| - I have been to many fancy steak houses, on the strip & off the strip. This has become one of my favorites! I have to start off by saying that our waiter was very knowledgeable & attentive. He was able to answer all of our questions & he brought everything to us in a timely manner. His timing was perfect. His name was Steve. But, I'm pretty sure everyone there is nice. It is a fancy place, so, it is a little bit rather expensive. But, definitely worth every penny! Plus, they give you a couple of complementary items. Such as their french fries. There were three different batches & each one had that their own dipping sauce or ketchup. That was a nice touch. In addition to the fries, we ordered our usual shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were fresh & tasted very delicious! The cocktail sauce had a little bit of a kick to it, but it was not too spicy at all. Although, they did have a little tiny bottle of Tabasco for those that really like it spicy. The cucumber Martini was excellent. It was not watered down, but it didn't have too much alcohol either. I know for some, that could never be possible. I also had their hot tea which came in a cute little Asian style teapot. The sugar was in a separate shiny brass container. Very elegant. I ordered the 16 oz. ribeye. I was a little worried because it did not have the bone in. That is what I am used to. But, it was still very flavorful. I also asked for it to be extra well done & extra charred. Some restaurants are scared to do this. So, I always add the sentence "I promise I will not complain if it's burnt." Some like it rare, I like it that way. Different strokes for different folks. It came out perfectly. I was very happy with it. As for the sides, we ordered the broccoli, the gratin potatoes & the truffle mac & cheese. I did not particularly like the truffle mac & cheese. I like truffles, but to a minimum. As for the potatoes, they were absolutely delicious. They do their gratin quite differently from other places. I like their version very much! (I did not personally try the broccoli, although I heard it was good.) We got stuffed rather quickly. The food was filling, comforting & very delicious. For dessert, I wanted to try their famous beignets. I read about them, they sounded & looked amazing in the pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone to share them with. So, we had some ice cream. Cinnamon toast & mint chocolate chip. I loved the mint chocolate chip, but I didn't care for the cinnamon toast too much. Lastly, when Steve packed up everything to go. We were surprised with another gift. Their absolutely delicious caramel & chocolate popcorn. One for each person. Once again, such a nice touch. Overall, I really love this restaurant. They treat their customers in a special way, kind of like family or close friends. And, we like that. I hope to visit this establishment again. And soon.
