Old Fashioned's Father!  Has Pernod in it for a nice black liquorice flavor!
Lizzy L.

Come here for the steak and service!! :) Alder & Birch had been on my mental eating list for yearssss and I finally made it!! Upon entering the double glass doors (love that the restaurant is closed off from the rest of the hotel), we were politely greeted by the sweet hostess! Drew took care of us for the night and was a pleasure! I think he can have a side gig as a comedian! ;) My husband got the ribeye special for the night that was cooked beautifully as a medium rare!!! I ordered the Chilean sea bass and made the wrong choice...womp womp! I should have gone with the steak or tried the prime rib. The sea bass wasn't that flavorful and wasn't the thick, buttery Chilean sea bass I was expecting. The tummy tastes and learns...all good. The wagyu beef meatballs, duck fat fries, lavash from the bread tray, and lemon tart stood out for me!! Wagyu beef meatballs: Fillling and delicious with the bread toasted in oil! Duck fat fries: Say no more!! Once you go with duck fat, no other fry compares to the crispness! Lavash: This is more like a lavish cracker with a slight cheddar cheese flavor to it. Fun to munch on! Reminded me of a thin cheeze-it, heehee! Lemon tart: The lemon half made of white chocolate is amazing as it looks and feels so real!! The tart crust was so buttery and crisp, and for those who like lemon desserts, the lemon flavor was strong with this one (in a good way)! Take a bite with a little bit of everything on the plate and it is yum, yum, yummm!! Oh, and how I can I forget the Old Fashioned's Father cocktail!! A fun twist on traditional old fashioneds! The Pernod liqueur in it made it a good palate cleanser between courses! Alder & Birch, thank you for the great service and delicious food! I got to come back for the ribeye! :p

I'm disappointed, but I have never seen this place inside of the Orleans Casino before. I would've already been there. But now that I know we will definitely go back. We were nicely greeted at the desk with a smile very friendly promptly served. Our food server. She was very kind and gave us fast service and friendly. All of the meals that we had were very enjoyable and the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. Our steaks were cooked perfect, oysters tender and delicious and the drinks were absolutely delicious. We will definitely go back.

My friend and I walked in on a Saturday and ate dinner at the bar, no waiting. The mushrooms were my favorite, but it was all tasty. We shared a bottle of wine, nice selections at a decent price. The service was friendly and the bartender was engaging, although busy as he serves the entire bar. Luckily the smoke of the casino does NOT waft in. I would go again when in Vegas. Orleans is off the strip, but this place is still pricey $200+ for 2 of us.

Crème Brûlée

It's a yes on food, drinks and service! Located inside The Orleans hotel off strip, this restaurant checked all the boxes for us. Good for large groups and celebrations. Steaks were cooked to perfection. As in most steakhouses, steaks and sides are ordered a la carte. To start they bring out a beautiful arrangement of breads for you to choose from and continue to come back to offer more. Our waiter was so patient with all of my mom's questions lol and we ended up having a great dinner. It was not cheap but definitely cheaper than what we would've paid on strip.

8 ounce fillet
Amanda I.

Great experience at the Orleans. Starting off with your meal with a bread basket this basket is enormous with variety of different bread that you can try and it's unlimited so indulge. Try all of them get multiple ones. Take some to go. Next, the sides definitely recommend the duck fat french fries they were the biggest hit across everyone we were sitting by we tried the Gouda mac & cheese wasn't really my thing, but it wasn't a bad dish would definitely want to try the blue cheese, scallop potatoes, or the enormous baked potato loaded. We had two different cuts of steak 16 ounce New York strip was amazing. I'm more of a medium steak person, but the medium came across more medium rare but still it was delicious. Try it paired with the Madagascar peppercorn sauce and you can't go wrong. we also had the 8 ounce fillet, which was amazing but would pass on any sauce mixed with this cut of steak. The ambience is very romantic, quiet and very intimate. The servers were amazing always made sure we were looked after. Pricing is a typical steakhouse, but the ounces of steak that you get definitely make it worth your while.

