| - This might have been a four star review, but Angry Butcher definitely earns an extra star for its patio seating along the edge of Mystic Falls Park. Decorated for Christmas, this Park may be the most lovely man-made space in Vegas. And in Vegas, that's really saying something. Even if you don't have dinner at Angry Butcher, do go see the decorations and the light show at Mystic Falls.
Even without the patio seating, this is a very nice steak house. I was surprised by some of the low ratings on Yelp, but after reviewing them more closely I paid no attention. Anyone who is complaining about the prices here simply has no idea what a high end steak goes for at most Las Vegas restaurants. Prices here are about 2/3 of what you would pay at a lot of comparable steak houses. And no, your steak doesn't come with a complementary house salad and sides included, because that's how things come at an a la carte restaurant. This isn't Chili's.
My steak, which was a filet, was quite tasty and cooked as I had ordered it. My wife called her shrimp and scallop saute "quite good." We both started with the lobster chowder, and while it isn't the best we have had we both liked it. Our waiter did not speak the most fluent English, but he was relatively quick with things. He did forget to bring the Bearnaise sauce I had ordered, but that error was quickly corrected.
Odds and ends: Our drinks were generous (I would call my scotch a double at most places) and very reasonable ($7 for mine). We were there a little early, so I think we were getting happy hour prices. The bread basket was fresh and quite tasty. Although we sat on the beautiful patio, the interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated as well. The space was neither too crowded nor too noisy, and the sound of the waterfall in the Park was very pleasant. The Sam's Town hotel is a bit off the beaten path (especially for us, since we live on the other side of town), but the parking is convenient and free.
