Edo Gastro Tapas & Wine Las Vegas, NV 89146

"Good tapas but not amazing. No wow factor but it was not disappointing either. Service was good and attentive. Good about refilling water and waiter was friendly. Only thing was I wish my main dish was served hot and not like it’s been sitting waiting to be served. And my dessert was weird where it was not cold for a granita and the popcorn mousse was ambient temp and texture was too dense."

"Any future plans to visit vegas will certainly include a reservation to Edo from now on. We felt so special and pampered here:) it was our anniversary and they gave us champagne to celebrate and special dessert. Every course was amazing, (we had the tasting menu) highly recommend jammon add on. We felt very full by the end and I mean properly stuffed like after thanksgiving dinner. The food was special too, I dont think i could get it anywhere else."

"Had a reservation here with a friend for his 50th birthday. He ended up in the urgent care and unable tomake it, so I dined solo. The restaurant has an intimate vibe, with no more than 20 tables. It's decorated in a way that's welcoming and sheer but not pretentious. At the far end there is a small bar cart with a bartender making cocktails right in front of everybody. The wait staff were attentive and quick. Once I figured out what I wanted to order, which took awhile, I was brought an amuse-bouche which was a watermelon shooter of sorts. After that the food started coming. To start I ordered the oysters which had a pico and were served with some yuzu sauce. The oysters were light and refreshing and a nice medley of asian and Spanish flavors. Second up was the octopus served with potato espuma. The octopus was perfectly cooked, and the potatoes a unique take, they were light and airy and reminiscent of what would normally be a heavier dish, but not my favorite. The best thing about this was definitely the sherry vinegar sauce, I wish I had more of it. The next dish up was then Txangurro, which was a crab sofrito with the same potato espuma as the pulp dish. I have to say, I hated this dish. It was bland and a mix of flavors with nothing really being notable or defined. The texture killed me too, just a mushy mess of a dish served in a martini glass. Nice presentation, but I ended up being done after 1 bite. It made me regret making that one of the dishes I ordered, but more on that later. The squash blossoms were up next, and these blew me out of the water. They were just perfect. The tempura was light and flaky and crisp, and the mix of the ragu, parm espuma, and tomato vinaigrette was out of this world. The ragu was deep and robust and homey, with just the right amount of salt from the airy parm espuma, which was all rounded out by the vinaigrette. This dish alone reinstalled my confidence in this place so much that I decided to go ahead and order more dishes to try. I think at this point the chef saw my tickets and decided to send out a pisto croquetta that made me believe there would be no need to ever have one with meat or fish ever again. The last hot dish for me was one I hadn't even noticed before, the lamb sausage. It intrigued me off the bat as it reminded me of a Lebanese style sausage, served with cucumber mint yogurt that cut thru the rich and fatty sausage. The persimmons were a lovely compliment. I'm normally better with words in reviews, but am a little scatter brained at the moment. There is nothing more to say about this plate, except that it was the 2nd star of the show. When I come back, it's just gonna be this and the squash blossoms right away. Who could leave a place of this caliber without trying some dessert. I got the flan to go for my friends birthday, and the panna cotta was brought out on the house. Both were excellent. The olive oil served with the panna cotta was different for me, but let me tell you, that pairing was unexpectedly decadent. The olive oil they used is hands down, some of the best I have tasted in a long time. The custard a delicate texture which melted in your mouth. You can't enjoy a meal like that without perusing the wine and cocktail list. I started with an albarino which I always enjoy. It's a nice fun bright white wine with a good amount of minerality and acidity. Next up was the Junquera, which also blew my mind. I am a gin drinker first and foremost, but second up is green chartreuse for me. The combination of both with the vermouth and rosemary was just the kind of herbaceous cocktail that I yearned for. I wish I could have tried more, but I had an early morning ahead of me. Edo was a fantastic find. A small hole in the wall restaurant hitting way above its weight class. The chef and staff there are pushing out some stellar flavor combinations and they have made it onto my Las Vegas Gems list of great eateries for the 55-60 days Im here every year. Nothing but love and respect."

"Very very expensive. But it was delicious. Somehow the tasting menu with some substitutions and drinks ended up being $200 per person. I do appreciate the experience but it's not a hugely filling meal and I do not think it was worth the cost at all."

"Wonderful tapas dinner. But make sure you’re ready to eat. The portions are definitely more generous than what you’d get in Spain but just as tasty if not more so. All the dishes were very inventive and interesting. Lots of molecular gastronomy techniques used. The presentation and explanation of each dish was superb. We didn’t opt for the wine paring but the bottle of wine we chose went well with everything. Would go again and fast beforehand."