Bone-In Ribeye Steak* king crab & nasty butter.this place used to be good
Mackenzie B.

Went here a yr ago & thought it was the most amazing enough my bro wanted to come back for the holidays. This was not even close to last experience. They didn't have the bottle of wine on the short list 1st, then the wedge salad didn't have the glaze that made the salad instead brought me a vinaigrette terrible. The steak came out well when I asked for medium rare & had to ask for it to be redone. King crab seemed like it was done for a while, not warm & butter was sitting out. The waiter Greg was nice, but the bus boy was trying harder. No accommodations after many issues. I was trying to take my son out for an amazing new years dinner Dec 30th. Terrible.

July baby!

After a 9-10 hour drive from Long Beach to Las Vegas (traffic due to spilled chemical on the 15 in July), I was starving! My friend, who lives there, took me out to dinner here, after I dropped off everything in the hotel room, to make me feel better and celebrate my bday! Awww! What a special treat! We were the last customers in because it was past 8:30 and I think they were closing soon. I'm so grateful for you guys! Amazing service with a smile! Food was amazing! The ambiance was romantic and classy and I will definitely be back someday! So the pictures are out of order but we started off with: - Some bread, butter and I asked for olive oil and vinegar and black pepper (that mix is the best!) - A mixed salad with ranch - Then the crab bisque? Omg! So yummy! My friend got full! - The steak was bomb! I got it medium rare...but it's ok to get medium. The scalloped blue cheese potatoes were amazing too! Definitely need to mix it in because it's strong so eat with the steak. - The drinks were yummy! I forgot what I got but so refreshing and hit the spot. - Then the DESSERT! Omg! How can you not have dessert? They brought it out for my bday without charge! Thank you so so much! The trip already was much better and I forgot all about the traffic coming up here for my business event and training! You guys make this my favorite restaurant in Vegas! Love you guys!

Crème Brûlée. Had to try theirs and it was perfect.
Alicyn C.

Our waitress is one of the best! Her name is Andrya. She's very personable and makes you feel at home. She's friendly and very attentive. The food were just remarkable. I went here several times during my stay. It's very calming here. I do recommend if you don't mind spending the extra cash for comfort. Andrya made the experience worth it.

Located in The Orleans hotel & casino not too far from hotel registration. We did t eat here however my husband frequented the bar for his old fashioneds. Impressed by the bartender who served him the 1st night & 4 nights later remembered him & his drink order. Pricy but worth it! Upscale but comfortable!

Lamb Chops
Nette B.

Solid 4 Stars. Our server was Michael, and he was professional and nice. Beautiful ambiance and good for large parties. Food: Rib Eye Steak Asparagus Baked Potato Lamb Chops Short Rib House Chopped Salad Tempura Rock Shrimp The steaks and lamb were cooked perfectly. Asparagus was an added touch. The least favorite was the creme brulee and baked potato, but my favorite, in which I returned the next day to eat this dish again, was the Tempura Rock Shrimp. On my 2nd visit, I ordered a House Chopped Salad and that was awful. I had to return it because it was overdressed. Overall, the service was good and the food was delcious. I would definitely return again.

Truffle Gouda Mac
Danica B.

This restaurant was fine dining at its best. Food was excellent. Service was top notch and atmosphere was a perfect setting for the celebration. Server was engaging and knowledgeable about to menu and provided recommendations. Definitely worth experiencing when in Vegas.

Colorado Lamb Rack*
Ambe C.

I came to this restaurant last summer to meet my mom for dinner prior to going to the Usher concert. Since that visit, I have dreamed about the next time I would be in Vegas so I could dine here again and order the DELICIOUS mushroom side. Well, I'm back for Superbowl and made sure I had reservation at Alder & Birch so I could order the Wild Mushroom Gratine. In addition to the side, I ordered the rack of lamb, truffle Mac and, Alaskan King crab. Everything was so good! Big props to our server, Drew, that provided excellent service and recommended the mac.

