Late night visit tonight, courtesy of my roommate who was celebrating her birthday and picked the place, and now I remember why I stopped going here when management changed a ways back....
Look, there were some good parts. The food was decent, fresh, tasted nice and came out fast - nothing to rave about necessarily but I would (theoretically) go there and eat again. It's tasty, especially for a late night bite. Drinks selections are varied and interesting, but wine tastes a bit stale (like it's been open in the bottle in the fridge for way too long).
The big problem is that the service honks. For me, there's a thousand options in this town for food and drink, and many of them have quality offerings, so what really brings me back is service. And service here stinks - never worse than tonight. Sat down and waited nearly 10 minutes to be acknowledged and offered a drink. Actually, I had to ask for a drink. Had to ask for food. The only reason I had menus is because they were still sitting on the bar from whoever had them before. Let me say - the place was not busy. There were two guys behind the bar - one in uniform, one not. And if the one not in uniform was the owner, we're all screwed, because he was so disinterested in customer service this review won't mean diddly squat.
The inattentiveness and empty glasses sitting there for ages in desperate anticipation of  a refill were nasty enough, but the kicker was when the bartender miraculously stopped by to ask how we were (well over an hour  into being there and so irritated and exhausted flagging him down for service we were leaving anyways) and my friend responded with a question, and he, in all seriousness, looked at her, his eyes kind of glazed over, and then he just walked away as she was in mid-sentence. It was pretty much the rudest, most outright unbelievably inhospitable thing I've seen in any bar or restaurant in a long time. I'm not a big fan of people dissing my friends. This dude just did. not. care.
I'm in the industry, and I'd shoot myself in the face before a guest even had  a chance to complain if I ever behaved like that.
We didn't let it ruin our night - the service was so ludicrous and the snub so insane that we actually laughed our asses off. I still tipped over 20%, because our industry is all about karma and I can't help myself, but I'll never go back Martini's because their service sucks truffled macaroni and cheese balls.
And worse for them - I'll be telling everyone else to avoid it too.
My husband and I stopped by here for a couple of drinks and some appetizers. We sat at a small table to the side of the bar in comfy chairs. The food was good, they have really interesting items to choose from that are tasty and not boring. They have an interactive jukebox with a lot of music! I loved that part the best.
Review Source:Extremeley politie and classy staff! Great Food wonderful service and the best Martini's in Las Vegas! The atmosphere is perfect and the crowd are all good people! I highly reccomend this place for business meeting and a nice get together for people who appreciate a good Martini or a nice glass of wine. Did I mention the food? EXQUISITE!
Review Source:This place is a secret gem!! My boyfriend and I tried them the first time via online delivery. We decided to try them in person a few days ago and it was nt retreated. First off, they have amazing mac&cheese balls. Do not miss those. I had a great salad with the tangerine dressing, it was awesome. My bf loved the spaghetti. The martinis were worth going back for. They offer low-cal options for drinks.
The best part? The fluffier nutter! It was absolutely awesome! :)
glad this place reopened. Â great space. Â the only down side is its proximity to summerlin. Â i had the grilled chicken sandwich with pesto. Â the chicken was moist and the bread fresh, but the pesto lacked flavor. Â i'm guessing they used spinach as a filler instead of pure basil. Â still, the sandwich was pretty good and the fries were also good. Â i've also had the crab cake which is ok. Â service is good.
Review Source:Sights- Â Atmospheric notch or two above a local pub and grub venue with it's low lighting and sections with comfy club chairs and fireplaces. Â Large Bar and TV's throughout.
Sounds- Some great 90's tracks playing at just the right level.
Smells - Â Eau de Sour Bar. Â Not strong enough to make you gag, but persistent enough to cause constant olfactory distress.
Selections- Limited Happy Hour cocktail specials- $5 Skyy Vodka drinks, $4 well drinks, $3 drafts. Â Small but varied selection of appetizers in the $5 to $7 range.
Service- Efficient and pleasant.
We had:
A Skyy Raspberry Cosmo & a Stella. Shrug!
The Ferrari-Carano Marinated Chicken Flat-bread with Caramelized Onions, Jack Cheese and Mushrooms. Â Truly delicious and savory!
Synopsis- Â The stench was a super bummer. Â The happy hour drinks, though cheap, were uninspiring; just drinks, not craft cocktails. Â The decor was OK. Â The flat-bread was terrific, but that alone is not enough to make me want to come back.
