| - This is my very first Yelp review !
Last night I went to Andiron Steak and Sea at Downtown Summerlin. My best friend was in town for the holidays and had seen their Mac and Cheese waffle featured on the Food Network so we decided to try this place out.
It is located at the very far end of the shopping center towards Red Rock Casino. The restaurant had a very warm ambiance with a combination of an exposed industrial ceiling and white wooden paneling reminiscent of a cape cod lighthouse. They had upbeat rock music playing in the background, low enough that we could enjoy our conversation. It also had an open kitchen, not too noisy.
They started by brining us a few loafs of warm fresh baked bread. We decided to skip out on appetizers this trip. I ordered the Sweet Potato Gnocchi with crispy parsnip, basil , brown butter-pistachio pesto. Even though it was a small portion , it was extremely tasty and the gnocchi was cooked perfectly. It had just a touch of sweetness , nothing overpowering.
My wife ordered Mary's Organic Chicken with
Confit leg, roasted carrots, brioche stuffing , black truffle jus. The chicken was very tender and the jus gave it such a flavorful taste I didn't want to stop eating it.
For sides we ordered the Roasted Brussel Sprouts with crispy kale , almonds and chili glaze & the Roasted Organic Mushrooms with shallot, thyme, croutons. The Brussel sprouts were delicious (not bitter like your mom used to make you eat growing up) and the roasted mushrooms were juicy and had a hint of earthiness.
We also ordered two of The Mac & Cheese Waffles, the entire reason we came to Andiron Steak and Sea in the first place. It was a medium size round crispy waffle served with a bechamel sauce on the side with grated cheese sprinkled in the grooves. The best way to describe it is it tasted like a very flavorful mac and cheese with a baked bread crumb topping in each bite, not just baked on top like you would get at a typical steakhouse. In all honesty, it didn't blow me away but I thought it was very unique and tasty.
Our server Kenneth was very friendly , funny and patient. The bussers made sure our drinks were always full and immediately took away any dirty plates between courses. It was getting late so we passed on dessert. They had no issue splitting the bill multiple ways.
This is an upscale steakhouse and the prices were higher than I expected. 5 people with with a few sides, entrees and sodas came to over $200 dollars. I would definitely come back but probably for a special occasion.
On a side note: the other people in our party ordered the Scottish Salmon , a steak and a twice baked potato . I unfortunately didn't get to try them but they throughly enjoyed themselves.
