The chef debuts Old Soul

Natalie Young, who first opened the breakfast and lunch Eat in Fremont East six years ago and later expanded to Summerlin, now has a new restaurant on her hands with Old Soul.

The 5,154-square-foot space at the World Market Center features a dedicated patio by the front entrance and rear access leading directly into the Las Vegas Design Center. Old Soul takes over the former home of “Latin chic” restaurant Mundo, which closed in 2015.

Young describes the restaurant as a “1919-1920 pre-Prohibition, elevated American classic kitchen.” She spent time shopping for antiques to fill the room and plays old movies on the wall.

The menu features dishes such as squid and prawns served with ancho chile and grilled sourdough toast, chopped beef with fried oysters, smoked trout, a collard greens and artichoke dip, chicken liver paté, and fire-roasted cauliflower to start. Fans rave about the meatloaf and braised short rib risotto, while pork chops and whole grilled branzino also make the entrees menu. Sides include Brussels sprouts with caramelized onions and apple wood smoked bacon, fried green tomatoes, and braised collard greens. Cherry pie, bread pudding, peach cobbler round out the desserts.

Old Soul, World Market Center, 495 S. Grand Central Pkwy., Building A, Suite 116, 702-534-0999. Open for lunch Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and dinner Monday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m.
