    Opened in 2018, with Anima by EDO debuting in early 2022 and since a JBFA Semifinalist, EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine remains Las Vegas' most exciting Restaurant thanks to its unrivaled ability to look backwards while at the same time pushing boundaries rarely challenged in Southern Nevada. Inspired by Catalonian traditions, Chef Oscar Amador's upbringing in Barcelona gifting him with a respect for diverse Ingredients and a gift for crafting poignant bites that highlight rather than hide them, it was as a party of two that guests were accommodated, Chef Oscar himself charged with creating a Menu Degustacion including both regularly offered items and nightly inspirations. An acronym for "Extra Day Off," though EDO itself is open from 5pm until 9pm daily, it was by 5:30pm that things were underway quickly with guests enjoying drinks alongside vibrant Gazpacho as well as housemade Bread with Anchovies and the best Spanish Pork in town. Starting Seafood-centric as usual, new Oyster and Scallop preparations vibrant with acid before its refreshing linger, Bluefin Tuna Tostadas travel north to Mexico before classic Bikini, Tarte Flambé and Patatas Bravas. Always exploring new ideas, Oscar and Roberto's La Loba recently debuted in Seattle, the "Paju Taco" pays tribute to a Pacific Northwest bite with candied Seaweed around Rice and Short Rib before Octopus & Kaluga Caviar kissed by Chef's take on Tapatío. Happy to see off-cuts in a city dominated by Steakhouses serving domestic Wagyu at Japanese A5 prices savories concluded with Pork Cheek in Curry and Kimchi Crab Cakes before a seasonal Sorbet and Roberto's family-recipe Flan. At the end of September EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine will transition to something new and exciting while Oscar and Roberto expand their reach east of Las Vegas Blvd. Though I may just be one voice, after 21 meals at EDO I'll nonetheless say Sin City has never had a better Restaurant in the global sense. I'll remember every visit fondly, especially those where I introduced new people to the sort of high-concept cooking people travel for. If you haven't been, now's the time to fix that, If you have, here's at least 15 reasons to go back before the change.

    Had high expectations for the place due to all of the spectacular reviews. I love tapas and previously loved to go to Firefly whenever we are in town. Decided to switch it up a bit and come here instead. The space is fairly small, in the middle of a strip mall. The decor is beautiful and it's cozy. We opted to do a la carte as we had a pretty big lunch. First of all, the drinks were very good and strong, love the different variety of G&Ts. The bread was just ok, and the seafood rice was really really salty. I was very disappointed with that dish. The only highlight was the bikini, I know a lot of people talk about how thin it is, but I thought it was perfect. Service was great. However, given the plethora of options in this town, it just didn't wow me.

    We tried Anima first, and it was amazing, so we had to try EDO. In my opinion, I liked Anima better, but both were amazing! When we were seated we got Watermelon gazpacho as an amuse bouche and it was amazing. Wanted a whole bowl of it! Ordered a lot of stuff off the menu, and everything was very good! Blue crab Croquettes Empenand oysters Bravas Caviar and egg It's nice inside but small, reservations really hard to get. Parking in the lot is atrocious, so leave some time to secure a spot during peak hours

    Super thin

    Nice place for a date with the dim lights. Food was yummy enough to have me come back even if there was some acidity missing, creative flavors $94? Before tax and tip for 4 items and I am pleasantly full ================== Bikini - amazing. Super thin and some crunch finished with the honey was a nice sweet and salty Caesar croquettes - yummy and cheese was slightly strong smelling, but wish the texture inside was a bit stiffer and not as gooey. Also wish this had a little acid Green tartare - nice and refreshing, easy to eat but also would have preferred a touch more acidity Chicken - same as the others LOL comforting, but needs some acid Gazpacho - cold and yummy, flavorful Service Great! Our water was filled multiple times and everything came out in a timely manner. We got checked up on multiple times without asking.

