    Lettuce wraps and farmers market flatbread
    Gayla B.

    We're staying at the Westin and was looking for a quick snack. Farmers market flatbread was pretty good and the lettuce wraps weren't bad. Our friends said the shrimp salad and poke bowl were good. No one seemed blown away by their food, but overall worth the stop if you're looking to sit down somewhere for a quick bite. I also ordered a Bloody Mary and the mix tasted fresh and homemade!

    Fish Tacos and salad

    We checked into the Westin Las Vegas Hotel and Spa and needed to get a quick meal before the Enrique Iglesias' concert at the Caesar's Palace so we thought that it would be more convenient to eat at our hotel than try to walk in the 100 degree heat to a food court across the street. We got there around 5 pm and ordered fish tacos and a burger. However, time was running short and it was almost 6 and I wanted to get back upstairs to freshen up and change before heading off to the show. I guess if I was watching the time more carefully, I should have told the server that we needed to get out of the restaurant by 5:45 pm and so it was my fault. But the food was adequate and filled the bill but a bit on the expensive side.

    Bread pudding was delicious!

    The filet was a pretty good steak. Mashed potatoes were very bland, and not super good. Would have been nice to have a salad and/or roll. Bread pudding was delicious.

    The beverage menu. Six beer options on tap - NICE!

    We came here for a very early dinner (5 PM). Free parking on the second level of the structure is very close to the restaurant. We were literally the only ones in the restaurant who didn't work there. Not a good sign. The restaurant itself is very pretty. As soon as we sat down, Arturo, our server, was at the table to get our drink order. Discovered there is no happy hour at J&E. Oh well. Not very hungry at this hour so we decided to share the short rib sliders ($12) and the 14 oz. rib eye ($38) with mushrooms and squash as the sides ($3 for each of the sides). The sliders had a bacon jam sauce that was delicious. The rib eye was cooked perfectly. And the sides were a very generous portion considering the price. And the service was excellent throughout. Overall, excellent value for a good meal close to the strip.

    My company made dinner reservations and we had a set menu. I absolutely loved my salmon with roasted mushrooms, asparagus ans mashed potatoes. It was perfectly seasoned and moist. For dessert I had tiramisu. Coming from NYC and practically living in Italian neighborhood it is NOT a tiramisu I'm used to eating. It was good but I felt custard was little heavy. Today i had mahi mahi for dinner. Again, mahi mahi was tender and juicy (because it is a very lean fish it can get very dry) but it was prepared PERFECTLY!!!! I love a little touch of micro greens on top of my fish which gave a powerful explosions of flavors in my mouth. Thank you for delicious meals.

    Yesterday my boyfriend and I had our date night at Jake & Eli. We decided to participate in Las Vegas' Restaurant Week deals. For dinner it was $40 for a three course meal. My boyfriend had the lobster bisque, grilled NY strip and tiramisu. I had the orange and fennel salad, pan roasted salmon and lemon tart with raspberry. The salmon was tasty and flavorful and our favorite dish of the night. However, the salad was a little too tangy for my taste but the tart was delicious. According to my boyfriend the lobster bisque and steak was alright but didn't have any WOW factor to it. Yet, the tiramisu was great! We went around 7:00pm with no reservations and it wasn't busy at all, maybe because it was a Tuesday night. The hostess and our waitress were friendly and welcoming! We received excellent customer service!

    An old fashioned.

