About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
Seasonal Italian Restaurant. Focused on Handmade pasta, bread and pizza. We get all of our products as locally sourced as possible.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: James Trees

From the OpenTable editors: When James Beard-nominated chef James Trees opened Esther’s Kitchen in 2018, he helped put the Arts District on the city’s culinary map. Now in a stylish new space with an open kitchen and whimsical animal wallpaper, the refined Italian spot still turns out the same wood-fired sourdough pizzas and knockout pastas (get the rigatoni carbonara with snap peas) that made it an instant Vegas classic.

    Amazing food, great mix of classic and nouveau Italian food. Delicious bread and pasta made in house. Everything very fresh, extensive reasonabl wine list and amazing service. Servers and bus people worked very hard on a very busy evening and we were amazed how attentive the service was. So many great things on the menu you can make numerous visits and enjoy a fabulous meal on each occasion. We will definitely go back soon.

    Their operation works for them, it doesn’t for me. Obviously, they have a clientele that accepts it.

    Our waiter was too busy talking to come to our table when we sat down. After 10 minutes he came to take our order. It was a Monday and not busy. We ordered a Caesar salad with chicken on it which we did not receive chicken on it. We ordered meatballs on the side because we wanted protein,he made such a big deal that he was going to have to ask the manager to remove the charge for the chicken. We ask for the check and a to go box because we had to go to the airport. He did give us our check right away but after waiting 5 minutes for the to go box we just left the bread and spread. I’m hard press to return since there are so many good place to eat in the Art district.

    When I was choosing where to eat with my friends I wanted to choose somewhere where everyone would enjoy the food. Some of the people in my group have special diets, and all of their needs were met. I was hoping to eat somewhere that would repair my own relationship with food, and this place really helped me do that. Food can be just the medicine you are looking for, and I would consider Esther's a spot for culinary healing :D. Definitely coming back.

    We go to Esther’s about once a month and it’s always outstanding m, however this visit was exceptional. After an amazing breakfast, our incredible bartender offered us a very nice desert and 2 glasses of champagne because it is our anniversary. So thoughtful! Love this place!!

    Wonderful evening and excellent food. The tables for 2 are super small for Italian type dishes but the waitress did a good job navigating. The boar lasagna was excellent and the bread is WOW!

    Had the best meal ever at Esther’s last year. Returned for our anniversary dinner and we were unfortunately disappointed. We essentially got the exact same dishes, but they weren’t nearly as good as before. Pizza was smothered in sauce, the undercarriage was floppy. Potatoes were not crispy. Cacio e pepe was bland. The service was great though. They were able to replace the pizza, but tbh, still wasn’t hitting! Either way, overall, a 3/5 experience. Last year, we were raving Esther’s and it was easily a 5/5 experience. Not sure what has changed…
