| - Good meat. Not terribly pricey for cuts of meat, but neither a good deal.
Some sides ok (we all dug on the sweet corn, mac and cheese was rather good as well. Truffle fries kind of pathetic- tater tots, basically; asparagus meh.)
The real shitter- their wine is expensive as hell. $17 for a glass of Justin Cabernet? The cheapest bottle of red is $75? Come on now, that's gouging.
I don't mind dropping money on a quality steakhouse meal, but when the wine is ludicrously overpriced from the get-go, that's hard to overcome. Because I like enjoying some fine red with my cut of carnivorosity.
Plus, you can think me an old fart at the ripe age of 36, but steakhouses are best (in my opinion) when they are classic, old-school types. Some Frank or Dean playing in the background, leather booths, gin and tonics before the meal, etc.
Techno music? Cosmopolitans? I get it, the Cosmo resort is trying awfully hard for the young hipster vibe, and yes, some of those kids have some serious money to blow. I guess you need a place like that for "those people." I had a decent meal, paid way too much for it- mostly due to the wine-, and can cross this place off the list forever as "not my scene."
You kids go have your fun, though. And then go wait in line and pay $50 for admission into some similar techno-playing club.
