First time trying this place, but will be back!

Food...Ricotta appetizer was a party in our mouth! Beautiful too! The braised short rib was very tender and tasted wonderful on the bed of polenta (very flavorful). Also had the mushroom risotto & vodka rigatoni. However, they were my least favorite, but sill good. NY Strip Steak was also a hit at the table!

Easy to make a reservation, which was not necessary. Service was very good and server attentive. Look forward to returning!

If you order catering from here and get the NY strip, make sure you order more than 1!!! had I known … i would have ordered more!! Having the serving size like the pizza would have been helpful!
It says serves 8 .. …
1 steak cut into 8 tiny slices …. serves 1 WTF this does NOT feed 8!!! omg….now my dinner starts in 20 min and i need to find another option like defrosting steak from the freezer and grilling them myself!!!

now that it’s been a day and more calm

Other than being angry about the Steak option for catering … my full review

Brussels sprouts were really good
mushrooms were good
short ribs were good

Spaghetti- sauce was gross with just the pasta, but the meatballs were on point! I’ve ordered the bolognese from uber eats…
it’s good, but not on the catering menu. ?

fingerling potatoes … not bad. sauce was too much and not so good … sauce was not incorporated into the potatoes and all on the bottom

Steaks were rationed and I don’t know how they tasted.

I would recommend eating here yes…
i’ve ordered tons of uber eats from them and it’s always been good
Catering … no. Never again!!

Incoming new favorite restaurant, man I don’t know where to start this place was amazing. For drinks we had the keepin it cool, and the lavender fields, both really good. For the appetizer we had the whipped ricotta, with the fresh honey at the table ☄️♥️. For dinner she had the strip steak, it had a garlic sauce on it and steak sauce, both delicious. And for me I got the 3 course meal, with the braised short rib and the tiramisu. The short rib you could eat with your fingers and the tiramisu reminded me of ny. So all and all new fave restaurant, restaurant will def be back Jess did an awesome job as server. 🙂

Being my first restaurant to visit since my move to Las Vegas, I was pleasantly surprised to find this fine dining restraunt by convenience when passing through the area.
Billy provided a first class service experience, from a great personal conversation to always being attentive to my half-full water glass. This is rare, and always speaks volumes to the care of service provided by a restraunt such as this.
I had the Clamari, Salmon, and Mushroom Risotto, all of which were fantastic. I thought the calamari was a little too "breaded", but that being a personal preference I cannot fault the taste that was delivered.
Great food and even better service, cheers to this team!

This was our first time and honestly, it one of the best dining experiences I have had.

Billy was our server for our table of 7 and couldn’t have fit our personalities more! He had great banter and was so well versed when it came to the menu and answering any questions we had! Jessica the manager also came to just check in and we asked for some of her recommendations and every option blew us away. She told us a bit about how fresh the ingredients were and some cool facts about the restaurant itself. She literally made us feel so cared for.

I completely recommended doing what we did when it came to ordering. There was far too much we wanted to try, so instead of everyone just focusing on their own dish, we all got something different and shared it amongst us. I’m a very picky vegetarian and I was shocked with how vegetarian friendly everything was yet packed with diverse flavors. Portion sizes were not so big you lose quality but not so small you lose quantity. Just enough to need a small box at the end.

I’m a sucker for lighting and over all ambiance and was shocked with how calming the environment was. Sometimes with a higher scale restaurant, I feel like I shouldn’t be there or it has a sense of sterility to it. This restaurant provides almost a familiar comfort.

The only thing I wish this restaurant had was a location closer to Henderson but it was well worth the drive and we will be back!

Came here with friends for restaurant week. The three of us ordered the prefix menu so we were able to order a large variety of items!
For apps, we got the Caesar, calamari, and whipped ricotta. Ricotta had a chili mix on top with honey on top. It was tasty and easy to smear. I will say the rustic bread was off putting - it was incredibly difficult to bite into. Skip that and just enjoy the ricotta with the house bread.

For entrees, we got the short rib, lasagna, and Alfredo. All were great - short rib was tender, Alfredo was creamy and flavorful, and lasagna bolognese was delicious. For sides, we got the risotto, Brussel sprouts, and roasted carrots. I was surprised how bland the risotto was. It was dry and lacked flavor. The Brussel sprouts were dry and acidic - tasted sour. The roasted carrots were our favorite for the sides.

For dessert, we got the tiramisu, choc cake, and cheesecake. They were all tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed the tiramisu. The choc cake was moist and you could taste all three layers. I'm not a fan of chocolate but the chef did it right with that cake. The cheesecake was creamy. I think our only minor complaint was the sauce on top of the cheesecake, but honestly, it was fine.

Service was top notch - we didn't feel rushed and she didn't impose on us.

I got the lavender cocktail - It was okay. It tasted like lemonade and didn't have any hint of lavender. It still tasted good but I expected hints of lavender.

All in all, you should give this place a shot. I will be coming back.

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant during our visit to Las Vegas from Southern California. The service was nothing short of exceptional, with Jenn, the manager, and Billy, our server, delivering gracious and attentive care throughout the evening.

The culinary experience was equally impressive. Our group of seven explored a variety of dishes, each more delightful than the last. The short ribs were particularly noteworthy, tender and flavorful, while the summer watermelon salad was a refreshing revelation, bursting with vibrant flavors. The side dishes, especially the Brussels sprouts, were perfectly prepared and complemented the mains beautifully. To finish, the tiramisu was a perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal.

I visited this restaurant with my family on a Friday evening for dinner at 5pm. We sat inside and the atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed all of our food. The waiter was very patient and answered questions. The restaurant has limited Vegan options but they do offer to work with you. Our experience was very good and we recommend this restaurant.
