I can’t get a weekend reservation at Esther’s Kitchen. In case you don’t know…Esther’s Kitchen is a popular downtown Italian Restaurant located in the Arts District. The original location that was next door was very small but I was able to get a reservation there a few times and once at the newest location. The new location is at least triple the size. I’ve been there once with a reservation and tried to reserve a spot again. I couldn’t make a reservation on-line so I called. I was told that they were booked for a month but I could wait for a bar seat or make a reservation for during the week. I do note that I haven’t had any trouble with reservations at Esther’s Kitchen’s sister Restaurants in Summerlin (Ada’s Food & Wine and also Al Solito Posto that actually is a little nicer than Esther’s in my opinion). Esthers Kitchen is a good restaurant but hey Monzu’s Bread is better so BAH!
One of 2025 most anticipated restaurants is NOT COMING to the Wynn.
James Beard and Michelin Starred Chef and Restauranteur Fabio Trabocchi is not bring his Mediterranean Seafood Restaurant Fiola Mare to the Wynn.
The Las Vegas Review Journal still posts that Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are still opening their Rock and Brews Restaurant in 2023 in The Strat……….,So I reckon that’s also not coming.
A much better fit would have been in the Rio because they already have a Kiss Museum.
And a KISS Monster Golf there.
At Resorts World the highly Anticipated Sister Restaurant of the Michelin Starred Stubborn Seed Restaurant opened. It’s by James Beard Nominated, Bravo Top Chef Jeremy Ford……………..I made a reservation and canceled it because all reservations at the time I made my reservation I had to check what tasting menu that I was ordering from. I had to order one of the tasting menus. I’m certain that the food is amazing but I don’t fancy a few of the dishes on those menus. I contacted Stubborn Seed on Facebook and asked if a substitute could be made. They thanked me for contacting them and never answered. ….BAH!………………Since then…….. I read that the Ala Carte Menu is only offered at the bar without a reservation. So now I know I can never get a nice table in the dining room there unless I fancy every plate on one of the tasting menus. Bah!
