| - This place is a great hidden gem. I found this place reading reviews on some other restaurants on the strip, I assumed the first couple were just people who got paid to make positive reviews, but I read on. Everyone is right, this is where all the locals go, and for good reason.
I made reservations with my wife on a Thursday evening and I would definitely recommend the reservations. The first thing you get is the bread. I think they give you 6 different kinds of breads all in one basket, so good. We started out with the sauteed mushrooms, a great choice. At $9, it's the cheapest thing on the menu and boy is it worth it. They split it up for us without us even asking and the mushrooms filled 2 bowls. Honestly, they could've been a meal in itself. I ordered the bone-in rib eye medium rare and my wife ordered the filet the same. At the time, they were running an anniversary special and the filet was only $39 instead of the usual $51. The sides that come with the steaks were huge. In fact, the next time I go I'll be sharing the rib eye with my wife and paying the $10 shared plate fee to get the extra sides.
Their wine selection is great as well.
The only downside is it's in circus circus, so that means you have to park and walk through a terrible hotel, I'm sure there's a valet you could use in the front, I just didn't use it. Either way, it wouldn't be fair to detract from the restaurant's rating.
Not only is this place better than any other place I've eaten on the strip, it's cheaper and includes all the sides. I forgot to mention the water comes from bottles your waiter pours you, it's the little things. 5 stars
