheri - I loved the perfectly al dente pasta, but the sausage was far too salty. Coal Roasted Dry-Aged Dorade - The crispy skin was excellent, but overall the dish didn't wow me. Oysters - The raw oysters had interesting flavors but leaned salty. The grilled oyster was my favorite of the oyster selections. The staff was genuinely friendly, and I appreciated that they were attentive about clearing and replacing our plates throughout the meal. However, the pacing of the meal really slowed down halfway through. We were there for almost two hours, and our dessert took at least 20 minutes to arrive. In fact, our check was brought to the table before our dessert, which felt odd. Las Vegas has an incredible dining scene with so many amazing restaurants. For a meal that cost $420 for two people, I expected something memorable. Instead, most of the dishes were overwhelmingly salty, the pacing was slow, and the overall experience simply didn't justify the price. I really wanted to love this place but I left feeling disappointed.

If you're looking for the best Italian food in Las Vegas, stop searching and go to Esther's…read moreKitchen. We've been coming to Vegas for years and this is, without question, the best Italian meal we've had here. From the moment the house-made sourdough bread hit the table, we knew we were in for something special, and every single dish that followed exceeded our expectations. We started with the charcuterie board, and it completely blew us away. Even my daughter's simple buttered spaghetti was incredible. Because the pasta is house-made, you could immediately taste the quality. After that first bite, we couldn't wait for everything else to arrive. The salads, the entrées, the desserts, the wine selection--every single thing was top-tier. Rachel even suggested the strawberry lemonade for our daughter, and it was absolutely perfect. Speaking of Rachel, she made an already amazing meal even better. Her knowledge of the menu, thoughtful recommendations, genuine hospitality, and attention to detail made us feel incredibly well taken care of. She struck that perfect balance of being attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and her passion for the restaurant really showed. It's rare for a restaurant to exceed already high expectations, but Esther's Kitchen did exactly that. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and an experience we'll be talking about for a long time. This has officially become our new go-to spot every time we're in Las Vegas. Pro tip: Do yourself a favor and save room for the chocolate coconut dessert. It's a stunning chocolate shell shaped like a coconut, filled with ice cream and fresh mango, and it was hands down one of the best desserts we've ever had. It's the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.

The food was a mixed bag: * **Mussels:** Very good. * **Pizza:** Great flavor. * **Cheese & Butter Pasta:** Disappointing, very dry like it sat in the window to long. Great pizza and mussels, but the absent bar service and long wait for open seats ruined the night.

Throughout our meal she stayed attentive. I ordered the full GRAND COBB SALAD with chicken, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, bleu cheese, and grated egg. Boy oh boy was it good! Fresh ingredients with the delicious and tangy Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette on the side (my request)! It's enough for 2 meals. The sourdough bread in a basket fulfilled my craving for a carb. Warm and cut into thick slices with butter on the side paired well with the salad.

Seating was quick, water refills infrequent, service checked in often until food dropped. Compatriots had ordered a double smash cheeseburger and a southwest chicken salad. I had gotten the slow roasted beets, and the house green salad. Nothing really wowed in this case. I'd say I like the fries and the slow roasted beets. The cream sauce balanced the beets well with occasional nuts for texture. The house green salad was more lettuce than anything else. The southwest chicken salad, the meat was a bit dry. Still was an easy meal and simple to plan around. Worked well in a pinch.

The waitstaff were dressed very casual, jeans and t-shirt casual. Although the food is upscale, everything else about this place seems very casual diner like. We could even see most of the work going on in the small kitchen. Mostly shareable plates... Our table chose the deviled eggs with caviar - these were a hit! Dynamite shrimp, most at the table liked these, they were spicy and the flavor was decent, but I just felt like the sauce made the breading a bit soggy and it wasn't a favorite of mine. Pork Belly - This had a buffalo sauce on it, which I wasn't too excited about at first, but it worked better than I expected. Wish it was just a little crispier but it was tender and I enjoyed it. Oxtail risotto - this one had mixed reviews from the table, I really enjoyed it. The flavor was good. There's only a small amount of meat and it's shredded into the risotto. Overall the consistency was a little weird, very thick and almost sticky/dry, plus the dark color. They had a steak on the menu and the flavor was great, one of the pricier menu items but it was a good share. My wife ordered a burger without the bun. She said the patty was well over-cooked and so it was pretty dry. They don't offer gluten-free buns or bread - bummer. The service was generally prompt, but seemed uncoordinated at times. For example, it seemed our waitress was also handling a very large party outside on the patio, and randomly the hostess would bring us a drink refill (hostess stand was right beside our table). That's good in a way, they are all a team, but she also picked up my plate and silverware after only the first appetizer - mind you they bring everything out as it's ready, so don't expect the whole table to eat together, you are expected to share! When I asked if she could replace my silverware, she grabbed a fork and knife and handed to me, but they weren't rolled in a napkin or anything, just barehanded me some silverware... anyway, I thought that was odd. Overall, the food had some bright spots and perhaps worth a lunch if you are downtown. I probably wouldn't seek it out again, but I'm not mad about the meal we had either.
