| - I wish I could give this place 10 stars, but unfortunately that would break the scale on Yelp.
My friends and I made a reservation for this restaurant for a Friday night dinner and arrived about 15 minutes early. Unfortunately, our table wasn't ready yet which is not the restaurant's fault; however, they offered us a seat at the bar area and gave us complimentary wasabi peas, peanuts, and olives while we waited. We were seated immediately when the time rolled around and got a booth that faced the dining area - great for people watching. The ambiance is a bit loud and rowdy, but the dim lighting made it feel quite romantic as well. We had two servers that night, and they offered us complimentary bread, parmesan breadsticks, and some puffs, which I didn't try. The waiter also brought out the tray of raw meat so he could explain the different marbling in each of the steaks. Quite impressive and definitely something I've never seen at any other steakhouses.
I ordered the petit cut filet mignon 8 oz cooked medium well with the house made steak sauce on the side. For the sides, it was family style so we shared the asparagus and brussel sprouts. I liked how they portioned out the sides for us. I must say, I was originally planning to eat half of my steak because 8 oz is too much for me, but after one bite, I was hooked. The top and bottom of the steak were crunchy and crispy while the middle was nice and soft. The contrast of the different textures in every bite was amazing. What made it even more amazing was their house made steak sauce. It was tangy and flavorful, and I noticed that I would dip each slice generously into the sauce. So good I can drink it. :) Wish they sold it because I would have brought back a bottle.
For dessert, we shared the chocolate souffle, which was pretty big. Once they brought it out, the server sliced a hole in the middle and poured whipped cream inside and placed a spoonful of nutella on top. It was delicous! We finished it all in less than 3 minutes. You would think that would be the last course to end the night, but nope! They offered us a plate of mini desserts - marshmallow, meringue, lemon tart, and jelly - on the house.
Of course, the price for the dinner was outrageously expensive, but that's a given when you're eating at a steakhouse in Vegas. I thought it was worth it, and you should too.
Tip: the restaurant is located inside the Shops at the Palazzo.
