Esther’s Kitchen is a locally sourced Italian Cuisine Restaurant located in downtown Las Vegas Nevada in the Arts District. They made their own sourdough, breads, pastas, pizzas, and more. This restaurant recently moved from a smaller location next door. The restaurant is named after the chef’s aunt.

WOW! It’s at least triple the size of the old Esther’s.

Past the hostess desk are dining tables and a large bar with more tables. To the left of the hostess desk is part of the open kitchen where I can see they are making pasta.

This is the dining area and open kitchen by the entrance. You can’t see it in my photo but there is a smaller dining area to the left of this area. Wow it is really loud in here…not music either…just a lot of people in conversation.

We started out by sharing a smoked ocean trout toast.

The made-in-house toasted sourdough is very good and so is the creamy thick cream cheese. Silky fresh smoked Ocean Trout, sweet heirloom tomatoes, onion, and fresh herbs complete the toast.

I tried the Cauliflower Alla Romana because it sounded interesting and not too heavy (anchovy, chili, garlic, fried capers, parsley).

It’s different……..The cauliflower has a starchy coating but the cauliflower is almost raw. The pieces on the top are just hard and starchy. The bottom pieces have a lot of anchovy and maybe capers and some are too salty. This is far more filling than it looks. I brought a bunch home.

My husband ordered one of the dishes that they do best……They called it rigatoni (house. made) Carbonara (egg yolk, house made guanciale & peas….((not sure if it had peas in it?)))

Well whatever this pasta is my husband said that it was very good.

That was Brunch at the NEW Esther’s Kitchen.

Every THING is subject to change.

The Millside Tavern is located in North Las Vegas. They offer 24/7 gaming, 24 beers on tap, all day breakfast, happy hour, taco Tuesday, and a full mostly American food menu.

.On one side are high top tables and pool tables. There is a door to a patio but the patio doesn’t have tables yet.

To the other side are more tables and a bar.

And somewhere in the middle is a troll collection.

Happy Hour is very reasonable and 4-7 daily.

Tried chicken pot stickers and a glass of house wine.

The pot stickers are steamed and fried on one side like they should be.

These aren’t very flavorful potstickers and the dipping sauce is unappealing. It taste like a 5 year old mixed up an odd concoction.

For dinner I tried the fish and chips.

The fish is fried to perfection. The fish is nice, mild, and seems fresh. The crust is nice and thin and shattering crisp. Tartar sauce can pass as bland ranch dressing. The fries are ok but only Luke warm. BUT THE VEGETABLE SALAD IS UNPALATABLE…..It’s a mix of all kinds of things that don’t go together.You’d have to pay me LOTS OF MONEY to taste it again so I can tell you more about it.

My husband tried the bacon wrapped meatloaf with tater tots and vegetable. (we were told that it is a beef meatloaf)

My husband said that the meatloaf was ok but the broccoli was plain and unseasoned.

Not the best………Maybe better for beer drinking.
