| - The Barrymore is reminiscent of the old days of Vegas, when steakhouses were cheap and the dining rooms were filled with cigar smoke. In reality, the steakhouse is relatively new and reimagined in the early part of this decade. Found within the Royal Resort next to the Convention Center, it's known for its signature cocktails and reasonably priced steak. This spot has been on my radar since I've been trying to make my rounds at all the Vegas steakhouses.
As my parents were in town, I thought they would absolutely love this place. Their visit also happened to coincide with restaurant week, which featured many items from their regular menu. Appetizers included the escargot, smoked bacon, and the grilled octopus ceviche. The escargot had quite a unique presentation with the snails presented inside potatoes that served as cups and lathered in garlic butter. The plating felt so outdated and tacky. As with most escargot, garlic butter dominated the rubbery texture of the snail. I was pleasantly surprised by how tender the octopus was. Paired with the mango salsa and plantain chips, the ceviche was my favorite of the three. The smoked bacon was just that - very smokey in flavor. If you're a fan of thick, center-cut bacon, this is for you.
For entrees, the main courses featured either the wagyu flat iron steak, the surf, surf, & surf, which had their Chilean sea bass, grilled shrimp, and a lobster tail, or the Dean Martin, which had an 8 oz. filet mignon and roasted bone marrow in place of the fish and shrimp. The wagyu flat iron had an amazing flavor and I loved the Argentinian rub and chimichurri sauce. The filet lacked the flavor of the wagyu flat iron, but it did come with a bearnaise sauce. My favorite of the evening was the Chilean sea bass. It had a perfect sear and the flakes of fish were huge. Portions for all the entrees were generous. My least favorite of the protein was actually the lobster tail. I found it to be overcooked and too rubbery in texture.
Dessert featured a classic chocolate layer cake with vanilla ice cream and a cheesecake coupe, a deconstructed cheese cake with brown butter streusel and orange cremeux. A piece of white chocolate sat atop the cup and melted as the server poured warm strawberry sauce over the dessert for presentation. Dinner was wonderful and I came away stuffed. I didn't even mention the assortment of freshly baked breads including a pretzel roll, ciabatta, and a Parmesan crisp. Their cocktail menu features many signature libations including their best known cocktail, The Barrymore, which is jack, blood orange liqueur, orange bitters, vermouth, orange marmalade, and orange zest. The prominent flavor, as you can imagine, is orange. If you enjoy cheap house wine, check-in on Yelp gets you a free glass of wine.
