Restaurants near Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel

The view was amazing. We happened to catch the sunset and night lights come on and it was beautiful. Obviously very expensive, but I was pleasantly suprised by the food. I was expecting it to be mediocre, but it was delicious. We got the Lobster Mac n Cheese, Mashed Potatos, Salmon Dinner, Crab and Scallop stuffed Sole. Salmon was a solid 8.5/10. Mashed Potatos were great. Lobster Mac N Cheese wasn’t my favorite but I’m not a huge lobster person. Boyfriend rates his Crab and Scallop Sole 8/10. Ceaser salad was awful, but we should have expected that. Service was quick and thoughtful. Good recommendations. A little pushy to spend more money, but it was for my graduation so we ended up spending a ton anyway. BF had the Money Bank ($38 bourbon old fashioned) He liked it. I didn’t get the hype. I had the Midnight Dream and loved it. 10/10. Overall an amazing experience and neither of us regretted it or the money we spent on it! Note: They walk around and ask to take pictures of you - we did it and bought them because they were a cute momento but they are $50 for one book. Lol

I booked this restaurant almost six months in advance and it was well worth the wait! All of the waiters and host/hostesses were absolutely wonderful! I love how they greet every guest and are frequently checking on guests. We also got seated at a legends booth (Sammy Davis Jr.) I also loved how there is a dress code so it took you back to how Las Vegas was in what I would call the good days! I wish more places were like this, but on the other hand that’s what made this place even more special. Depending on how busy the place is you may even get some great stories of how this place was when legends such as Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin dined there. I cannot wait to come back to this place!

I had the Rib Cab talk about melt in your mouth! Husband and son had the prime rib. Excellent all the way around.

I have loved Esther’s since it first opened, but I haven’t been able to get back since before the pandemic. So when I visited Esther’s for the first time in too long in their new expanded space, I was worried the memory would not match the reality. Let me tell you: it was better than I remembered. Pure joy. Every step of the way—everything was Exceptional. The rigatoni was even better than I remembered, the tagliatelle made me cry, and the lobster agnolotti made my heart skip a beat—literally breathtaking. (By the way, the asparagus and the Vitello Tonnato were next level as starters). The only sour note was realizing how much I had been missing the last four years by not going to Esther’s regularly. But that’s my fault. And that’s something I plan to change. I want more joy in my life, and now, in their beautiful new space, I plan to find that joy by going to Esther’s whenever I can.

The ambience was lively & had great service. We sat at the bar and our bartender was super efficient and friendly. The food itself was just ok. The elote dip was great but the fish tacos bland and the pizza just ok. Overall the price value was good and we’ll come back for the drinks and ambiance.
