| - Oscar's is another example of "you get what you pay for". My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Plaza, with Oscar's as our dinner plan. The evening started in the bar with Martinis before dinner. Rather than sitting at the bar itself, we chose two very comfortable padded leather chairs at a small table and settled in to enjoy the ambiance. If these weren't the best dirty Gin Martinis we've had, they were too close to split hairs over. Our waiter was very courteous, ensured we knew it was Happy Hour, and had several recommendations for us in the event wanted to try something other than the Martinis. Not long after we sat down, one of Oscar's "Broads" introduced herself and made sure we knew to call on her if we needed anything.
We were told our table was ready slightly before our reservation time, and the hostess was quick to tell us we could finish enjoying our drinks at the bar or bring them to the table, which ever we preferred. Our waiter was ready with the bill in case we wanted to move right away. We paid and moved to our table. We sat along the outer edge of the restaurant and had a wonderful view of the intersection of Main and Fremont Streets. The restaurant is even with the second floor and sits in front of the Plaza Hotel and Casino. Surrounded by glass with a raised center section, it looks like there isn't really a bad seat in the house.
We were happy to see that the man who was our waiter at the bar had moved into the restaurant and was now our waiter for dinner as well. He was fantastic and represented the "Old Vegas" class and courtesy that is so much a part of our city's reputation. He treated us like royalty and ensured we knew that we could order another round of Martinis (or other drinks) at Happy Hour prices. (We did, of course.)
We ordered Shrimp Cocktail to start the meal and Filet Mignon (Oscar style) for dinner, with smashed potatoes and creamed spinach as sides. Everything was prepared perfectly. The portions weren't excessive, but there was enough food that we could have taken leftovers home. Our waiter ensured our glasses were never empty, was never pushy, didn't rush us at all and even took time to talk with us after dinner. As we ate we saw the Broad move casually through the restaurant several times, ensuring any and all questions were answered, and sitting with guests for conversation when asked. When we were done with our meals, our waiter had our check ready. It was a pleasure to tip generously for truly superior service.
We can't wait to head back to Oscar's. There are many more things on the menu we'd like to try and we're excited to experience the equally amazing service again and again. If you live in Vegas and haven't gone to Oscar's yet, find the time and go. If you're visiting and want a special evening to enjoy some Old Vegas hospitality right where it all began down on the original Las Vegas Strip, be sure to save a night and go. You won't regret it!
