| - WHO: Me and my boyfriend
WHY: Our 4th year anniversary
This visit makes it our 3rd visit at Craftsteak and all I can say is I've been consistently pleased with the food items I've ordered and the service I've had.
Me and the bf were seated in a comfy booth, which I requested when I previously made our reservation online on MGM's website. Our server introduced himself and also wished us a happy anniversary. **On a sidenote, I mentioned this detail in my online reservation and so I'm pretty sure he was aware of that detail since we didn't specifically tell him of our occasion.** We placed our drink orders: my bf ordered a Martini and I ordered a Champagne Martini. A lady carrying a large professional camera then came up to us and asked if we wanted our picture taken. We said sure and for the next minute or so, I felt like we were at a photo studio with the poses she suggested we do and the bright flash going off every other second. She told us she'd bring the photos back later for us to look at and with that she left. Our drinks came out along with the cute mini bread loaf and butter. By this time we already knew what to order:
-No appetizer since 2 side dishes and our entrees would be more than enough for the both of us
-2 Side Dishes: the Roasted Garlic and Leek Gratin & the Roasted Corn
-Entrees: the 8oz Wagyu Beef (medium) for me & the 10oz Wagyu Beef (medium well) for the bf
By the time our order was brought out, we had also ordered a 2nd round of drinks. The past 2 times we've eaten here, we've always ordered the Leek Gratin because of its creamy garlicky deliciousness. We had never eaten leeks until Craftsteak, but the boatload of butter, cream and roasted garlic added to the dish and you might not realize you are eating leeks cuz its that damn good. The past 2 times we've been to Craftsteak we've ordered the spinach which is good, but not great and so we settled on the Roasted Corn...it easily became our 2nd side dish for future visits. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, tasted lovely, as usual, and easily devoured. I was also completely surprised at how my champagne martini paired well with my meal. The champagne's bubbliness cut through the heaviness of the rich gratin and meaty steak. At the end of our dinner, our server asked if we wanted any dessert. When we said no, he kept jokingly asking us if we were really sure. We told him we were happily stuffed and couldn't fit anything else in our bellies. He left and a few minutes later he presented us with a small plate of bite-sized sweets and the words "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate. OMG, super cute and super sweet!
No sooner had he left, when the lady who took our photos presented us with different photos and an option to purchase a (cheesy) pleather album containing our choice of any 2 photos. Since the photos did come out cute, I picked the 2 photos while the bf handled the cost. The grand total for this pleather album with 2 photos????? $85. Yes, $85 for 2 pictures in a cheesy black pleather album. However, given that we were in Vegas, on our anniversary, and presented with great looking photos of the both of us together we couldn't say no. As a 'freebie' the lady threw in 2 wallet sized pictures also in a cheesy pleather wallet carrier.
Long review short: I love the service. I love the drinks. I love the food.
And apparently...I love their $85 photos!
