    Beef Short Rib Pithivier
    Cameron Q.

    This place was amazing. We ordered an appetizer and drinks, but the highlight of the night was the beef short rib pithivier. The tuna tartare was fresh. The pithivier was heaven. The short rib was cooked for 48 hours. Then it was wrapped in a puff pastry. It was accompanied by a foie gras mignonette. There were some peppercorns in the mignonette. The puff pastry was so flaky. The short rib was succulent. You just wanted to eat more and more of it. Everything was just perfect. Additionally, I got the bee knees as my cocktail. It was sweet and yummy. I will definitely come back there again for the pithivier.

    Came here for dinner before the Knighs game. Ordered drinks and the popovers. Very good. Shared a Ceaser salad, Halibut and lobster pasta. All very good. Good service and great ambiance being in a large library. Great dessert was the mousse tart. Prices are typical strip hotel prices.

    Filet Mignon

    My teenager found this spot on Instagram, go figure. I looked up the menu and said alright... let's give it a shot. Ambiance, check! Service, check! Food, check check check. We ordered the Gruyère popovers, the wedge salad, two filets, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and of course the truffle fries! All of it was amazing! I am a pretty avid steak eater and this filet was like butter, no knife needed and flavor was on point. It was a few days after my 40th Birthday and they brought out a cute birthday dessert and we ordered the cheesecake (definitely homemade). The decor is warm, inviting, and makes for a really fun backdrop for photos. Vegas has a lot of gimmicky restaurants and this was not one of them. If you're visiting Vegas do yourself a favor and make a reservation here!

    My husband and I went to The Library at Park MGM. We had originally planned to celebrate Valentine's Day there but, due to our schedule with work and traveling, we decided to reschedule for a later date. Our reservations were for 5:00 PM on a Friday when, unbeknownst to us, there was a Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey game! As such, there was a good amount of energy around the area! Overall, however, the night turned out to be quite enjoyable and a nice way to celebrate belatedly! As soon as we walked into the restaurant, the entire atmosphere felt truly unique and beautiful. The restaurant itself was set inside a large room with tall shelves filled with books. This created a very cozy and library type atmosphere that sets this restaurant apart from many others along the strip. We were seated at a booth style table within the main dining area. The booth was spacious enough to allow us to dine comfortably while allowing us a full view of the dining area. The ambiance of the restaurant alone made the dining experience feel like something special. The service throughout the entire evening was phenomenal probably the best part of the whole evening. The staff were very attentive, extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of all through the evening. This definitely added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening and helped to create an amazing atmosphere for us to enjoy the evening in. As for the food, we began with the French Onion Soup, which had a lot of onions, however, there wasn't enough broth. The flavor was good though. We also ordered the Gruyère Popovers. Unfortunately, they were burned on the bottom, and I was only able to eat a couple of bites. The salad was delicious though! I ordered the filet mignon for my entree. My husband ordered the roasted pork chop. The filet mignon I ordered was good. It was cooked medium well and tasted yummy. However, the croquette served with the filet mignon was very small and didn't have too much flavor. The pork chop my husband ordered was a much larger disappointment. The pork chop was extremely dry and very tough. The pork chop was also difficult to cut. The mashed potatoes were smooth and scrumptious! While the food was just average, overall, the experience of dining at The Library was wonderful. We are happy that we got the opportunity to dine at this new restaurant, and although the food did not meet our expectations of what the other aspects of the experience offered, it is certainly a unique and memorable location in Las Vegas and will be remembered for its setting!

    I had dinner at The Library and had an AMAZING time! Everything from the service to the food, and the decor excellent. The restaurant is romantic and perfect for a date night. Absolutely stunning!

    So glad I stumbled on The Library before our trip to Vegas. This ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. This beautiful restaurant features four walls, floor to ceiling with books. The vibes were divine - perfect for date nights. Service was attentive and individual. The food was great, a more creative spin on American cuisines. Cocktails were nice as well. Bar area was small, but very nice. Reservations definitely recommended.

    What a fantastic dining experience! From the moment we checked in, and led to the waiting room, I knew it was going to be a good time. I'm all about vibes and they know what they're doing! The dining room is a huge library with old books and dimly lit. It's so beautiful. We started with a few cocktails because you have to! Espresso martini and bees knees. If you like honey, the bees knees is for you. The food was also pretty great. We weren't too hungry, so we just got our mains (halibut and wagyu) and a side of creamed spinach. Halibut is can be tough in texture, but the sauce that was served with it balanced it extremely well. Next time, I'm definitely getting the seafood tower!

    The star of the whole restaurant is honestly the decor and feel of the place. It is absolutely beautiful inside. Food wise, I have had better elsewhere. It was good, but nothing to make me want to come back. The ribeye cap steak was cooked nicely, but the quality of steak wasn't what I expected. I honestly make a better rib cap at home with meat from Costco. They are also very stingy with the potato puree. However, the potato puree and steak together were very delicious. The Caesar salad was average, and again, stingy on the croutons and Parmesan cheese. The cookies and cream dessert was a disappointment. The vanilla ice cream was full of salt and the creme brulee seemed to be missing something. The service was top notch though. From start to finish, everyone was attentive and went above and beyond!