    I have to say I love the service here. The staff is friendly and always happy to have a conversation. I mostly drink and eat at the bar witch makes it easier to feel comfortable in a time like COVID. So the Staff is 5 star but I have to say that the food is more like a 3.5 star. I arrived late at night and due to a flight delay and I order a teriyaki rice bowl that comes with chicken. The dish looked good and had plenty of flavor with the green string beans and the mushrooms and the chicken was delicious but the rice was the worse part. The rice was way under cooked and hard. The night shift bartender (Jennifer- I think was her name) and manager came to me to check on how I was doing and I informed them of the issue. They apologized and since it was late and they were closing the kitchen and they offered to take care of me with another drink. Jennifer was working hard to make sure I was okay and happy with something. You don't get that kind of service every where and being in Las Vegas I thought they wouldn't care but they did. They offered to buy me another drink, so I asked for their "Not so old fashioned" drink. If you have never had an Old Fashion you gotta try it, but this old fashion is on the fancy side. The Jake & Eli Not So Old Fashion has a maple syrup flavor to it and comes in a smoke box. The smoke box infuses the smoke into the drink and adds something a little different. It's sweet but not sugary and has a great smooth Bourbon taste. It also comes with a twist of orange witch helps balance out the flavor. I have never had a drink with so much flair and flavor. I have found my new drink. Even though I wasn't a fan of the food the service was top notch and so was the drink and sometimes great service can make all the difference and here it did. Thanks Jennifer and night manager for the awesome service.

    All American Burger

    The homemade ranch stole my heart. The place was nice and cool (obviously great in Las Vegas heat), the server/bartender was very nice and attentive, it was clean, and the vibe was quiet and laid back. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and my husband had the All American Burger. They were both excellent choices!

    Complimentary shots bourbon

    I was just at Jake and Eli's for dinner. It is in the lobby of the Westin if you aren't familiar it's right off the strip and across from Bally's. The food across the board is a better deal than most of the casino restaurants. I was staying at the Westin so it's very convenient in that case. They offer a broad array of choices with steaks being the specialty. Also since the bar area specializes in bourbon you can get most good brands of bourbon here in the bar or restaurant. The area is quite new build out as this area of the hotel used to be a casino. It is now Jake and Elis which is quite large. The area is typically not too busy at dinner time but at breakfast it can be as they have a very nice breakfast buffet which I also ate at as well due to staying at the Westin. The dinning options cover seafood, steak, chicken. The salad is quite good as it is more than a basic salad using flavorful escarole. The dressing tasted quite good on the salad as well. As for service I always had good service here. At dinner, at 4 breakfasts, although I always got the buffet at breakfast. To start with I tried the complimentary 3 shot assortment of bourbon it was nice to compare and contrast the 3 choices all of them good. Then on to the salad and main course. Having already been on the road for a week I actually just felt like seafood and went with the bronzed Mahi Mahi. It comes with what is called Tomato chow chow. I asked what that was and the waiter said tomatoes in a sauce. Still wasn't sure but liked the concept and it was definitely different than the usual steamed or grilled preparation. I was very surprised at how good that sauce was with the seafood. Excellent idea and one I had not seen before. I was getting full at this point and skipped dessert. But the service wasn't too bad food great and the prices you just cant beat. Note the three item sides are no longer on the menu as included. You may see other reviews noting this but they no longer include them. You can buy them separately.

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

We were enjoying the music and it was a vibe until it came to pay the bill. At 9:30 PM, a full 30 minutes before the posted closing time of 10:00 PM, the staff began rushing us out while my wife was still eating. When it came time to pay our bill, our bank cards were temporarily unavailable due to a system outage. We had the money. This was not a financial issue. It was a technical one we were actively working to resolve. Instead of being given a moment, security surrounded our table and treated us as though we were attempting to leave without paying. We were not. We never attempted to leave. I want to note that a couple of the security members were actually kind and professional throughout. A manager then approached with immediate hostility white male, tattoos, wearing a white crop shirt, and beige pants) no introduction, and no interest in hearing our explanation. I want to Emphasize That everyone working there refused to give me his name (white male) I even attempted to ask him and he walked away. He made demeaning remarks about our finances and specifically told us that if we didn't pay, he would call the police and trespass us, but if we paid, he would not. We paid. My brother sent $30 via Zelle directly to a security staff member to settle the bill. It was paid in full. He called the police anyway. And trespassed us anyway. I had offered to leave my ID as collateral, leave card information on file, or return the next morning. Every offer was refused before we even got to that point. The responding officers acknowledged his behavior was inappropriate. His own staff was visibly uncomfortable. Unless you are prepared to be treated as a suspect over something completely outside your control, I would think twice before dining here.

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.

Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal.
