    Real life brunch items, add on the coffee!!!
    Caroline L.

    -Saturday Brunch Review only- Brunch is every Saturday and just started April 4th! I think it starts at 10:30am and not 10am as noted on site. Made online reservation with credit card hold but since it's new it's not busy so you can just do a walk in. Everybody was so nice and helpful. There's no names on any of the brunch food so had to ask and they were friendly enough to tell me each item. This is not your average brunch buffet with a ton of American food. I would consider this a boutique brunch buffet. It is definitely a Mediterranean style buffet and healthy and good for you. I loved it since I was mindful of how much food I was grabbing and not excessive. The food options were delicious! The À la carte foods we ordered were good too but very pricey considering it's on top of your bill. Overall this buffet is pricey if you consider the price and options of other well known buffets nearby. There needs to be a lot more upscale items if they are charging this much with minimal items. However there is no wait and everything is super fresh and clean. We really enjoyed this new food that we're not used to at buffets and will be back. The vibes were low key and nice and mellow. Be sure to put your players card for points!!! Food: I attached a video here so you can see! - Pistachio raspberry cake bite - Tiramisu or choc mousse dessert cup - Potato with smoked salmon and dill - Oyster shooter with olive oil and lemon - Charcuterie meats and chz - Strawberry, Watermelon, Pineapple - Tea sandwiches: egg or tuna - House made giant bagel with hummus and nova lox smoked salmon spread - Scrambled eggs - Toast, butter, apricot? jam - Farfalle bow tie pasta - NO BEET CARPACCIO?!?! website lied A La Carte: - $6 coffee was sooooo good but can't believe it wasn't included in price tho - Club Sando - good but pricey - Shakshouka - tomato egg dish in cast iron pan was large portion

    Excellent service from start to finish. We changed our reservation from 9 pm to 7 pm day of, but later evening reservations are a bit more "fun" in that there's loud party music. Wish we were there a bit longer to check it out but has somewhere to be. Everything we got was delicious and fresh, would go again!

    This was an amazing place. So glad I was able to get a reservation finally. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is so nice and kind and explaining the various dishes and making sure everyone loves it. I love that all the patrons to the restaurants are so free to get up and dance on their chairs and around the tables. Especially great because the DJ and the music were absolutely fabulous. They also celebrate birthdays with a bell and flair. So fun. I know there's a lot of choices in Las Vegas and the Venetian hotel probably but this place is super fun. Reminds me of Mykonos type partying with the same kind of music and DJ. Loved it.

    Had such a fun night at HaSalon. It truly feels like a slice of Israel right in Las Vegas. The culture and attitude are incredible. Warm, lively, and a little chaotic in the best way. The food is genuinely great, the DJ was amazing, and the whole place has this contagious, feel good energy. Our servers were professional and really knew the menu. We ordered a lot, but the standout was the beet carpaccio. My husband picked it and I was not expecting to be that impressed, but it was so good. The yellowtail sashimi was another favorite. I could have easily had three orders to myself. Everything we tried was delicious. We also had the Arak Lemonatas and I highly recommend trying one if you have not before. We got there around 9pm and noticed people really settle in for the night, especially larger groups. I loved that there was no pressure to rush out. It feels like you are meant to stay, relax, and enjoy the experience. It is definitely a party atmosphere with all ages, but just know it gets loud. Conversation takes a back seat to music, dancing, and celebration. People are dancing on chairs, birthday bells are ringing, and the whole place feels like one big celebration. Perfect spot for a birthday or any kind of special night. I will absolutely be back, especially when friends or family are in town.

    Crème fraiche with tomatoes
    Faye I.

    We had a fun night at HaSalon! Great for big groups. I found out later that this place is known for their fun party atmosphere, and it was a blast! The decor of the place is beautiful and I love their super tall ceilings. The fresh bright red roses and tomatoes at the bar / open kitchen area were nice touches. House focaccia with creme fraiche mixed with green and red tomatoes were so good, we ordered another. We ordered a bunch of food from the menu: a bag of golden calamari, fire roasted artichoke hearts, eggplant, rigatoni, chicken shawarma, and shrimp pan. We were a party of 8 and the portion of each dish were barely enough to feed all of us, but between everything we ordered, we came out of there full. The chicken shawarma however was the biggest portion, which was surprising because the menu specifically said that it's good for 3 people. I wonder if they gave us a more generous portion because we were a party of 8, or if what they gave us was the normal portion. Everything we had was so delicious, unique, had the perfect amount of citrus flavor. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the artichoke, but that's just personal preference. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes I mentioned. The Daybreak mocktail was also delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect because it sounded like a super healthy vegetable juice that contains carrot juice, turmeric syrup, lime juice, spice, and ginger, but it was amazing! I would come back for another lively dinner event!

