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.

    As I regular when I visit Las Vegas I have always looked forward to the food at Esther's, however, tonight, the food was ok, that was not my issue. My issue was Becky at the front desk. We came in and checked in for our reservation, no problem. Becky at the desk said that they were just waiting for a table to get up and then we would be seated. Therefore, I expected the next table for my size party of 3 would be ours. Well it wasn't. I merely walked to the desk and said to her, I thought the next table was going to be ours, where she proceeded to say and I quote, "I never said that" and I said, actually yes you did. She proceeded to argue with me that that is "Not what she said". My colleagues were with me and verified exactly what she said and she proceeded to have an attitude with me. We were then seated at the next table. The Bar Manager came to our table and said that he was very sorry which I appreciate and that she should have never reacted the way she did. I do appreciate the effort in visiting with us, however, 5 minutes later he is at the desk laughing with her like nothings wrong. This has been a regular for us for a long time, however, it has drastically dropped down my list due to Becky at the desk. It was truly one of the most rude and un-customer friendly experiences I have had in a long time and unfortunately those things stick with me. While the food is good, it's not worth the attitude we received tonight at dinner. Becky needs to be knocked down a few rungs on the ladder and learn a few things about the customer experience. Attitude gets you nowhere! I have spent my entire career working with clients and customers alike and can literally say that I have never had someone want to ruin my dinner experience like Becky did tonight. It will take a lot for me to keep this on my list for my next visit sadly.