Our arms were twisted after a Yelp event to meet up for some drinks.
I wasn't hungry so I just got a Mint Chocolate Girl Scout Cookie Martini that was incredible! My husband ended up ordering a Drunken Kobe Burger with a side of House Fries. He loved the burger. I wasn't into it, but the Cabernet Demi that they put on the side for dipping was addictive. It was more like a gravy, dip your fries in it, that's all you need to know. Do It!
Our waiter was excellent. Prices are good for the quality.
I will definitely go back for more.
This was a recommendation from Bobby, Misti CM's man. Â Thanks for the great rec! Â This place had a really nice atmosphere. Â The drinks were reasonably priced and yummy. Â I had a lemon drop martini, while my friend had a thin mintini. Â The food was tasty. Â The server was odd, but he was prompt and he tried. Â If we are in the area again, we would return.
Review Source:Next up for Restaurant Week was The Martini. Â My junior-sized Shrimp Cocktail still appeared to be defrosting but was still tasty with a very good Horseradish-based Sauce. Â Tomato Bisque Soup with Creme Fraiche and basil was zesty. Â A Side Caesar Salad with Mozzarella shavings on top was also very good. Â
Grilled Rosemary Lemon Salmon with Risotto that tasted like vanilla, and al dente grilled Zucchini, featured a great moist hunk of salmon. Â A gooey Fried Oreo Sundae proved to be an excellent, novel dessert.
The atmosphere was comfortable in a large dining room walled off from the bar, with soft jazz piped in overhead. Â Service was very good except I had to ask twice for Sweet & Low for my Iced Tea. Â I expect to continue to frequent this fine establishment--not for libations for for beautifully prepared comfort food.
I had a really nice meal at The Martini. Â My husband and I had the Restaurant Week menu, and were very pleased. Â The crab cake was homemade and the shrimp cocktail was small but very well done. Â The salmon was excellent - very large portion, half of which will be lunch tomorrow. Â My husband's filet was beautifully tender. Â You could cut it with a butter knife. Â The star of the meal was the fried Oreo sundae. Â Fried Oreo cookies are sublime. Â This is a really nice bar - definitely worth a visit.
Review Source:Loved their fried Oreo dessert! My friend ordered that, and I had a piece. Probably one of the best desserts I've had in my life. They kind of reminded me of beignets too. I ordered the tiramisu dessert which was delish. We enjoyed their flatbread with mozzarella, tomato, and artichoke. It was good and on the healthy side and had the Bliss martinis. Our waitress was GREAT too! Always checked on us and gave us her recommendations.
Review Source:Happy Hour is awesome. Â It's a little early, but when you're running errands and ready for a drink but it's not quite "5 o'clock", pop in! Â They repeat it again at midnight for night-owls.
FOOD - we had the happy hour flautas (4 stars), calamari (2 stars), martini sliders (5 stars), sloppy sliders (4 stars), chicken/onion/mushroon flatbread (3 stars), wings (3 stars for hot, 4 stars for the thai peanut) and the mac & cheese balls (5 stars...LOVE mac & cheese!). Â Portions were at least 3 of each...but more wings & flautas and the flatbread was big/meal-size. Â I thought the prices were great.
DRINKS - there's no scam on limiting the draft beer that's on happy hour to PBR or Bud Light like you see at some places....they were all on happy hour!! Â The martinis are filled to the brim full-size martini glasses and not watered down. Â
SERVICE - attentive enough/no complaints. Â plates were cleared in a timely manner, drinks were filled promptly, food came out sufficiently fast. 3.5 stars
ATMOSPHERE - I liked it.  The bar area is a large bar that circles the entire bar area around the bartender w/ some in-bar gaming, but not every seat so it's not a total gambling joint.  There are 3 fireplaces w/ club chairs in front of the fireplaces...very cozy for a party of 2-5.  There's a nook at the front corner of the bar that would seat a bigger group.  There are flat screens thoughout the bar so the sports fan is entertained.  And there's music from a video jukebox so  music playing in the background even if people aren't pumping in $.  It really has something for everyone.
We peeked at the dining area when we left around 6:45 p.m.--it was packed so it might be a good idea to make reservations if you plan on going on a fri or sat night.
This was our first visit and I forgot to look at the regular menu, but we'll definitely be back for the happy hour.