    Came here for an event. It's located in the palazzo side of the veneitian so recommend parking in the palazzo parking garage( there's a veneitian/ and a palazzo veneitian garage). Locals get three hours of free parking as well. I love mediterrean style food , and the food here was tasty, we had more of apps and hors d'oeuvres, snack bites more than the full menu food. But I def will be back with friends and explore the menu a bit more!! I spoke to the manager and she was a sweetheart. Great at hospitality and personable which I love

    Beet carpaccio

    We had a great dinner at Hasalon in Las Vegas. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and professional, and the overall vibe was really enjoyable. If you've been to the Tel Aviv location, that one definitely has a stronger edge when it comes to the music and the full party/show atmosphere. That said, the Vegas location still delivers a very solid experience and keeps the Hasalon spirit alive in its own way. Overall, we truly enjoyed our dinner and would absolutely recommend it for a fun, high-energy dining experience in Vegas.

    Portions of food were terrible. $40 for 7 pieces of pasta. Be real lol. Drink was okay but other than that place was very bad.

    HaSalon, located in The Palazzo, is an absolute culinary delight. We tried so much of the menu since there were so many of us and there were plenty of vegetarian options available for me. From the vegetarian options, we had the bourekas, fennel salad, charred beetroot carpaccio, 7 ricotta clouds, sweet pea tortellini, and asparagus. Everything was absolutely incredible and even those who ate meat at the table were pleasantly surprised, especially by the pastas. At the end of the dinner, they brought out two dinner charcuterie boards that was filled with so many tasty treats like pudding, cake, cookies, etc. It was such a lovely array of sweet treats. They have an interesting drink menu as well that includes non alcoholic options. If you have a work dinner to go for, I would recommend this as an option on the strip.

    The kitchen
    Ron W.

    This is upscale Israeli food no matter what the concessionaire re-named it. (Thank you, Bebe for keeping the ball in play.) The lovely dining room is anchored by a long bar the length of a 5-K course. A wide Marble Bar Top, cushy Bar Seats make making a nest quick and easy. There is s hummin' open Kitchen in the hook of the J shaped Bar which beckons diners to open their wallets. The cutely described adventuresome menu lures the hungry. An Israeli Loop is just in the background or is that the comforting sound of Patriots seeking heat. No matter, as the background stays in the background and is absorbed by happy diners chewing very good food and slurping inviting cocktails. Who's in the House? Those thrilled to have made it past one more Yom Kippur without incident, and those holding Eagles at the Sphere Tix. The night I was there everyone had Eagles Tix and probably no one bothered to atone for any sins. Note: The Staff appreciates that you might have been fasting, or that you will have to trot to the Sphere right after you pay so the food comes to your table as if rocket launched. The Bar: This program is like most higher end restos in Vegas. You never heard of it, but you want it, so just ask for it, and they'll have it. My Bloodline was just right. Sweet going in and a definitely bitter on the finish, which describes a whole panorama of life's choices. But as it relates to my cocktail it was just what was needed and exactly as described. The Staff: Pleasant, helpful and efficient. What would you expect in the Eagles nest? The whole town is focused on three nights of phenomenal incomparable, musical mania and with good reason. The Food: As stated HaSalon describes itself as Mediterranean. Naw! (make that lo in Hebrew), it's innovative Israeli food, prepared by a team of Israelis and Hispanics all working together like a Swiss Watch. The Eggplant Lines (where is my rolled 20 Shekel bill?) Roasted Soft Eggplant spears laying in Tahini. This was very well thought out and very tasty. A hill of diced Spicy Ahi Tuna, sliced Roma Tomato and Red Onion was formed into a cylinder and all of it delightful on the house made Focaccia which keeps coming as long as you're enjoying it which will be as long as it keeps coming. Nothing much in Vegas is free but here the Chef is free to create and he and his team certainly can deliver. The Calamari Fritti (Bag of Golden Calamari on the menu) stood in for French Fries. A paper satchel arrived bearing breaded rings and things along with a small cup of simple Aioli. Generally calamari's big draw is the crackling crust. Here the crunch was replaced by the chew and while the Calamari was tender, America's favorite flavor is crisp. I was craving crisp. This was flirting with being some sorry Calamari. The Halibut Schnitzel had legs. I wanted crispy/crunchy enrobing translucent moist fish. So much for my fish wish. The Halibut was as big a third baseman's mitt, although, alas, the mitt might've been juicier. The fish was a touch over cooked and hence it was dry, sadly, it just was. So, I asked for the "Lamb Meatballs" and happy I did. They weren't exactly Meatballs, but rather terrific succulent Kofte stuffed inside Roasted Onions. They were nestled in a hot bath of Red Bell Pepper Tomato Sauce which would make a perfect Shakshuka. The Meatballs required nothing more than a gaping maw to enjoy every bite. This was the highlight. The Sweet Corn Salad topped with fresh shredded Parmesan Cheese was also wonderful. A little kick of heat showed up after each eager spoon of it and this was a perfect side kick to the Meatballs. Is HaSalon the best Vegas has to offer? Nope. But it is a metaphor for how life goes. Accept that there are some misses and embrace those things that are unexpectedly satisfying. Dessert: Nothing sang to me. But it's Vegas and being full has nothing to do with ordering more. I thought one scoop might be a sweet way to end an overall nice meal. I asked for one scoop of Frozen Strawberry Yogurt. It couldn't hurt, could it? A parfait glass showed up with three monstrous scoops. Good thing because I couldn't stop eating it. Sweet Tart Strawberries, a slight sour tang of Yogurt and even though this was outsourced it was brilliant. Keep it on the roster Chef. Is HaSalon worth the hassle? You decide. Leyhenut meza.

