| - I usually steer clear of the strip when it comes to dinner out around town. The main reason being that everything is overpriced just because of the location.
This place is no exception, but not to such extremes as other locations. And being that there is such a limited amount of outdoor dining there on the strip, I'm willing to shell out a little more for the experience of dining ON Las Vegas Blvd.
Unfortunately we didn't get that experience when we were here, and were tucked away at a tiny table right next to the door.
No big deal except we seemed to be a little to hidden from our server as well.
The table was tiny and felt like a table in a coffee shop.
Again this would have been fine if we were stopping in for a small bite at a cafe, but we were starving, and came for a serious dinner.
We ordered the Seafood Platter ($49.95) which is an entree meant to be split by 2 people, and in addition ordered the largest steak on the Steak Frites menu, the 22 0z. bone in Ribeye ($39.95).
The Frites were crispy and a real surprise, but the steak was a bit disappointing. It was a high quality cut, but the flavor of the steak just wasn't there for some reason, and it came at the same time as the seafood platter, which we specifically asked to have brought out as an appetizer and the steak later. So after we finally finished the seafood platter the steak had continued cooking for another 10 minutes on the plate to a little past medium, and had gotten cold.
We were a little disappointed but at the time we couldn't flag down a server to let him know we had a few issues.
The seafood platter was exactly as it should have been. Very fresh, and very filling. Although I'm not an aficianado on French food, and maybe I'm just a redneck who's eaten at Red Lobster one too many times...but I can't help but feel like I need some drawn butter with Lobster and Shrimp.
Oh well, Ces't la vie.
