| - A rare gem hidden where you wouldn't expect it. Superb value/quality for money.
I was looking for an above average steakhouse to dine with family and upon consulting Yelp, The Steakhouse checked all the right boxes:
Good food
Good service
Good value
plus the added "old school"/ "hidden gem" allure.
I arranged to visit The Steakhouse early, just when it opened up for the evening. As soon as you enter you can see the room where they age the steaks. The overall lighting is low, with the appropriate amount of light on each table. The overall decor might seem "old school" as others have pointed out but I found it to be very appropriate for the type of the restaurant. The music also seemed to compliment the "old school" atmosphere with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin lightly playing in the background. While this looks like a somewhat "dressy" place the atmosphere is quite relaxed and unpretentious.
All dishes at The Steakhouse include a big bread basket with quite a variety to choose from. All of them were fresh and delicious.
We tried the Porterhouse, Ribeye and Filet Mignon; all were cooked to perfection. Unseasoned of course so you can better enjoy the taste and quality of the meat and also so you may add one of the sauces The Steakhouse offers. The green peppercorn sauce stood out, crisp and flavorful.
Each steak costs about $50 which I think is very reasonable:
Meat quality and cooking is splendid and the price includes the big bread basket as well as your choice of a salad or soup AND (that is, in addition to) your choice of baked potato, mashed potato or wild rice blend.
Since it was my first time at The Steakhouse, when I asked for the dessert menu, I was surprised to see that our server actually brought a whole dessert cart which showcased all the desserts. I assure you, this is much better than looking at a menu but it might also make your choice even more difficult as all the offerings looked delicious.
We sampled the creme brulee and the tiramisu and, as expected, they were splendid!
Service was exquisite: polite and attentive just when you needed them without annoying and pretentious interference. I can't stress enough how impressed I was.
If you want to enjoy a good steak dinner in a more than casual atmosphere then The Steakhouse is the place. Not only is the food excellent but the service as well. Couple these with not so unreasonable prices and you have quite possibly one of the best value for money steak houses on the Strip.