    While the menu is very unique and not very informative, the food and service is outstanding! Our waitress was very knowledgeable - she provided detailed descriptions of each dish and gave great recommendations. Each dish was so flavorful and had a beautiful presentation. My favorite dish was the tuna (or salmon) carpaccio and the pistachio & sage pasta.

    This place stands out ita seasonal menu that is prepared with elegance garunteeing the most wonderful taste for every bite. The staple appetizer of the Beet Carpaccio and Wagyu Carpaccio were wonderfully balanced. If I had to choose the Wagyu Carpaccio had a better elegance to it, but the Beet Carpacio is still a must. Skip the pasta clouds, they were well prepared but very bland and bot as Airy as I expected. The lamb is their specialty and a must have in any form. Atmosphere is amazing. Service was good, but can be improved. Will definitely come back for the food!

    Here's our receipt for 3 people

    Located in Papazzo Gals Alon means living room in Hebrew . But this was more like a club that had food. The food was subpar and extremely overpriced. Are you kidding me $125 for lamb kebab?! And the portions are definitely not shareable. The worst one was the puff pastry for $36! It's literally one puff pastry with cheese and spinach. The vibe was hyped because like I said it felt like a club so you're allowed to jump on tables and dance on chairs and hope you don't break your neck And of course, being Vegas, the drinks were about $30 a pop and the service charge of 20% is included so just pay attention to that part We thought it was overrated and have no plans of coming back, but if you are at the age of about 21 to 29 this is the perfect spot

The third course was a variety tray of hummus, tzatziki, baba ghanoush, falafel, and pita chips. The fourth course was a pineapple with skewers of steak and chicken coming out of the top.

I loved that they had TVs and we could watch the World Cup game that was on. You order your food up front, pay, grab your drink, and then sit down with your number. They bring the food out to your table. I love the CocaCola freestyle machines. Unfortunately this one didn't have any diet or zero options other than Aha sparkling water. That was a bit disappointing. They do have canned Diet Coke along with some interesting Greek drinks in a refrigerator. I ordered the gyro plate and my son got the falafel gyro. We both got the feta fries. These are really delicious. There was so much feta and herbs on the crispy, coated fries. My portion was great on my gyro plate. The salad was pretty but the Greek dressing was very mild and lacking in flavor for me. The same with my gyro meat. It was just okay. When you mix beef and lamb, it creates this delicious flavor and I just didn't get that here. The tzatziki was very bland to me. It was almost just straight yogurt. My son's falafel pita was very good. It was soft in the inside with the slight crisp on the outside. It was a large size pita and filled up my teenage boy. The desserts sounded delicious and the baklava in the case next to the registers were phenomenal looking. We didn't make it that far to get to have dessert. Since my son loved it so much, we will be back. I will try a different plate next time and hopefully be able to get dessert also.

