    Waiting are to be seated
    Renee N.

    Had my daughter not had a birthday, I would never have known about this enjoyable place. Location is right off of Decatur Blvd near the China Town neighborhood but the building does not stand out so I have never noticed it. When we first walked in there was no greeting but my daughter told me that is not unusual as she has dined here a couple of times with friends. While waiting to be seated, we noticed that there was a networking event going on. While kind of a pain to have to listen to someone tell their business story, we managed to get by and the event ended pretty quickly once we were seated. Apparently this place used to be all vegetarian and recently began adding meat dishes to their menu. All the dishes lean towards Asian cuisine which we all love. Lots of great choices and we ended up going with the Cucumber Salad, Short Rib Teriyaki over pureed potatoes, Yaki Street Noodles, Chicken Gyoza, and the Short Rib Shredded Tacos. My daughter had her own dishes all vegetarian. Everything was very tasty. Restaurant is a nice size including a small bar area. Lighting is dim to enhance the experience. Service was wonderful as the restaurant was not very busy and it was a week day night. Ambiance was so perfect. The restaurant itself is gorgeous inside with a beautiful center piece in the middle of the room. Now that I know this place is here, I will definitely return to try more of their dishes.

    More of maybe a 3.4... I came here on a Monday night and it wasn't too packed. Parking was pretty small but it wasnt hard to find parking the time I came. This place markets itself as a fine dining experience. The ambiance is amazing with its unique decor. It kind of reminds me of Tao on the strip. Asian inspired decor with some water and floral aspects. It's definitely a nice date spot. The seating was also very comfortable. The service was nice but nothing extraordinary. It also took awhile for the food to come out. The appetizers ordered came out first. Scallop 7/10: the first two pieces I ate had a fishy aftertaste but the rest of the dish was delish! Good balance of umami and citrus. Brussel sprouts 7/10: cripsy and light. However a bit salty. Also some pieces were overly burnt. But the flavor was not bad. Spicy tuna tacos 6.5/10: the fish wasn't fishy but I felt like the dish was lacking something to complete the flavor profile. The taco had a good crunch but felt a little dry? The main dishes came out shortly after. Short rib 9/10: this was probably the star of the show. It broke apart nicely, no knife needed! The flavor was also so good. I believe it was a teriyaki sauce. If cams with mash potato on the bottom which I enjoyed. Creamy and smooth! This was prob the best dish of the night! Oxtail fried rice 7.5/10: the rice was almost like sushi rice grain which I enjoy. It was a very light dish. My partner felt like it wasn't enough seasoning but I thot was not bad. It came with some pieces of oxtail but they weren't as tender as I hoped for it to be. Yaki street noodles 3/10: this dish was a miss for us. The texture of the noodles felt like they were reheated in the microwave. A bit stale feeling? And the flavors were not there for me. It was lacking in complexity. I also paid an extra maybe $5 for shrimp, and it only came with about 3 pieces :(. sadly we didn't finish the dish and didn't care to take it to go either. Steak and frites upgraded $5 more for truffle fries 4/10: (fries in the dish was a 10/10 lol) the fries were super addicting. I like how it was thin and crispy. Truffle flavor was so light I could barely taste it. So I wouldn't recommend upgrading. The steak was cooked to a medium but it was really chewy... however the peppercorn sauce it came with was good. Sadly the chewiness of the beef kinda ruined the dish for me. Lastly I got the ube crème bulee 6/10: I think it was too dense for me. I like it when the crème bulee isn't too heavy and not too sweet. I also didn't taste much of the ube flavor. The dessert itself is sweet only bc of the sugar on top. But the rest of it is not too sweet. Overall the food was okay, but for a fine dining experience it is subpar. Resturant had good vibes. Service was okay. I did come during happy hour which meant some dishes were 50% off. The dishes with a star next to it means they are part of the happy hour. Maybe I'll give it another go in the far future.

