Margarita
Robert S.

We visited on Friday, for lunch, with a party of two and it was a very nice experience. The place looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but once you walk in it is large, clean and welcoming. We seated ourselves and the bartender/server came by to take our order. Their margaritas are strong and refreshing. We started with Candy Bacon and Buffalo Chicken Wontons. The bacon was served cold, not even room temp, which was odd. Both apps were quite tasty though. We then went with Meatball and Turkey Sandwiches. The portions were HUGE, and they were prepared perfectly. The service was very good, the bartender kept track of us well. Overall, a great place for a bite and a drink.

Pulled pork sandwich

So wifey and I wanted to try something new rather than a 5 normal places and we were looking around on Yelp and came across this bar! Walking in the vibes are it, very beach forward themed smaller restaurant area and decency size bar with keno machines. The bartender is friendly and super welcoming. Everything is decorated so cute as well. We sat at 2 machines, got cards, and your first 20 points you get $20 freeplay so that's a bonus. The machines we are on are keeping us on our toes. The menu is a decent size we ordered the pulled pork sandwich & the French Toast & both were BOMB. The flavor on the pork was amazing and the sweet roll French toast was just sweet enough. Would highly recommend and we will be returning. 06/03 10:00 PM

Dive bar vibes yet super clean and spacious. Bartender was super friendly and patrons were fun and conversational. Tons of TVs showing all the live sports games, 4 electronic dart bards, a pool table, and about a dozen beers on tap. Chill reggae music playing making it a great spot to do some work or hang out for a couple drinks. Happy hour has good drink and food specials.

Solid. Was gonna go to a familiar but delicious spot for my birthday but woman showed some videos and the menu sounded yummy here so we came. Wasn't super busy, we were greeted when we walked in. Jessica was fabulous! Knowledgeable, attentive, kind and funny. She was able to answer every question we had about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. We did the 3 for $20 app platter w surfboards, potstickers and Rangoon. Delicious! Everything tasted fresh and the house made marinara and ranch were amazing. Lots of things on the menu were appealing but I ultimately did the garlic noodz w shrimp and woman did the piccata. Jessica knew the piccata was lemony and that the noodz paired better with the shrimp than meatballs and she wasn't wrong. They could've put a couple more shrimp on but given what they charge it's probably on par. My food was good but it got better overnight. The garlic set in and the bread was amazing!!! They had a lot of things on the menu I'd come back to try. I'd also come back for Jessica's amazing service. She really made the visit. The place itself is spacious and we had our pick of tables. Naturally I did the VIP one in the corner. It was made for royalty lol. Lots of screens and one had cute animals and bloopers. They had another announcing upcoming events at tavern and what the different days specials are. Great food and experience. Jessica said they got busier after the video came out so they schedule staff to accommodate. The waits were reasonable and we had a great experience.

Served me the smallest wings. Two fit in a sauce cup
Kay D.

Went there for sports. I'm not calling it game night because they do have trivia. Ordered the $15 dollar wings. These were the smallest wings I have seen in my life. The cook actually thought it was appropriate to serve these to us. Tasted good but look at the picture. Place was empty but only had one server.

Keno

Nice little hole-in-the-wall gaming bar with a great vibe! Everyone was friendly when we walked in, and the atmosphere felt really welcoming. We only gambled this time but definitely want to come back and try the food. I can't remember our bartender's name, but she was the younger woman with light brown hair working this past Monday night--super friendly and an excellent bartender!

Linda S.

This my spot! It's clean, friendly, and completely smoke free. They offer a great selection of food and drinks, and the burgers are bomb! Trivia every Wed is a lot of fun too

Spaghetti and meatballs special
Robert B.

We went on a Thursday night to catch the spaghetti dinner specials. Pulled up thought the spot was a bit sketch but cool. Rolled in and found the interior to be pretty cool. Our server Jaimie, with two i,s in her name was awesome. She pretty much was the entire staff. Now the spaghetti. Normal boiled noodles and canned sauce. The meatballs were two formed and fried balls of hamburger. Not much for spice. More reliant on the sauce. No garlic bread in sight. The martini was good. The shot of cinnamon whiskey was generous and the 805 on tap was nice and cold. The price was also very nice on everything.

Grilled cheese with tater tots
Hannah R.

I love coming to the tavern, the food is always good, the staff is super friendly and I always have a great time participating in trivia on Wednesdays.

All of the food for the $50 Buffet AYCE, right in front of their restroom :)
Emily A.

We had really disappointing experiences. Just look at the photos and ask yourself if this is worth a $50 buffet: boiled chicken, salad, fries, sausage, beans... Everything was bland and cold. It was shockingly bad, even Golden Corral does a far better job. Yes, the price includes unlimited beer, but realistically, how many beers can you drink to justify a $50 ticket when the food is this poor? And FYI, it's unlimited cheap beer, soft drinks like Coke or tea aren't even included. I expected them to maintain at least a decent standard, but this was truly unacceptable. It feels like they cut corners in the worst way and ended up driving customers away. They don't host buffets often, so this should have been a chance for people to sample their dishes and want to return. Instead, it did the opposite. You genuinely feel like they just wanted to rip you off and didn't care about your experience at all.

Sometimes the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" really does hold true. Just take a look…read moreat this steak and lobster! 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. Already looking forward to my next visit!

