One of the hardest things to adjust to when coming back from Las Vegas is the cost of dining out.
I was so accustomed to steak dinners for under $20 that I forgot how much restaurants really charge for a good meal.
I have to say it can really smack the happy Vegas frame of mind right out of you.
The Prime Rib Loft is one of the restaurants guilty of distorting the prices of food.
To start, the quality and flavor of meat is nowhere close to The House of Prime Rib.
But for the price, who cares?
But to be fair to The Prime Rib Loft, my meal was comparable to the ones I've had at either Broadway or San Mateo Prime.
I usually get the biggest cut (to the dismay of the wife) and spend the next hour trying to stuff in down my belly (again, to the dismay of the wife).
The meal comes with a salad and choice of two side dishes.
The prime rib is tender and juicy, but it is also a little fatty and in need of more seasoning.
For dessert, I usually ask for another sliver of meat to top me off and was about to make my request when I felt a sharp pain.
It wasn't from my heart but more from my shin.
It was my wife's subtle way of telling me not to even dare.
Overall, 3.5 stars but rounded down since they don't have my requisite super hot horseradish.