My wife ordered the lamb shish kebab, which was approximately $34 and consisted of only about four relatively small pieces of lamb. The first thing that surprised us was the portion size. The kebabs were remarkably small compared with what we are accustomed to at established Persian restaurants such as Raffi's Place in Glendale, which has been serving the community for decades and is well known for both quality and generous portions. My larger concern is the overall value proposition. Too many things seemed to carry an additional charge. Bread is extra. Onions and vegetables are extra. Everything begins to feel à la carte, and by the time our relatively modest lunch for two was finished, we had spent approximately $70. There is nothing wrong with charging premium prices when the quality, portions, ingredients, and overall experience support those prices. We regularly dine at excellent Las Vegas restaurants, including Esther's Kitchen, where similar pricing provides substantially more food using excellent-quality ingredients. So this isn't about expecting inexpensive food or enormous portions. It's about receiving reasonable value for what you're paying. We also recently visited Raffi's Place in California and paid comparable prices while receiving dramatically larger portions and, in our opinion, a better overall product. That's why I don't believe this can simply be attributed to inflation or today's food costs. Persian hospitality has traditionally been associated with generosity. That doesn't mean restaurants should give food away or serve unnecessarily enormous portions, but guests shouldn't leave feeling that every small addition carries another charge or that the amount of food served doesn't correspond with the menu price. Another thing that caught my attention was how quiet the restaurant was during our Saturday afternoon visit. There was essentially only one other occupied table. In a city like Las Vegas, where successful restaurants can be extraordinarily busy, I believe that should encourage ownership to take a serious look at pricing, portion sizes, and the overall customer experience. My recommendation to ownership is straightforward: reconsider the portion sizes and the heavy à-la-carte approach. Focus less on incremental charges and more on providing a complete Persian dining experience that makes customers feel they received good value and want to return. I am giving Hafez three stars because I don't believe in tearing down a business, and there is certainly potential here. But based on our personal experience, the value simply wasn't there. I sincerely hope ownership takes this feedback in the constructive spirit in which it is intended. A few meaningful adjustments to portions, pricing, and the overall concept could make a significant difference.

    When I think of upscale fine dining and authentic Greek food, my mind automatically goes to…read moreEstiatorio Milos. I may be a little biased in putting Greek cuisine among my favorite cuisines since I'm Greek myself, but truly, I have always had the best experiences at Milos. Between the undeniable hospitality, generous portions, beautifully prepared seafood, and warm atmosphere, dining here always makes me feel like I've been transported straight back to Greece. We're consistently treated so well, and it has become an absolute must-visit whenever I'm in Vegas. For this visit, we decided to treat ourselves to one of the fresh fish selections from the market. While it is definitely a pricier entrée, the fish was perfectly grilled, incredibly fresh, and generous portion for 3 guests. We also ordered quite a few small plates, starting with the Milos Special, which is hands-down my favorite dish on the menu. It's essentially a towering stack of perfectly crisp zucchini chips paired with chewy fried cheese cubes and decadent tzatziki. It's indulgent, delicious, and something I can never visit Milos without ordering. Of course, we had to get the Greek salad, it's a classic! The tomatoes were some of the sweetest, plumpest tomatoes, and the authentic Greek feta is always such a joy to enjoy. We also tried the trio of spreads, which was a lighter and refreshing way to start the meal. The cocktails were another highlight: refreshing, tart, and strong in the best way. My father also insists on getting the octopus every time we visit. In fact, he will only eat octopus from Milos, and he's the OG Greek in my family, so you KNOW it must be good. The octopus was perfectly prepared and definitely lived up to his standards. We also tried a fried soft-shell crab special, which was absolutely delectable. It was a fun addition to the meal. And naturally, we couldn't leave without dessert. We finished with the baklava cheesecake, which was the perfect ending. It had all those delicious baklava-inspired flavors without being overly sweet or heavy. I can never stop recommending Milos. It has consistently been a place for beautiful dining experiences, incredible Greek cuisine, generous portions, and, perhaps most importantly, wonderful memories with my family. Every visit feels a little bit like going back to Greece, and I'll always make it a point to return whenever I'm in Vegas!

    We were deliberately scammed. An extra $100 item was added to our bill, apparently hoping we…read morewouldn't notice or question it. This was not a simple mistake--it appeared to be a deliberate attempt to overcharge customers. To make matters even worse, one member of our group suffered severe food poisoning after eating here and had to be treated by emergency medical services. This was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've ever had. We strongly recommend checking your bill carefully and avoiding this place.