Michael Russell with cake
Michael R.

The hostess got us seated right away and was very friendly. The booth was very comfortable, and the ambience was well lit with a fireplace inside as well. I had a prime rib dinner with brussels sprouts and duck fries. The prime rib was cooked very well. The brussels sprouts were outstanding so were the duck fries. Our waitress Andrya was extremely polite, nice & friendly. She did an amazing job! If you're looking for a place to get some steak or prime rib, this is the spot. I recommend Alder and Birch restaurant at New Orleans casino.

Hello James, We do allow guests to bring in wine, but do charge a corkage fee of $20.

Is there a happy hour?

Yes! And it is definitely worth it. Wide selection of choices at great prices.

Can I bring my 3 yr old on regular hours and dine in?

No because happy hour is in the bar area.

Petrol Head is an incredibly awesome late night spot! You'll find them near Honey Pig Korean BBQ,…read moreand right behind True Matcha. They have visible signage out front, but the parking and entrance are in the back. To get there, drive around the building and turn right into the back alley, you'll see a cornered parking lot. Inside is a dimly lit atmosphere that's inviting, casual, laid back and cozy with awesome background music. I was listening to an interesting song by Empire of the Sun called "Ask That God," which has a bittersweet melody but a happy upbeat 80s tempo. It's like an ethereal song with dancing beats, truly captivating and fantastic! Menu offers a nice selection of appetizers, wings, mains, smash burgers, as well as dinner for two, late night pit stop, and desserts. For refreshments, they have beer, wine, sake, and zero proof. I asked if they had non-alcoholic drinks like iced tea but they don't carry it, only sodas and bar drinks. I chose iced water with lemon instead, which is still good and cooling! I was curious to try a light snack, and the bartender Marcela recommended the Musubis. She mentioned I could do a mix-and-match. So I ordered Musubis (2 pieces, $10), one with Spam and the other with Portuguese sausage, and both are amazingly tasty! The Portuguese sausage has good flavor, it's tender with a light soft chew, and tastes great with rice, so YUM! Spam Musubi is also delicious! It's a lovely pan-fried crisp spam with a slight sweetness, and has furikake on rice, such a satisfying snack and really good! Service from Marcela is outstanding! She's very kind, welcoming, attentive, courteous, super helpful, and friendly. She is so nice and made time to check in, and even refilling my drink, I appreciate it! Her recommendation to get the Musubis was excellent! Just a note, they open every day from 5pm to 1am, with the last call for food orders at 12:30am. There's also a live DJ on Mondays and Tuesdays, especially for Taco Tuesday with Latin music playing all night, and free karaoke is included with food purchase on Thursdays. I checked out the karaoke room, and it's very cozy with comfy seating. Petrol Head is definitely a great spot to hangout, unwind, enjoy good food, and refreshing drinks!

I'm a local and live nearby, so I was looking forward to finally checking it out. Unfortunately, the experience was soured right at the entrance. The security guard(black dude) wouldn't allow us to bring our water bottles and canteens inside. Given the Las Vegas heat, I found this policy unreasonable, especially when we were simply trying to stay hydrated. I didn't feel like arguing with the guy about it, so we decided not to go in. For context, four of us had walked about 25 minutes to get there. It was disappointing to make that effort only to turn around without even getting the opportunity to experience the place. We ended up at a neighboring bar that didn't complain about water. I understand businesses have rules to follow, but the way policies are enforced and how customers are treated at the door matter. Unfortunately, this was enough to put me off visiting, and it's a shame because I had been meaning to check the place out for a while.

John, the bartender, or shall I say Alchemist, knew what he was doing. We had five cocktails because the menu was so fascinating.

