Taverna Costera

I originally found this place when I went to a nighttime event on their rooftop. I ate food but figured it was good because I was tipsy. I had to return when I was sober and now I go at least twice a month for lunch. They’re a lively corner spot in the Art’s District, ample free parking, always popping, dining area that’s family friendly- indoor and outdoor. Bar seating, booth, or table seating available. Bathrooms are actual closed door stalls with a shared sink area. Wall decor appears to change depending on local artist features. Service at bar or table, indoor or outdoor, is always top notch. They are very attentive, friendly, give you the “I wanna get to know you” vibe…iykyk that’s why I go back! My personal favorite is the Cesar salad with steak! So mouthwatering and full of flavor. Most of the food appears to be Polynesian infused…they have tapas to full dishes…omnivores to carnivores. Everyone with any palette was included in this menu. They also have a full bar, lots of good non-alcoholic drinks too.

If you're seeking an extraordinary culinary experience accompanied by an inviting atmosphere, stunning artwork, and a friendly team, look no further than this establishment. Its seamless integration with a delightful coffee shop and the addition of live performances in their restaurant elevate the overall experience. Furthermore, the presence of an outdoor fireplace adds a touch of cozy charm. For those with dietary preferences, rest assured that they offer delectable vegan options.

I went to TC with friends at the start of Second Friday (rain delayed from first Friday this month). I'd been in before for a Meetup event which TC caters a buffet for but not for a proper meal. Our service was excellent both from the bar tender who plied us with tasty happy hour margaritas, and from Michael our waiter. We got large a variety of dishes including sharing plates and entrees from their diverse menu. Michael explained that changing chefs over the years has taken them through Mediterranean, Asian, and Hawaiian influences. All are now represented on the menu so a good variety for you to try. Everyone in our party was happy and with their food and beverages and all enjoyed the experience. With beverages and tip our check came to $50 each. It's a casual and friendly spot to hang for anything from a drink, a coffee, tapas, to a full meal. They also have a weekend brunch menu. We'll definitely be returning. The photo is of a new Finish beverage which was suggested to me with grapefruit, soda, and gin. I enjoyed it a lot.

*Must Read!* My new favorite restaurant in Las Vegas! Absolutely incredible. The food was amazing, but not just that, but the art and music too! I could never be able to say how much I appreciate good service, a delicious meal, and at a surprisingly super affordable price. The band, J and J, was amazing, and the staff was super attentive to our needs. Seriously a 10/10

What a great experience!!! Chris their new Chef has made some great changes and innovative changes to the menu!!! When you read reviews of restaurants, it is almost understandable to think ‘what does this guy / gal know about food? ‘ I have worked in the restaurant industry for more than 30 years and the food here was beyond delicious - the blend of flavors from spice with acidity, to a blend of ‘a little of Hawaii’ to Las Vegas as my wife described it was unbelievable! I have opened restaurants as a corporate chef and created menus from a blank piece of paper and Chris has done an amazing job here! It is a must check it out for dinner with friends and have a libation with it! I suggest the Tapas items and share with your fiends and experience the menu that way if it is your first time to the restaurant. Everyone there was super friendly and accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about the business! This is a must visit if you categorize or describe yourself as a ‘foodie’ Great job Chris and many more successful days weeks and months of creativity and creating raving fans of the restaurant!
