Named After a Special Little Girl
The story of Lexie's Bistro begins with a personal touch—it's named after Winnie's granddaughter, Lexie, whose love for animals like birds and owls inspired the restaurant's whimsical décor.
Walk through our doors and you'll notice woodgrain flooring, large windows flooding the space with natural light, and artwork featuring these beloved feathered friends. Every detail creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like an extension of home.
This family-centric inspiration is evident throughout the bistro—from our open kitchen to the 1,900-square-foot patio with poolside views, lush garden seating, fire pits, and comfortable lounging areas designed for year-round enjoyment.

Rooted in Henderson
Lexie's Bistro opened in June 2024 with a simple belief: Henderson deserves better than chain restaurants. After years of watching families drive to the Strip for a quality meal, founder Winnie Schulman decided to bring upscale Italian-American dining to the neighborhood. The result is a restaurant where scratch-made pasta, prime steaks, and craft cocktails meet the warmth of a place that knows your name.
Our kitchen is led by Executive Chef Orlando Pascua, whose career spans Michelin-starred kitchens from Hawaii to Las Vegas. His philosophy is simple: use the best ingredients, cook with care, and never cut corners. That's why we roll pasta fresh every morning, simmer sauces for hours, and source produce from local Nevada farms whenever possible. Chef Santos Lopez brings his Oaxacan heritage and Melisse training to craft dishes that honor Italian tradition while embracing modern technique.
We're proud to be part of the Sunridge Heights and Seven Hills community. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, hosting a business dinner, or just want a Wednesday night dinner that feels special, Lexie's is your neighborhood bistro. We sponsor local events, support Henderson charities, and believe that a great restaurant makes its community stronger.
Meet the Chefs
World-class culinary talent with Michelin-star training bringing you unforgettable flavors.
Santos Lopez
Born in Oaxaca, Mexico, Chef Santos began his culinary journey at just 15 years old at the Michelin-starred restaurant Melisse in Santa Monica. His work ethic quickly earned him promotions from prep cook to sauté cook.
In 2014, Santos moved to Las Vegas to expand his culinary horizons, joining Eataly Las Vegas as Sous Chef and later helping open The Bedford by Martha Stewart as Executive Sous Chef. His expertise in building menus and creating unique dining experiences is paramount to the identity of Lexie's Bistro.
Orlando Pascua
Hailing from Lana'i, Hawaii, Chef Orlando grew up surrounded by a homesteading culture, living off the land and sea. He found his culinary passion working for Chef Roy Yamaguchi at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion.
Since moving to Las Vegas—what Hawaiians fondly call the "9th Island"—Orlando served as Chef de Partie at Wynn Las Vegas and rose to Executive Sous Chef at Eataly in Park MGM. His "New American" style blends his Hawaiian heritage with Italian passion, creating Lexie's unique flavor profile.
