Best Cozy Restaurants in Lucky Dragon Casino & Hotel

Esther’s Kitchen in downtown Las Vegas is nothing short of a culinary gem. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends that downtown charm with modern elegance. The new location is absolutely stunning—high ceilings, beautiful wall accents, and sleek, loft style touches give the space a cozy yet upscale vibe. It’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a true celebration of Italian cuisine, and the chefs' spread is an absolute highlight. The selection of house-made spreads and the amazing sourdough, sets the stage for what’s to come. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared and elegantly plated, showcasing the finest local ingredients with a clear emphasis on authenticity and seasonal flavors. The flavors are bold but balanced, giving you the perfect introduction to the exceptional meal ahead. When it comes to the main courses, Esther’s Kitchen truly shines. The pastas are exceptional—handmade and cooked to perfection. The MARGHERITA PIZZA, for example, is served with a rich, savory sauce that perfectly clings to each slice of pizza. The FAZZOLETTI, another standout, is cooked with precision, its layers perfectly balanced while the meat remains juicy and flavorful. Whether you’re craving something hearty or a lighter fare, the offerings are designed to satisfy all tastes, with seasonal touches that elevate each dish. The wine list is equally impressive, offering a selection of reds, whites, and bubbles that perfectly complement the bold flavors of the menu. The service is warm and attentive, with staff who are knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings, making the entire experience well worth while. Thank you Jessy, who was our first interaction here. You set the stage for the rest of our night. And a huge thank you to Nelson for taking care of us for the rest of it.

It was a great experience! From the start with the hostess who was very sweet and accommodation to our server Felicia who was very attentive and sweet. She communicated everything perfectly to us and always made sure we were happy. She even gave great recommendations and helped snap a photo of us at the end! The ambience is beautiful as always. The food was delicious and even the other servers helping out were amazing. Nothing but compliments all around!

Of course the food was perfect, from appetizers through the desserts. We had a variety of main courses in our group, including the Beef Wellington, of course. Apparently the salmon was excellent as it disappeared quickly. Truffle/lobster mac and cheese, the Caesar salads and the onion soup were also big hits.

We had a group of 6 for a guys weekend. The food was great and the atmosphere was awesome. My only complaint was that the restaurant was so dark, I couldn't really see the lobster bits in my pasta. I think they should turn up the lights, just a bit.

Usually a near empty room,but last night was half full;there4,theONEwaitperson was overwhelmed,so service wasSLOW! The happy hour menu is good,Good,GOOD& extremely well priced! I highly recommend this restaurante! The only issue is that the AhernLuxuryBoutiqueHotel—&Ottimo GourmetKitchen . . . —is owned by an ardent TRUMPER!
