    Where do I start with how amazing this place is! The ambience is absolutely gorgeous! The staff is phenomenal. The drinks are deliciously and perfectly crafted. And the Longganisa sliders and short rib fried rice were definitely a delicious favorite! They have a wonderful happy hour weekdays 3 to 6 PM and I cannot wait to go back for brunch! The bar back Tyler was amazing, super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and his customer service skills were literally impeccable! Alex, our bartender was top notch and never skipped a beat. My first cocktail "The rose" was perfectly crafted super smooth and had a gorgeous presentation with a beautiful red rose. But don't sleep on the "Tea for 2" or 1 .... Absolutely gorgeous presentation and it tastes like no other! This is not your ordinary restaurant/bar in the art District. This place is truly a gem!

    Omg!!!! This place is a gem! Food, service, ambiance A++++ Staff is extremely friendly from the moment I arrived. The shrimp toast was delicious and my Lucy in the Sky was amazing. If you're in the Arts District or just looking for a place to offer something different then this is the place for you. Rather it be date night, girls night, or a place to enjoy solo (like me :-) ) you won't be disappointed I promise!!!

    Love exploring the Art District of Vegas. So many great restaurants to try. We finally made for Sunday brunch at Palate. I can tell you it didn't disappoint. First of we made reservation and got a deal with inKind app to use. We paid our meal via the app and got reward back. Ok let's talk about the food. There is a pretty good selection on the menu. We decided to do family style and share our dishes- our waiter did offer if we like to increase the amount of sliders to cover all five us- decided to just order the dishes as is and we sliced it. We ordered oysters, biscuits, grits and gravy, longanisa sliders, and half bird. Love each dish. The chicken was moist and flavorful- it was accompanied by collard greens and amazing kimchi Mac and cheese. Biscuits is so good and came with flavored butter and jam. Longanisa sliders was juicy with accompanying season fries. We enjoyed the all you can drink mimosas. And our coffee was refilled by our attentive servers. Make sure to make room for dessert- we shared the deconstructed hummingbird and hot brownies with homemade made ube ice cream with coconut/pineapple sauce. Both dessert were perfect. We totally love the vibe- with live music- the singer was totally amazing - don't forget to tip him as well. Definitely coming back and will try dinner. Only thing in the art district is the street parking but pretty easy to find one.

    So so so cute inside. You're really kind of taken back by all the vibes but it somehow all fits so well. They had a DJ mixing Rihanna, while I sit on purple velvet chairs looking at a menu that serve longganisa. The menu itself is so interesting, and you think omg that's kind of funny but then you taste the food! Your eyes widen and your jaw kind of drops because WHY DIDNT ANYBODY THINK OF THIS BEFORE??? I was sooooo happy with this meal. I had never been to the arts district, it was a nice sun day away from the strip with just as amazing food if you were on the strip. PLEASE do yourself a favor and visit!

    The decor is amazing, service was great. Food was incredible. We started eating as soon as the plates came. Lol we didn't even take photos. My benedict was incredible and Tia Frances loved her advocado toast and her husband loved the chicken and grits. We will for sure come back.

    Quality/Quantity - Got lucky and they started a "Boards & Bottles" promotion today, Wednesday. So my wife insisted that we get this. Beef Tartare with a bottle of Finca Tempranillo to compliment it for only $25. What a great deal. We also ordered the following: Short Rib Fried Rice - Happy hour price and size. Sliders with Fries - Again, Happy hour prices and size. Overall all the food was good. And as light eaters, more than enough food for us. Oh, complimentary cotton candy with the check, thanks. Ambiance - Cool new place, see pictures. Table, booth, lounge, and bar seating available. Open kitchen. 3 unisex restrooms. Also thanks for the sinks outside of the bathrooms. Open 5 days a week, see website for specific hours. Closed Mondays & Tuesdays. Service - 6 stars, Zach, a day one employee was so professional and good! Took care of us from the minute we walked in to when we left. Also, we met the owner, who went straight to work as the expeditor. Price - $52 + tip; I would even say inexpensive for everything we got! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since May of 2024.

    Southern Hospitality (half order)

    Exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble on in Las Vegas. The interior strikes a great balance of lively and refined -- think vibrant colors, plush seating, crystal chandeliers, and walls adorned with local artwork you can actually buy. There's even an open kitchen and a cozy corner with a library of cookbooks to browse while you wait for your food. Service here is attentive and genuinely friendly, embracing that Southern-meets-Vegas hospitality vibe without any of the fake bits. The team made us feel like a welcomed guest. As for the food: from imaginative small plates like scallops "tiger style" with coconut leche de tigre to the show-stopping "Southern Hospitality" large-format fried chicken with sides, every bite felt thoughtfully crafted and full of personality. There's modern Americana with cultural twists on every corner of the menu, and I still can't stop thinking about the creative boards and wagyu. Great ambience, excellent service, and food that's fun, flavorful, and just quirky enough to make you smile. Highly recommend booking a reservation -- your taste buds will thank you.

