The Most Delicious Tapas/Small Plates in Las Vegas

TRES Cazuelas Artisanal Latin Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (472) • $$

"I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! This is a local favorite! Head chef, Angelo did a fantastic job and the staff was wonderful. He came out to greet guests and made sure everyone had everything that they needed. We came with a big group and they took care of everyone as if they were the only person there. Even the salad was delicious- great combination of flavor and the dressing topped it offI had the scallops as a main dish and that was also tasty. The appetizers were also delicious. My favorite was the shrimp! It was fresh and the sauce was so good! It's very close to the strip and a quick Uber ride makes it easy and convenient to get to."

Casa Don Quixote

★★★★★ 4.7 (206)

"Incredible food, great service. Makes you feel like you're in Spain. From the sparkling water imported from Galicia, Spain to the homemade Sangria. It truly was an amazing experience to say the least! Will definitely be coming back here! The owner and chef Eligio is so personable and really gave us a great taste of Spain! If there's one place in Boulder City you can check out, make it this place!"

"Yumm! My taste buds were doing a happy dance after trying this restaurant. They serve unique dishes with filipino/spanish style foods. My favorite dish was the lengua! Please be adventurous and go try it! The service was great as they kept checking on our table. I can't wait to go back and try more."

The Nori

★★★★★ 4.5 (482) • $$

"We visited on Saturday for lunch with a party of 3 adults and 2 small children and it was a very good experience. We arrived and were seated immediately in their spacious dining area. We were the only customers at 11:20 AM. The waitress provided waters and took our order.We went with Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Tuna Tartare, Salmon Poke, Kurobata Sausage, Salmon Carpaccio, Spicy Edamame, Nori Lover Sets, Dynamite Handroll, Salmon Kama, Chicken Teriyaki Donburri, Miso Soup, and a Blue Crab California Roll. All the items were very fresh, well prepared, and tasty. It is a bit strange, they leave the plastic wrap on the seaweed in their hand rolls. You need to remove it before eating.The service was excellent, the waitress was prompt and effective. I only wish that they had a liquor license, a sake would have been nice. Overall, and excellent place for Japanese fare."

"I went here for my birthday back in July and let me tell you the food was DELISH. I went again last night and ordered half the menu and again I was not disappointed!! If you're ever in Vegas in Chinatown and need an option off the strip, please make sure to check this place out!!The service is always to die for. They greet you and seat you so kindly. Food comes out fast, it's not, so many flavors. I can go on and on and eat here everyday!!! I can't rave about this place enough. They know how to take care of their customers."

Bramàre - Inspired Italian

★★★★★ 4.6 (75)

"Met up with friends for dinner. One of my friends was raving about this place so I decided to try it out with her. Atmosphere: Loved the vibe, dark and romantic perfect for a date. We sat at the booths along the wall which seemed like a good idea at first but my friends who are under 5"10 felt uncomfortable bc the booth was high and their feet were dangling. There was a bar to put your feet but it forced them in a weird unnatural position. So unfortunately they were uncomfortable the whole night. If you're tall you should be good. Service: we had Marc who was excellent. Had a very welcoming demeanor. There were moments when he stepped away a little too long but after further inspection it looked like he was covering the majority or the restaurant which I could imagine is challenging . So we let him do his thing and he finally got back to us.Food: hmmm. I think the appetizers were my fav. First up we had the beef carpaccio. Thin slices of raw beef sprinkled with large grain mustard and a very thin wafer sprinkled with chives. If you like carpaccio I'd suggest this. Then the Funghi Fritti satisfying deep fried anoki mushrooms with a slightly spicy Mayo based sauce. Recommend. Then we had the wagyu meatballs. If you like meat balls I think you'd enjoy this. The meatballs were soft and tender in a tomato based sauce served with toast and ricotta cheese. Really good when you put everything together on the toast. Recommend. Lastly for appetizers we had "the toast" 2 strips of buttery toast filled with caramelized onion and heavily sprinkled with a pecorino or Parmesan cheese. If you get the meatballs with this it's a lot of bread. It was ok. If I had to pick a bread heavy appetizer I'd get the meatballs. Entrees: we shared everything so we tried to get a mixture of items with different proteins to balance the experience. Before anything I unfortunately have to say that I felt all the entrees were good but under seasoned. We had to request salt and pepper to bring out the flavors. First, the Porchetta. It was good. Not as soft and tender as I'd like and I wish the skin (which to me is the only reason to get a porchetta) wasn't as light and crispy as I was hoping for. Don't let it sit either it becomes gummy and hard to chew. The polenta, salsa verde & root vegetables definitely helped bring everything together but then again it was still a bit bland didn't have punch that I wanted. The Brasato. The braised beef cheek was cooked perfectly. So soft and succulent. The fergula pasta added nice texture but tasted like nothing. Again more sauce or seasoning. If you hate parsley DO NOT get this the parsley flavor was over powering and honestly took over the dish. I understand it came with a parsley salad on the side but if you ate it that's all you're tasting, very off putting. Wild boar ragu. Good. Noodles were cooked al dente. The mouth feel was nice but again under seasoned. The shrimp Caesar's salad was surprisingly yummy. The shrimp were executed perfectly. Huge plump perfectly seasoned shrimp balanced well with the crisp refreshing salad. I wanted a whole plate of those shrimp. Recommend. The swordfish Milanese was a show stopper they put the caviar sauce over the fish table side. I love seafood and I love caviar sauce. (If you've ever been to elephante in Santa Monica the caviar sauce on their scallops is heavenly I could drink the stuff! lol) but alas it was kind of a disappointment. Again under seasoned. The fish was dry the potatoes were flavorless and the caviar sauce literally just tasted like cream they heated up and put caviar in it. Definitely not like the Elephante sauce. Overall entrees were a C+/B-Dessert: surprisingly good after the mediocre entrees. Highly recommend the blueberry focaccia Bites with vanilla gelato. Marc mentioned that it reminded him of a high end funnel cake, he was right the blueberry compote and the yummy contrast with the cold gelato was a welcomed ending. We also had the salted caramel gelato which was predictable but good. Final comment. Check it out, great atmosphere the cocktails and appetizers were try the food for yourself and let me know what you thought"

