Say hello to Smart and Pretty.
Yes, we're talking about the name of the drink.
No, we can't guarantee the results.
It's a clarified milk punch that’s silky on the palate with a bright finish - made with Cognac, banana, basil, balsamic honey and lemon.

A cool creamy delight, perfect for the warmer weather!🌞
Vanilla semifreddo layered with homemade walnut cookies, Amaro gel, brown butter powder and light cocoa whipped cream make it light and mouth-watering.
Let's be real, it's better than Grandma's house.

Our Assistant General Manager Liz Guadian might seem like a seasoned hospitality pro when you see her on the floor, but you'd be surprised to learn it's only one of several career pursuits she already has under her young belt. Although she's been in management roles since the age of 17, she's explored cut and sew clothing industry and dispensaries as well as the food & beverage world.
Liz prides herself on longevity and the positive impact she can make on every guest's experience.
Originally from Yakima, Washington but raised right here in Vegas, Liz loves to hike, play pool and practice her painting when not on the clock. Her preferred cocktail from Esther's current list is the Cured intentions and her favorite pasta is the Zucca.
Say hello to Liz next time you're in!

One of our latest lunchtime hits is this East Coast Roast Beef Dip.
We roast the beef low and slow, then slice it up and serve in a beef, veal and Worcestershire au jus with our horseradish cheese sauce, melted provolone, chives and caramelized onions on a Bar Boheme baguette.
Take that, Brooklyn!

People ask who did the design of the new Esther’s Esther's Kitchen. It was my sister Amanda working with Vinni LaPadula. He did the custom designed wallpapers, the pictures designs and installs. The menu wall on the way to the restrooms was a great idea that he brought to life.
He even did the original Esthers! So if you want the best local place, use the best local people.
Thank you Vinni for making our dreams come to life so we get to share them every day with our community.
