| - One of the best things about this place is the pricing compared to steakhouses on the on the Strip. Its also a great place in that it's a steakhouse but it also has other items, great for couples where one enjoys a good steak and the other is less of a carnivore!
The service was great and the hostess immediately asked if it was our first time or if we were celebrating something special. Yes to the first, no to the second. But that information was clearly passed on, as our waited and a manager-type both acknowledged that we had not been in before and took the time to explain the menu/food/ect. So there is a long line of communication going on between employees and that's a good thing.
Now to the food:
Short-rib grilled cheese - Order it! Just do it. It comes with thick bread, egg battered and then grilled with tender, savory short-rib meat, gruyere cheese and white cheddar. It's savory, flavorful and filling.
Ribeye - I'm not much of a steak eater, but I enjoyed the seasoning and flavors of this steak and the way it was cooked.
Garlic Chips - come with each entree and are the classic home-made style of kettle cooked potato chips. They are salty and garlicky and good.
Mac and cheese - pretty standard. Creamy with breadcrumbs on the top. Not the best mac and cheese you've ever had, but still good.
Brocillini - pretty basic, but good.
Lamb cigars - almost like an eggroll, but with lamb filling. Unique but worth trying. I could have done with out the wrapping and just had the strips of meat, but the eggroll aspect did give it a unique flavor and style that I haven't had before.
Baked brie - I'd probably skip next time. I love cheeses but this brie did not have much flavor and the bread was over cooked. Just wasn't my favorite.
Each of those items plus a bottle of wine and the bill was about $150 which is a nice price when you compare it to what you would pay at a steakhouse on the Strip. The menu is large enough that you could go back several times and never order the same thing. The service was great, food was high quality and well prepared and the atmosphere was nice.