Echo & Rig

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$$

"I brought my husband here for his birthday and the food/service were outstanding as usual. The restaurant is beautiful and located in Tivoli Village across the street from Suncoast casino.I had the ribeye (medium rare). My husband wanted to try something new so he had the Zabuton steak aka Denver (med. rare) which he liked as well. While both steaks were great, we both preferred the Ribeye probably because we prefer meat higher in fat.They brought my husband a trio of sorbets for his birthday. They were very yummy and not overly sweet. The lemon sorbet was our favorite.My husband was eyeballing the hot coffee cake dessert on the menu so we ordered that as well. Wow, just wow! It was absolutely delicious! We agreed we have to return soon especially for that dessert.See you soon Echo and Rig!"

Le Club by Partage

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This light-bite sibling of Partage opened less than a week ago from the date of this review, so of course I hastened to check it out.Atmosphere: Echoes of Partage's design in the snug space, but with its own posh stamp. As might be expected from its mission statement, champagne was the key motif, from bottles to bubble lamp fixtures to color scheme. Rotating French art was screened over the bar. Bar chairs seemed a tad low for the vertically challenged.I had intended originally to just order a small snack, but that quickly went out the window after perusing the menu and hearing Matthew describe the specials.Champagne Problems ($23): An elegant drink with a gentle spiced citrus bite.Oyster Special ($20): Got me with the mention of "cheese". Half dozen BC mini bivavles, pungent but clean zesty taste, might have liked the crisp yuzu chip garnish to be more evident for the texture contrast.Champagne Flight: The Regular level at $40 (Telmont Réserve Brut, Drappier Blanc de Blanc, Pommery), very decent pours.Cheese Board ($25): Most excellent selection of soft, hard, mild, sharp cheeses, great variety of accoutrements, and fab crusty baguette.Jalisco Sour ($20): Interesting twist, the berrilicious wine top lending a subtle smooth juiciness to the sour base, and followed the liquid level down (rather than become muddled or dissipated) while the glass was drained.Value: A YMMV. The bites were very shareable, drinks and food were quality.Service: Very winning and informative from Matthew, and from what I observed the other fellows behind the bar also."

"Let me start by saying that I wasn't excited about going here. My son had purchased a gift card for Christmas so I decided that today, even though I didn't think the menu seemed that exciting, would be the day. I couldn't have been more pleased. My server for starters was exceptional and the chef, which kinda felt like may have been the owner even brought one of my dishes out. Everything was mouthwatering and delicious and it's decorated appropriately. Attached, is what I ordered with description."

