Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in The Flamingo

It was our first time in Virgil's and the experience was great! It was Christmas night and we were able to book a table quickly. The ambiance was festive and there was live (Christmas) music which was a nice touch. Food was good, we had Beef Brisket and BBQ Chicken and they both were tasty and arrived quickly. The service was the best part. Hostesses were friendly and accomodating and our server was frequently checking in on us even though it was a full house. Great overall experience and would not hesitate to go back!

This was my first trip to Vegas in over 30 years. We came specifically to check out the restaurant scene. Esther's Kitchen was the only restaurant we selected that was off the strip, and boy was it worth the (very short) trip. We came for lunch, were greeted by friendly staff and seated immediately. The vibe is hip, casual, and super comfortable. I ordered the roasted mushroom pizza and the pear and radicchio salad. The pizza may have been the best I have ever tasted (and I've eaten A LOT of NYC pizza). The crust was heavenly and the combination of mushroom, cheese and garlic was perfection. But wait, that salad; I'm still dreaming about it!! It had the most incredible sherry vinaigrette and roasted hazelnuts with blue cheese. Hubby ordered the charcuterie board and the kale salad. The board had an abundance of delicious salty meats, fine cheeses, picked vegetables and grilled sourdough bread with butter and strawberries in saba. Just delicious!!! We ordered way too much food for the two of us, but managed to finish most of it. You could EASILY split a pizza and a salad and be completely satisfied. Next time we're in Vegas, we will DEFINITELY come back to Esther's.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Sparrow + Wolf and we're glad that we did. The experience was amazing from the food to the amazing service provided by everyone. Everyone was so attentive and pleasant.

Golden Steer Steakhouse is a great restaurant to try atleSt once whole in Vegas. Social media has added to the notariaty of this restaurant, which in turn is reflected in the high price for the meal. The lobster, although good, is overpriced. It appears that the prices have increased over the past few months. The steaks are great but too overpriced. The service is top notch, no issues there. But the dress code requirements, although a nice rule, are not consistent.

Mark was our server and he was hands down the best server we have yet in Vegas. Super welcoming and warm to all of our requests and questions. The food was amazing, even for our kids who are picky eaters. From Margaritas & nachos, to ice cream sundaes, everyone had an amazing time at dinner.
