| - Ambiance: 2. One star for the dim lighting and tall ceilings. One star for the.... hmm, that's about it. The restaurant doesn't even try to create some sort of universal vibe - there's one large room as far as I saw that remains relatively noisy. In the background they played Michael Jackson (RIP) and a few other 80s artists the whole time. But they dressed old school Italian steakhouse feel. The whole place was just confusing, I would definitely not choose this place for a date and questionable for large special occasion as well.
Cost: 2. More expensive than some comparable peers in Vegas (see my review for CUT, which is just around the corner). Steaks are probably worth the price, but pastas and other appetizers seemed a bit on the pricey side, even for Vegas.
Food Quality: 4. More of a seafood guy, but I still loved the filet here, just not quite as good as some others I had. That said, I've been told by other steakhouses that THIS is the best steak in Vegas, and noted it was ranked nationally. I suppose I miss something getting the filet vs the ribeye. Great wine selection. Sides and side dressings for steaks we ordered were immemorable. Gnocchi pasta was o k but wouldn't order again.. Black Fettuccine Seafood pasta was great, but overpriced for portion size as another reviewer mentioned.
Service: 4. A little over the top, really pushing hard for tips etc but all in all quality service that explained the menu well. Able to accommodate us on a Monday without a reservation.
When to return: To honor Michael Jackson. Steak craving. Balling at the Palazzo. When they've banned you from other Vegas restaurants nearby.
