| - My boyfriend took me here for our 1-year anniversary, and it was fantastic. We both love steak and were staying at the Mirage, which made getting dressed up to go out very easy!
We knew it would be pricey, but I know for the perfect steak it is worth the price. For every steakhouse I base my review on the cut of steak they started with, and how it is cooked. Some places start out with a bad cut of meat and still cook it right, and other places have a beautiful slab of meat that they absolutely destroy. And depending on the repuation of a place, I will order the rareness of my steak differently.
When we had dinner at Stack, I took the risk and ordered my ribeye steak medium. It was called the Tomahawk steak with the bone in. When it came to the table, I was floored... it was a beautiful thick-cut ribeye still attached to the full bone, which extended impressively off the plate about 12" or more! The presentation alone was magnificent. And then the taste was spot on... they used a type of herbed butter, but it did not take away from the taste at all. It was a perfect medium, not too rare and not overcooked. It is places like this that make me want a steak dinner every day!
My boyfriend ordered the fillet... and it was perfectly tender.... almost like butter! I am so glad he shared a bite with me.
We also shared the asparagus with truffle hollandaise which complemented the steak perfectly.
To finish it all off, we had the creme brulee with cherries... it was fantastic! Again, the presentation was so fanciful, as it came in a thin swirly dish in the shape of a slender "S."
They have a decent wine menu and are a must-go steakhouse for whenever we return to Vegas!
