| - Vegas ... how do you choose a restaurant? I think most of them are really pretty average for the outrageous prices (and I don't mind spending money on food - as long as it's good). My husband was immediately put off by the 10 minute wait for the waiter to get our wine order. I'm okay with a slow dinner, but if you're not, pay attention. The wine list was decent, nothing special. The wine my husband chose (even though I am usually the wine-chooser) was gone, so the waiter did a substitute for us that was okay. We had some oysters - they were $3 in the menu, but he informed us that they had just jumped to $4 because they were bigger (I'd hate to see what they were before, these were not large by any means). He had the tomato soup, which came with mini grilled cheese, he loved it. I had a filet mignon, cooked just fine, but wasn't that tender. He had the Tomahawk rib-eye, which was decently flavored. The sides were nothing special at all. Overcooked asparagus, mashed potatoes that need the sauce they served the steak with (first clue: steak needs no sauce if it is truly stellar). He had the mac 'n cheese, I am anti-cheese, but he liked it. The service was merely okay. If I am paying this much, I want a server with some charisma, though. This one lacked it.
We didn't bother with dessert, it was just too ordinary of a restaurant for a $280 bill for 2. Go elsewhere for your money.
