This place was great! We made a reservation, but I don't think it's really needed. The 6 of us were sat quickly which was great for a Saturday night and at the tail end of their happy hour. The space is pretty big and it looks like they may have an upstairs. Our server was great! She was quick and on top of things while also helping the group at the bar. I ordered the yellow birdy colada to drink which was yummy and strong! For food I got the taverna burger which came with fries. I got through about half of it, it was really good. Cooked well, good toppings, and the bun was toasted perfectly. Friends loved their food and drinks, and we had a great time! It was a great stop before out night out and the happy hour goes through the weekend. Give this place a try! read more

Great spot to stop by for drinks down in the Arts district. Discovered this spot a couple years after COVID during First Friday and hubby and I just loved it. I definitely recommend hanging out in their outdoor space, especially on gorgeous weather days. read more

This place is such a vibe, great music, fantastic bartender, amazing food and cold beer, Get the wings appetizer and the loco moco and you won't be disappointed read more

This place is my new obsession! The restaurant is open and very clean. The food is absolutely delicious, service was excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and on the ball. Donna was our waitress and she made the eating experience better. A man came around 2 times to ask how we liked our dinners and if we wanted anything. Come to find out he was the chef who created the menu, Chris. What a nice guy. If you like good food and Hawaiian fusion this is the place to try. read more

Yelp! review #10 of 2026 I dropped in around 8pm on the 26th of FEB, for a comedy show advertised on Eventbrite, with no mention of a cover charge. When I showed up, there was a $20 fee, and they expected a tip. When I inquired, they said Eventbrite was only for headcount. It felt like a bit of false advertising, which left me disappointed. The cool thing about it, though, was that at least they gave me a drink ticket, which made up for the unexpected cover charge. After I was seated, I was given a food menu, which was unexpected but definitely welcome. I ordered the ribeye steak truffle fries, and for the price, it was exceptionally good. Overall, the service was great, the food was excellent, and the comedy show was even better. I might be back, but that cover charge threw me off. The one thing I didn't like was that, at the end of the comedy show, as I was leaving, neither the security guard nor anyone else at the door opened it for me. I'm disabled and use a walker to ambulate, so that didn't sit well with me. read more

I really wanted to find a dog friendly restaurant with a cute patio, so today we're reviewing to Terna Costera in the Arts District. As a reminder, I don't get paid or comped for my reviews, so let's get into it. We came around 11:30 AM on a Sunday, and we had the patio all to ourselves. We started with the cucumber Mojito, which was nice and refreshing. We shared the shrimp ceviche appetizer, which was OK, but it was missing a little something - maybe some jalapeños would've helped. We were super excited to try the barbecue ribs and cornbread. Even though the ribs were really good, they came out cold, which was a bummer. The cornbread was super bland, but at least our pup really liked it. Our pup also seemed to like his eggs, and I do like that you can buy one à la cart. All in all, taverna does have a lot of potential, so we're giving this one 3.5 out of five stars. read more

The food and libation options feature a lot of different choices, including vegan selections. There's a rooftop area with an amazing outdoor view of the arts district. I usually find myself at Taverna for an event, as they are often the host of many types of artistic activities. The decor features artists along the hallways. Highly recommended if you want a place with multiple seating choices; indoor, outdoor, upstairs, downstairs. read more

This is a hidden gem. The address says Main Street, though it is actually on 1st. Parking is good if you have an Apple phone. There is some street parking. The venue has an industrial vibe with cute lighting that changes colors. At the time we went it was "seat yourself:, so we did. The Chef brought us menus, and was very personable. Two of us ordered the grilled mahi-mahi over macadamia rice with Brussel sprouts, Mom had the mahi-mahi fish & chips, and my friend had the Kailua pork bowl with rice and a macaroni salad. Each dish was beautifully plated with generous portions, as well as being extremely yummy. My friends said they'll be going back. read more

Helpful Tip: CHECK YOUR BILL My family and I waited over 20 minutes after being seated (two additional tables and one person at the bar) for service. The chef Chris casually stopped by to inquire about our service. He apologized and took our beverage and food order. To his credit he helped move things along and the food came out quickly. That part was appreciated. Short staffed was clear and I get it but empathy only goes so far when the issues stack up the way they did here. The food was mixed to be fair. The panko calamari was overdone charred burn like taste otherwise flavorless and a hard pass. The margarita pizza was forgettable think cafeteria pizza nothing more. The ahi tuna was actually a solid choice def not the best I've ever had but the layered flavors and the wontons was a hit. The brussels were genuinely good and probably the highlight of everything ordered. Billing was a disaster and sent me over the edge. I was charged incorrectly for happy hour items on multiple items . Instead of 50% off most items rang up at 25% off or full price with only one item correctly discounted. I brought it up three separate times including directly with the chef who literally pointed to the items on the menu confirming they were happy hour eligible. Two servers couldn't resolve it after multiple attempts and a significant amount of time I eventually gave up and walked out. (Partially my fault for not reviewing the bill before paying but the drawn out wait time to even get the bill had m ready to go). There are only so many apologies an establishment can offer before it becomes clear there is an operations problem not just a bad night. No structure poor knowledge of menu inconsistent service and unable to make a straightforward billing issue right. This is Vegas. There are too many quality options competing for your time and money to settle for this. One time is way more than enough. read more

