Seafood Restaurant Herringbone Closes at Aria and a Replacement Arrives This Weekend

Say so long to Herringbone. The restaurant from Top Chef alum Brian Malarkey that opened in 2015 departs Aria and a replacement takes over on February 1.

Salt & Ivy Café and Patio Bar brings a menu of California coastal-inspired dishes and specialty cocktails, along with breakfast options such as a chicken and waffle, orange and cranberry parfait, and Dutch pancake served in a cast iron skillet with blueberries and lemon curd, Serrano ham and Mahon cheese with sunny-side-up eggs, or sunny-side up eggs and buffalo mozzarella.

The all-day restaurant features crispy Baja fish tacos, a rice noodle salad, and a shaved prime rib sandwich for lunch. For dinner, the menu includes oysters on the half shell, lobster putanesca, and a Colorado lamb chop.

The outdoor patio from Herringbone remains with its own bar, and the indoor bar greets diners as they walk in. Both bars feature bottomless Bellinis, mimosas, and bloody Marys for breakfast, as well as the Banana Smash with Ambros Banana Whiskey, lemon, ginger, and rosemary and Kiss My Bubbles with Absolut Elyx Vodka, aloe vera, elderflower, strawberry, lime, simple syrup, and Prosecco for lunch and dinner.

San Diego-based Malarkey ended his involvement with Searsucker at Caesars Palace and Herringbone in 2018. In 2014, Malarkey sold his majority stake in the restaurants to global restaurant and nightlife group Hakkasan Ltd.

Salt & Ivy, Aria, 3730 Las Vegas Boulevard S., 702-590-9899. Open daily for breakfast from 6 to 11 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., small bites from 3 to 5:30 p.m., and dinner from 5:30 to 10 p.m.