    I have been dying to dine at this restaurant since I've moved to Vegas!! So glad my husband and I went for our wedding anniversary!! We didn't have a reservation which was okay because we arrived when they opened and they took us in! Originally this place was an all vegan restaurant but it's now turned into a fusion restaurant which is actually very good!! I was absolutely shocked at the size of the restaurant. From the outside I wasn't expecting much as it's next to a 7-11 but oohhh do not let that fool you on the location. There is limited parking in the front but there is more towards the back of the restaurant. The inside of this space is ridiculous beautiful!! It feels like I'm dining at a restaurant on the strip!! Insane when we walked in. I honestly felt under dressed lol. My husband and I got so much food and it was all absolutely delicious. I would say my favorite dishes were the oxtail fried rice the wagyu slider along with the short rib teriyaki!! Shoot it was all good We keep talking about bringing friends and family over to dine!! Can't wait to go back!

    Ok so let me say sorry... I got zero pictures.. but BABY.. let me tell you.. we came in on a Thursday night around 7ish. I was a little nervous because there was only one party. The restaurant is beautiful inside with a nice ambience if you're looking for something for date night. Jasmine greeted us and sat our table of three. She was warm, friendly and honest. She also waited on all the tables (more ppl came in after us) and we never felt neglected. We ordered bang-bang shrimp, veggie gozya, veggie fried rice, oxtail fried rice and yaki street noodle, crème ube dessert was delicious as well. Everything was fresh and delicious and I will be back to try the other items Jasmine recommended. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

    Saffron Lounge, a tale with a troubled identity. The billboards, heavy advertisement and polished internet image would lead one to believe that Saffron Lounge was on their "A" game and tearing up the dining game in Vegas. Last night we made reservations and were greeted into a beautiful establishment. A highly refined interior decor with breathtaking esthetics, lighting, colors and vibe that eluded excitement that this was the place. The magnificent custom lighting structure is unbelievable. The soothing water feature in the center look more like a movie set than a dining establishment. The interior design really shined. We sat in a red velvet booth and were excited to be here. There were less than 20 dinners and only two staff, each being utilized as hostess, bartender, server and and buser. A tall gentleman, appeared to be owner or chef was flittering around the restaurant with an influencer, event planner and table of 4 young ladies celebrating a birthday and apparently knew him. We ordered the cucumber salad with ume vinegarette and plum salt. This was hands down the best choice of the night with crisp edges, great taste and lightly salted. Pita with yuzu hummus, chili oil and crudite was beautifully displayed. The hummus was bland, lacked flavor and tasted like it came from the deli counter at a local supermarket. The big bang shrimp was tempura prepared with gochujang aoili, yuza and chives. Over battered and tasted like frozen, this was a total flop. Our final selection was the Yaki street rice noodles with chili oil, blistered veggies and citrus finish. We added chicken to this dish. Barely warm noodles, over sauced, awful taste and the sliced pre cooked chicken was room temperature and dry. It was the worst noodle dish I've ever had and only ate two bites. Saffron Lounge is a disaster, the chef or owner who was bouncing around needs to take charge here and train the staff. Focus needs to be directed on the terrible product they are serving. First of all, serving utensils need to be delivered with each dish, common etiquette in dining. A knife is needed with room temp dry chicken strips as the fork was not adequate to cut. We waited 15 minutes after our table was cleared to get our check. This is truly the "tale of 2 images", a beautiful facility with really bad food and service. If Saffron is to survive, changes need to be implemented ASAP, management needs to wake up.

    The service was so slow even though it was a total of 3 tables including mine. The ambience felt really sad. I think the worst part of the experience for me was how the walls emitted the small of acetone from the beauty supply store next door which really irritated our nostrils and even caused my brother a headache. We were about to leave when our waitress came over and asked us if we wanted to order. We felt bad so we ordered some dishes to try it out. The food was decent, but nothing left an impressionable memory in my taste bud that would make me want to come back. overall, we didn't enjoy our dinner and had to eat more food elsewhere.

    Came here recently and was honestly really impressed. You can tell right away they use quality ingredients--the flavors were fresh and everything tasted well thought out, not just thrown together. The staff was also great--super attentive without being overbearing, and just genuinely welcoming. It made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. On top of that, the atmosphere was really nice. It had a comfortable, inviting vibe that made you want to stay a little longer. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend to others. Hope to see the live music next time

    Bang Bang Tempura Cauliflower

    Although I arrived at 9:20 PM, I found the host stand unattended. Despite the "wait here to be seated" sign, no one greeted me for fifteen minutes. At 9:35 PM, I entered the dining room to find assistance. While an associate acknowledged my reservation and offered to set up the table, he never returned to get me. I eventually had to return to the dining area to flag someone down again before my group was finally seated at 9:45 PM. On a positive note, the ambiance and decor were excellent. Our waiter, Nello, was personable and funny, significantly improving our experience. Regarding the food, we found the teriyaki tacos and the bang bang tempura cauliflower to be underwhelming. The oxtail fried rice was flavorful, though it contained very little meat. I wanted to bring these front-of-house delays to your attention, as they stood in contrast to the great atmosphere and service provided by Nello.

