Restaurants near Smith Center for the Performing Arts

Such a unique experience in Vegas. Takes guts to open a jazz bar. Please support this place!

We had a memorable experience at HK. The staff was very attentive but not hovering. Our waiter James made our special day, our anniversary so special. The food was superb! We both had the Beef Wellington and Sticky Toffee Pudding in London, but this one blew our minds! My husband even had goose bumps! Everything from the cocktail, the Forbidden Fruit, the Pear, Endive, Escarole salad, the signature Beef Wellington, Lobster Risotto, and of course the grand finale, the Sticky Toffee Pudding were delicious and met our expectations and beyond. We will be back and spread the word. Thank you, HK, for making our anniversary dinner one of the best experiences ❤️ ever!

The cocktails, the shrimp cocktail, the lobster bisque, the beef rib cap (with blue cheese sauce), the asparagus, the carrot cake and coffee… and the waitstaff were stellar. Last time I was there, the noise level in the restaurant was so loud it was difficult to converse. This time the level was so much better and easier to talk.

There is an ample amount of variety at this buffet, including pizza, seafood and vegan options. Unlike other buffets, the food was actually seasoned, which was nice. I was very excited for the dessert Ísland, but ended up being very disappointed. The desserts were mediocre, at best. Again, a large variety, but the taste and quality weren’t there. I suppose you can’t expect much from a buffet that caters to hundreds of people each day, that’s a huge undertaking and quality control has to be extremely difficult. That said, unless you’re a huge eater or only eat prime rib and crab legs, this buffet is very expensive. It was $92 (with taxes & fees) for one person. I definitely wasn’t able to eat my money’s worth. The servers were all very friendly and my table was comfortable and clean. I’m glad I went, as it’s been a thing I’ve wanted to do while in Vegas, but doubt I’ll return for the sheer cost alone.

I love this place! Food is excellent! The baguette is so authentic and with the carrot salad with the champagne vinaigrette that came with it . . . OMG! The escargot was as good as I remember in Burgundy. The onion soup was served at the perfect temp - hot, but not burn the roof of your mouth hot - and so tasty. Our server was sooo good! I wish we could recall her name. She took extra time to make sure exactly how my wife wanted her burger cooked (their collaboration settled on “medium rare +”) and then checked to be sure my wife was happy when it came. She was. If you love French food or have never tried, this place is a must in Vegas!!
