| - The GF and I ate here because the hotel we stayed at (Luxor) gave us a $30 dining credit to do so.
I normally am not into paying a ton of money for steak, etc. because in my opinion it isn't rocket science to heat up some meat and put it on a plate; isn't it what the cavemen used to do?? I don't really understand the price premium (and yes, I know about differences between Prime vs Choice, etc), so I generally just get my steak fixes from my grill. Ooga Booga!
Anyhow, we had the dining credit, so the meal was on. We decided to share a 16oz prime rib (since I read good Yelp reviews about it) and a chopped salad. They were very accomodating in allowing us to split the entree *no split plate charge*, in fact, I overheard the waiter telling another table that as well, so I give them kudos for that. I never did understand a lame split plate charge.
So yeah, the chopped salad was good, it came out on two plates for us. Had a good mix, just the right amount of dressing, and enough avocado to make us both smile.
The prime rib was decent. It was a large piece, so it was plenty for us to share, and it was cooked to order - medium rare. However, it definitely needed a couple hits from the salt shaker in both our opinions. It would have been nice to have it seasoned a little from the kitchen. I think it really had no seasoning at all. With that being said, the Au Jus sauce it came with was tasty and the fresh horseradish I requested was spicy enough to, as the waiter put it, make you glow in the dark. It was seriously the spiciest horseradish I think I've ever had. It gave you that wasabi kick if you used too much. Why can I not find horseradish sauce like that in the stores??
Also worth mentioning, they served bread before the meal. A white sourdough I believe and some brown bread with sesame and fruit in it. The brown bread was really good, and the sourdough was Meh. When asked if we wanted more bread, we both agreed, "only brown bread please!". The butter was still super hard and cold (presumably because we were there right at 5 when they opened, maybe it hadn't thawed.) Would have preferred soft butter, oh well, no biggie.
All in all, I wouldn't eat here again (see paragraph #2)... I've got other things to spend my money on besides prime rib.
It was also weird that we were instructed to present the dining coupon at the beginning of the meal. When I asked the waiter about it, he said, "yeah, we need that right away...." and then he just proceeded to prop it up at the front of our table, leaning it against the candle holder as if to label us cheapskates to the rest of the restaurant for the duration of our meal............... Thanks for that. Maybe it was to signal the chef to not bother seasoning our prime rib. Guess we'll never know.
