Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Palace Station

I spent 4 days In Vegas eating some incredible meals, but Esther’s was far and away the best of the best. I will remember the fresh sour dough for a very long time. The team here is also phenomenal- kind and attentive. If I ever find myself in Vegas again, I’m dining at Esther’s first.

I have lived in LV for 18 years now and have heard many great things. I decided to make a reservation for an anniversary, and although it took 3 months to get in for this reservation, I have to say, it was worth the wait. The service was excellent, everyone had a welcoming smile, and was very attentive/courteous. We were seated promptly after our on-time arrival, the waiter was very polite and happy to wait on us, among his other waiters who were also there to take care of our drinks, bread. Overall, it was excellent! We got the table side Caesar salad, and this was outstanding. I have never been anywhere that makes the dressing right in front of you. For me, this was outstanding because I hate buying dressings from the store - many of them use cheap ingredients, and this was 100% fresh and really added to the salad. You absolutely must get this when you go IMO. The bread was fresh, and the 14oz. Prime Rib was outstanding - I ate every bite with their horseradish. Absolutely loved it. Definitely go! It's worth it if you love great food, and staff that takes care of you along with dining in an iconic place such as this. I will definitely be going again.

Billy, Pat, Philippe, All of the ladies at the front, Bruce, Jackie. All fantastic. Great place.

We had such a fabulous time! Food was great, our waiter was awesome, and drinks were delish! The French Onion Soup was the best I have ever had, the escargot was amazing! I had a French martini which I enjoyed so much. I had their signature chicken dish that was cooked perfectly, my husband had their steak and frites which was delicious as welll;) Definitely will be going back

Got possessed by a craving for the octopus dish I had seen another order on my last visit, so booked dinner. Sat at the bar per usual and tried all new menu items to me. Drink- •How 'bout Them Apples ($17): Fresh-from-the tree sour apple, sharp and earthy. Wonderfully evocative creation from Guillermo (Tito). •Kaiju Amiga ($15): Very balanced between nutty sweetness and tang. •Clearly ($16): Like being on a breezy Caribbean beach, sunny, salty, citrusy. •Desparada "Saturn Return" 2022 Red Blend ($20): Very good pour. Food- Foie Gras ($25): Several-forkfuls portion of the rich fatty organ, accompanied by a thin eggroll spear. Very nutty, sweet, and crisp. Spanish Octopus ($24): About 10 octopus chunks, nicely charred outside the tender meat. Plentiful firm risotto grains, al dente and mildly salty (squid ink). Listed with a fire symbol on the menu; accurate. Chili quite prominent, asked for some bread ($2) to absorb and deaden some of the heat. Spiced and spicy. Value: Most excellent for the alcohol. Undecided about the food; liked what I had, still feeling the heat. Atmosphere: Surprisingly quiet at first, but noise level rose to its usual loud magnitude as the customers poured in. Service: Exceptional and attentive!
