Best Vegan Restaurants in The Shops at Crystals

Beauty & Essex is one of my Las Vegas favorites. The atmosphere is fun, and the music is just right as a precursor to a night out. The servers can be a little slow with cocktails, but overall service is great. Our water glasses were never empty and food was well-paced. As a group of 6, we ordered 10 different dishes and 2 sides. This is a family style / sharing type restaurant. We were hungry, but didn’t finish all the food. I would say a moderately hungry group could probably go with 6-7 dishes with 1-2 sides and be fine (assume 1/person + 1/4 of a side). The downside is most of the dishes that were the favorites, are those that only had one portion per person. In our party those were: chicken meatballs, grilled cheese dumplings, and the kale apple salad. Least favorites: French dip sliders, scallops, and the filet. Of the sides, we got French fries and broccolini- both great (get horseradish aioli with the fries if ranch is your usual go to). The drinks are good, but I didn’t see anything I found particularly creative and different from similar establishments. Beauty & Essex is great for groups due to the family style plates and atmosphere. It’s loud, so maybe not the place to have conversation with everyone at the table. However, if you need a place to eat before hitting the town Beauty & Essex has great food with an energizing ambiance.

Our experience at Toca Madera was great. We were seated and waited on promptly. The drinks and food were delicious. The staff made sure we received our food and beverages on time and kept coming back to see if we needed anything else. We will try other locations when we visit other cities. It was a memorable evening for us!

Amazing food and great service. The herb branzino was soooo good. Along with the hells fire sushi! A must try

The Ramen was truly fantastic and lived up to their reputation. Every server was incredibly friendly and made us all feel very welcome. All three different ramens we got were top notch in their own way and I’m looking forward to going back.

From the get go we were greeted very politely and enthusiastically by Precious. My name inevitably gets mispronounced, but Precious said it correctly out of the gate so she immediately won brownie points from me. Will was our server and he was super attentive and made sure that our whole party had everything we needed throughout our Christmas Eve early dinner celebration. We thought the Boston location was hands down our favorite but after visiting this one in Vegas and getting the type of service we received from Precious and Will, I have to bump Vegas to the top. Thanks again to Ocean Prime Las Vegas and kudos for hiring two gems like Precious and Will.
