Rarely does a sister Location to a top flight place ever out perform its original. I can honestly say after dining here last evening that this may be one of the best meals we have had in Vegas in many years. Reservation for 8 People 7PM arrive 30 minutes early to this large multi room venue located 1st floor of the Forum Shops. Saddle up the bar which is packed and have quite a bit of drinks over the next 30 minutes. 1st Nice surprise of the evening they are not Knee Capping you on Booze. Very reasonable priced cocktails across the board.
With that complete we are seated promptly at 7PM in the back room of this clubby type feel steak and seafood establishment. Its quite loud and bustling but I never felt crowded or pushed. Menu's provided as well as special menu with today's market priced stone crabs and king crab leg pricing. Considering they are flow in daily from Miami price points are well REASONABLE for what you pay much move for locally in South Florida and to be honest not as good. Waiter Ryan states although we are famous for Stone Crabs steaks are their thing here as well. So Off we go.
1st off Basket of various homemade flatbreads, breads, pretzel breads etc with nice whipped butter await us as we sit.. Wine list is a bit. Pricey but vintages are accurate and a couple of Magnums later we are moving along.
Crab Bisque is as good as anything as anyone has ever had.
Chopped Joe's Salad is perfection while it's pretty tough to screw up a wedge they did not and a nice blue cheese dressing with amble bacon etc make all salads a winner.
Some of us had orders of Stone Crabs for appetizers and they truly didn't disappoint. Cracked to perfection, cold and clean and sweet made these as good as south Florida no question. Large 1lb of Alaskan king crab cocktail $69.00 was as fresh and succulent as anything I've ever tasted.
We could have stopped there but we rolled right into some Filet Mignons Petit $35.0 VERY REASONABLE. Cooked to absolute perfection..
Sides Mushrooms not on menu were simply OK....
Onion strings Excellent
Sweet potato fries top Shelf
Garlic crusted mashed were good
Key Lime Pie for desert Sinful.
Service was well PERFECTION... brisk without being pushy, helpful and one of our diners who was not feeling well left before eating and his order was gracefully cancelled.
In Short This place does it right and you can see why it is absolutely packed. For what you get in this very overpriced city it is great to see top shelf food, service and atmosphere with great pricing make it's way back here...
NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR... A DON'T MISS!
