Food is one of life's simple pleasures and Laguna Pool House & Kitchen has an amazing knack for pleasing palates. You'll find them in Palms Place located near West Garage. There's an escalator leading to Skytube walkway, and an elevator will take you up to the 6th floor. Self-parking garage is FREE at Palms Casino Resort.
Soft opening was on March 31st, and the grand opening was on April 30, 2023. On day of the final hockey game, there weren't a lot of people dining at the restaurant. Interior is very pretty and spacious with cozy seating. They have a nice bar with TV and an intimate lounge.
Menu offers an enticing selection of starters for shareable, salads, pasta, fish, chicken, pork chop, short rib, steak, and pizza. They have signature cocktails and wine by the glass, as well as desserts and side dish. I love the creamy Mashed Potatoes ($9) with yummy garlic butter, it's very good! And the Crisp Brussels Sprouts ($11) with sage leaves, parmigiano cheese, and aged balsamic is tasty.
A terrific starter would be Marcona Almond Hummus ($18) which is superb and delicious! It's roasted almond and chickpea hummus with baby heirloom carrots, tomatoes, persian cucumber, and piquillo pepper, served with grilled naan, EVOO, and zaatar. The entrees all look good and I went straight for dessert. They have cheesecake, tartlette, creme brulee, soft serve and fried ice cream. Best dessert is the Warm Cast Iron Skillet Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie ($11) with coffee ice cream and salted caramel, super yum and not too sweet!
Definitely a hidden gem. Service from Lilia, Marah, and Davion was excellent and remarkable! They were personable, attentive, efficient, and polite. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, and the overall vibe makes it a happy dining experience. Swimming pool is complimentary and FREE for locals on Monday through Friday from 10am to 8pm. On Fridays, they have an old school DJ playing live music for Sushi and Karaoke night. Brunch is every Sunday from 9am to 3pm, offering four different brunch menus, and French toast is an item that's highly recommended.
