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.

    We have long enjoyed Esther’s, and have found the food exceptional in the past. This visit might be an off day, but we weren’t impressed by the food on several counts this visit. My friend and I both didn’t love our pasta dishes. The usually delicious fried cauliflower was this time significantly under seasoned. The bread for the charcuterie board was delayed at least 10 minutes after the meats and cheeses were delivered. I hope this isn’t their new standard, but I’m concerned and not going to race back.

    Our food was amazing as expected. Dan, our server, was fantastic. He was funny, made great suggestions based on our requests, and we never had to ask for refills. It was cute to see all the prom kids in their formal wear. Thank you for another beautiful and delicious evening. We'll be back soon.

    Food was novel and delicious. Creative dishes that I’ve never seen anywhere before. And if that wasn’t enough, everyone who worked there and came by our table was obviously and experienced and well trained professional. Really refreshing!

    The food is delicious and high quality. The tables for two are small but the wait staff managed it well. The manager, Elizabeth, keeps everything on point.

    A beautiful space - feminine modern with textural warmth — and wonderful service surround this delicious menu. Get the bread with three spreads — the anchovy was our fave. The chopped salad was light with its herby olives and olive dressing (the tomatoes were so good). The mushroom pizza was very good and a little rich; the bright margarita was a delicious foil and a must-order. The drink She’s My Cherry Pie was a refreshing and tart delight. So good; will def return.

    Esther's menu is all from scratch - from the phenomenal sourdough bread and spreads to their pastas and pizzas. The drinks and desserts are also so fresh and incredible! The ambiance is eclectic and elegant, the diners are energetic and happy, and the service is top notch.

    Not sure what the fuss is all about with this place. Sevice was bad and food was worse. Not worth our time. We were visiting from out of town. Definitely will not be back to this place.
