| - Do NOT eat here unless you want to eat "steak" that is beyond overcooked to the point of being a solid, black rock. Wolfgang Puck, you should be ashamed of yourself (or rather, your restaurant, as I know Wolfgang doesn't actually cook here himself).
Sadly, I had high hopes for Wolfgang Puck's famous, upscale steak restaurant.
My $80 American Wagyu Kobe Beef Ribeye came out charred and blackened to a crisp. I kid you not. That thing was seriously a black, solid rock. I could barely cut it with a knife, much less chew it.
After I spoke to the waiter about it, even the manager agreed that it was unacceptable and mentioned that the chef was inexperienced. If I was the chef, I would have been far too embarrassed to plate, much less serve, that travesty of a "steak."
I ate with 3 other people, and it turns out that *everyone* at our table had far overcooked steak. My boyfriend ordered Medium Rare, and it came out more like Medium Well. I ordered Medium-Medium Well, and it was far beyond Well Done.
We also ordered the Bone Marrow Flan which was decent (but not excellent, as I usually love Bone Marrow - this tasted a bit too much like Japanese Egg Custard, which I can make myself at home) and the macaroni and cheese side ($21? it was good, but it tasted more like $2 mac and cheese). Our server suggested some good wine pairings, and I enjoyed my Merlot. I think the wine was the only thing I was satisfied with after my meal.
Service was (for the most part) decent. The manager was nice and took care of the steaks for us. However, I would have been willing / would rather have paid good money to eat some good steak.
However, I would highly advise you to spend your money elsewhere.
Heck, even a TV dinner steak would have been better than this mess.
Try going to Craftsteak or one of the other upscale steak establishments in Vegas instead - there are much better options for premium steak where you'll actually be able to chew what you order.
