| - Honestly speaking, Ron's was kind of a last resort for Valentine's Day dinner. I was originally planning on taking my wife to Fleming's or Morton's, but the reservation times were way too late, so I had to think of something quick! Then I remembered that AZ Charlie's had recently opened a steakhouse, so i tried to make an online reservation and to my surprise, there were seatings available for 7pm. We arrived and were promptly seated by a very nice hostess. I wasn't particularly crazy about being seated against the wall, but at that moment there were no free tables in the open area of the restaurant, so I didn't let it get to me. The ambience was intimate and calming, with dim lighting and music faintly playing in the background. The room had more of an "old school Vegas" feel to it, when things were more laid back. Our waiter, Monty, was a class act and provided outstanding service the entire meal...an extra shout out goes to our drink server Andy, who NEVER let our water glasses become empty! Now for the food: First, they get big kudos for having an awesome bread basket that comes with 3 different butters. Our favorite was definitely the raisin bread with cinnamon butter...yummy!! My wife ordered the New York Strip and I ordered the Ribeye, both cooked medium rare. The steaks are ordered ala carte, but they did come with our choice of soup or salad. My wife had the soup, which was sun-dried tomato bisque, and it was absolutely delicious. I tried the salad and it was a nice plate of spring greens with a tasty blue cheese dressing, nothing extravagant, but sufficient enough. We tried the sausage stuffed mushroom appetizer and it was nice. I would best describe its taste as "doughless pizza." After about 20 minutes or so, our steaks arrived. Sides can be ordered for only $5 each so we tried the au gratin potatoes, creamed spinach, and the risotto style orzo pasta. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious! As for the sides, the orzo pasta was the star of the show, with a rich, cheesy-like flavor. The creamed spinach and au gratins were good too, but not outstanding. My only knock was that I was really looking forward to trying the tableside bananas foster, but they were not offering tableside service that night. Also, we tried the creme brûlée and found it to be a bit runny and it had somewhat if a bitter aftertaste. Overall, I will be back to try the Porterhouse and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a less expensive alternative to the higher end steakhouses in town!
