| - Vegas is one of the leading areas that hosts some of the largest conferences and events in the world and draws in every ethnic, cultural and religious person too!
And yet, Kosher food options are slim pickings round these parts!
Everyone who is anyone was telling me to visit newcomer Ace of Steaks since they opened in the fall and I was a bit hesitant to do so since I've had many misses with "just opened" establishments. Nonetheless, I headed off during lunch time to see what all the hype was about.
Here is why I believe they will be successful. We judge an establishment by how it looks decor wise/cleanliness, how we are treated from the minute we walk in the door and obviously the food. Ellie and Moshe painstakingly looked at what they didn't like about from their personally experiences being restaurant patrons and made sure not to have those mistakes happen here.
Decor is very modern with clean lines and a bit of Vegas history in the mix: the leather booth seats in the restaurant were hand made by the same designer who made the large ship in front of Treasure Island Casino. They are also planning on helping local Vegas artists by displaying their paintings on the restaurant walls to help them sell as well.
Their staff, actually enjoys working here. Ellie personally drives home the fact that this is a family team effort and that every member of her house matters. I loved that when I asked my server Rubi, what she recommended from the menu, she didn't just point to the most expensive item on it, but she suggested things that she really enjoyed trying and why. It made me want to try more items than one person dining solo could nor should.
We eat with our eyes before we eat with our stomach. Presentation of each dish was thoughtful and beautiful. Ellie explained how dishes were served in a different way at first but through trial and error and trend, they started to change it up a bit and it works really well here.
Everything I had for lunch reminded me of meals I've had at the dinner tables of my LA Persian friend's parent's homes (and yes there is a difference btwn East coast and west coast Persian food!). The dips: Matbucha, Hummus, babsganoush, candied walnut coleslaw, the Tahdig with the flavorful Ghorme and Gheymeh stews, Variety of kabobs, the cumin laced cigars. One could taste that they were all made with love and care.
I didn't have room for dessert but I ordered them anyway! I'm not a fan of pareve desserts because they usually taste off. But I have to say their creme brulee was spot on, the pecan bread pudding was not clawing sweet and super moist and who can say no to chocolate lava cake.
This is a must go to place when you are here in Vegas! Plus they offer shabbos meal take out packages, catering and more!
