| - My $0.02
Steakhouses are a dime a dozen in Vegas. But you already know that. Seems like there's one on every corner waiting for you to cough up $50+ a pop. There isn't much to set this place apart from the rest besides the nationally-recognized name (nothing against chains, but I'm just making a point).
The beef here is pretty consistent. (It never ceases to amaze me at how many times I've had overcooked steak). I always order the rib eye and on two separate visits, both times med rare was med rare. Win! I also tried a friend's kona coffee rubbed rib eye: yet another example of why you should never pay extra to put crap that ruins/asks the flavor of a good slab of beef.
On my latest trip we had creamed spinach, mushrooms and the lobster mac & cheese. Creamed spinach was tasty, mushrooms were acceptable, but the mac and cheese was winners! Next time, I think we'll just have three orders of that.
Aside from the mac and cheese, the one thing that really stood out was the pineapple infused vodka. Well slap me silly and call me Susan; this stuff is B-O-M-B. For this drink alone, it is worth at least hitting up the bar. Also, they have an ok corkage policy. I think it was $35/bottle, with a two bottle max.
All in all, though, a martini and a side dish aren't enough to really warrant handing over a wad of my cash for a middle of the road steakhouse. Sure, it's better than Outback, but with competition right across the street, this place has room for improvement. Just my humble opinion.
