| - Overview:
--Overpriced, seasonly-challenged restaurant. Better value and food elsewhere on the strip.
What I had:
--bread basket
--cesar salad
--seafood platter
--Filet mignon, medium
--side of mashed potatoes and mac'n'cheese
--Banana & chocolate cream pie
The Great:
--bread was fantastic, especially the pretzel loaf and puffy muffins
The Good:
--Banana & chocolate cream pie desert
--Cesar salad but come on, how do you mess up iceberg, croutons, and dressing?
The Mediocre:
--Unremarkable ambience. Honestly I can't even remember it.
--Service was pretty darn slow. Yes, we had a table of 15 people but this is Vegas and that scenario is extremely common. Everything felt a half hour behind schedule.
The Bad:
--seafood platter had 1) a pleasant large cold shrimp, 2) underwhelming pieces of cold crab meat, and 3) the blandest lobster tail I've ever had in my life - no joke. It was utterly devoid of flavor.
--the steak; properly cooked, tender meat, but criminally over salted. I'm talking "tongue writhing with dehydration" salty. I THINK I could taste some steak under all the seasoning. Most everyone in my party agreed.
Summary:
--Don't be fooled by this "high end" steakhouse. Just because they nonsensically have a number in their name and charge a pretty penny doesn't mean you're getting good food. In fact, I'd probably have enjoyed a meal at Outback more and payed a third of what I did here.
