I feel pretty darn lucky to consider Anthony's Prime Steak and Seafood as one of those "it's just down the street" type of places. I live in Anthem behind the M Casino so any great place within a 15 min drive from my pad is heaven. I like knowing there is a fine dining establishment close by and not have to drive all the way to the strip for.
After we arrived, we were seated promptly as it was not busy. Plus I made opentable reservations because I like the points. The ambience is hip and sophisticated, the service is uber attentive. In this place you never feel unpopular because the staff pays a lot of attention to you.
We decided to skip entrees and order three appetizers, it was that kind of night. On our table was placed crab cakes, oysters Rockefeller and the Foie Gras. The presentation of all three were post card worthy... Hail the food art that was presented before us! The crab cakes were crispy and moist, the crab was fresh. The toppings of various vegetation that decorated the crab cakes were a fine compliment since it added texture and palate changes.
As for the oysters Rockafeller... Wow... Super fresh oysters. The oysters were large, perfectly cooked with a topping of spinach mix and hollandaise sauce. The oysters were presented on a plate of rock salt, a happy place for salt lickers! I highly recommend this appetizer.
Now the Foie Gras is pretty darn good. I love ordering foie gras because different restaurants create various interpretations of this beloved ingredient. At Anthony's, it is seared and served with thick toasted bread. I really appreciated the thick bread because in all honesty... There was enough bread for the foie gras! Awesome!!
We also ordered the frozen peanut butter pie for dessert. Ummmm wow. This is definitely a shared dessert because what you get is a MASSIVE slice of frozen peanut butter pie on a chocolate cookie type crust and topped with nuts and chocolate. Super amazing!
I am looking forward to visiting this "it's just down the street" restaurant, again.