    This review is based on a first-time visit on 1/7/26. Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed (sans reservation) and taken to a seat. We loved the eclectic decor of the place... especially the bar seats and the giant chandelier in the middle of the restaurant. Like Lee D., we also lucked out on the Wednesday $25 Boards & Bottles deal, which was a platter of delicious duck-derived goodies PLUS a nice bottle of white (can't remember the specifics). I blown away by the amazing value. Following our waiter's recommendation, we also got the Biscuits of the Day which came with a delicious maple butter and jammy preserves. There was something special about those biscuits - I want to say they had a hint of zest or something - so good. The absolutely BEST dish of the night was the Miso Bronzed Pork Belly. Trust me, this is a must get. It was beautifully tender yet crispy on the edges and the accompaniments gave this dish the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and umami. I definitely plan to come back again - specifically on a Wednesday night. 10/10 delicious!

    Right from the door, the wait staff were so lively and kind. They set the tone for the meal and it really helped that everyone was sociable and willing answer questions about the menu. They obviously love to work there and take care of their guests. The restaurant is elegant with quirky decorations and chill ambiance. It is also dog-friendly (they provided water bowls and a dog-friendly menu). I went with friends for a birthday brunch and what a fun experience we had! We drank all the drinks (bottomless mimosas) and ate all the food. The menu is expansive and inspired by American and Asian flavors--very interesting ingredient usage and fusion cuisine with a menu that changes periodically. I think the food execution is done well and emphasis on presentation without detracting from taste. I think food preparation takes a little longer than desired, especially if you are over hungry (so be aware of that); however the meal is very filling and plates are shareable. My water glass was consistently filled without asking, we were checked on frequently without being overbearing, and they always took the time to give recommendations regarding the menu as the meal continued. Overall, it was a great time. Let's eat!

    Oysters. Do not recommend.

    Today we're experiencing Palate in the Arts District. As a reminder, I don't get paid or comped from my reviews, so let's get into it. We entered into a posh, glam Christmas wonderland. This is definitely an Instagram type place. I ordered the Christmas time drink, which was adorable and served in a Charlie Brown style Christmas tree with a drink in the ornament. It was really, really good. We moved on to the homemade biscuits and seasonal jam. Now, I'm not a big biscuit person, but my husband is impossible to impress and said these were the best biscuits he's ever had. Now, this is unfortunately where we take a nose dive... I ordered a dozen oysters, and let me tell you, it was like I was drowning in the Pacific. It was so salty and really hard to get through. Without a doubt the worst oysters I've ever had. My husband got the Easy Like Sunday Morning platter, which looked good, but the potatoes were pretty dry, and it was very middle of the road. I will say the service was top-notch, and they even gave us some complementary cotton candy at the end, which was cute. They've only been open for a year, so hopefully they can make some improvements. I gave this one 2.5 out of five stars.

    This place is beautiful. No way anyone can walk in and see this decor and not feel like they are in for something special. Service is wonderful very attentive and kind staff with knowledge of the menu and specials. The drinks are beautiful. If you get a chance follow the suggestion of my very kind waitress and try the tea for one. Beautiful presentation and the drink has a soft fruity floral taste as well. The happier is a very nostalgic presentation with the ability to roast your own marshmallow. This is a much more whiskey forward drink with notes of chocolate, but not a full chocolate experience. For brunch I ordered the morning glory palate board. I opted for the biscuits rather than the foie cornbread. The banana bread French toast amazing, the pumpkin seed brittle is a soft brittle with a lot of flavor. The biscuits were amazing with the in house prepared jam. The pork belly was so soft and tender you only needed a fork to separate it. The potato rosti was cooked beautifully with soft potatoes, it did lack some flavor though. The frittata was cooked well, and many may truly enjoy it, but I was not aware that there was goat cheese in the frittata and it definitely left an unwanted taste in my mouth. Overall this is a beautiful location and experience.

    This place was absolutely amazing. Zach our server ensured we experienced their best in both service and food. Decor was retro cool, velvet seats. Drinks were all good. My daughter doesn't drink and Zach prepared an awesome mocktail for her. Compliments to the Chef and the Bartender. Also Thank you ZACH!

    $1 oysters
    Ariel B.