But don't fret tomato haters, my boyfriend, who is one of you, couldn't even taste it. Now let's move on to the food. We did order both the specials because they sounded so delicious, and boy were they. The carbonara was our favorite, almost as good as you'd get it in Rome. Chandi, the chef, even mentioned the egg yolk being there to add a more creamy texture. We'd come back just to try that again. The Chilean Sebass was also delectable, a little heavy on the butter but so good nonetheless. Service was wonderful, between John and Alexis we never felt neglected. Although it was fairly empty, it was a Wednesday night, the ambiance was cozy and casual. The decor was tasteful and some of the signs gave me a good laugh. Definitely worth the add to your cocktail/restaurant list. We will be back.

Cool spot to check out as it is very dark and intimate with a pool table and lots of booths, tables, and high top seating. Good place to come with friends to chill. We only ordered drinks since we came from dinner. I ordered the lychee bloom and charanda's incantation. Our server said that the 2 I ordered were their sweetest cocktails. My friend ordered the matcha tonic. All cocktails were good but the matcha tonic was shockingly very good. It tasted super refreshing and I would order that again! Only downside of this place was on the night we went they told us they ran out of a lot of ingredients to make some of their cocktails so their menu ended up being limited. I would come here again to try their food which sounded good as I read them off the menu. Definitely worth checking this place out!

Hands down one of the best steak and lobster meals I've ever had in my life, and the fact that Herbs & Rye offers half-off steaks during their daily happy hour makes it that much better. The quality of food you're getting for the price is almost unbelievable, especially in Las Vegas. Everything about this meal was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked steak to the lobster. It's the kind of dinner you find yourself thinking about weeks later. My only complaint? I can't come here more often! Reservations can be tough to snag, but that just tells me everyone else has figured out how incredible this place is. Between the intimate atmosphere, fantastic food, and incredible value, Herbs & Rye is one of the best date night spots in Las Vegas. There's a reason this place has earned such a great reputation.

We had been to Herbs & Rye a few times in the past just for cocktails and I can't recommend enough the bar service. Excellent quality ingredients and knowledgeable mixologists who are happy to customize any drink to your taste. The restaurant interior is a cool speakeasy vibe. It's bustling but in a good way. For dinner we had a party of three and we started with the French onion soup, the wedge salad and the beef sliders. The soup was very bland - it was in dire need of salt and the cheese was not flavorful at all (it was maybe a mozzarella or some other melty application?) It needs to be a greuyere or something else with a kick. The salad also was in need of seasoning. The ingredients were good quality but the dish was overall bland. The sliders were ok - the horseradish sauce was a welcome bit of flavor. For entrees we shared the blue cheese pork chop, the filet and the cacio y pepe pasta with sides of creamed corn and sweet potato tots. I ordered the pork chop medium and unfortunately it was served well done (and as a result very dry). The flavors were ok but the garlic mashed potatoes on the side were also extremely dry. The filet and pasta were fine - nothing to write home about. The sweet potato tots were probably (and sadly) the highlight of the meal. Clearly homemade and very fresh and tasty. The creamed corn was way too loose and as a result lacked very much flavor. We finished with the dessert platter which presented each of the menu desserts but in a smaller portion. The only item I cared for was the apple bread pudding. The rest of the items weren't prepared properly. For example the crème brûlée custard was overcooked and broken and most of everything else was also overcooked and dry. Because this is an independent locals place we really wanted to love it but I just can't recommend it for a dinner. Cocktails yes; food no. On the bright side the service is excellent. Our server Victor took great care of us and the food runners and bussers are awesome. Dinner for three came to $239 before tax and tip which included three glasses of wine and one cocktail. If the food preparation was just a little bit better it'd be one of the best values in Vegas.

