| - Located at the Monte Carlo Hotel, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. We were lucky enough to be there for it's first day of business. Although, the dining room was fully booked, we were able to find a seat in their lounge / bar area. While seated on the low couches, which does have a table, we ordered from the full menu. To start we chose a very nice Cab wine from Paradigm Winery that was suggested by one of our waitresses, Rose. You will notice several wait staff always available to help you out. Our first course was Caesar salad. The dressing was not over done and was just enough to not get us too full. The crouton's were an excellent addition to the salad. For our appetizer we order crab cakes. These were fantastic! I would not expect such fresh tasting Lump Crab Meat from a restaurant in Las Vegas. Fantastic! For our main course we ordered the "The Ultimate Steak"! This porterhouse come in 40, 80 and I think 160 oz sizes. Since it was just the two of us, we chose the 40. We also added to the steak Lobster Thermador. Along with the steak comes two sides. We went with the Lobster Mashed and the Asparagus.
The presentation was fantastic. The steak was served already cut with the Porterhouse Bone upright in the center. The flavor was fantastic. The cut was prime and very tender on both sides of the bones. It was also accompanied by two sauces. Although they were not needed, they did add an nice flavor to the steak. The sides were also very good. Especially the lobster thermador. My wife, whom does not like Lobster, could not stop eating it. The other two sides were just as spectacular. Especially the Asparagus with a fantastic sauce.. As we got down to the bottom of our 2nd bottle of the 2004 Paradigm Cab, we checked out the dessert menu.
This menu did not do the rest of the meal justice. Good thing for the waitstaff that was able to interpret the menu. We went with the Strawberry Baked Alaska. It was a great dessert we would be regretted if we overlooked it..
We both came to the conclusion there was really noting bad we could say about the meal. The only slight issue that is worth mentioning is the temperature of the steak. Again, it was fantastic but it was a bit on the cool side. This was either due to the time we took consuming our crab cakes or the fact the is comes sliced to the table.
All in all, the was one of the top 5 Steak places we have visited. The prices were very fair and comparable to other high end steak houses. We look forward to our next trip to Vegas to enjoy this place again.