    Saffron lounge is now open 7 days a week and has launched its happy hour menu. They also have private dining room upstairs. The place is really nice perfect for date nights, night out with friends. Chef Roman Allen recently took over. Tried these : Cucumber Salad - $11 Hokkaido Scallop Tiradito - $28 Teriyaki Tacos - $20 Chilean Sea Bass - $36 Buttery, flaky, and cooked perfectly. Jidori Fried Chicken - $32 Crispy on the outside, super juicy inside Short Rib Teriyaki - $34 So tender! Saffron Smoked Manhattan - $18 Lotus Blossom Martini - $17 These cocktails have nuce presentation and I liked the lotus blossom martini bec I love lychee. The short rib is a must try!

    The restaurant is under new management with a new menu and the food is insane! The restaurant is well-decorated and HUGE! We came here for a girls night and it definitely didn't disappoint. We truly ordered most of the menu because we just wanted to try a little bit of everything lol. Some highlights: - the lychee cocktail: so sweet and yummy! You even get a little presentation where they light it on fire. -bang bang shrimp: the batter is light and crispy and the sauce is so good! - beef tartare: BOMB. Savory, so much umami, and the perfect bite with the little toasties. - sea bass with lemongrass broth: must try! The broth was so fresh and light and paired well with the fish. - oxtail fried rice: can't go wrong with an oxtail fried rice. They do it with a fried egg and Chinese sausage - so good! - short rib teriyaki: soooo tender, with mashed potatoes that were super velvety. The service was great as well and very attentive. Overall, we had such a great time and I'm really looking forward to coming back!

    This is my first time coming in after Saffron changed management and menu-- and I will say that I will now be coming back. Same ambience, but now I feel like the food matches the atmosphere. Although previously known as vegan restaurant (nothing wrong with that), Saffron now has a new AND improved menu. For starters/appetizers I'd recommend trying the Beef Tartare, Hokkaido Scallop Tiradito or the Hamachi Thai Citrus. For entrees, loved the Chilean Sea Bass or Steak Frites. Not sure how we're able to fit in dessert in our already full bellies, but the Gingerbread Bread Pudding was chefs kiss. Like I said, such a big improvement since my last visit and I would now love to come back again.

    Beautiful in the side, definitely does the outside justice bc I want expecting character, vibrancy, upscale vibes inside. I had already ate earlier but wanted to support my friend for her birthday. There were only 4 other couples/ parties inside so it was nice and quiet but it was also at 9:45. I ordered a glittery drink with the babe Barbie in it and it didn't disappoint! The server was good and somewhat attentive for our large party size. I ended up ordering some wings ache paid $18 for 5 humongous wings. Didn't like the size but they were flavorful and fresh! I almost $50 for one drink and 5 wings ... overly it was nice I may come back to try a real meal.

Once I stepped foot inside and saw a completely packed house with an hour and a half wait and barely standing room at the bar, I knew it was worth whatever wait or process I had to go through. Ultimately I lucked out as an individual. I was able to snag a bar top seat pretty quickly and had I known then I was sitting down to what was going to be one of the best meals of my life, I would have been visibly more excited. Not only was the service absolutely top notch, the people and the regulars there were extremely friendly and outgoing. The vibe was perfect, a strange mix of a place that felt like it had been there for 200 years yet was somehow high energy and vibey. From a killer cocktail recommendation to one of the best steaks I've had in my life and coming from Oklahoma City, where I work a mile away from the stockyards and can get great quality fresh beef six ways from Sunday, that's saying a lot. I usually despise most things truffle but if I was forced to eat that truffle mac and cheese every day for the rest of my life I would consider it a life well lived. While I would have never ordered it on my own, a customer next to me recommended the porn star cocktail and I have to say it was also one of the most delicious things I've ever had in my life. Ten out of ten, top notch experience. Would recommend. Will be back every time I'm in Vegas, no questions asked.

