    We had a wonderful meal at Esther's on Wed Dec 18th. We started and ended our evening in the cocktail bar (2nd level) with Jasper as our bartender. He made us speciality drinks, shared drink ideas and really enhanced our experience. Our meal was outstanding. I have food allergies and the Chef accommodate my needs with no issues. The waiter was excellent, efficient and fun. This was our first meal at their new location. We will be back!!

    Always a great experience at Piero’s. While the food is very good, it’s the staff that brings us back every time. When we’re in Vegas for 3 nights, 2 of those are spent at Piero’s. We’re treated like family every visit.

    Excellent lunch. Shared the deviled eggs, Brussel sprout Caesar salad, carrots, and brownie dessert. It was plenty for 2, in fact I took some salad and carrots home. Everything was yummy and service was perfect. It was a Monday afternoon and I had made reservations but would not have been necessary. Give Carson Kitchen a try. Be adventurous though. It may not sound good when reading the menu, but trust me, it’s all good!
