Continuing the tradition of doing one fine dining per trip to Vegas me and my buddy decided to try CUT by Wolfgang Puck. We decided to try this restaurant due to the fact that they served True Japanese 100% Japan Wagyu which is really hard to find. Most place serve either American kobe, American wagyu or Australian wagyu. Rarely do they serve authentic wagu.
Reservation: Reservation was not bad at all. You could easily make reservations the day of. However, i would suggest making it several hours in advance just to be on the safe side. The more last moment u make the reservation the later the time it seemed like. (I had gotten a reservation at 8pm but when i called around 7 to add 2 more people it got pushed to 10pm)
Location: Cut was located inside the Palazzo hotel on the Lobby floor.
Decor: The decor was very nice. It had somewhat of a modern theme. Like with most fine dining restaurants, it had a slightly romantic dim light setting. However it was not quiet nor too loud which was really nice since you can actually have a conversation with your date or friends and not feel like your talking to loud or have a hard time hearing them.
Food:
Bone Marrow Flan, Mushroom Marmalade, Parsley Salad - This dish was delicious and cooked perfectly. It was evenly cooked and the mushroom marmalade complimented the bone marrow very nicely.
True Japanese 100% Wagyu Beef from Miyazaki Prefecture, Kagoshima- What can i say about this dish except that it was truly melt in your mouth delicious. This was probably one of the best steaks i have had. Typically for steaks, i have meat cooked at a medium rare but this time i asked the waiter how i should have this cut cooked since it was my first time eating 100% wagyu. His recommendation was medium. His reason was that it would allow all the heavy marbling to melt and absorb into the meat. Cooking it medium rare may not melt the marbling completely and may leave it chewy. As a result i went with Medium and i am glad i did. The wagyu came out perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I love the fact that they charred the top and bottom slightly so you get an initial flavorful crunch and then as u sink your teeth further into the meat it slowly melts away. 8oz was just perfect enough to get you full due to how rich it is.
I will def be coming back again for some more bone marrow and wagyu.