Walked in at around 8:30/9pm and it was pretty dead. My friend and I were able to secure a booth, which felt intimate. It was ample space for 2 people but I can imagine if you had 4 people you'd feel squished. My friend ordered the Naked & Afraid and I ordered the Tropical Howler with vodka. Both of our cocktails were amazing and we'd order them again. If you like sweet cocktails, Tropical Howler is definitely for you. We both ordered a shot of the Mind Eraser, which had coffee liqueur I believe, I am not sure but you could taste the coffee and it was pretty good.

    Stopped in to visit, our bartender John was next level. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He…read moreasked what I preferred and I told him to surprise me! I'm not typically a Mezcal drinker but he made me a Naked and Famous w/ an orange vanilla Aperol foam. Paired with the lowkey vibe of the venue, it was the perfect pairing for a chill night out. Safe to say I am a huge fan going forward. Cocktail was well balanced and delicious. Will be returning! 5 Stars!

    1st time here. The shopping center where it's located is a…read morelil sketch but you forget all that once you walk in. Very IG friendly decor. Pool table. Neon lights. Steam punk vives. Booths and bar seating available. We were quickly greeted by a delightful young man by the name of John. Who entertained us with stories of his upbringing and his haka. The handsome chef came out to greet us and explained the menu and answered all of our questions. He served us the Korean fried chicken. Very crispy skin. Flavorful with a little bit of spice. Sat on a bed of greens. Next we ordered the sea bass. Light and flaky. Served with coconut rice and a mole sauce. The top was crispy too. The sides paired well with the fish. Also ordered the rib eye mole. The steak was tender and juicy. The smoked mole sauce was so good. Tasted very authentic and we were very surprised that the chiles actually came from Huahaca (?? Spelling). It was a great accompaniment to the steak. It came with house made fresh tortillas. We asked for extra jalapeños and hot sauce and they were very accommodating. I'm not much of a drinker so when I asked John, who is also a very talented mixologist, to make me something that tasted like juice, he delivered this beautiful lychee "martini". The presentation was amazing. And went well with my fish. They had me try the pickle drink. The foam on top was good and the "margarita" at the bottom was good too. They even surprised us with tofu cheesecake. I don't like tofu or cheescake, but wow, this dessert was light. Not overly sweet. It was a perfect way to end the meal. The Chef and John and the other mixologist from Thailand were so friendly that even when we finished our meal, they shared stories with us. They made us feel like VIPs in our own private restaurant with a private chef and mixologists. We felt very welcomed and not rushed. Will definitely be back again for the top notch service!!

    Marisa Cocina & Cocktails is the place to be in Las Vegas for brunch/food in general…read more Food: chicken and French toast, chicken and waffles, eggs, and the hot sausage was really tasty and seasoned. The margaritas were strong and so good. Service: the service was average as the place was packed. However our waiter made sure we were good in his section. They do need more waiters due to the extreme business of the resturant. Ambiance: the place is fire, energetic, lively, and full of fun. It's spacious with a live DJ keeping the music and vibez going! There's an area for pictures including 360 photo booth etc. My overall score is 4.5/5.0 will be back for sure!!! Score would've been higher if the service was quicker.

    Mariposa Brunch - Las Vegas…read more If you're looking for a brunch spot with great energy, Mariposa definitely delivers. The vibe was amazing! There was a live DJ, a hype man keeping the crowd engaged, and an overall fun atmosphere that made it feel like a party. The food was delicious--think soul food brunch with flavorful dishes--and the drinks were just as good. My biggest piece of advice: make a reservation. If you don't have one, be prepared to wait. We were initially told the wait would be about 45 minutes, but after waiting that long, we were told we still had to wait until all guests with reservations had been seated. Since reservations kept arriving, it felt like we might never get a table. After speaking with management and going back and forth, we were finally seated after about an hour. Once seated, it also took a while for our food to arrive, but the quality of the food, drinks, and overall experience made it worth it. Just know that Mariposa is off the Las Vegas Strip, so you'll need to venture away from the Strip to get there. Overall, if you make a reservation ahead of time, you'll likely have a much smoother experience. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are absolutely worth checking out.
