| - What an underrated place! If I could give it 4.5 stars I would, because it's just that much better than so many high priced cow places I've been to. I'd give five stars if they were to kick up the side dishes just a notch. Field greens and arugula in the salad instead of bagged iceberg, perhaps? Twice baked potatoes? Garlic smashies? I know these niceties might add to the cost slightly but I'm willing to pay it.
Since we were staying at Southpoint, we were motivated to have dinner here. So easy, just downstairs, and they were having a deal that was ridiculously cheap. I don't remember the exact price but it was CHEAP! Like, $16 for a whole dinner with all the trimmings.
We ordered the single-cut prime rib (I think it was called Southpoint cut), baked potatoes, and the house salad. Nothing fancy, no frills. Each item came out on a separate plate. You people who hate for your food to touch... this place is for you!
Our prime rib was done to a turn. Perfection. It was perched in the middle of its own plate, atop a pool of clarified pan juices. The waiter offered us horseradish, which we accepted. The meat and horseradish tasted amazing. I could tell the meat was aged and it was seasoned beautifully.
The house salad was fine; nothing special. The waiter tossed it at our table and that was a nice touch, albeit sort of unnecessary from our point of view.
The bread was fresh and warm. The butter had been pressed into a rose-shaped mold.
We ordered two bottles of wine: one white Sauvignon Blanc, one red Petit Syrah. Sorry I don't remember the variety of wineries. But they were good.
The service was prompt and personable. No complaints. The atmosphere was nice too. The restaurant is on a level above the casino floor. So you won't hear all the racket or breathe all the smoke. The lighting is soft, the booths are roomy, appointments and fixtures quality but not extravagant.
I remember walking out of the restaurant, telling Gary I really enjoyed my dinner. Looking back, yeah, I enjoyed it, especially in view of the meal we'd had the night before at Triple George. By far, this restaurant had better food, service, wine, and atmosphere.
The best part of all this, is we left the restaurant, having had plenty of good food and wine, for well under $100, including tip!
Pilot information: Southpoint is easy to access from Henderson Executive Airport and McCarren Int'l airport. The hotel has a shuttle that will take you to/from either. At least it did when we were there. You should call and verify first, just to make sure.
