| - 3.5 stars. This place has a secret among gourmet dining establishments in Vegas with a value almost unmatched to any degree as far as I know. And that is their Cut of the Week menu, which serves a salad, meat dish, 2 side dishes, a dessert, and unlimited wine (1 red, 1 white) for about $50. I mean, just a single steak on their regular menu (or any high end steakhouse for that matter) costs that much. The menu I got was:
Salad
RIESLING POACHED PEARS / HUMBOLDT FOG GOAT CHEESE MOUSSE / CARAMELIZED SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE
Main Course
CHERRY WOOD SMOKED RIB EYE STEAK
Sides
ROASTED GARLIC POTATO PURÉE
SAUTÉED SWISS CHARD
Dessert
HONEY COMB CRÈME CARAMEL
White: CHATEAU MONTFORT / VOUVRAY / DEMI SEC / LOIRE VALLEY / FRANCE / 2009
Red: FABRE MONTMAYOU / CABERNET SAUVIGNON / PATAGONIA / ARGENTINA / 2009
I think everything was pretty tasty, except for the steak, unfortunately. It tasted dried and overcooked, even though I asked for medium-rare. Kind of unfortunate as I really wanted to like the place. I can't help but wonder whether all their steaks are the same quality as what I had, or how much more better their regular steaks may be... But maybe I shouldn't be complaining for the price I paid. The service was good, and the place was not crowded on a Saturday night. I still have to give the place kudos for offering such a great deal in an city bent on squeezing every last penny out of you. Keep in mind they're closed on Sundays and Mondays.
