| - These poor reviews are way off. My husband and I travel and dine as a religion. We've had it all and we enjoy eating well at home, too. We were (sadly) staying at the Mirage, and thought we'd pop in here as we are both steak lovers and didn't have much time between events to eat. We didn't have a reservation, and happily just sat in the bar/lounge area, which was fine. We started with onion rings which HAND TO GOD, amazing. To. die. for. Quite simple in a beer batter, with a yummy orange-y sauce, but truly perfectly prepared and the onion did not pull out on the first bite. Just a nice, crunchy, tasty onion ring that you can actually eat without embarrassing yourself. I will be back for this! Even if you just have a glass of wine and onion rings in the bar, you will be quite happy!
Secondly, we each had a steak. I think we both had a ribeye, but mine may have been a filet. Bottom line: perfect. Quite delicious, cooked as requested: rare plus. But what I really loved was the little bit of oil and herbs across the top. I believe it was finely chopped rosemary, garlic if I recall, not heavy, just a touch. It was a very nice touch. We usually just like our steaks plain with a nice course salt on our rare bites. I loved this and vowed to prepare it at home like that next time.
My opinion: yes, it's a bit pricey for most, particularly if you have to sit in the lounge and smell the stinky Mirage air, but it's excellent, solid and even "elegant" food, well prepared with lovely staff, and it will be my first reservation next time we are in Vegas.
