| - This is a very different restaurant from the type we normally select in Las Vegas. Everything screams out "old school," from the waiters to the red vinyl booths. You are not going to find any molecular gastronomy on the menu, nor can you expect to pay those types of prices. But if you are looking for a great value for a simple steak cooked to your liking, it is hard to beat what The Steak House has to offer.
For starters, both my wife and I chose the house salad with an Italian vinegar ĂȘtre. The salad was quite large, and full of fresh, crispy vegetables. The dressing was tangy but not overly sweet. For the main course, my wife chose the lobster tail, while I opted for the "petite" cut of prime rib. This was my first mistake of the evening. Actually, two mistakes: one was that I ordered the prime rib cooked medium well, which as everyone knows is just a rookie move. The second was that I assumed "petite" meant...well, small. The huge slab of beef that was set on my plate threatened to topple over the table. Since I'm not someone who can eat a huge amount of cow at one sitting, I barely made a dent in my plate. This leads me to suggest that sharing a meal at The Steak House might be a viable option, assuming you can agree on what to order and how you like it cooked.
We finished up our meal with quite possibly the best coffee I've had at a restaurant. A perfect ending to what was a good (not great) meal. I can definitely see the appeal of The Steak House, but I think the Zagat score of 28 is awfully high.
