| - I like beef. Bloody, tender, flavorful beef. On a random Sunday night in Vegas my lovely lady friend and I headed to Craftsteak and took a seat at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. We were early and they were busy, which meant we would entertain ourselves with some adult beverages.
I'm allergic to most hard liquor, but I can drink Ciroc. The bartender was happy to cater to my allergy and discerning taste by whipping up a martini that was strong and slightly sweet. He delivered with a tasty beverage with just the right amount of peach juice and vodka.
Once we were seated the service was fantastic, quick (but not too quick) and attentive. We asked our server how to properly stuff our faces with just the right beef selection that would cater to our needs. I ordered the "surf and turf" while my friend got the skirt steak. We started off with fried goat cheese, and ordered some garlic mashies on the side.
My 6oz petite filet was cooked perfectly medium-rare. My lobster was juicy. The skirt steak was cooked a little longer to my friends preference, and the meat juice that filled the bottom of her skillet was HEAVENLY. Once we ate every single bit of our steaks, we happily dipped our spoonfulls of mashed potatoes in said meat juice.
I'm still dreaming about that combo.
Screw the whole "Top Chef" reference. Go for the beef, mashies, and meat juice!
Pricing was very reasonable. For two entrees, one side, one app, and 3 adult beverages we spent around $250. For once I felt like I was paying for the food and not the ambiance, though the low lights and romantical feeling of the place was great. I'd take my husband back anytime, but only if he promises to share.
