| - Superb!
I'm sure people can knock off stars if their steaks didn't come out to their liking (heck I would too), but all four of ours came out exactly as we wanted them to.
I'm not a big fan of Ermiril's show, nor am I a fan of his personality. Despite having his name associated with this restaurant, I feel that if he's not the one cooking my meal, then it's not really his food. Whoever the chef was that night sure had his mojo going that's for sure.
The cocktail shrimp appetizer was amazing. Cocktail shrimp you say? How different can that be from Bellagio's buffet where you can get like 1000 in one sitting if you wanted? Well considering you're saving your stomach for more desirable substances, the dish contained eight snicker bar sized prawns drizzled with a fine cocktail sauce that had a nice kick to it. It was more than enough to satiate us before the main course.
When our meat came out, my buddy and I couldn't stop drooling. The girls had to laugh as their softball sized fillet's looked more like golf balls in comparison to our full-sized cow bone-in Rib-Eyes. Literally the size of the plate itself, and at least 1.5 inches thick....Vegans would run in fear at the sheer size of this holy beast. The rib eyes were cooked perfectly throughout. Medium-rare, a beautiful mix of pink and red with a perfectly charred (requested) exterior that seared all the juices in and added wonderful flavor to the aged meat. If this wasn't a proper meal we would've gone to town on the bones like cavemen at the end. Truly magnificent. And to think, they were offering a "Generous Cut" Porterhouse on the menu as well.....that might have been size of.....two cows (40-50 ounces per what our waiter quoted)
The sides were just as delightful. Served family style, the Asparagus was grilled perfectly, the potato fingerlings roasted with a beautiful blend of butter and garlic, and the mushroom medley was bursting with flavor. I will also add that the dinner rolls are probably some of the best I've ever had. Soft and fresh hot out of the oven, they had a nice sweetness to them and the fresh churned butter added an exquisite country taste as well.
Dessert consisted of an excellent bread pudding with a scoop or Oreo ice cream, along with a Banana Fosters cream pie. Both were amazingly good. I have no idea how we stomached them, but they were a nice finishing touch.
The wine list is extensive and amazing. They're one of the few restaurants in Vegas that serve one of my favorite wineries wine (Neal). We had an absolutely dazzling bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, that we had to order another. Needless to say, both gentleman slugged down 75% of a bottle each. : )
The service was excellent. our waiter was attentive at all times and was very alert to our needs. The best waiters are those that know what you want without even having to signal or tell them, and our waiter was just that good.
A very elegant setting and located in the walkway connecting the Palazo and Venetian, this is definitely one of the steakhouses in Vegas I will frequent again.