Came here for Mother's Day and honestly had such a beautiful experience from start to finish. The…read moreambiance immediately stood out the velvet red decor, dim lighting, and music created such a fun but still upscale vibe. It felt like the perfect mix of lounge and restaurant energy, making it great for both celebrations and date nights. The food was really good as well. We had the miso salmon, Hamachi fried rice tacos, Caesar salad, and shrimp, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well presented. The tacos were definitely one of my favorites and something I'd order again. I also appreciated their drink menu. They have a great variety of cocktails, but I especially loved that they offer non alcoholic drinks that still look and feel elevated instead of just being an afterthought. Overall, the service, atmosphere, and food made this a really enjoyable experience. You can tell a lot of thought went into the aesthetic and overall vibe of the place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again, especially for a date night or girls night.

We went here on a Thursday night with a group of family and friends…read more Love that parking was open and there were plenty of spots. We were warmly greeted and shown to our area. The decor and ambiance was chic and inviting, and it was more of a night time and intimate, (lounge) feel. The backbar looked stacked (will definitely need to grab a drink during a future visit). The menu looked good, but unfortunately it seemed like it was not up to date (ran out of the desserts were were hoping to order). We got the Fried Brussel Sprouts, Fried Jumbo Chicken Wings, Thai Citrus Hamachi, Charred Caesar Salad, Oxtail Fried Rice, Seared Salmon, Tsunami Burger, and Cucumber Salad. The food was phenomenal. The Brussel Sprouts flavorful with a hint of spice. The chicken wings were also nice and juicy and crispy, with a hint of spice. The charred salad was perfect and the cucumber salad was also quite delicious and tender. The burger and fries cooked appropriately. The hamachi was also nice and tender and juicy. The Oxtail fried rice was ok, I guess I expected a little more flavor. It just seemed like the service was extremely lacking. Like we got our dishes, but seemed to have to ask a bit for the food. Same with refills on water or soda, it was a bit of a wait. I understand that when it is busy (place was only 1/3 full on a Thursday night) it can be challenging to provide good and timely service. It seemed like the service was lagging and when we inquired about items, we were a nuisance to the staff. After inquiring about the desserts and finding out they were unavailable, we left after paying. If I were to be able to rate with half stars, this would've gotten a 3.5. I'd be willing to try this place again, but just if the service changes.

I feel a bit of shame being a Vegas local and sharing that I've legit NEVER been to VooDoo Lounge…read morebefore this past weekend. And what a cool spot it was! We were at the Rio to see a show, and after the show decided we wanted to keep hanging out there and enjoying. At one of the bars we randomly stopped at on the property before the show, one of the bartenders gave us a buy one get one free cocktail for VooDoo Lounge if we went. And there was no cover charge to get in! Sold! We decided to head up there after the show. This spot is locaed on the 51st (I believe) floor of the hotel but you enter on the second floor and take an elevator up. After a quick check our IDs and search of our bags and whatnot, we were able to take the elevators upstairs. As soon as we got there, I booked it for the outside patio. I mean, come on, you have to! This is really what sold me. WOW! It's STUNNING up there! Amazing views on the Strip unlike anything I've ever seen before. There was also a DJ up there and he was playing great music. For a Friday night, it wasn't super busy, but still really nice. We were able to sit wherever we wanted, as the tables and lounge seating was totally open for everyone to enjoy. We took in the beautiful views and each had a cocktail. Our server was outstanding and did a great job waiting on us. Sadly, we were getting a Vegas thunderstorm underway so the DJ had to stop and security all ushered us inside. Still, nonetheless, this was such a cool experience and one I'll continue to talk about. Definitely go if you can!

I'm not sure what kind of transition the place is going through but it's rough in here…read more It's pretty empty when you come in from the parking garage. It was a Saturday night at 9pm, we were greeted by very friendly staff both downstairs and upstairs. We went out to the terrace to enjoy the view and took over a lounge seating space. The 3 of us ordered a fishbowl which was great but we didn't stay longer because the place was empty and the DJ played the same beat for the entire hour we were there. It's a shame that this has gone so downhill. When I went to the bathrooms I noticed the water damage on the walls and the lack of maintenance so it sealed my fate to not return for a while. This used to be the spot but it's a little scary anywhere in the casino.
