Old Homestead Steakhouse is more of a classic steakhouse. Every thing is big here in portion, it reminds me of Nick and Sam's in TX or Gibson Steakhouse in Chicago; classic, darker dining room, casual diners, classic steakhouse and seafood menu.
The moment we walked in, the 2 hostesses were greeted my nieces nicely, then right way, we got seated at our table. Our server was Berk, he was nice, and chatted up with my nieces, made them feel like princesses.
The wine list was good, but I'm surprised on the limited of wines by the glass. They seem to focus on US wines; I tried to order Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, or even Italian wines by the glass, just US wines for now!?
Another thing bother me was the photographer, she told us it was $25 for picture; then she came back with $65, $85, dropped down to $45? My nieces were confused, and I thought that was cheesy .
Excited for chef Tim Henderson in the kitchen, we were looking forward to try his food.
SALADS:
- Kitchen Sink Salad - shrimp, salami, bacon, avocado, tomato, hearts of palm, blue cheese & Champagne vinaigrette - Good size, generous to share.
- Roased Heirloom Beets - arugula, goat cheese, tangerine vinaigrette - I love this salad, light, and citrus, nice to start a nice meal.
RAW BAR:
- Shellfish Platter - Maine Lobster, GIGANTIC King Crab Legs, Nigeria Spot Parwns, BC Kusshi oysters, Long Islands Blue Point Oysters; this was the first time I tried Nigeria parwns, they are so big; bigger than 3.5 oyster length. They were sweet and tasty. The King crab legs were nice, fresh. My nieces and I finished this giant platter in like 25 minutes!
APPETIZERS:
- Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon - the aroma was insane, with steak sauce recommended by our server Berk. We all loved this dish.
- Kobe Meatball - marinara, ricotta chese. Now most of the folks might not know this or that they don't care; but if you like me, "Steak is my FAV pet" you know that KOBE doesn't export steak to the US for at least the last 5-6 years. So I guess this must be a TYPO on the Old Homestead Steakhouse part. Anyway, my nieces loved it, this meatball was the biggest meatball I've ever ate! It's bigger than my knee, and it was quite tasty!
STEAK and side dishes:
- The "Sherry Brothers" New York Strip - 18 OZ for only $62, clean cut, aged over 30 days, it was clean, juicy, and tasty. If you like a clean cut, this is it, cheaper than the filet mignon cut, but 10 OZ bigger, great to share with a big group of friends.
- The "Gotham Rib" Steak on the bone - Rib eye, wow this was 26 OZ cut; it was so juicy, perfectly cooked more on the rare for me; so tender; and I love the charred edges, tasty and a bit fat can do you wonder! It's only $71, this is a STEAL deal for this giant ribeye. I can see my mom would fall in love with this cut! Enough to feed 3 people!
- Duck Fat fries - my nieces was going crazy at this. Why something tasted this good can be bad for your body???
- Potato Gnocchi with Truffle Butter - this was rich, but 1 of my nieces enjoyed it because she eats anything with butter in it!
- Fire Roasted Corn - this was so sweet and sauteed nicely. I finished this side dish myself :-)
DESSERT: The kids had the cast iron skillet of Warm Banana Bread Pudding, caramelized bananas and a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. I was amazed that they were still going at it!
The menu also offer Australian Wagyu 10 OZ cut fore only $160. If you live in Northern California, you know of Alexander's Steakhouse, you look at paying around mid $200, so for those who complained about the pricing here. I'm in shock.
You want a good aged piece of steak anything in the $70 range is reasonable, and for Vegas, you should add at least 50% on top of it.
I'm so tired of seeing all these non-sense Yelpers gave bad reviews, when all they eat were fast food and caged beef in their life. What knowledge do you have to consider yourself a 'blogger" of "foodie"? Because I'm not!
It likes you complain that a Ferrari is too expensive, and you drive a 10 years old Saturn? Hello, they both take you from home to work or school. Same goes for steakhouse; so they are all beef, go to your belly right? Is that how you write your review? Do you live in an apartment with roommates and compare to million dollars beach front mansion, and complain the mansion is too expensive? Or is it because you can't afford it? How do you judge?
If you want value, and a good traditional steakhouse, come here. Got more value than most steakhouses on the strip; and you can tell them I send you. If you come in with good attitude, you will have a great meal. Because I did.
