Essence and Herbs

we went for a quiet dinner after just arriving back into town. I was very pleased with the service, Lloyd, his accent was thick but he totally made us laugh. Chef Paul cooked our steaks perfectly. the wine, the service, the food and company was perfect.

My fiancé and I are having our rehearsal dinner here this upcoming April. We stopped in for dinner last night to check out the menu and taste a few of their appetizers and entrees. We were completely blown away by the level of service that Chanthy, Miguel, and the rest of the employees provided. The food was fantastic! We sampled about 8 different items on the menu and couldn’t choose which one we liked the best. We highly recommend this restaurant for its gorgeous location, amazing food, and top notch service. We can’t wait to be back in April to celebrate our rehearsal dinner here!!!

This place knocked the socks off my taste buds!!! We had a big group with us so we order multiple entrees and a few appetizers, so I was able to try quite a myriad of items! The standout dish was either the lobster tail or the halibut with its spectacular champagne cream sauceI also tried the filet mignon and the chicken picatta, to be honest I could rave about everything I tasted but I’ll cut it short! The service was great very friendly, this place is fabulous!

I can’t say enough about this wonderful restaurant! The food is exceptional and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the lobster and filet as well as the wedge salad. A perfect special occasion, upscale restaurant. You won’t be disappointed!

Came here with my daughter last Monday night. Because I wanted it to be special bonding time on her winter break from school, while staying at Westin Hotel Lake Las Vegas. Looks like we are the only customer at first, but there was a couple at the bar area. We were not greeted at first. The first person we saw was the dishwasher smiled at us and he got our server for us. The only server Server was not bad but couldn’t needs more help because he was the only wait stuff in the whole restaurant. Bread needs more minutes in the microwave and it was dry. The French Onion Soup was salty. I had a Seafood Chowder and it was not hot. I ask for a Caesar salad instead. But waiter gave me a green salad instead. It taste like there’s soil on those lettuce or arugula. The steak was ok but not the best. Mac and cheese was bland. Mash potato was my favorite. Asparagus was thick, taste ok too. The 2 tiny slices of homemade butter was great! I should say. Desert came from Claim Jumper. Better the the apple cobbler with ice cream that they wanted us to have at first. I asked for decaf coffee, he gave me regular. I know because I stayed up all night long, that night. I’m caffeine sensitive. Basically, I work hard for my money paying that much for a steak is not worth it! They need to work on the food temperature, portioning and pricing. I don’t think I would recommend this place to anybody who’s like me.

Ate dinner here tonight. Server Laura was great, food not so much. There were 6 adults & we all agreed. The clam chowder was luke warm & seriously tasted like canned Campbell’s. The coffee was cold too. The entrees were not tasty. Apparently they got a new chef last week who is «trying out new things». Even with half price apps for happy hour, I still wouldn’t go back. My french onion soup was way too salty, and I love salt! The «pom fritte’s» literally were seasoned curly fries straight outta the freezer section at the grocery store. The rolls were incredibly stale (but the butter was good). The bathrooms were stinky, like with a sewage smell. Menu items were not available. It was cold in there, despite multiple portable heaters set up inside. Our server Laura was great though.

Ate here with kids while staying at LLV. It was pretty empty because it was early, and on a Sunday in December. Service was great, atmosphere was very comfortable. Tuna tartare excellent. Flatbread very good. Wedge salad phenomenal. Salad w grilled chicken and cheeseburger were very good.
The filet for my daughter they asked me to let them butterfly it? We ordered hers to be cooked med well, mine medium. Not sure why they wanted to butterfly it because I also ordered a filet so both would be cooking roughly same time. So her’s came out way overcooked and basically 36 dollars of well done cubed steak i could get at a diner. My filet was perfectly cooked but had an odd seasoning /​smell. Not sure what the dry rub is they use but it’s not real good. Kind of too salty /​fishy aroma. There was a new chef cooking that night so maybe it’s just a breaking in period we hit.
Overall this is a great place. And with that is going to be a great bill. We were 2 adults and 2 kids, 1 bottle wine and 2 apps. 250 bucks with 20% tip. I definitely would have gone 5 stars without the filets issues. I would come back… but only after winning a few hundred gambling to cover it.

Some of the best food in Vegas that is not overpriced! Great service and atmosphere!