Chyna Club

"We stayed at Fontainebleau and this was our first night for dinner and the food was amazing what a beautiful restaurant very elegant but comfortable the service was good the food was outstanding as were the drinks. The absolute best dish was the eggplant"

Loaded Empanadas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (108) • $$

"Yes, I'm impressed with the aesthetics. I first noticed the wooden flooring with the appearance of worn blue paint. It worked well. The dining arrangement easily seats 2-4 per table except if you get the nook area. I'm sure they can manage putting tables together for larger parties; plus there's a space in their loft upstairs. The empanadas are from what I take Argentinian and Brazilian inspirations. We got droolsome mushroom and Philly with an app of flavorful cauliflower. Each empanada order comes with two generously filled pieces. I shared my mushroom ones which came with chimichuri sauce. I could've had another piece! We had dined when they opened that late morning. Their service and attentiveness were superb - answering questions and inviting us for our first experience. The vibe is comfy casual. Great place for a short get-together, delicious food and drinks, excellent service!"

A Different Beast

★★★★★ 4.7 (39)

"I had an outstanding dining experience at A Different Beast! Their tapas and pintxos selection is remarkable. The pintxos with buttered white peaches were my favorite --each bite was a delightful mix of sweet and savory. The manchego cheese with honey mango was also great, perfectly balancing rich and fruity flavors. Additionally, the Croquetas de Jamon Iberico were really good, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The service was polite and nice, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to savor delicious tapas and pintxos!"

Uncle’s Tapas Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (31)

"I am absolutely shocked with this place! The restaurant is very new, clean, and staff is very friendly. I came in for dinner and I ordered the salmon with garlic aioli, for the two sides I asked for veggies for both. The veggies were cooked perfectly, the salmon was delicious. I think this is my new go to meal!! Plus it looked phenomenal and it was only $16!!!! The way this dish tasted and looked, could easily pass for way more! The restaurant looks like it was made for groups and parties because they have a stage, dj set and large monitors. There's also a full bar! I'm glad I decided to check this place out because it's definitely going to be one of my favorites!!"

Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"Yum yum firefly. I love the tapas of Firefly. This is my third time in their new location. The service was a bit slow tonight but other than that everything was good. The highlights were the ribs, the Mac and cheese and the pork empanadas. Very good coffee and sangria too."

Ton Shou

★★★★★ 4.7 (513) • $$

"This was a very tasty dining experience and was our first time trying this eatery. You can make a reservation online which is very convenient and highly recommend since the interior is small. The decor is simple but comfortable. You definitely don't get a lot of room, and it's abit tight between tables. The service was friendly but not terribly attentive. A drink order was forgotten and water was not very proactively refilled. We tried the chicken karage starter. The chicken was juicy with a crunchy coating, but it lacked the sake flavor you expect from karage. Still good for what it was, though. I had the chicken tonkatsu entree. This was very delicious! The chicken was juicy and the coating crunchy but not oily. I love the freshly steamed rice you get with the meal as well. We also tried the house special which includes shrimp and two kinds of pork. I have to say the pork was better than the chicken. It was amazingly tender and delicious with an almost cloud-like texture similar to what you get from the famous Saboten restaurant in Asia. Overall, this was a great dining experience that we look forward to repeating!!"

Oodle Noodle

★★★★★ 4.5 (711) • $$

"Was craving a shrimp tempura udon since it's cold in Vegas now and this restaurant didn't disappoint. Even though I arrived about 15 minutes before the last call for their lunch opening hours, I didn't feel rushed to order. The food arrived very quickly and the customer service was nice. The interior is very clean with a nice view into the kitchen to see prep. Love that they also sell fresh onigiri. Tempura udon was the ideal portion for me with a very even soup to noodle ratio. The tempura was perfectly fried and didn't fall apart in my soup. I appreciate the availability of condiments to add to the soup readily accessible tableside. The shichimi and tempura flakes are my favorite to add in."

Hachi

★★★★★ 4.5 (891) • $$

"We came here for dinner with a group of 6 and was able to get reservations considering we made reservations earlier in the day. Definitely get a reservation since this place was busy. The parking lot was packed so it might be hard finding parking and also might be good to carpool. There were a lot of people here eating. Our waitress was nice and helpful when we asked about food on the menu. We ordered a lot of yakitori from waygu beef to pork belly to chicken wing to chicken thigh. We also ordered a few other dishes that I forgot the names to. There were a lot of other food on the menu that sounded good to me but that would have to be for next time.The yakitori was delicious and so good! If you're a fan of yakitori then this would be the place to go. Everything I tried was delicious and I would recommend the yakitori here. The Tiger Roll was good and the miso soup was not bad as well. I would definitely order the same things next time since they were so good.Overall, Hachi was a great place to eat some yakitori and I definitely will be back when I'm back in Las Vegas."

