| - I noticed no one has written a review for "The Martini" (previously known as Martini's). However, since they are under new ownership I took it upon myself to devirginize them on Yelp.
First of all, it's been forever since my last review--I've been so busy (aka lazy LOL), but I honestly think the people who work here and run the place are terrific and I hope a favorable first review will inspire other people to try this place.
I often make my rounds at the smaller gaming bars/ restaurants near my house because:
1. I hate the traffic on the Strip
2. I prefer cozier places where I can actually have a conversation
3. The prices on the Strip are outrageous (yes a $20 martini is not just an urban legend)
My roommate and I had heard that one of our favorite bartenders Al who had formerly 'tended at the Sedona Restaurant moved here so we decided to give it a whirl. I had only been to the old Martini's once after pulling one of my all-nighters so I really didn't remember it well. Regardless, I was excited to try "The Martini" for the first time.
My first impression when entering the place is that it's elegantly laid out and immaculately clean. This goes without saying, but sometimes you go into a gaming restaurant/ bar and it feels dirty and ghetto and it goes downhill from there. This is not the case with The Martini--it's nice.
The staff here is GREAT and I've been here several times and have always had great service. The manager Nick is also great and he always thanks everyone for coming in. He seems to go out of his way to make sure everyone is comfortable regardless of age, race, or orientation--which I find highly respectable. I've also met several other industry people who work at restaurants / bars in the surrounding area, which is always a great sign that the place is good.
The Martini also has a extensive & diverse food menu that's way better than your typical bar food. In the 6 or 7 occasions I've been here since their reopening, I've tried several dishes and haven't been disappointed yet. I really enjoyed their cheese & salumi plate and they use a filet for their steak & egg breakfast, which i did find exceptionally good.
Of course they are known as "The Martini" so they have a wide selection of martinis & martini-esque drinks to choose from. I've tried the traditional and the Pom, which were both good and balanced. They also have a pretty good wine list to choose from, both by the glass and the bottle and several beers on tap.
The place is also a full gaming bar with several machines along the bar--I'm not a huge gambler so I can't really comment on the machines but I'm sure you'll find something to tickle your fancy if you're into gaming.
Overall I really like The 'new' Martini and it's my new go-to place near my house. If you live in the area or are passing through, give it a try!
