| - A solid steak house on the Strip, with wallet-friendly prices. Their menu has everything from steaks to prime rib, multiple soups and salads, plus fresh oysters and shareable sides.
OYSTERS: Got the half dozen kumamoto, they were decent. Their house cocktail sauce is good, the red wine mignonette was just okay.
CENTER CUT CHOPPED SALAD: Good size, good variety of ingredients including tomato, cucumber, radish, salami, cheese, olives, and avocado. Would get again.
CAESAR SALAD: BF's favorite, here it's served with anchovies, which he loves.
FRENCH ONION SOUP: Bubbly and hot with a super-rich broth and plenty of cheese. Shareable portion.
ROSEN FARMS PRIME RACK OF LAMB: My entree pick, which was more accurately two chops with a weird presentation. It was served on two sauces (eggplant caviar and minted Greek yogurt) neither of which was very good, and a gummy, flavorless olive and mushroom risotto. The meat was good, but the rest of the plate lacked finesse.
SALT-CRUSTED PRIME RIB: Ordered rare, received raw, returned to kitchen re-received medium well. This was just okay. Two portion sizes, might as well go for the larger one. Would get an actual steak next time instead.
TWICED BAKED POTATO & BROCCOLINI: The potato was huge, topped with cheese, and super creamy, while the broccolini was lightly seasoned and fresh. I like that you can get two sides to share for $15, selection was a good mix of healthy and hearty.
NY CHEESECAKE: Almost didn't get dessert but this was our server's recommendation, and it arrived topped with a mountain of fresh whipped cream and tons of strawberries, blueberries, and black berries, with what appeared to be an Oreo cookie crust. Very nicely done, glad we got this to share.
Overall, the menu and execution were pretty average but pricing was pretty good for the Strip and they occasionally offer a Groupon ($69 for $100 value, not valid with discount codes). Our server was Jenny, and she was great. If you're celebrating a special occasion, there are some secluded booths with privacy curtains that you can reserve.
