Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Southern Highlands

Very interesting flavors and dishes. The Chef and his team seem very talented and passionate. I really enjoyed the Culinary journey they took us. Every single bite we took was full of flavors and umami. A mix of cultures and cuisines that worked beautifully for each course and made you crave more. You have a beautiful location, a true jewel for the city. Thank you so much for creating something different from the usual. We were very impressed.

Beauty & Essex is one of my Las Vegas favorites. The atmosphere is fun, and the music is just right as a precursor to a night out. The servers can be a little slow with cocktails, but overall service is great. Our water glasses were never empty and food was well-paced. As a group of 6, we ordered 10 different dishes and 2 sides. This is a family style / sharing type restaurant. We were hungry, but didn’t finish all the food. I would say a moderately hungry group could probably go with 6-7 dishes with 1-2 sides and be fine (assume 1/person + 1/4 of a side). The downside is most of the dishes that were the favorites, are those that only had one portion per person. In our party those were: chicken meatballs, grilled cheese dumplings, and the kale apple salad. Least favorites: French dip sliders, scallops, and the filet. Of the sides, we got French fries and broccolini- both great (get horseradish aioli with the fries if ranch is your usual go to). The drinks are good, but I didn’t see anything I found particularly creative and different from similar establishments. Beauty & Essex is great for groups due to the family style plates and atmosphere. It’s loud, so maybe not the place to have conversation with everyone at the table. However, if you need a place to eat before hitting the town Beauty & Essex has great food with an energizing ambiance.

We wanted to try something different so we booked Christmas dinner for 4 and it was the BEST decision! Mom had shrimp cocktail appetizer, they were HUGE! Her meal was scallops that was cooked perfectly, my son had the Salmon and there wasn’t anything left on his plate! Hubby had a NY and it was so thick and cooked exactly as ordered, I had the Pierogis w/duck confit, which I had never tried before but love pierogis so I gave it a try and could of had another it was SOOO GOOD! The service was very attentive and the prices were very reasonable. We were Very pleased with Twin Creeks at the Silverton. We will be dining here again foot sure!! Thank you for making this a great Christmas dinner!

Family dinner on Christmas in the evening and staff was happy and made us feel very welcome! In addition to their regular full.menu, they had a 3 course holiday menu. The food was very good and we weren't rushed out so we could enjoy our meal together as well as the conversation. We have been here before for breakfast, which is always amazing!

Solid breakfast and brunch spot for reasonable Vegas prices
