Chris Santos won me over with Vandal in NYC. But, he solidified his reputation with me the second I got up from the table here. The food was absolutely incredible, especially the bone marrow and beef tartar. And the drinks? You just can't get any better. They even indulged me a little bit and made their own rendition of a Rum Runner for me. Much like his other establishments, you can tell a lot of car has been placed into the decor, which provided an elegant, yet moody, vibe throughout the multiple dining rooms.
So, don't be fooled by the (very cool) pawn shop entranceway. It's all part of the experience and only the first stop on your dining experience. If you're ever in Vegas, be sure to stop in. It's not the cheapest by any stretch of the imagination, but you won't be disappointed in the value.
