Even though it was located in a fancy casino resort in Summerlin, Hearthstone always felt like a cozy neighborhood restaurant—almost like dining at an old friend’s house.
After almost a decade serving friends and families at Red Rock Resort, it closed in 2023 to make way for something new. But now it’s back again, in the same space, and the neighborhood couldn’t wait to return.
“We knew we were going to be busy, but ... I’ve been doing this for 22 years and I’ve never really seen anything like this kind of sustained volume and interest right out of the gate,” says executive chef Jason Janson. “It’s great to have people who are excited, to have that built-in following already.”
Hearthstone
Created and operated by Clique Hospitality, Hearthstone has been resurrected with a heavy dose of familiarity, but also splashed with new vibes and flavors—something new and something old.
The comfortable yet classy dining room has been redesigned by Celano Design Studio Co. with a mixture of homey elements: sandy walls, teal wainscoting, layers of leather, woven fabrics and mismatched chairs. That long, popular bar is back and bigger than ever, and the $1 oyster Wednesdays are coming back, too.
Janson, who has cooked in Las Vegas at acclaimed restaurants from José Andrés and Marc Vetri, says feedback has been overwhelmingly positive on the look and feel of the new Hearthstone, which just opened in late January.
“As far as food, we want to be respectful to nostalgia,” he says. “There are probably four or five things that are direct translations from [the original menu] and another half-dozen things were on that menu but we developed the recipe from scratch.”
So your favorite apple and quinoa salad ($18) and yellowfin tuna pizza ($27) with truffle aioli will be just as you remember. The bacon-wrapped dates ($15) and rustic beef-and-pork meatballs ($18) might be a bit different ... and better than ever.
But don’t get caught up in that nostalgia or you’ll miss out on pizza topped with eight-hour slow-cooked beef short rib ($23) or the ultimate shareable family dinner, the Bucket of Fried Chicken ($48), which comes with buttermilk biscuits, honey butter, coleslaw and a variety of house-made sauces.
“It’s a really cool presentation and it has some scratch-made biscuits I’m very proud of,” says Janson. “That dish is something we really took the time to develop. It was a lot of work.”