Omoide Noodles & Bowls

★★★★☆ 4 (802) • $$

"After seeing a glowing review on YT I decided to drive out of my way to have lunch. While the katsu curry lunch combo was fine, and with a large portion of rice, I didn't feel it was anything extraordinary.Seating here seems weird with metal chairs that look to have been purchased at a closeout sale somewhere."

Anima by Edo

★★★★★ 4.6 (392) • $$$

"We started the year off with a tasting experience for the soul at Anima by EDO in Las Vegas. Not to be mistaken by Anyma at the Sphere, an entirely different experience. When it comes to fine dining, the food is the star, but the experience is performed by the people. @animabyedo hit all the marks. The food was amazing, the tasting menu well priced, and the portions were great. We barely made it through to the dessert. The evening highlight was laughter and smiles with BJ and Joe, our waiter and sommelier. The night was well worth the 30-minute trip from the Vegas strip. The Kaluga Caviar & Eggs *chef's kiss* I still daydream of that egg , highly recommend the supplement. We also had fantastic wine pairing and cocktails. (Their sister restaurant Edo Gastro in Chinatown is also a fantastic experience)."

Bazaar Mar by José Andrés

★★★★☆ 4.3 (57)

"Delicious food and cocktails! Always love Jose Andres' restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful with fun patterns and colors around the space. Bathroom has dark and moody vibes. Our server was attentive and very open to our opinions of faves and least faves although everything was good. Faves of the Creative Tasting Experience were the Maine Lobster Salpicon (prepped 2 ways one being a more rare one and one cooked mixed with a delicious sauce), sea urchin cone, Jamon Iberico de Bellota (the tomato dishes I've tried from Jose's restaurants are always so aromatic and the addition of the saltiness from the jamon was prefect), the Anchovy dish (rich and buttery), Maine lobster roll (the bread part of the dish is his air bread, similar to his well known philly cheesesteak airbread dish he had in his LA restaurant in the past).Lastly, the whole fish was delicious and fresh. They had a few variety of fish for us to choose from and our server suggested what to order dependent on the selection available and whether you want it salt baked, fried or grilled."

Azzurra Wine Bar

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I can't believe I am the first to review this place. Everybody must be trying to keep this under the radar.We've been coming whenever we are in the are and its always popular, I'd recommend you book if you are planning to come at the weekend after 6pm.Food is extremely good, we are a fan of the happy hour menu."

Crayve Boards

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"My wife was looking for something cute and simple for our grandsons birthday party. Once she found Crayve Boards on IG, she instantly knew this was the right business for what she was looking for. The charcuterie cups she created for the party were absolutely amazing. The kids and parents loved them!! In fact, the parents couldn't stop raving about them and all asking for their Sierra's business card. So cute, so we'll put together and so delicious. Bonus, the owner, Sierra, is so amazing, such great customer service. We are happy to support this local, small business and will definitely be using her business many times in the future."

Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.1 (627) • $$

"Double Helix is located all the way in the back of Town Square next to the AMC movie theaters. It can be hard to find if you're not familiar.The interesting part is that I've gone here twice. I didn't remember because this restaurant gives two different vibes.Once for Girls Brunch which was awesome. The staff was so kind and accommodating.There was a charcuterie board style of breakfast items that your group selects from the menu and of course a round of mimosas.Everything is shareable.You can also choose from one of their unique blends of whiskey and pair it with a cigar on the patio,Anytime. However my favorite time to dine there is dinner. We sat outside and enjoyed the fire pit. Very cozy and intimate. We didn't realize we arrived during happy hour so we just ordered so many yummy foods. There is even a patio special if you ask for it. We got $1 crunchy tacos $4 lobster tacos and carnitas if you purchase a $7shot of premium tequila. It was amazing, it had a caramel undertone to it. The winning dish of the night was the Korean pizza 20/10. They do change the specialty pizzas weekly so be sure to ask if you are feeling pizza.Either time to go is great.The staff is friendly and attentive but not pushy I enjoyed talking with our server she was very kind and informative. The vibe is casual but I would definitely recommend it for date night or singles. No kids at night because smoking cigars are allowed on the patio and it's a grown and sexy kinda vibe. Couples pin this one for date night."
