Restaurants
From farm-to-table neighborhood bistros and wood-fired steakhouses to authentic street food and late-night sushi — Summerlin's dining scene is as diverse as the community itself. Here are the spots worth your time.
Honey Salt
A beloved farm-to-table bistro from renowned restaurateur Elizabeth Blau and Chef Kim Canteenwalla, Honey Salt has been a Summerlin staple since 2012. The menu changes with the seasons, sourcing from local farms and producers.
This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that makes Summerlin feel like a real community — every dish is crafted with intention, and the patio is perfect for a relaxed evening out.
Echo & Rig Butcher and Steakhouse
A hybrid steakhouse and butcher shop at Tivoli Village, Echo & Rig serves wood-fired steaks, prime cuts, and an impressive wine list in a refined yet approachable setting.
The butcher-shop concept means you're getting some of the best cuts in the valley, and the open kitchen gives the space an energy you don't always find in a steakhouse.
La Strega
Helmed by James Beard-nominated Chef Gina Marinelli, La Strega ('The Witch' in Italian) serves contemporary, seasonal Italian cuisine with house-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and handcrafted antipasti.
Chef Marinelli brings a bold, creative energy to Summerlin's dining scene. The wild boar rigatoni and lobster pasta are worth the trip alone.
Al Solito Posto
A polished Italian restaurant paying homage to red-sauce classics with a modern touch. House-made pasta, wagyu carpaccio, truffle dishes, and pizzas with a perfectly bubbly crust.
It's the kind of place where you can get a perfect vodka rigatoni and feel like you've stepped into a neighborhood trattoria — elevated without being stuffy.
Makers & Finders
A vibrant Latin-inspired coffee bar and restaurant serving empanadas, chilaquiles, yuca fries, and brunch favorites in a bright space filled with local art and affirmations.
This is the heartbeat of Downtown Summerlin's morning scene — great coffee, bold Latin flavors, and an energy that makes you want to linger over brunch.
JING
An upscale Asian fusion restaurant that blends fresh sushi, hand-cut prime steaks, and globally inspired dishes in a high-energy, lounge-style atmosphere.
The sushi and steak combo is rare to find done this well, and the happy hour (daily 4–6 PM) is a local favorite for a reason.
Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar
A lodge-chic American restaurant serving handcrafted comfort food with a seasonal twist. Think BBQ bison meatloaf, pot roast, craft cocktails, and a dog-friendly patio that's always buzzing.
It's the perfect spot for a no-fuss family dinner or a casual catch-up with friends — the patio is spacious, the menu has something for everyone, and the vibe is genuinely welcoming.
Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar
Recently reopened after a complete redesign, Hearthstone serves chef-driven American fare including wood-fired pizzas, charcuterie, and inventive small plates inside Red Rock Resort.
The $1 oyster Wednesday is a Summerlin institution, and the newly redesigned dining room makes for a great date night or celebratory dinner.
Serrano's Mexican Restaurant
A family-owned gem serving authentic Mexican street food — burritos, tacos, sopes, chimichangas, and breakfast all day. Nearly 500 reviews and a 4.7-star rating speak for themselves.
This is the real deal — family-run, bold flavors, fair prices, and the kind of carne asada taco that reminds you why you love Mexican food. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
Grape Street Wine Bar
A sophisticated wine bar offering an extensive list of wines by the glass, paired with a menu of charcuterie, small plates, and shareable dishes in a warm, contemporary setting.
Perfect for a relaxed evening out — the wine selection is thoughtful, the atmosphere is refined but never pretentious, and the outdoor patio is one of the best people-watching spots in Downtown Summerlin.
Taj Palace Summerlin
A well-regarded Indian restaurant serving traditional North Indian cuisine with a full halal menu. Curries, tandoori specialties, biryanis, and breads made fresh daily.
When you're craving deep, aromatic flavors, Taj Palace delivers. The lunch buffet is a fantastic way to sample a range of dishes, and the service is consistently warm.
Mora Iced Creamery
A local favorite scoop shop in Downtown Summerlin, serving small-batch, artisanal ice cream in creative flavors made from premium ingredients.
The perfect sweet finish to a Downtown Summerlin evening — the flavors rotate seasonally, and the salted caramel is absolutely unforgettable.
