Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in The Renaissance

I had an absolute amazing time at Esther’s Kitchen. From the ambience to the decor and service, it’s all tip notch. I came in to surprise my now fiancée after proposing to her in her birthday and they congratulated us with a glass of wine of the house. Our server, who I believe is named Alex, was absolutely stellar and did an amazing job explaining the menu and some of there great dishes there. I knew what cocktail I wanted to try and it was a great balance of the bourbon tase but with a subtle sweetness. My fiancée didn’t know what she really wanted and Alex made her a cocktail that was spot on for her palate with a few questions! We ordered the Basil, Burrata, and Anchovy butter to go with the bread and they all were great, highly recommended! I ordered the dry age steak and my fiancée ordered the Risotto and both were wonderful,. The steak had a great crust on the steak with a good depth of flavor. The risotto was super rich and flavorful. I recommend adding the Parmesan on top to make it that much better. I can’t wait to come back in the future to try more of the menu! One of, if not, the best dining experience off strip in Vegas that isn’t crazy on your pockets! Make sure you ask for Alex, she is amazing server and made our special day that much better!

Our server Andrea was amazing! She was so attentive and so nice! Very knowledgeable! Food was fantastic! It was our first time and we’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful place with great staff. I goofed and was an hour early for our reservation and they sat us early any way. Our server was nice and answered all our questions. They were playing music it wasn’t overly loud and added to the experience. Food is expensive but it’s not Dennys you are there to experience authentic German atmosphere. Recommend for special occasions.

2024Dec25Wed: Christmas Day celebration dinner at one of our definitely favorite family-owned Italian restaurants in the valley. As locals, we can certainly take pride in this local award winning gem of a place worthy of recommendation. This has been our “go to” Italian restaurant for any occasions and whenever we have out-of-town guests . We’ve been here numerous times and have been trying different dishes and have been impressed with their consistency of high level of quality of flavor and ingredients that comes from their kitchen. The restaurant looks very classy and sophisticated yet warm, welcoming and casual. Service is always on point from every staff member who gave us hand and foot service! This evening was exquisite and even more special with the attention given to us by Excecutive Chef & Owner Mimmo Ferraro. The dishes we had were totally of high quality in taste and flavor - so delightful that Chef Mimmo was even accommodating and prepared us a dish “to go” that is not on the menu. Chef Mimmo was so gracious to come to our table several times and gave us as complimentary his signature house made desserts. What a Christmas dinner to remember !!!! We’ll be back soon!!!

Golden Steer Steakhouse is a great restaurant to try atleSt once whole in Vegas. Social media has added to the notariaty of this restaurant, which in turn is reflected in the high price for the meal. The lobster, although good, is overpriced. It appears that the prices have increased over the past few months. The steaks are great but too overpriced. The service is top notch, no issues there. But the dress code requirements, although a nice rule, are not consistent.
