| - Since it was the last weekend before Christmas, Vegas on a Friday night seemed dead. To my surprise, we walked into the restaurant about 10pmish and it was HAPPENING. We had a table of approximately 11 people and was there to celebrate a birthday.
The bread basket had finger-sized pretzels with no salt, but had a marinara type of sauce. The basket also came with a sugar-coated-donut-hole-like bread -- It tasted like it was a brioche-based dough. Loved the bread!
I shared the ribeye for two ($89), medium-rare, and it was cooked exactly the way "medium-rare" should be -- nice and bloody. The peppercorn sauce was good, but wasn't great. Maybe next time I'll substitute a different sauce (the restaurant has several sauces that you can add for an additional cost). Our meat came with a side dish (sides are usually an additional cost ranging from $11 - $14), which the server allowed has to substitute for the lobster mash. Let's just say I could've ate the mash by itself because it was yummy and really filling...it had chunks of lobster but not hoards of it, just enuff.
We brought in our own cake for the birthday boy, but the restaurant DID NOT let us slice/eat the cake at the restaurant. They said it was a liability to have "other" food served on the premises. They did not offer a free dessert for the b-day boy either. Desserts don't cost much to make and since we ordered plenty of food already, you would think the server would comp a dessert. (He did take us all into the Ghostbar for free (yippee-do-da), but to be honest with you, I almost threw up my bloody ribeye after seeing some of the ppl in that bar. We left after half an hour because it wasn't happening at the Ghostbar that nite).
So for 11 ppl the bill came out to approximately $1100+ including tax/tip. I believe we each had one drink, a few appetizers, and mostly individual entrees (some ppl decided to share an entree, which seemed to workout well. Something to consider next time...).
The place is pretty pricey, but if you wanna try this place, maybe share an entree and side and you'll come out with a bill that's around $70ish for two ppl (without drinks).