I always have a great experience when I go to the taverna costera with my husband, they have the best cucumber mojitos and bites, but today I took my parents and my kids and I had the best experience ever!! Camila was our server and her beautiful smile made us feel so welcome, so nice and pleasant. My mom had a terrible toothache and she wanted a soup but unfortunately the menu didn't have any but Camila asked Chef Chris Mahon if he could make one and he personally came to our table and told my mom that he would make a special soup for her, a few minutes later, he brought the most delicious cream of lobster/shrimp!!! And then, I ordered a ceviche but since they didn't have any anymore, Chef Uriel made a shrimp ceviche out of this world!! Everything so amazingly cooked with the best presentation and taste!! The ambiance is so relaxing, everybody so professional and nice!! I really recommend this place! 1000 % They also have live music on the weekends!! read more

Taverna Costera is one of my all-time favorite restaurants in the Arts District. Their menu, curated beautifully by Chef Chris and owner Jeff Hwang, combines the absolute best of flavors inspired by Hawaiian Fusion AND Coastal Mediterranean fusion. This unique fusion is a work of art. Truly. The other great aspect of this place is its staff. I still don't know everyone's names, but there are many standouts: Jessica, Alex(es), Jennifer, Max, Amanda, and more. They all make guests feel especially welcomed. Food prices are also very affordable, especially considering the quality and quantity. My favorites are their newest small Dragon Bowls, but every selection is worth trying. A BIG THUMBS UP!!! read more

Ordered the Tempura Mahi Mahi Fish & Chips. Fish was freshly fried and had that crunch I like in fried fish. Comes with fries and a tartar (?) sauce. I especially liked the fish with the tartar sauce. Would definitely order this again. read more

What a charming place. Located on Main street in the arts district, the atmosphere is cozy but modern with saleavle art decor. This quaint restaurant across from the burlesque theater should be packed 24/7. Combination dining, rooftop bar, and coffee shop the menu has something for everyone with a hawaiin flair. I had the breakfast sambo which comes on a thick Jape ese Milk Bread with just the right amount of crispness on the outside and soft goodness on the inside. It comes with breakfast potatoes in the form of whole purple potatoes cooked and seasoned well. The jam, eggs, sausage, and maple syrup blended perfectly. I am a big hungry guy but I could not finish this monster. Our table also enjoyed the blackened burger and the turkey sandwich both of which were large portions. Next time we will try the honey toast desert but I was too full. The website menu is not up to date, they have ao much more. Essentially the items on the website is just the happy hour menu. They also have donbyri, loco moco, fried rice, and other hawaiian flavors. With several interesting drinks and bottled beers on the menu, some tv's, and live entertainment at night, we will definitely be back. Alexis was an excellent waiter, attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Taverna Costera at 1031 Main St is a fantastic spot with truly amazing customer service. From the moment you walk in, the staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cares about your experience. What really makes this place stand out is the incredible fusion of Hawaiian and Asian flavors--everything is so well balanced and delicious. The fries and steak are my personal favorites, cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Great food, great service, and an inviting atmosphere make this a place I'll definitely keep coming back to. read more

2 businesses on the same floor, dependent on each other for service, yet non communicative, makes for a backwards experience where staff want you to run around. But it's the dirty, open bathroom right next to kitchen that you see first when entering. Brainless design and operation. read more

We came here during First Friday and The decor is cool but the food is just really bad. It's supposed to be a Hawaiian menu which is really not "Costera"that is Spanish and we thought it would be a Mexican menu. The food was half frozen, even if it would have been unfrozen correctly, flavor was just terrible, well actually no flavor was present . I try not eat McDonald but I think I would have been better off doing that. There is no flavor and adding more salt won't add anything of substance. Ownership should try their own food, you need a major overhaul of menu or you won't make it. But hey! if people are high on dope when they go there maybe they won't be able to tell how bad it's. Maybe that is my problem I don't do drugs. read more

The environment itself was fun, and in a great location. The rooftop bar is awesome. 1. There was one waitress who seemed to have a bad day, she was very moody and not friendly at all. 2.