Showed up to The Martini one evening because it was late and I was starving. Â Was originally at Tivoli Village when a local suggested that we come here for a quick bite. She also mentioned that this was also a local hang out for other bartenders and locals around town. You really can't go wrong with a place for drinks when other bartenders go here, right?
Upon entering, my first thought was that this place is like the other pubs but more sleek and definitely more sexy. Â I also noticed a few people from Tivoli Village that migrated here after they closed. Â It's like the party out here in Summerlin never ends.
As for me and my friend for the evening, we shared a plate of calamari and I had their Ahi Tuna Sliders. Â Both were excellent and we ended the evening with a few drinks.
Usually pubs are places to hang with the homeboys. The Martini flipped that idea and is more of a place with an intimate setting for a quick nibble and a couple of drinks.
Maybe I need to come here again, but I wasn't really mowed over with awesomeness like I was expecting.
Yes, it's a nice place, we sat at one of the 'lounge' areas with nice big comfortable chairs and our server was totally cool and nice. Â By the way, a Yelp check in will get you a $5 shot of Patron for up to 4 people - that was nice! The inside seems kinda cramped or something , it's a strange layout with a huge bar and the lounge type seating areas kinda sprinkled around the bar so it has a cozy feel to it. Like I said it's probably just me. It was a nice place to grab a drink and b.s. and they've got some nice sized HD tv's around the bar area.
We didn't eat there so no comment on their food. We were offered a 'kitchen mistake totally free' by our server which was really cool but we weren't at all hungry so we turned her down. Next time I'll try and eat  something there and see how the food is.
Thanks to groupon (and Yelp) I've found another local hidden gem! Â I've passed The Martini up a dozen or more times while going to and fro up in Summerlin, but never thought twice about it. Â The Martini is tucked away in the southwest corner of Fort Apache and Charleston next to Via Brasil Steakhouse. Â
It was quiet on the Monday we visited (No Monday night football). Â We were the only people in the dining room area, but the food made up for the almost silent surroundings. Â Later in the night the staff ended up turning on the music. Â The dining room does have comfy seating, TVs, and three fireplaces to keep it interesting. Â
All of the food was great or pretty close to great. Â Here's the break down on what we ordered:
Appetizer: Spicy Ahi tuna chips - B+ - I loved the crispness of the chips. Â The wontons chips were shaped like tortilla chips and it was like scooping up salsa except it was big chunks of Ahi tuna. Â There was a creamy wasabi sauce that accompanied the dish fantastically. Â The only downfall was the avocado. Â It didn't look freshly cut and had a slightly brown tint. Â The dish itself tasted good though and I would order it again. Â
House salad - A - No complaints here. Â I really enjoyed the freshness of the greens. Â Also, the salad consisted of dark leafy greens, not the cheap iceberg crap most bars serve. Â It had fresh parmesan flakes which was a nice touch.
Entrees - I ordered the All American burger, but a few bites into the burger, I realized they had given me the The Drunken Kobe burger. Â It was good, but not what I ordered. Â When I brought it to the attention of my server, she swiftly took it away and had the chef fire up the All American. Â Man! That was a yummy burger! Â It's like an In n' Out burger, but bigger and better! I highly recommend it! Â A++. Â The fries became cold pretty quickly though. Â I wish they had fries with better quality. Â I would have preferred a smaller mound of better quality fries as opposed to the huge mound of mediocre fries I received. Â Â
The Martini Linguini - B - I didn't see this on the regular menu. Â We were ordering off of the "groupon" menu. Â To sum it up: it's linguine in a creamy sauce with garlic bread, a nice sized chicken breast, and about 5 stalks of asparagus. Â Not bad, but not stellar. Â
Drinks - A+ - They have an awesome martini list with sweet, classic, low calorie, and indulgent concoctions. Â Plus they offer a bunch of wine, beer, and liquor selections. Â I had the Manhattan, which was strong and simple.
Dessert - B+ - The nutter fluffer dessert brought me back to my elementary years. Â In fact, Â this dessert is my childhood treat on steroids. Â Take a simple peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich, deep fry it and provide chocolate sauce for dipping. Â Vuala! Â It sure was sinful, but it could have used more PB and marshmallow fluff on the inside to really put it over the top. Â
The only hiccup was bringing me the wrong burger, but they quickly made it right. Â They even gave me a free beer to make up for it. Â Our server was sweet and personable. Â The Martini isn't just some ordinary neighborhood bar. Â Great food, inventive drinks, awesome service, and comfortable atmosphere means these guys make the grade!