    Olive oil coca bread

    4.5 This is a pretty cool tapas spot with Asian influences fusioned in. For the price ($90 base without tax tip) def one of the best value tasting menus. Everything was delicious and service was really great. If you're eating by yourself they can push it out as fast as you can eat it. I finished my meal in about an hr which works for me cause I didn't particularly want then to drag it out. Particularly loved the divorced scallops, the pork cheeks, Txangurro (not included in tasting menu), the lobster arrozz melosso (supplement), and the olive oil bread (the sauces were so good and unique) Overall, don't hesitate to give this spot a try. I'll def be back to try their other dishes as well as their sister restaurant.

    Delicious tasting menu done 12/29/2024 Food was well timed and well seasoned. Olive oil bread was a great start with the gazpacho. Seafood tostada was a big hit. I really enjoyed the quality of the ahi tuna and the tender octopus. Cocktails were tasty, but a bit sweet for our party's preference. Highly recommend.

    Edo'ld Fashion & Smokin Out The Window
    Ashley B.

    Sorry in advance but this place deserves a long review. Edo Gastro has been on my list since last year & we finally decided to go for a birthday celebration. We started with the Txangurro, 30-Day Dry Aged Striploin Carpaccio, and the Bikini. For drinks, we had the Smokin' Out the Window and Edo'ld Fashion. The Carpaccio & Txangurro really set the tone for how the rest of the night was going to be. For entrees, we ordered the Wagyu Entraña & Arroz Meloso con Uni. To be honest, the Wagyu was not up to par. I'd skip that and order something else. However It might sound corny, but it's been a while since I've had a dish that made me smile with every bite. The Arroz Meloso did exactly that. The Uni mixed into the bamba rice with bites of octopus and that white sauce (still no clue what it was) was perfect. For desserts, we ordered Chocolate Cremoso and Flan, paired it with the Carajillo and Midnight Coffee Run drinks. I expected the Flan to taste like the usual I've had, but the lemon curd on the side made a huge difference. The staff even surprised my bf with a candle on it, which was super sweet! One thing I loved was that every time a dish came out, the servers explained what it was. Oh & you can also order a round of beers for the kitchen staff to compliment them ! The venue itself is intimate so it's perfect for date night. We're already planning on coming back to do their Tasting Menu & I heard the menu changes (not sure how often) but I'm excited to see what Chef Edo has in store.

    Aloha, we're back in LV and had to return to Edo GTW. Still my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas and you know we eat at amazing places. Our 3rd tapas bar this trip including JA Bazzar Mar and ADB. Edo by far the best. We had the pre fixe and added on everything else. You've got to come here. See my pictures. Enjoy!

    Our first time here and it was quite an experience! I believe we had special treatment bc someone knew the chef. Which, I'm not complaining about! Honestly we had a special menu, so I can't even describe what we had. Just know this place is delicious and you should try it !

    Octopus with tamarind mole
    Liz J.

    Wow! The best meal we had in Vegas! The food was amazing, each tapas brought me back to when I was traveling in Spain. The service was impeccable. Servers were very polite and attentive. We had: - Peruvian scallops (amazing flavor combos, so unexpected) - croquetas (creamy, crunchy and delish) - bravas potatoes (so crispy and amazing, aioli was so good. We got 2 orders of it) - bikini (crispy and sweet) - Spanish octopus (amazing tamarind mole don't hesitate to get this it was cooked perfectly) - Kurobata pork cheek (so fork tender the curry sauce was so good) Don't wait! If you're looking for a good meal come here!

    A definite yes to this restaurant!! Wow! The food was absolutely amazing. As a newbie, we tried the chefs tasting menu. Tapas style, small plates, imaginative, gourmet, fulfilling. We went with my brother who was visiting for the holidays and we both enjoy cooking a lot. I looked over at him at one point as he took a bite of the first offering and he looked as though he was going to cry from happiness. The service was absolutely great, the waiters were there to clear your plates for the next round but did not hover. The restaurant is in a very busy strip mall surrounded by other eateries and bars so parking may be a bit hard. Highly highly recommend Edos!!

    Love the ambiance, it's like being whisked to Spain!
    Trisdon M.