    I've really enjoyed my 2 visits to Palate. The staff is really attentive and very friendly. They have lots of recommendations and are the reason we knew to come back for $1 oysters. The ambiance it's very quirky. Interesting art and seating options. Feel a little random and fun. Also love the music that play (live and over the sound system. The food is good and different. The oysters are tasty and we definitely ordered a lot. Their special vinaigrette was good but it was too hard to get the onion out of the bottle with the liquid. Thr scallop carpaccio (don't remember what it was on the menu) gel similar to a ceviche. Very fresh and great flavor. We also ordered the salmon belly, which was good but for the price, I wouldn't get it again. The biscuits were also tasty. I haven't had many savory biscuits a these were really good. When we came before we got one of the charcuterie boards which had some good options. The board was served with the biscuits and while we like both separately, the flavor of the biscuits overpowered the other flavors on the board. The menu has lots of different options. I did have a tough time with were the pricing, Just a little high to me to really try some of the other options on the menu. We do want to try a few more things and we'll definitely go back for happy hour.

They also have a happy hour during weekdays from 3-6 pm I think (don't quote me on this exactly LOL). It's often busy so if you want a table, I recommend making a reservation. Service is always nice and friendly. It's a beautiful place for a drink, to hangout with friends, or show someone while they are visiting Vegas. Best bar in town for decor!!!

    The highlight of this evening was this hidden speakeasy cocktail bar inside the Bellagio!…read more Paisley greeted us as we entered The Vault and let us know that without a reservation we only had the option of seats at the bar. We've have awesome experiences watching bartenders before AND we were determined to stay so we happily agreed. Paisley was a delight to chat with as we waited for only 10 minutes while seats opened up for us at the bar. I also got to check out the restroom, which boasts a high tech toilet with automated opening/flushing and a heated seat! We had the pleasure of meeting Michael our bartender and Yesi the bartender apprentice, and regulars Bill and Kim from Texas on one side of us, and Mario from California on the other as we spent the next hour and half savoring one luxury cocktail each and some complimentary snacks (seasoned pistachio nuts, cheesy crackers, and a little amazing bite that I can't remember the ingredients of). Welcome complimentary drinks: "Key to my heart" -- fun little rum drinks to start off with served in a spherical black case surrounded by dry ice! (See video). A bit sweet for my taste but tasty and just a little shot's worth (to be sipped). Cocktails: La Vie En Rose: (5/5) Rose infused gin, house made strawberry infused sweet vermouth, aperol, orange essence. Gorgeous spherical ice cube with a real flower frozen inside). Described as a summer Negroni. I chose it because I love Negronis and am always up for trying a variation on a classic like that. The Fountain (5/5): bourbon, Punt e mes vermouth (55 year old bottle!), orange essence. The Vault's take on the classic Manhattan. Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off! Little espresso shots at the end....mmm delectable dessert my bites to complete a flawless experience. We'll be back! Michael is a masterful mixologist and Yesi is an awesome apprentice! Highly recommend!

    The Vault is an upscale speakeasy in the Bellagio. It is a true speakeasy in that there is no…read moresignage anywhere. We had to do some research on Yelp and Google to find it. The only hint I'll give is that it's located on the casino floor. When we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess. She asked us if we had reservations or were walking in. I really appreciated this because the way she phrased her question told me they had availability and we would be granted entry. The bar is very small and seats about 30. Reservations are strongly encouraged, however we went on a Monday in February. If you're going on a weeknight during off peak season, you should be okay without a reservation. The hostess gave us the option of sitting at the bar or at a table. We asked her for her rec and she said the bar so that's what we chose. The decor is beautiful. The ambiance is dark and moody. It's perfect for a date night. We were greeted by both bartenders. I believe the bartender that made our drinks was Rory. He was very nice and knowledgeable about cocktails. He was able to answer our questions and make suggestions based on our preferences. As we browsed the menu, we were presented with welcome drinks in a fancy smoky container. I don't recall the name of the drink, but it had a lychee flavor with a sugar rim and it was good! Drinks are extremely pricey which is to be expected in Vegas. It's also on par based on where the speakeasy is located (hint hint). The cheapest cocktail was $30 so prepare yourself for the sticker shock. Some drinks were $80-$100! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I went with the Velvet Moon which was an interesting cocktail consisting of both gin and mezcal. It had flavors of hibiscus and it also had egg white which I absolutely love! The presentation was beautiful and I really enjoyed it! My friend went with the Basilico Bliss which he enjoyed. I didn't try any, but it looked really good. As we were enjoying our drinks, the staff presented us with savory bar snacks. They were tasty and were a perfect compliment to our cocktails. They do have food on the menu, but we had already eaten so we stuck with our complimentary snacks. As we were closing out, the staff presented us with a complimentary mini dessert. Rory described it as a Carajillo Jello shot. I don't like jello (I hate the texture), but I do love Carajillos. My friend does not drink coffee and does not like coffee flavor, so I ate both of them. They were so delicious (but the texture was off putting lol). I typically don't mention the restrooms in my reviews, but this one is worth mentioning. All I have to say is heated seats with a bidet! We really enjoyed our visit. Had the drinks not been so pricey, we probably would have stayed longer. If you enjoy speakeasies and/or craft cocktails, go have a drink at The Vault! The experience alone is worth it!
