| - Where to begin another high end steak house in Las Vegas is like adding insult to injury. Staying at Caesars Place for a Work conference, and after having some finger food at the corporate event 3 of us decided to head for a real meal just off the Casino at the recently opened Old Homestead of sister fame NYC / AC. I have dinned in both Atlantic City and New York and both have been exceptional. With so many choices for me here, I was reluctant but excited to get that Steak they have become so accustomed to delivering.
OK checked into the hotel went to the concierge and asked that he make us a reservation for 4 for 8:45PM they tell me 9PM no problem. He will call me if there is an issue, I tip him and off I go to my conferences and social events. 8:45 arrive to the restaurant and no reservation can be found, under no name. Strike 1. The girl is apologetic but nothing she can do for me it's simply not there. She says give me a few I'll see what I can do. Lucky to find a high top bar table round barely big enough for 3 but we put 4 here rather than wait for a dining table that could be 45 minutes or so. Waiter was good and took our drink orders, and brought some fresh bread with some pretzel sticks in it. Pretty good and enjoyable.
Order of Onion rings were ordered for an appetizer along with two salads. Vine Ripened tomatoes & red onions and INE RIPENED TOMATO AND HOMESTEAD CHOPPED 12TOMATO, ONION, MUSHROOM, PEPPERS, HARICOT VERTS, BLACKOLIVES, CRUMBLED BLUE CHEESE AND BASIL VINAIGRETTE Large portions on the salads easily split able and the onion rings were ok "$12.00" but nothing you can't find at a good sports bar. Salads were very good and by far the best thing all night.
Dinner is served: New York Strip $54.00 "Charred Medium Rare" No char and although this was one tender cut of meat it had absolutely no flavor whatsoever? Where was the dry rub? Sea salt? simply non descript but certainly not a bad piece of meat just tasteless. The filet didn't fare much better 10 Oz $48.00 again Medium rare and filet not having much flavor to begin with was also lacking something. The Rib Eye Gotham Cut on the bone $54.00 22 Oz was the best of the 3 but there was entirely too much bone vs. meat and not a $54.00 cut of steak.
What really was a disaster were the two side dishes $12.00 each Garlic Mashed potatoes were like MUSH. They were flat, tasteless and runny a complete and utter embarrassment. The Sauteed mushrooms $12.00 were like something found in your backyard that you decided to throw in a pan with some olive oil and sauté real quick. Another complete and utter cluster ****.
No Deserts were wanted or tried. I am trying to objective here but for the price points you simply can't have tasteless steaks regardless of the quality and presentation and the disaster side dishes put this on the not ever again list for me at least not in Vegas. Del Frisco's and the Palm for that matter 100 yards down on the left in the forum shops are much better dining options. El Paso for this traveler.