I can only offer a limited review of The Martini. Â I was here Tuesday night for the Yelp Book Club meeting. Â They have a very nice dining room to the left of the bar when you come in that's almost a separate room.
We only had drinks during the club. Â The server was very polite and prompt, and he returned to ask if we wanted more of what we had ordered. Â I looked at the bar menu and the dessert menu and they have a nice selection.
Tip for Yelpers--check the menu. Â There's a number to text a word to, all shown on the menu, and you'll get a free dessert from their menu. Â That was enough to hook me and I'm planning to go back and have dinner there. Â I hope to be able to raise my star rating an extra one.
So we went here on a Groupon, and what a Groupon it was!!! It was I believe $49 for one app, two salads, two entrees, a dessert, and two drinks. HOLY SMOKES THAT'S A LOT!! But I mean hey, it's off the Strip by about 10 minutes in Summerlin, which is a nice suburb of Vegas, I know because my parents used to buy and sell condo's there before the great bust sometime ago now. So anyway...the place is nice inside. Its kinda off in a corner of a parking lot, and at first you're kind of like mmmm I'm not so sure about this place, but then you open the doors and it's all good. It was a very slow night since it was Monday night, I really didn't mind that at all since of course you're always battling the crowds on the Strip.
So we sat down, the fireplace wasn't lit so we asked the server to light it, which she did and so began our culinary adventure. HAHA OK well it wasn't anything that fancy but it was nice. The chicken wings we got were tasty for the app, the salads were a little too dressing-ed out for my liking (next time I will be asking dressing on the side) but the drinks were super tasty! I ordered the burger, which was complicated as hell on paper but pretty darn tasty if you ask me (although I have had better but that doesn't matter it still was a good burger). My friend had the Fish n Chips and said he liked them, but by time our entrees had come out we were beyond stuffed! It was a little too much food but that's OK I'd rather have more food than not enough. We got our dessert to go, the Fluffer Nutter, which was OMG amazing at 3am which drunk! HAHA so yes all in all it was a great place and I would most definitely come back, but the Groupon sure helps a lot :)
They'll "buy" you a drink for being part of the Service Industry. That means, you can work at a trashy Dairy Queen on The Strip and, HORRAYS, free beer :D
I like the crowd that comes here, but the women that come inside are "prissy" like, always talking about their fingernails, hairdos, and men with big words.
Naggy, nag, McNag. Thats all the women from Summerlin talk about. Really annoying voices. Makes me wanna choke the shit out of em. Is this the tradeoff for meeting women that isn't a whore and comes from a richer part of town?
Oh, and ignore the reviews with low marks on the food and service. I felt that the service is great and not overbearing. The people that wrote them are just bitchy. Probably one of those Food Channel motherfuckers, the ones that think that they are critics.
GREAT food ,Good drinks,Open 24 hours which is great for the late night cravings the only thing is if your in a hurry be sure to place a Togo order because the service there isn't the best of the best but perfect if you are trying to kill time ! I understand people get busy but iv gone on slow days and the amount of time u wait for your food in quite a bit. Also the prices are a bit high so add a couple of drinks your bill might be quite a number $$$The first time I came here I fell in LOVE with the trail mix salad .. So much I think I was frequenting this place about 3 times a week for it for a while, it's amazing !
Review Source:The Martini has been bookmarked for a while, and I labeled it as, "To Try: Fish & Chips." As tempting as it was to order fish & chips when I visited, I didn't. Resisting the urge to indulge in a basket of deep fried delicacies, I chose the "healthier" route and ordered the Ahi Tuna Sandwich with a side of of house fries instead of the optional sweet potato fries and house salad. The sandwich wasn't bad. It was just an ordinary fish sandwich with greens and cheese. If it wasn't for the wasabi cream, it would've been dull.
The drinks are cheap and range from $8-$14, depending on what you order. My dining companion ordered a martini called "The Hummingbird" for its Elderflower Liqueur. The drink was presented to her in what appeared to be a laboratory beaker. It was a little bubbly, and it had a pleasant and light sweetness.
