Mediterranean fusion food, live music, and rooftop bar
"This two-story Greek restaurant behind the Arts Factory looks out over the First Friday Festival footprint and features the works of local artists inside. Its eclectic dinner options span meatballs, to gyros, to nachos. But it’s brunch that you don’t want to miss. Find French toast, chocolate churro waffles, and croissant BLTs." - Janna Karel
"Taverna Costera in the Arts District serves Mediterranean fusion food in the First Friday Las Vegas footprint. The rooftop bar and event space features live music and overlooks First Friday and the string lights over Main Street." - Janna Karel
"Opened last year by restaurateur Jeff Hwang, this multi-use venue combines a restaurant, coffee shop, bar, and music space; it is intended to serve as a development anchor for the quieter northern end of the Arts District and help catalyze further neighborhood growth." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"I found Greek fare on the rooftop patio at Taverna Costera, which also connects to a courtyard patio in the Arts District." - Susan Stapleton
"A Coastal Mediterranean fusion restaurant overseen by chef Ray Samlow, planned as the dining centerpiece of the 1st & Main mixed-use complex. Developed by local entrepreneur Jeff Hwang, the project pressed forward despite beginning construction during the 2020 pandemic and aims to be fully operational by early May, with the rooftop and courtyard patio intended to host special occasions like Mother’s Day brunch. The two-story, 4,124-square-foot space features dramatic 16-foot ceilings and 14-foot windows, seating that includes a nine-seat bar and room for about 42 guests inside, and a menu drawing on coastal French, Italian, Spanish, and Greek influences. Future additions being considered include a rooftop bar and a small stage for live entertainment." - Bradley Martin
