This review comes from early April during one of our many staycation adventures at Crockford's at Resorts World Las Vegas. We kicked off the trip with dinner at Stubborn Seed. We've been fortunate enough to dine here four times since they opened, and somehow it just keeps getting better. On our previous visit, we even had the opportunity to spend some time chatting with Michelin-starred Chef Jeremy Ford, who is one of the most humble, down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. He is a magician when it comes to conjuring up spectacular dishes. We started the evening with champagne before I settled into one of my all-time favorite Scotches, Lagavulin 16. Candice chose the tasting menu while I decided to order à la carte so we could experience a little bit of everything. First dish up was the Cacio e Pepe Cheesy Puffs, which were unbelievably light, airy, cheesy, and absolutely addictive. The butter pickles added just the right amount of salty tang to balance all that rich buttery goodness. Next came the Kalamata Olive Ciabatta with whipped feta, Kalamata dust, and pickled baby radishes. Simple ingredients elevated into something truly memorable. One of my personal favorites followed: the Sake & Citrus Cured Japanese Yellowtail. The combination of textures, acidity, and freshness makes this one of the most beautiful and well-balanced dishes on the menu. I couldn't pass up the Foie Gras & Truffle Tarts. If you know me, you know foie gras is one of my favorite things to eat, and these were every bit as rich and decadent as I hoped. The Harissa Lamb Faggatelli delivered incredible flavor with its combination of tangy ginger, sweet peppers, and perfectly cooked lamb. Then came the Fragrant Spiced Barramundi. While Candice isn't the biggest fan of this dish since she dislikes curry, I absolutely love it. It has just enough spice to keep you coming back for another bite without overpowering the delicate fish. The Smoked Beef Rib arrived next, and honestly...this is a dish you simply cannot skip. Every single bite is packed with smoky, tender perfection. It's one of those dishes that sticks with you long after dinner is over. Then came the Westholme Australian Wagyu Striploin. Perfectly cooked with incredible marbling and textures that remind you why premium Wagyu is so special. Absolutely flawless. To finish the tasting menu, Candice enjoyed the Citrus Pavlova featuring olive oil cake, Yuzu pastry cream, Cara Cara oranges, and caramelized pistachios. The balance between savory, sweet, citrus, and crunch makes it one of our favorite desserts anywhere in Las Vegas. Of course, Stubborn Seed is known for all the little surprises throughout the meal. There were palate cleansers, petits fours, and a gorgeous festive donut that was almost too pretty to eat. I may have accidentally forgotten to take a picture of their incredible peanut butter candy bar, but trust me—it was every bit as amazing as it sounds. Now for an insider tip... If you're coming to Stubborn Seed just for dinner, you don't have to park in the Resorts World self-parking garage. During one of our earlier visits, Josh—one of the managers—shared that guests dining at the restaurant can valet at the Conrad entrance and simply walk directly into the back entrance of Stubborn Seed. It's incredibly convenient and has become our preferred way to visit when we're not staying at Crockfords. The service here has been exceptional every single time we've visited. Between the consistently outstanding hospitality, the way they treat locals, and some of the finest food you'll find anywhere in Las Vegas, Stubborn Seed continues to earn its place among our favorite restaurants. ⭐ Food: 5/5 ⭐ Service: 5/5 ⭐ Atmosphere: 5/5 If I had to rate it on my own scale? 7 out of 5. Yes...it's that good. This isn't one of those places where I say, "We'll definitely be back." We already come back every couple of months...and I have no doubt we'll be sitting at one of these tables again very soon.

If you're looking for one of the best dining experiences in Las Vegas, make a reservation at Stubborn Seed inside Resorts World Las Vegas. I've followed Chef Jeremy Ford's career for many years, making this dinner especially meaningful. Years ago, Jeremy served as Executive Chef at the restaurant at the Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort, where I had the opportunity to see his talent firsthand. Even then, guests consistently praised his creativity, attention to detail, and ability to transform every dish into an unforgettable experience. Jeremy continued his journey, opening the acclaimed Matador Room at The Miami Beach EDITION before earning a Michelin Star. Watching his career evolve into one of today's premier culinary success stories has been inspiring. Dining at Stubborn Seed this past June exceeded every expectation. The menu is imaginative, beautifully presented, and showcases Chef Jeremy's ability to combine bold flavors with refined technique. Every course reflects creativity, precision, and a passion for exceptional ingredients. This is much more than dinner—it's a true culinary experience. One dish that absolutely stole the show was the Whole Roasted Cauliflower with cashew purée, house-made chili crisp, fresh herbs, and lemon. While it may sound like a simple vegetable dish, it's anything but. The cauliflower is perfectly roasted, the cashew purée is incredibly rich and creamy, and the chili crisp adds just the right amount of texture and subtle heat. Every bite offers a new combination of flavors, making it one of the most memorable dishes I've enjoyed in years. It's generous enough to be a meal on its own, and I highly recommend ordering it for the table. Great restaurants have signature dishes, and for me, this is one worth returning for. The service was equally impressive. Our server, Chuck, was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. His recommendations were excellent, his timing was flawless, and he created a dining experience that felt personal rather than scripted. I also want to recognize Josh Moore, the restaurant's General Manager. Throughout the evening, Josh was actively engaging with guests, checking on tables, and ensuring every detail was perfect. His leadership and hospitality were evident throughout the dining room and clearly reflected in the team's professionalism. For me, this is what makes a truly great restaurant. Chef Jeremy Ford delivers extraordinary cuisine, Chuck creates an exceptional guest experience, and Josh Moore brings it all together through outstanding leadership and hospitality. Congratulations to the entire Stubborn Seed team. I highly recommend making reservations well in advance—this is a restaurant you'll remember long after the meal is over, and one I'll definitely return to on my next visit to Las Vegas.