Our server was excellent. Granted, my friend and I were the only two people in their dining room, but she came by often to see how we were doing. She even encouraged us to return the following day to checkout a few Chippendales dancers who were going to be serving drinks to ladies. Not really my cup of Ovaltine, but that was nice of her to inform us.
The Martini is a fine neighborhood bar with fantastic service and decent food. I'll have to return when I feel like clogging my arteries with their fish & chips.
I stopped into this place recently after picking up a friend late from the airport for a snack and a little gaming and was pleasantly surprised. Â I really want to begin with the great service from when you first sit down and throughout your stay, as this is a pub that likes to get to know its patrons. Â My buddy and I both have burgers with fries and were satisfied with it being a burger big enough to need to be cut in half yet still tasty with options like wheat bun, avocado, multiple kinds of cheeses and even sweet potato fries. Â
If you're looking for upscale bar food in a 24/7 setting that is great with amazing service then I recommend you stop in for a snack and drink.
Nicer than your average PT's as far as ambiance is concerned, it's about the same as a Sierra Gold. Friendly, but aloof service, the waitress seemed to disappear for long periods of time . Good happy hour menu. I bought a regular martini here and it was pretty good and well executed, which I am glad for because it would kind of suck if their martini's were bad. This place had a pretty chill atmosphere.
Review Source:Awesome little location tucked away on the corner of Charleston and Fort Apache.
Interior is nice and loungie with a good number of seats at the bar and comfortable couches and tables. Didnt get a chance to take a look at the dining area but still impressed by what i saw.
The night we went the special of the day was a caramel apple-tini for five dollars. The cocktail was nicely balanced but lacked a noticeable caramel flavor. It was still smooth and well worth the price.
Since it was my first time here and it wasnt happy hour and we just came from a meal the drinks were what we were there for and we werent disappointed.
Overall this is a nice little quiet classy spot away from the fast paced hustle of faster and more overly populated places in Vegas.
I've been here a handful of times over the years for a cocktail, and the place is definitely ahead of the curve. Â Good atmosphere, decent clientele, helpful staff. Â I finally came here tonight for the late night happy hour, which runs from 12am-4am. Â My buddy and I had:
flautas - $6, recommended by our bartender but was a bit underwhelming
sloppy joes sliders - $6, the most tasty app we got, A+
mac & cheese balls - $5, a bit disappointing, could use some more flavor
buffalo wings - $5, good flavor, meaty wings, good stuff
Overall a pretty decent meal for the price. Â They have $3 beers, too, but we were gambling so we didn't have to worry about that. Â I just wish this place was a little bit closer to my house. Â Then it'd likely be 5 stars.
I come to The Martini a lot and I am never disappointed. Â Never.
The drinks are on point, and of extremely high quality. Â The bartenders are awesome, they seem to be able to read their customers very well. Â Sometimes I go in to just hang out to be one with my thoughts and they let me be, but if I'm in a talkative mood they read my mood and are there to shoot the breeze. Â
The martini's here are the best that I've ever had. Â My personal favorite is named the Vespar; made with Boodles Gin, Grey Goose, and Lillet Blanc. Â They also make a S'mores martini that's insanely delicious, if you have a sweet tooth. Â The Martini serves quality drinks that take craftsmanship, not like the junk at Blue Martini that just get the job done, which I'm not hating on because sometimes you just need a drink that gets the job done.
The food here is unreal. Â I've tried pretty much everything on the menu. Â My favorite is the Chicken Scaloppini which is served with seasonal vegetables and risotto that's unbelievably good. Â I also recommend the Fish & Chips which is more than just fish and fries. Â It comes with beer battered zucchini and shrimp as well. Â I don't recall the prices of these dishes, but they're very reasonably priced and comes with a lot of food. Â
The quality of food for the price is second to none. Â The drinks are great and also reasonably priced. Â The atmosphere is way better than any other neighborhood gaming bar that I've been to . Â Also, everything on the food menu is served 24 hours a day.
A local neighborhood bar/restaurant/video poker establishment. I arrived early in the morning after going to the gym. To my surprise, there were still several patrons in the restaurant. Overall, the interior was clean, a lot of wood, and a large bar with inset video poker machines.
The bartender was friendly and attentive, not sure how much the time of day had to do with that. He briefly explained the regular and happy hour menu. I ordered a chopped apple salad and a pizza margherita. I really enjoyed the salad, a mix of sweet, salty, and a bit of tart. It could have done with a bit less dressing though. The pizza was a big dissappointment, bad crust and cheese, very little basil.
