Sivas Vegas Mediterranean Grill & Lounge — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Sivas is the best it has ever been. The staff + management take into consideration your entire experience.

Antoinette, Diana, and JoJo were great.  One of the owners, Seyf, is a wonderful dude. He will make sure your night goes beyond your expectations. The DJs do a fantastic job curating.  With one security professional, he does better than a team of them at businesses. Even for a conversation and make sure the staff takes care of you.

My experiences the past few years have never been stellar, and though the reviews change, the past few weeks have been pleasant. 750+ visits. Spending anywhere from $100-$300 a night.

The volume is decent here. Some places run too loud + damage your hearing, but you can comfortably enjoy music here with or without live music. It's difficult to find R&B + Hip-Hop venues that aren't so hood or bougie. There is no middle ground. This has the perfect setting. They do play explicit versions. It'll vary genres depending on the day ± time, the reggae, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, + the like are common.

The crowd control is on point. Never too packed or empty. It's a decent chill vibe but a party atmosphere.

I've had every dish at least twice with some newly added or taken away. I do have favorites that I frequent. I myself am a fast and voracious eater. Always in a rush, but the food here is so aromatic, fresh, ± piping hot. You wanna eat it slow + savor it. The quality is even better than the competitors or fine dining restaurants.

They have a great selection of beverages. I have tried each at least once. Standard. My only complaints are that the glassware can be in better shape or washed better. The ice isn't the clearest. For the prices you pay, you'd figure crystal clear high-quality ice. Your best bet is to go to a neighboring casino, play, and get the same drink comped with better rocks. They need to clean their ice machine or change a filter.

I'll try to throw $20s to the staff either way, but the ventilation here is poor.  I like hookah, but not breathing in everyones bad breath.  Sometimes, you can smell poor hygiene in the air. They do have great quality hookahs, flavors, + coals, but the ventilation is poor.

The environment without the cons does look kinda cool.  Photos op spot for groups + ladies at the entrance. Dim, romantic lighting. The only issue is the parking lot. There is a neighboring, rarchet business that draws a bad crowd. If you forgive that, the rest of this visit, whether you're inside, outside, solo, or with a party, can be enjoyable.

If you're a sports fan, there aren't many tvs to watch. For Vegas workers or born, raised folks that visit all nightlife properties, you may want to find another spot. No gaming.

If you're a dancer, the dance floor is there, but when it's busy like it usually is late at night, it just won't happen.  Too little space.  Your best bet is to get a table/booth to do your thing there.  Otherwise, get bumped + humped nonstop at the bar or close to the DJ booth.

The highlight really is the drink selection and food quality.

Moderation here is key. If they can just balance out things and find a rhythm, this place could be classier + be much more comfortable.  There is no point in paying lounge, club, strip, resort prices if it feels like a dingy, drug fueled hangout where I keep running over glass bottles and vapes in the parking lot every night.  I'll update the review periodically. It's not entirely their fault.  Sometimes, it's the riff raff coming from 3 neighboring lounges, and staff can't keep up.  So they cater to larger groups.  If you're solo, you're on the back burner and don't get the best service.  Late night contributes to the food quality and efficiency of the staff.  Wrapping up to close and poor guests treating them badly, etc.

They want to do a great job + take reviews seriously. Whether you voice your opinion or concerns in person or online, they will recitfy that. That's my favorite quality here. They strive for...

If you follow me you know I like to leave very detailed and lengthy reviews for those that really like to indulge in the pros and cons of said businesses from an authentic perspective.

Starting with the pros of this company, it is an off-the-strip upscale hookah lounge. If you’re looking a relaxing environment with a DJ that plays crowd favorite music then this is your place for just that! Dim lighting to really set the mood and great wine & beer prices.

Speaking of prices I must mention a Con. For it being off the strip this place is considered pricy! Especially with it being literally right next door to another hookah lounge with way better prices on food and hookah!

Quick side story, I came in Sivas on a Wednesday at 8:30pm and ordered a Hookah and some drinks for around $60. I was then approached, at 9pm, by my server by the name of Diana and was told that the happy hour had started and without prior knowledge of knowing, my hookah would have been $20 had I just waited until 9pm! Please read the menu carefully! It took me quite the hassle to get my half off on the hookah. (Had I previously known I would’ve just waited the 30 minutes) nonetheless I spoke with the manager and got the price knocked down so I could spend that $20 on more products! - See attached photos!

Another Pro is that they do offer inside seating as well as outside patio seating! I’ve yet to try the seating outside but the inside is very comfortable, with multiple surrounding TVs that can host the playoff games when available! (Fellas) They have a bar where you can sit if you don’t want the restaurant seating , outside patio seating , and Great Happy Hour Prices!

Aside from the regular pricing (which is understandable because businesses have to eat too) and the lack of educating the guest on happy hour times (which can be resolved by simply taking more time to view the menu) this place is a great date night venue! I’m going to give it a 4/5 because I’d like to see the price of chicken wings drop a bit. $2.83 per chicken wing in my opinion is outrageous lol there are other options within walking distance, so if the price is the only thing to deter you, you can take your business elsewhere. All in all I’d recommend this place to all that are looking to come in the city and vibe out for a night. Cheaper than the strip, more expensive than your regular local spots. You decide and let me know your...

So when we entered the place was pretty dead and had a strong smell, which I guess is to be expected because it’s a hookah bar. I purchased a $100 Groupon for this place and told the waitress as soon as we arrived. First thing we found out is they don’t offer you water and tried to bring us Fiji and charge $5 per bottle. My grandma ordered a soda and then we quickly found out there weren’t free refills either. The food itself was very good. We ordered the calamari, filet mignon and mixed grill. However, the service was really slow and waitress didn’t really check on us even though they weren’t busy. At the end of the meal I reminded them of my Groupon and when they went to take it off they only tried to remove the $69 I paid for the Groupon (face value), instead of the full $100 value of the Groupon. I quickly informed them that isn’t how Groupon works and the waitress told me it’s the owners decision and they have this issue a lot. I then told her that they shouldn’t be on Groupon if they aren’t going to honor how it works. So she called the owner and then told me, “you are in luck because the owner is in a good mood” and then ended up taking off the $100 as they were supposed to. They then ended up incorrectly charging my credit card, having to void it out and do it again. We were also charged a 18% gratuity by default, which I certainly wouldn’t have minded if we actually got good service and not all this nonsense we had to deal with. Word of advice is if you don’t understand how Groupon works, don’t sign your business up for it. What should have been a nice night out turned into a big annoyance. Won’t be returning...
