| - a return visit is long overdue. Used the excuse of a friend's birthday to hit TC.
As in the past, the pretzel bread rocked. Fresh, nice salt crust, good start !
we shared crab cakes ($16) - two very large cakes - decent ratio of crab to filling.
birthday girl ordered the rib eye ( $38 ?? ) with a gorgonzola crust and subbed the spinach salad instead of the house salad ( add $4 )
two of us ordered the daily special - 14 ounce new York strip with lobster mashed potatoes with one having the Caesar, the other, lobster bisque ( $42 plus $4 substitute on salad )
Final order - queen cut prime rib with the chopped salad substitute for the house salad ( $21 ??? )
we also added the lobster mac n cheese ( $14 ) , mushrooms ( $7 ??) and mushroom risotto ( $7)
desserts ( all $9 )
crème brulee, strawberry shortcake and chocolate lava cake
the highlights:
All the steaks were perfectly cooked, properly seasoned and flavorful. the prime rib was a little on the grissly side but great crusted seasoning
All the salads/soup were very good except the chopped salad ( needed to dry the lettuce better.) The spinach salad was especially good.
The sides - the mushrooms were amazing - perfect seasoning, cooked just right. The mac n cheese tasted great though its due to the cheese and the noodles and not the lobster.
The lows:
The risotto - terrible ! had a strong tomato sauce taste ...why ?!?!?
The desserts were very average - the brulee was runny, the shortcake wasn't a "shortcake" and the lava cake ... BORING !
Service was excellent. For a vegas steakhouse, prices are reasonable.
Hopefully, I'll return sooner than 3 years
