A cozy hideaway in Henderson, 138° serves up inventive, globally inspired dishes in a chic space featuring dry-aged steak displays and a vibrant lounge.
"138° in Henderson was a prime example of something done well." - Janna Karel
"A participating venue in the Vegas UnStripped event, represented by chef Matt Meyer." - Janna Karel
"That 138° is Meyer’s evolution of his breakfast and lunch spot, Served, and its more ambitious successor, Served Global Dining, is obvious from the moment customers walk in the door at 1450 West Horizon Ridge Parkway (the former location of Served Global, at the intersection with Stephanie Street). The first thing to catch the eye is the array of meat — plus fish and duck — displayed in glass-fronted dry-aging coolers. Straight ahead is an intimate lounge." - Heidi Knapp Rinella
"The Henderson chophouse, 138°, opens on October 15, in the space of his previous spot, Served Global Dining. The new restaurant centers on Meyers’ dry-aged program, in which proteins spanning beef, chicken, pork, and fish are dry-aged in-house. Meyers explains that the process removes moisture, condensing flavor, and allowing bacteria and enzymes to create different flavors such as nutty, truffle, blue cheese, and buttery popcorn. The beef is sourced from Nevada ranches and other local producers and finished on a woodfire grill. The menu features dishes like shrimp and Anson Mills grits, chilled lobster borscht, seed-crusted lamb loin, house burger with brie cheese, and vegan options. The restaurant design includes a center fire pit lounge, a grand piano, a dry-aging display, and a climate-controlled portico for year-round outdoor dining. 138° will be open daily from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with brunch service starting October 22 and weekday lunch to be announced." - Janna Karel
"Chef and owner Matthew Meyer is readying to launch his new restaurant 138° in the space of his previous Henderson spot, Served Global Dining. Meyer, a punk rock enthusiast, says the name comes from the temperature at which a steak is finished and from the song “We are 138,” by the Misfits. The shuttered Served offered a broad menu that spanned several types of cuisine, including Jewish matzoh brie, El Salvadorian pupusas, Korean bibimbap, and Peruvian Lomo Saltado. Meyer says 138 offers him the opportunity to zero in on one specialty. “We wanted to be more focused and work with the quality of proteins we wanted to work with,” says Meyer, who is currently touring farms in California. “It felt like time for a fresh start.” Meyer describes dry-aging as a controlled rot and fermentation of the meat. “All the moisture leaves the protein, condensing the flavor. Over time, bacteria and enzymes in the meat break down and you get different flavors that can be nutty, or like truffle, blue cheese, and buttery popcorn.” Dishes served in the 5,200-square-foot restaurant will include shrimp and grits with marcona almonds and fennel butter, chilled lobster borscht with roasted beets, a seed-crusted lamb chop with risotto, and a ground burger with a house-made A1 sauce. The restaurant design will feature a center fire pit lounge, a grand piano for entertaining, and a dry aging display. Meyer expects to open 138 on September 25." - Janna Karel