    The food, service, ambiance, and overall experience here are absolutely outstanding. Made a reservation easily on their website and was seated immediately upon arrival. The staff is all very friendly, but there was a bit of a wait, about 5-10 minutes after being seated before being served. I tried the tasting menu and it was about 9 bites of heaven. They had to make some substitutions but all of it was still out of this world. Definitely go for the melt in your mouth Iberico add-on as it was so incredibly delicious. The bread was freshly baked with a crispy crust and fluffy inside and served with an assortment of delicious sauces. The scallops were also awesome with one having a bit of heat and the other having a lovely sweet and savory profile. The shrimp and crab ensaladilla was packed with flavor and had just a little heat on the finish. The texture was incredible. The seafood tostada had guacamole, 7 different seafoods, and a delicious savory sauce that were a few of the best bites of the night. It was incredible! The housemade sausage and potato and egg were both delightful, and the fried chicken with aioli and caviar is the stuff dreams are made of. The pork cheeks were a close second as they were melt in your mouth tender with a savory sauce and soft potatoes, topped with peppers. The strawberry sorbet and popcorn mousse were the perfect finish. I also had a couple glasses of wine to include the Albarino and a substitute for Cava (they only had Rosé Cava available, which I don't prefer). Both were great and average about $15 a glass. Overall for about $100 the tasting was a great time and worth the price. I left full and happy. I would definitely recommend giving them a try. I want to come back and try the black cod, the bravas potatoes, the lobster arroz meloso and the wagyu hangar steak. The carpaccio also looks divine. Can't wait to come back!

    Edo Gastro Tapa is a cozy high quality unique Tapas Restaurant. You can order a la carte or take advantage of the chefs tasting menus. The best deal is for two to share a regular tasting menu and a vegetarian tasting menu. This is a very small restaurant so reservations are recommended. We shared the regular tasting menu and the vegetarian tasting menus. Nearly every plate was amazing. All the plates were very detailed and we had so much variety. Even the potatoes bravos wasn't just potatoes....instead they were a million layers of potatoes.....They even had add on truffle options. We enjoyed everything. A couple of the plates that popped a little more was the green tartare, the summer salad, the not tiramisu, the wagyu beef pastrami and the mushroom risotto. Service was amazing. They were all friendly, worked efficiently as a team too. This is among one of the best restaurants to go to in Las Vegas!

    Ask the Community - Edo Gastro Tapas And Wine

    Does EDO have a bar if you are eating alone?

    Hello Allan, thank you for your question. We don’t have a bar at this location. We have tables available that are perfect for 1 or 2 people.

    Is this friendly for gluten-free? I need to find restaurants I can take people with celiac to.

    Hello, thank you for reaching out. We have many gluten-free options. We frequently take care of people with Celiac.

    Is there anything for kids to eat?

    No. They are so busy there are no special requests.

    Is there a flamenco dancer?

    Thank you for your question. We don’t have any live entertainment.

    Is the tasting menu available for a solo diner?

    Yes. I believe so since each person is charged a flat rate for the wine pairing dinners. I'd call Joe who handles the wine pairing dinners and ask. They are so nice at Anima Edo. I know you'll have a great experience.

    I would love to have my birthday at your restaurant but it will be a group of 18 on a Friday night . Is that possible?

    It's a smaller place so you would have to make reservations. They have capability to fit 18. If you do the sampling menu everyone at the table has to do it, I believe.

    Do you serve paella?

    Yes, Chef can always make paella for 2. He usually has short ribs, seafood or vegetarian.

    What time is happy hour and do you have a special menu for it?

    Hello from EDO, thank you for your question. We have a very small room, so we run a short happy hour only. It is currently available Mon-Fri from 5-6pm and it includes half priced cocktail of the day, sangria, Stella Artois, Moscow mule and selected… 

    If young children attend with parents taking part in the testing menu is the charge the same for the children?

    Hello from EDO, thank you for your question. Children don’t have to participate on the tasting menu. Only the adults. You may order a la carte for the children.

    Are tasting menus available all the time?

    Thank you for your question. Yes, it is always available.

    Do you have any outdoor seating?

    Thank you for your question. We only have indoor dining at EDO.

    How late do they stay open? We have a reservation for 8:45, but yelp says it closes at 9...

