| - The fiance and I treated ourselves to a fabulous dinner at Bavette's for our big date night out in Vegas. Bavette's is an incredible steakhouse and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It's located in the former Monte Carlo soon to be Park MGM.
A sneaky door with a Bavette sign located on the casino floor will take you to this phenomenal steakhouse. Upon entering, you'll find yourself in a cozy, well decorated lounge inspired by everything Gatsby. Dim lighting from Tiffany lamps, endless velour, tasteful brass finishes and more will take you back in time. It took less than 5 minutes for us to be seated, and we were presented with a cozy table near the bar.
My favorite part about this place is their corkage fee policy. Typically the corkage fee is $50, but if you are willing to share a glass of wine with another patron in the room your fee is waved. Of course we did this - we could not not take advantage. We were more than happy to share a glass of our Cabernet Sauvignon with a fellow diner - and watching their reaction when they received the glass was priceless.
Now, the food. Everything we ate was delicious - it rivals any steak dinner we've had in NYC. We shared the mixed green and apple salad ($16) and it was more than enough for the two of us. We shared everything else as well. The bone-in ribeye (medium rare) was phenomenal ($85). The steak was perfectly cooked with a flavorful crust and melted in our mouths. It came with bernaise sauce, but the steak was so flavorful we did not use it. We had a difficult time selecting sides as there were so many delightful options, but we were not disappointed with the brussels sprouts ($14) and the buttery mashed potatoes ($13). Out of the two, the spuds won.
Service was good overall - we were not rushed and took our time enjoying our meal. The restaurant has only been open a few months, but I'm sure it's going to be one of the hottest spots in Vegas once construction at the hotel is finished. Beat the crowd and check it out!
