| - Was extremely pleased by this restaurant.
Went here for our anniversary and first night out since our daughter was born; to get a little steak/casino action. We sat on the patio, as the lighting on the inside lacked the usual ambience.
Service:
Every person we interacted with was fantastic. Our waiter (Michael, ask for him!) was prompt, friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. The sommelier was excellent and was able to recommend a mid-range wine we loved based on the hodgepodge of information we gave him about what we liked.
Food:
Delectable. I had the 12oz. filet, oscar-topped with a side of asparagus. My husband had the 20oz. ribeye with creamed spinach and a baked potato. Unlike the other reviewers, we both marveled at the perfection of our steaks. A perfect medium rare, warm all the way through on both, with a nice sear on mine. Keep in mind: we are steak people, we've eaten at a lot of steakhouses and this was the most PERFECTLY cooked steak I've ever seen. Everything else was great, with the exception of the potato. Not that it was bad, just underwhelming after the quality of all the other dishes. But then, it was a baked potato.
The only negative point we had was the gelato. We really can't complain, as the dessert was complimentary (our anniversary), and exactly what we wanted (a little gelato, a little chocolate). However, gelato is not supposed to be hard. It's not like ice cream, it's a gooey, wonderful, weirdly-frozen mess. This was rock solid. I mean hard to get a spoon through solid.
All in all, we will be back. Probably too often. This place is the perfect high-end steakhouse to compliment a night of blissful gambling and drinking. It rivals many of the places we at in California & Vegas.
