Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in El Cortez Hotel & Casino

I had an absolute amazing time at Esther’s Kitchen. From the ambience to the decor and service, it’s all tip notch. I came in to surprise my now fiancée after proposing to her in her birthday and they congratulated us with a glass of wine of the house. Our server, who I believe is named Alex, was absolutely stellar and did an amazing job explaining the menu and some of there great dishes there. I knew what cocktail I wanted to try and it was a great balance of the bourbon tase but with a subtle sweetness. My fiancée didn’t know what she really wanted and Alex made her a cocktail that was spot on for her palate with a few questions! We ordered the Basil, Burrata, and Anchovy butter to go with the bread and they all were great, highly recommended! I ordered the dry age steak and my fiancée ordered the Risotto and both were wonderful,. The steak had a great crust on the steak with a good depth of flavor. The risotto was super rich and flavorful. I recommend adding the Parmesan on top to make it that much better. I can’t wait to come back in the future to try more of the menu! One of, if not, the best dining experience off strip in Vegas that isn’t crazy on your pockets! Make sure you ask for Alex, she is amazing server and made our special day that much better!

After living in Las Vegas for 6 years, we finally made it to Oscar's. I have heard good things about the place, and they were not kidding! The three of us shared the Tomahawk steak with Bearnaise sauce, baked potato, mushrooms, and asparagus, all cooked to perfection. It was so delicious and satisfying that we did not have room for desert, so can't review that, unfortunately, but I am sure it is all good! Classy place, great service and located inside the Plaza Hotel, which as been revamped and looks terrific. We highly recommend visiting Oscar's for a meal you will love and not soon forget.

First time there, and we will definitely be back! The food and the service were great! Thanks Sarah!

We had Christmas dinner and it was amazing. At first the waitress took pretty long to get our order but afterwards she was great. We had such an amazing time and the food was great! We ordered too much food but they packed up the rest for us. Really loved it.

Golden Steer Steakhouse is a great restaurant to try atleSt once whole in Vegas. Social media has added to the notariaty of this restaurant, which in turn is reflected in the high price for the meal. The lobster, although good, is overpriced. It appears that the prices have increased over the past few months. The steaks are great but too overpriced. The service is top notch, no issues there. But the dress code requirements, although a nice rule, are not consistent.
