Cornish Pasty Co — Restaurant in Boulder City

Love the area and the atmosphere there. The service was attentive and helpful with the menu. They have a little area with a pool table up the stairs, towards the bathroom that you can't see from below but its a cool area. I thought drinks were a bit pricey. The menu was pretty big but mostly centers around pasties. It's like a Stromboli but instead of bread like, it's pastry. It didn't have much flavor on its own imo but they offer lots of fillings to offset the blandness of the pastry.

I had the Cubano and I didn't really care for it. My daughter had the cajun chicken and said it was very good. I would go back to try another flavor. It doesn't come with anything so we ordered garlic fries on the side which were very good. The highlight of our meal was actually the soup! I had cream of leek, potato, and stilten. It was delicious! A little too thick for most but I like it like that. My daughter had the spicy red pepper chicken with black beans and rice. She said it was more like chili than soup but it was good. The soup was served with thick sliced, warm fresh bread and butter. Delicious!! I would definitely go back just for that.

Update: Went back for the cream of leek soup again and that did not disappoint. On the other hand, I ordered dessert this time and it was disappointing. I ordered the sticky toffee pudding. It was small and difficult to eat in the cast iron vessel it came in. I wanted to add the ice cream to the top as it is usually served that way, but couldn't because there was no room. The sides and bottom were charred and left a burnt taste in my mouth. I let my server know but she didn't say anything other than "people have different tastes". Maybe they should try a different vessel or turn it out in a bowl with the ice cream on top to prevent it from burning. The cake itself in the middle wasn't bad but the aftertaste from the burnt sides and bottom weren't pleasant. I also think the dessert is way over priced for what you get. Hells Kitchen serves the same dessert twice the size and that's a high end, Strip, reputable chefs restaurant, for just a couple dollars more....

As a professional travel blogger who has dined at hundreds of restaurants worldwide, I was excited to visit the Cornish Pasty Co in Boulder City, Nevada. This visit marked my first experience with this chain, despite its presence in my hometown of Phoenix. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to my expectations.

The highlight of the restaurant is undoubtedly its venue. The decor and atmosphere are fantastic, creating a unique and inviting environment that initially raised my hopes for a delightful dining experience.

However, the food and service were quite disappointing. The main issue with the food was the quality of the meats. They were tough and lacked flavor, which was surprising for a restaurant specializing in pasties. This was a letdown, especially considering the variety of choices available.

Service was another major issue. Our visit was marred by notably slow service. Despite being seated before a large party of 12, they managed to place their order before us, leading to an extended wait time for our food. It seemed as though our server was not attentive to the order in which customers arrived, which impacted our overall dining experience.

Additionally, the restaurant was out of a couple of beer options we were eager to try. This, coupled with the other issues, added to our disappointment.

On the pricing front, I believe the costs are a bit steep considering the quality and type of food served. In a market with diverse dining options, pricing should reflect the quality and experience, which, in this case, it did not.

Overall, my first impression of the Cornish Pasty Co in Boulder City was underwhelming. While the ambiance is a strong point, the food quality, service, and pricing need significant improvement to meet the expectations set by such a charming setting. BTW, my girlfriend, who is English and with me on this visit, agreed with my assessment of...

The place has gender neutral bathrooms, interesting decor, and has some historic pictures. They serve plenty of beer n some alcoholic beverages. The servers are nice when you get a chance to actually interact with them. The place was moderately clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. I enjoyed the menu items and thought the diversity was nice. I asked for a highchair and they said ok, but they never brought it They didn't have some of the things available on the menu because they said they were out. I ordered water, the meatball pasty, the Cuban pasty, the carne adobo pasty, and the cheese fries, and the mushroom soup. There was only one round of refills for the water and the order took a while to fulfill. The soup came out first with huge slices of bread. The soup had flavor and I'd give it a 7/10. The bread was delicious and asked for more. That took another 30 min to get. The fries took 45 min to come out and we're burned. By then the waters were gone. We had to flag down one of the 2 people out front to see about the water. It took an hour for the rest to come out. The meatballs in the meatball pasty were dry, the pastry dough was hard and crunchy, the cheese inside the Cubano was burned and slim to none, and the asada pasty was decent though the pastry was hard and crunchy. The flavors were there but by then any food was better then none. Overall the visit was ok. Great idea, great flavors, horrible service, and horrible timing. Maybe it would've been better if there was attentive service, maybe they need more people out front. Either way I'd think long and hard about...