    Hello, thank you for your question. We stop seating at 9pm, but we will continue to serve until we are done. As long as you get here at 9pm or earlier, no one will rush you. Thank you!

    How many people will the Suckling Pig feed?

    Our whole suckling pig is enough for 6-8ppl. The pigs we buy are average 10lbs before cleaning. You might want to add some some tapas before the pig. Thank you

    Is there an age restriction (ex. 13 and over) or are kids not allowed to join their parents?

    Hello Jacqueline, thank you for your question. We do not have any age restrictions at Edo Tapas. Please let us know if we can further assist. Thank you 🙏

    How much does the tasting menu usually run per person?

    $48

    Do they do a vegetarian tasting menu?

    Yes, they have a fully vegan tasting menu. $40/person last time I went. Please note the whole table has to get the tasting menu.

    Do they have vegan menu?

    We have a gourmet vegan tasting menu now!!

    What is the corkage fee?

    Corkage fee is $25 per 750ml bottle.

My partner drinks wine more often than me (I hate the dry taste of wine lol) but I wanted to come to try something new.

The touch of masago was 10/10 paired with the waffle and cream sauce! Ugh my fav truly. Next we got the Brushetta and my partner loved it. He said the tomatoes were delicious and paired well with the bread and sauce it was marinated with. I did try a bite even though I'm a tomato hater but man you can tell the tomatoes were fresh. I had a piece with no tomatoes because I loved whatever was on top as whatever the tomatoes were marinated in! Next came the Sausage Rolls and man were they delicious paired with their homemade cheese dip! I don't think I'd get again because it's quite heavy with the wine but def glad I tried.

The selections-- Ever evolving, classic styles to low intervention, as long as it is in service to the grape juice, that's what you'll find. Take a moment to listen to what they can tell you about the offerings, which come by the bottle, glass and 3 x half glass flights. A large room with various types of seating areas (including a private area) for different group sizes and feels, including a u shaped bar. Almost like a coffee shop but very modern and sleek. You can see much of the cellar as well. Now I only know Garagiste as a frequent visitor to Las Vegas but each time I'm there, there are locals picking up their wine club selections or hanging out. The soundtrack for me is great (heavy on 90's/2000/2010's adult alternative). And each time, I find one it two surprises. There's a Happy Hour which discounts glasses (plus you get a nice skewer of manchego and chorizo). So head to the Arts District (where you'll find lots of great everything) and experience a great wine drinking time.

I shouldn't have to clearly hear conversations that are happening to the tables next to us. It was definitely a squeeze getting in and out of the tables without interrupting the table next to you. Our server recommended getting two plates per person. The menu isn't designed to have appetizers or entrees per se, so this menu seemed like it's kind of a tapas place or kind of not? If the plates aren't appetizers or entrees and they're more shareable, then why would we only get 3 pork ribs pieces instead of 4? The pork ribs had great flavor. it was crispy, tender, and fall off the bone at the same time, but it would've been better if they added one more pork rib bone instead of 3. The whipped brie with blackberry and honey was a bit disappointing. Even after mixing the whipped brie and with the blackberries, there were barely any fruit or honey flavor. All I tasted was salt. The brie was too salty with no taste of fruit or honey. Moreover, the brie came with 2 small pieces of toast, cut into 4 pieces. There was definitely more brie than toast, so we requested additional brioche toast. Of course we got charged extra for the toast. I just think the brie to toast ratio should be better. It seemed like the plate was 85% brie and 15% toast. How are we supposed to eat the rest of the brie when the toast provided is gone? I did not enjoy more brie over brioche ratio. We also got the burger and trout. Both shareable portions. The burger tasted like a slightly elevated Big Mac but saltier. Trout was good and cooked seared with a medium rare center. Flavor wise, the trout and pork ribs were my favorite. Also, the smokin petal cocktail was perfect. Overall, the experience here was just okay.

    While this is a no food speakeasy, we enjoy the popcorn, the menu is a book, and each chapter…read moreexplains the drinks. I loved chapter one drinks and chapter four. While I usually share a image its against the rules. I can only describe it as a imaginative background with small and yet delightful variety in amber red hues.

    Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.
