James Trees creative take on Italian cuisine has made Esthers Kitchen one of the most lauded independent restaurants in Southern Nevada ever since it opened in 2018. And a busy one, to boot.<\/p>\n
So busy, in fact, that the popular Arts District destination is moving from its Casino Center Boulevard location into a larger space just half a block away on Main Street. The new location is 1131 S. Main St.<\/p>\n
Were really excited about this. Yes, Esthers is going to be moving into the Retro Vegas building, said Eric Gladstone, spokesman for the restaurant.<\/p>\n
The gentlemen who owned Retro Vegas are retiring, and James has been friendly with his neighbors for a long time, Gladstone said, alluding to Retro Vegas longtime presence in the area. Its a favorite of collectors of mid-century modern furniture and kitsch from across Las Vegas and for visitors from around the globe alike.<\/p>\n
Its a really incredible building, and were going to try and stay as authentic to the building as it exists now, he said Tuesday. Nothings getting knocked down; we like that building.<\/p>\n
Gladstone notes that the Retro Vegas plot has a courtyard that will be central to the new restaurant layout, and that Esthers needs space that its current space doesnt offer.<\/p>\n
Its really going to expand Esthers Kitchen into a world-class restaurant, said Gladstone, noting that the location-to-come will offer room for attractions like pasta-making stations and live-fire cooking.<\/p>\n
Its going to allow James and the whole team to do everything that they want to do, he said. Esthers has become so popular its bursting at the seams.<\/p>\n
And what about the current Esthers Kitchen location? Gladstone says Trees plans to transform it into a French restaurant called LAristocrat.<\/p>\n
But theres no need to worry that there will be a break in Esthers Kitchen service anytime soon. Construction will take place through the rest of this year with an expected 2023 opening.<\/p>\n