The two biggest positives of this restaurant are its hours of operation and its location! Average to above average food, a late night happy hour, decent service the hours I normally frequent, I am definitely a fan!
One of my friends gave us a nice two-person meal voucher for this place, and it was a wonderful experience.
It was a full meal with wine included, and I went on this full Kobe beef kick for my meal selection. Â Wat that meant was Kobe beef sliders (so ridiculously good), and spaghetti with Kobe meatballs. Â Everything was excellent, and between the Kobe taste explosion, and the accompanying salad, I was very much in a "comfortable" place. Â The Pinot Noir that went with the meal only added to that particular zone.
I might have passed on dessert, but it was included in the package, and let me tell you: I'm glad I didn't pass. Â I tried the "Nutter Fluffer": This peanut butter concoction with a batter fried shell, and marshmallow and chocolate dipping sauces.
Wow.
Talk about amazing. Â It was ridiculously good, and I still periodically think about this dessert, which is unusual for me. Â But if you eat here, this is the dessert choice to get.
Service was excellent. Â Always there to make suggestions, check on the meal and anything that was needed, yet was totally unobtrusive. Â This was coupled with this wonderful, intimate dining atmosphere that was just the perfect setting for a "date night". Â The place just had a really cool vibe to it, which made for an excellent evening out.
I can see myself going back again, and hopefully soon. Â I left feeling pleased (and very full) from the experience, and it's one that I will look forward to recreating.
Definitely worth a visit, if anything, for that amazing dessert.
The martini is a swank "gentleman's" type of bar. Â Lots of dark wood, leather, martinis and so on. Â There are endless seating options with cozy tables by the fireplace, a huge bar with stools for gamers and non-gamers, and a separate dining area for a more intimate dining experience. Â
If you want some real, tasty food in the late night hours, this is a winning spot. Â I've sampled such items as the fish and chips, crab cakes, and chicken with risotto and been pleased with them all. Â The menu is several notches above your average bar menu with treasures like shrimp scampi, mushroom flatbread, tomato bisque and salmon. Â The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly and came with a delightful risotto and pleasantly crunchy vegetables such as zucchini and yellow squash. Â The fish and chips really consists of 2 pieces of fish, 2 fried zucchini spears, 3 fried shrimp and a large portion of fries! Â All of the items were cooked nicely in a flaky and crispy batter. Â
The isn't a separate late night menu with limited options...you get the whole menu to choose from. Nice!
Prices are fair and the pour seems more than adequate!
On my three visits, I've received very personal and welcoming service with a greeting from the owner each time. Â It is a classy neighborhood spot where you would feel welcome and leave satiated.
Initially, I wanted to give this restaurant 2 or 3 stars because we waited for the hostess way too long to be seated. There should be a someone up front all the time but I guess it's a little harder when the restaurant is open 24/7.
However, she finally came so it was fine after that.
I bought the Travelzoo deal. This was a four course meal with a choice of white or red wine.
I had ahi tuna chips, ceasar salad, rosemary salmon, and fried oreos with ice cream.
Service was on point and food was delicious. Location is nice, it's near boca park in Summerlin.
Martini's was closed for a long time. Â Not sure if it was because of the recession or some internal issue. Â But it had been reopened for at least a month when I checked it out after a late night out. Â Was told it is under new management.
I only ate there once before the closing and was not impressed. Â I ate there last night and loved it. Â Whatever the new owners have done is working (except my Arnold Palmer which was way too sweet. Â They must have terrible lemonade).
1) Martini Sliders - some of the best sliders I've ever had. Â High quality bun, a little blue cheese and caramelized onion, and thousand island dressing on the plate so you can put as much as you desire. Â Meat was juicy with a nice seared crust on it. Â Had that little bit of crispiness I like on a burger. Â They seared it like a steak which is how it should be done. Â Really just great.
2) Chicken wings - served nice and crispy with either ranch or blue cheese dressing. Â I got it mild so it was a bit bland. Â Next time I'll get it hot. Â But it was really well cooked. Â Chicken was moist inside and the outside was nice and crispy. Â
They have the standard happy house menu late at night. Â Great prices, great quality, great location, great atmosphere, and great service.
Well done Martini.
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!