    We had quite a few outstanding meals during our latest trip through Vegas with the kids and grandparents, so the bar is high. I'll start by saying that how they transformed an exceptionally boring, constrained space is world class masterful. So well done. I didn't care to bring a real camera for something like this, but even with decent iPhone shots (attached) - it really needs to be seen first hand. For a quick, first dinner, we ordered fairly light - popover (GREAT), wedge salad, french onion soup, yellowtail crudo, halibut, creamed spinach, and bolognese for the kids. But the real star of the evening was the Beef Pithivier - we ordered TWO of those. Amazing. Had a Baked Alaska for dessert. Pretty good, but not the best Baked Alaska we've had. I'd say a B+/A-. =)

    Tucked into a back corner of Park MGM, Nomad Library Restaurant feels like a hidden gem. The space itself is beautiful and intimate, even on a busy night. Service was gracious and well-paced--our servers were attentive without hovering, which made it easy for our group to enjoy uninterrupted conversation. It was a bit noisier than I expected, and there was plenty of tableside theater happening, especially with the baked Alaskas being flambéed around the room featuring pineapple sorbet, which sounded lovely, but we opted to skip dessert this time. The food largely impressed. The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was a standout--and huge, since we ordered a double portion for our party of four. The branzino was perfectly cooked and deboned. The only miss for me was the steak, which leaned a bit chewy. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great atmosphere, thoughtful service, and several memorable dishes--just a notch shy of perfection.

    2.5 lb lobster

    Fantastic customer service Beautiful decor Classy / upscale seating areas If you're looking to eat here booking a reservation is a good idea on weekends or during major events in DTLV (concerts, F1, Sports events) There's something fun about dining in what looks like a vintage personal library. Dimly lit, and lined with rows upon rows of books, this place has a real speak easy meets posh library kind of vibe. The menu isn't huge, but the food is amazing.... Many of the dishes are al a carte style. Meaning the protein you order may not come with sides. (Sides are about $20 each and serves two people.) Our group of four ordered a dozen raw oysters (10/ out of 10 MUST try), the 2.5 lb lobster, live weight not dressed weight (8/10), the pork chop (10/10), and the risotto (9/10). The place was packed, so it took a while to get our food but the food was delicious and spiced perfectly. This place is perfect for date night, anniversaries, or close family get togethers. Dress code HIGHLY suggested.

    The library has it in spades as far as ambience. Truly extraordinary. This place drips in warm elegant decor and would make a bibliophile feint with cool vibe. I sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple fabulous cocktails while awaiting the rest of the party. Friendly competent bartenders and guests willing to chat with a stranger, 10! The value for these drinks is where I choke. $27.00 a drink seemed an incredibly steep price. Unfortunately I didn't realize this til it was too late. When the rest of my party arrived we were seated in the main Library dining area and were all ready to enjoy a great meal. It took a long time to even have someone take our drink order and I found it quite odd that they brought one obvious cocktail in a large wine glass. Not how they served these same cocktails in the bar. Odd. I had perused the menu prior to arrival so I knew exactly what I'd order. The branzino was so completely enveloped in the crunch sauce, I could barely find my fish. The decadent Crab Mac and cheese with black truffle had neither crab, nor black truffle. Both very disappointing. The wedge salad was chopped up and tasted like it was simply mixed with mayonnaise. Yuck factor of 9! All three dishes were sad to say the least. No one was happy with their dinner selections and when the bill came we were even sadder. The Library has 1/2 the equation down but if you aren't serving food that satisfies then what's the point. One at our table ordered the lobster bolognese and it was possibly the worst dish ordered. The spaghetti was simply chopped up with not a long noodle to be found and lobster was completely devoid in this dish. Sad, sad sad..

    had a reservation - seated right away. Ambiance is wonderful, you'll have to see for yourself. Service was OK. At the end of dinner, all the lights went on & the fire alarm was blaring - it lasted for 5 minutes or so. I know it's out of the restaurant's control but it definitely changed the experience. Our server, Ariana, was OK. Food wise I had the pre fix menu & everything tasted great! It's obviously a pricey place but it's also intimate and a great place for either an anniversary dinner or taking a small group of friends/family. I would come back and try something else - I believe their menu is rotated.

    Does the nomad's half chicken also have foie gras inside like their old roast chicken dish? or is it just regular chicken?

    Just regular chicken, it was seasoned and prepared dry well.

    What is the price fix menu?

    They have reasonable prices. I had the pork chop and corn. It was about $50 for my meal and drink. All side items are an a la carte price, so any side you get is an extra cost. The 2 ladies I was with both had a cocktail with their meal, and theirs… Read more

    I'm such a picky eater, and don't like anything on the menu. Do they allow you to grab a drink at the bar instead of a seated meal?

    I'm pretty sure if the bar is available you can go for it! Many people sit at the bar and have a drink while they wait for their reservation, so i would say you're safe!

    Do they cater to vegetarians?

    They do have a small vegan menu, 3 items if I recall, plus a couple vegetarian options from the main menu.

    Do they offer a chefs tasting menu?

    They do not.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like fried calamari that would cross contaminate gluten free french fries? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

    As a fellow Celiac I would not recommend it. We had plans on sharing a roasted chicken for 2 and were told they incorporate some kind of pastry in the dish and could not modify anything. We also wanted a baked potato side from their menu and they… Read more

    Is it kid friendly?

    If you have a well behaved kid who is a foodie, then it is. If your kid needs chicken nuggets and can't sit still or be quiet, then no

    When will NoMad restaurant open?

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. When will they reopen?

    Do they serve the Roast Chicken as 2 preparations, like it was originally at Eleven Madison Park? The first was the carved white meat, and then the dark meat fricasee.

    Yes. But I haven't had the chicken at Eleven Madison Park. Here's how Nomad presents: They present the roasted chicken at the table when it comes out of the oven and then they take it back to the kitchen and cut it up into two preparations: The… Read more

    Is this the same restaurant from NoMad by the Flatiron District in New York?

    Yes it is, the third location (NYC, LA and now Las Vegas)
