| - I will give Caesars this, they know how to grill a steak. Period. This is their thing and the chicken, salmon and whatever other distractions they have on the menu are almost pointless to have on there if you ask me. It's kinda like going to a Japanese sushi joint and asking for a burger, just doesn't work.
The decor is old school, like a scene out of Casino. Seriously. I was expecting Joe Pesci to smash out of a back room and blow everyones head off!!! It is not awful, there is a lot to look at but the cherry red "leather" seats and faux marble pillars everywhere really should be toned down or out...everything else is what you would expect a steak house to be.
I like that the wait staff are more, ahem- mature but I found the waiter serving us was indeed indifferent and seemed like he would rather be somewhere else. He made a stink about us and the other group of people we were with switching seats, clearly indicating that if we move we have to stay where we are...ok whatever, there were only 6 of us and we all pretty much ordered the same thing.
I too agree with the less than stellar onion soup and salad to start, they were simply cheap fillers if you ask me. The starter bread with parm was divine though! I could have eaten the entire basket! But the main, good god, that steak was quite possibly the best I have had in Calgary and I don't know why I have not come here sooner. Rib-eye, ya ya so bloody good. I was not a fan of the potato it came with and didn't like that you don't get a basic veg with your meal, I ordered ala carte and got some carrots which were nice.
The apple pie ala mode was quite generous and my hubby loved it, I had the cheesecake but it was just ok, tasted like the unbaked jello type but hit the spot for a sweet finish. For drinks we had believe it or not, Caesars but they were terrible, for a place called Caesars, you would think that they could get this simple drink right. I hated having to sauce up my own drink. The thought of 75 other people man-handling that bottle of tabasco and Lea and Perrins totally turned me off. Oh and they rimmed the glass with regular table salt, not celery salt so you can imagine how salt-licious it was...bleah! PASS!
Price was alright, about $50 a head not including booze...all in all I would definitely be back, this is one place that makes the steak right. Also, they have valet parking which I didn't know about till after we found street parking.
SKIP the Caesars cocktail. Go for the steak.