Our GPS kept giving us the run around when trying to find the restaurant and now we think it was trying to tell us to avoid eating here.
They’ve only been open for 7 months and I don’t honestly see how they can be around for much longer. The décor was VERY orange with a floral arrangement at the entrance that looks like they swiped from a nearby cemetery … dead. .very dead. There was a lot of clutter and we had a view of the kitchen trash cans and chaos.
They did a good job on the steak but it was way overpriced. The CZR salad was awful and the mac n cheese had no flavor at all. The lobster bisque was ok but way too salty. We weren’t the only guests sending food back to kitchen.
Our server did his best to make our visit not miserable. We spent $ 80 and left hungry.

Food is awesome. Service is great. What a team. The team at Essence and Herbs made our experience very enjoyable. Thanks to Daniel, Dj, Laura, Megan and the chefs makes this place. By the way try the crab cakes, jalapeño bacon scallops and the crème brûlée. We had the ribeye and it was on point!!!

My best friend has her wedding here for 60 people. The food was amazing and quite honestly, the best I’ve ever had! There was prime rib, ribs, shrimp curry with regular and fried rice, salad… You name it! And it was all actually GREAT! Everything was moist and tender! Not dry at all! I highly recommend this restaurant. Two thumbs up!

This place was amazing. We chose it for our wedding rehearsal dinner and it could not have gone any better. The manager, Chanthy, helped planning every detail and it was executed to perfection. Every single item of food we ate was delicious and the service was on point as well. I highly recommend this place — whether for an intimate dinner date or a group outing. You will undoubtedly leave VERY full because you won’t want to stop eating. Enjoy!

Love love love this restaurant. Delicious and great customer service. I know we will be back.

Amazing food! Great setting with water views, steak was wonderful. We came here after eating at bobby flay’s mesa grill and enjoyed the steak much more for about half the price. Quiet and calming surrounding with great views. We got a meal for two and all dishes were so tasty, even for my picky husband. We will be back!

Luckily we stumbled upon this place while celebrating our anniversary and my husbands birthday at Lake Las Vegas. The flavor of everything was perfect! The steak was cooked to perfect at medium. The mac n cheese was seriously to die for. The broccoli was flavored with the pancetta. We will come back next time we are at Lake LV!

This is one of the best restaurants in Lake Las Vegas period. If you enjoy steakhouses then this is the place for you. I ordered the Boneless RibEye and it was like eating cotton candy! Mouth watering succulence at its finest. Make sure you get a side of their Mac & Cheese, you will NOT be disappointed. Very flavorful.
The service was remarkable! It seemed like I had multiple servers. Everyone was so helpful and courteous. It was very appreciative.
The view from the patio is amazing. It’s right by the water and the main stage inside Lake Las Vegas.
If you want a nice night out with your significant other then come to this place.

Wow, all I can say is what a fabulous restaraunt, service, and excellent food, Essence and Herbs provides. We have traveled the world, frequented many 5 star restaraunts and this hidden gem fits the bill. We have eaten here several times and entertained many friends there and I am the hero! Bravo to all at Essence and Herbs! Bravo.

Hidden treasure! The staff took care of our large party from beginning to end!!! The food was fabulous!!! Ask Daniel for the lobster mac n cheese! The Essence dessert is to die for!!! This place is definitely worth the drive!!! @essenceandherbs

WOW! WOW! WOW! If you want to be wowed, this is THE place to go! It was, by far, the best steak dinner I’ve ever had. The service was excellent, and the décor was very nice.
We had the crab cakes to start, the sauce was excellent and the cakes were small, but huge in flavor! (If you have that, you really have to eat it in tiny bites… so good). My husband had the Lobster Bisque, and he really enjoyed that.
For our main course, I had the filet mignon, and my husband had the 20 oz New York steak, both were cooked perfectly. The sides were awesome (mash potatoes, mushrooms, and asparagus). I cannot say enough about how great this place is, it was worth every penny. We didn’t try any desserts because we were too full. We’ve found our new favorite steakhouse, and it’s at Lake Las Vegas!

My wife and I had dinner here on the third day they were open. I expected glitches, but there weren’t any!
The design of the restaurant is very stylish and elegant.
Our meals were superb!
My wife had the Halibut, and I had the Filet Mignon. This is easily the best steak in the village right now. My wife thought her meal was great.
This would be a good night out if you are looking for a special date night out.