I'm on the fence to give this restaurant a 4 star. Think it's more of a 3.5…read more My 2nd time here. This time I made the reservation and wanted to see what the hype is all about. Previously, a coworker made the reservation and I just joined the dinner. I ordered and didn't focus on prices etc. ~2 months to get a reservation at somewhat decent dinner time, 5:30pm. Previously, if we wanted to dine, it was hard the get a reservation a few days before we want to dine at a dinner time. What were available were at 10pm and after mostly. We arrived at about 5:20pm, walked into a very dark entrance and the main light is from the outside when we opened the door. We checked in and as the door behind us closed, it was so dark inside with very dimmed lighting. We followed a waiter to our table to the room on the left side. The dining room is even darker. Is it me or it was very hard to see and have my eyes focus. Not sure why the rooms had to be so dark. Hard to even see the menu so we had to use our phone's light. When we walked in, there were plenty of tables available. By 6:15pm, most of the tables were full in this dining room. There's another room to the right and the bar area that I did not visit this time. Waiter was great. Wait staff was great. Warm bread and butter, complimentary and soo good. Beef carpaccio was excellent. Appreciate the wait staff asked if we wanted fresh ground pepper on it as it was perfect on top of it. Flavors and seasonings were just perfect. It's a steakhouse but I did not enjoy my ribeye fully. It was not medium rare, its was more medium and a bit chewy and seems dry. We had the Oscar to accompany it and the crab was ok and not fully fresh chunks of grab. My husband's ribeye was the same. That's a shame and why I'm on the fence of the stars given. We had the lobster pasta and it needed some salt or fresh grated cheese or something. I wished the waiter would have offered it. Although good, it was not great as we wished it could have been. Dessert was a rebound. They can do dessert here. 50% off is on limited items and not the full menu. Make sure you know that first. Good dinner. Indecisive if I would return.

After rocking my millennial heart out at the Sphere with the Backstreet Boys, I ended my Vegas trip…read morewith the scrumptious tasting menu here. TL;DR: Food is on par with some of the best mid-range New American restaurants in Manhattan, but at a more affordable price with far less pretentiousness. - Oxtail Hummus: Flavorful crispy chickpeas meets succulent pulled oxtail and warm housemade naan for one of the best starters I've had in recent history. - Oyster Duo: How can you go wrong with fresh oysters accompanied by roasted pineapple, shiso oil, and Thai chili, or red yuzu kosho butter, kaffir lime and rock miso? You can't. You can only go very, very right. - Snapper Tostada: Fresh fish christening a bed of fried Oaxacan blue corn with fermented strawberry--yes strawberry--salsa macha and toasted sesame. The strawberry shouldn't work, but it did--like a throuple that just makes sense. - Bánh Cuốn: You will likely lick the bowl with this dish, so if it isn't served with a spoon, do your future self a favor and ask for one right away. You won't want that delicious broth flavored with ground duck, wood ear, habanero, and coconut to get cold. - Spanish Octopus: Served on squid ink risotto, with some garlic chili crunch and Thai basil to infuse some Asian heat into a very traditional pulpo preparation. Tasty, though not as memorable as other dishes. - Sinigang Steamed Clams: That thing I said about licking the bowl? Here's round 2. With Iberico pork, tamarind tomato and roasted bone marrow rice, you won't stand a chance. - Wood Fired Lumina Lamb: Even though I'd seen the full tasting menu beforehand, I kind of couldn't believe we weren't done by this point. Somehow I persevered and managed to finish my share of this dish of sweet potato, charred fava bean, fruit, and peanuts cooked with tasty lamb. I don't know how. - Rabbit "Dan Dan" Paccheri: The final savory course, a lovely pasta filled with the aforementioned rabbit, charred cucumber, chanterelle mushroom, and black sesame pangrattato. When was the last time you had pasta this creative? - Passionfruit Mousse: While I was surprised dessert was so simple, it was definitely satisfying, with white rice ice-cream, mango, coconut, and white chocolate. Honestly, after the last few courses, it was kind of a relief not to end on a heavy note. We also got some delicious homemade white chocolate bark to take back, which didn't last past the parking lot. At under $150pp, I've definitely paid more for far worse meals with smaller portions. Sparrow + Wolf wouldn't be out of place in the trendiest neighborhood in NYC, but I'm glad it's in the Chinatown-esque area of Las Vegas, away from the Strip madness and surrounded by unique flavors that have clearly influenced the team's creativity.

In Las Vegas, the best gems are hiding where you least expect…read more.. Back to my hometown for work, and a good friend said he knew exactly where we were going for dinner: his favorite place in the whole city. A recent recipient of its 1st Michelin Star, Sparrow+Wolf was truly a wonderful meal all around. Emily's service was on point, for sure, and it was a match for the meal. The small bite of Nissan sausage to get us started was a treat, nothing that messed with your palette but definitely got the juices flowing wanting more, so oxtail hummus was on the menu. So well prepared! We went in for shared mains with the rabbit pasta, something they call the Dan Dan paired with the octopus. Both treats, though I'd say the ink risotto underlay for the latter might have been the slightest bit gooey. We persevered, no matter! Panna cotta did the trick ... I believe I was far more than my-fair-share into that dish than my dinner mate, but that was his problem.
