| - Not a bad place for a meal; it was all really just A-OK for me. Nothing spectacular, but they served our large party with friendly and expeditious service. That fact alone makes up half of the dining equation. As for the food ...
We started with the Shellfish Tower and split it all along the table. I think we had maybe 17 people, and we all devoured it. Standard fare - lobster, shrimp, oysters. Everyone seemed to love it.
Some appetizers made the rounds: charred octopus (nice), pork belly (also nice). I only had a bite of each as I didn't want to go overboard - because a STEAK was coming, that's why.
Hubby chose the Wagyu flatiron with chimichurri, which he said was cooked very well. I had the filet, and I thought it was great. We split a bunch of sides and there were differing opinions on the truffle risotto - I loved it more than anyone, but I love truffle AND risotto, so I knew this would be no exception. It did need a touch more seasoning, but I was still okay with it for the most part. The creamy kale had excellent flavor, but I guess some people tasted burnt parts. I never did, but maybe they got the edges or something? The brussel sprouts were super good - excellent color and char. The free rolls were nothing special, but they did give you a piece of house made jerky which was a nice touch.
Anyway, we all had a nice time. Food was good, but not mind-blowing amazing. We probably won't go back considering all the food options LV has to offer. However, if you are a steakhouse fan, it might be worth looking into at least once.
