| - Located inside the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in the Downtown area is Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse. Classy w/ "Old Vegas" ambiance and style.
To call this a "Steakhouse" is a disservice. This restaurant is flawless fine dining.
From the food, to the service to the fine details everything here is perfection.
My wife and I dined here on our recent trip to Vegas and had the absolute best meal I've ever experienced in the more than 14 years that we've been coming to Vegas regularly. Every course was perfect.
Honestly, we didn't even have reservations upon arrival at 6 pm and actually were somewhat under dressed upon entering but the hostess was kind and graciuosly seated us almost immediately.
Our meal:
Appetizers:
Soup of the Day: Chicken Tortilla - Rich and smoky w/ fresh grilled corn, cotija cheese & fresh toasted tortilla strips.
It was the perfect balance of layered spice, crunch and smoothness.
Spinach Salad - Seriously the best sald I've EVER had!
Warm, fresh leaf spinach w/ bacon, chopped eggs, kalamata olives & artichoke hearts served w/ a citrus honey vinaigrette. This could have served as the perfect light entree on it's own.
Entrees:
Jumbo Fried Shrimp with Broccoli and Mashed Potatoes - My wifes entree. Classic ingredients done flawlessly. She loved it. Simple, seasoned and cooked to perfection
Sea Bass A La Nage - My dish and our servers suggestion.
Chilean Sea Bass poached and topped w/ jumbo lump crab meat and paired with roasted baby vegetables. My favorite course of the night.
Dessert :
Croissant Bread Pudding w/ Caramel Ice Cream - Another of our servers suggestion as a must try dish and It was everything he promised and more.
Layers of Croissant stacked, combined and plated into a delicious bread pudding with cinnamon and caramel sauce and paired with a toffee brittle with freshly made caramel ice cream. The actual plating itself resmbled a swan with a caramel ice cream body with a toffee brittle neck and head perched on a crunchy tuile and balanced with the bread pudding sliced into a triangle alongside.
Overall, a wonderful meal and one we plan on repeating again soon the very next time we're in town. I especially can't wait to enjoy the Spinach Salad, Sea Bass & Bread Pudding time and again.
