| - After walking around TI, we decided the Steak House may be our best bet for a decent dinner. It was my husband's birthday and we thought we'd splurge a little and get a good steak. All in all, that's about all we got was a decent steak!
The Service: Came in at 10:15. Was not told the restaurant closed at 11. Hostess was a fat Russian woman with too much makeup. I smiled and asked if they did anything special for birthdays. Instead of, "I'm sorry, unfortunately we don't but we do wish you a very happy birthday," we got a "No. Best we can do is a put a candle in your dessert." Jeez, that sounds swell. So we're seated. A Mexican with a thick accent comes up to us, tells us his name, he's our waiter and his partner is....So we're good so far. He's offered us bottled water and I ordered soda on top of that. So we get "the look." You ever go into a restaurant, not order alcohol and get "the look?" It's not a nice look and it's also a good way of letting you know your service is going down hill because your tab isn't going to be as large so his tip won't be as large just because you didn't order $50 worth of alcohol. The one good thing he did do was advise us to order appetizers because the steak would take a long time.
The Food: The complimentary foccacia type rolls were ok. A little stale but the herbed butter helped a bit. We ordered one lettuce wedge that offered pancetta and avacado slices. Interestingly enough, they brought out two and we were charged for two. We waited 25 minutes for a 42 ounce ribeye for two with bernaise on the side, a side of creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was very good. As in very, very good. Cooked exactly how we like (which isn't easy since we both like it well done but not burnt) and the sauce that it was simmering in was delish. The bernaise wasn't that good. It actually didn't taste like bernaise at all. The creamed spinach was crap. Like they took a package of frozen spinach and heated it on the stove with some salt and pepper and threw in some milk to make it look creamed. The mashed potatoes were a little odd. Really smooth and dense, almost didn't feel like mashed. They tasted ok but just a really odd texture and maybe a little too much garlic.
Bottom line: Does anyone really think it's ok to pay $12 for bottled water? Really? Really? Considering that it's Vegas and NOBODY drinks Vegas tap water....The food really isn't worth the price. It's in bad taste to offer fine dining with the prices to go along with it and only offer mediocre food and even less than mediocre service. The Steak House's only saving grace is that the steak was cooked the way we like it. But $80 for a steak that we liked and $70 on everything else that we didn't like doesn't make us want to go back anytime soon.