We went for lunch and it was not packed but it was a bit of a wait for service. We ordered the Mac and cheese bowls. The table enjoyed the chicken on the Mac and cheese bowls.

3 of us went there, myself (62 yo male), my wife (56 yo) and my sister (65 yo). We had lunch on a 114-degree Friday afternoon in July. First, the air conditioning was working well, so it was comfortable. We were seated right away and our server was at the table just a moment later. We had attentive service throughout our meal. Despite the Spanish name, we were surprised to learn that it was kind of Hawaiian fusion. I had the luau pulled pork and rice - very tasty with generous portions (I couldn't finish mine). I can't recall what my wife and sister had, but they also were very happy with their food. The restaurant is clean and very creatively decorated. Restrooms were also clean and new. Prices were very reasonable, especially when compared to restaurants on the Strip. I would definitely return, especially on a not-so-hot day when I can explore all of the really cool shops and galleries surrounding this restaurant. BTW, the new Evel Knievel exhibit is right across the street, which is what brought us to this restaurant for lunch before that exhibit. I am glad we stopped by! read more

We enjoyed coming here! We didn't get to check out the rooftop so we will back. We thought the prices were very reasonable and food was quite delicious. The music was fun but a bit loud. read more

Dined at a few of the better stand alone restaurants as well as in the best casinos this weekend and then stopped by Taverna Costera after checking out the Arts District on a late Sunday eve. Wow - by far, the best meals this weekend! Corbin, our server, was so pleasant and helpful. Definitely skipping the Strip next time and checking out the rest of the menu! Oh - and a live local Indie band playing on the patio to cap off a great weekend - over the top! read more

Fun vibes, prompt, friendly service, and excellent food. My chicken orzo dish was full of flavor. The chicken was tender, the sun-dried tomatoes were plump, and the spinach had just enough of a wilt to it. The taverna burger was juicy, seasoned to perfection, topped with goey cheese and some thiCCCer than a snicker crispy bacon. The rough chopped lettuce was fresh, and the side of fries were hot and crisp. My lavender drink was refreshing and lightly sweetened. An observation: I can tell a lot about a place by the energy level of the staff. Our waitress clearly loved her job and the restaurant. When we told her it was our first time, she was eager to give us a little tour of the venue and invited us back for brunch, music on the rooftop, and mentioned that the place is popping during First Friday. Easy five stars! An Arts District gem! read more

Came on a Wednesday around lunch time. We sat in the patio area and it was pretty doable with the Vegas heat since the fan was running! We sat under the roof to give us some shade since we had our baby with us. This place is located in the Arts District. I was so glad I found it while looking for unique places to dine near by. I love how they have vegan options as well! The service was exceptional and a fresh breath of air seeing that it's hard to find good service nowadays. We had Alexis. He was amazing and so attentive. We got the Mexican Street Corn Riblets as starters. What a visually stunning way to serve it. It was so good too. Not too spicy and had the right about of seasoning. We asked for nachos on the side to dip with the guacamole. For drinks, we got the Yellow Birdy Colada and the Coconut Whisky Sour. Both super delicious. Love how the colada was on the rocks and not blended. For entrees, my husband got the Vegan Spring Pasta with shrimp. I got the Furikake Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. The Vegan Spring Pasta was good but could be better. I thought the shrimp would come inside the pasta cooked. My husband said the pasta didn't taste fresh but it was good. My salad was delicious. Highly recommend it! Bathrooms are limited. Only one stall per women/men's bathroom. Parking limited near the place. You have to park in the back on the other side of the building for more parking. I think you may need to pay. We got lucky and got a parking spot in the front. I bet this place is gorgeous at night. There were a whole bunch of bistro lights hanging in the patio. Lastly, there is a coffee shop inside. I think it's called Dragon's Alley Coffee. Looks like they were just opening when we went. It looked like they had vegan options such as vegan katsu curry and vegan spam musubi. I would definitely come back! As a local, I felt like I was in a different city. The food was great. The service exceptional, the atmosphere, worth it. read more

Taberna Costera was ok, let's start getting into my experience. For appetizers I went with the pork belly and the fried calamari steak. The calamari was good and the sauces they put on they were also tasty. The pork belly had a different taste that wasn't my favorite. It was the seasonings they added and the sauce it came with did not pair well. For dinner entrees I went with the Ahi poke bowl and the Italian topped steak. The poke bowl was ok it needed more flavor. The ratio to rice and fish don't equal out, to much rice in the bowl. The steak was cooked well and the shrimp that came with them were really good. The side of rice was not good. Overall my experience was ok. Wouldn't see myself coming back read more
