So, why the two star rating? I've dine at many steakhouses and unfortunately Old Homestead Steakhouse FAILED me.
I was staying the weekend at Caesars Palace and was too exhausted to venture out so i decided to dine at Old Homestead Steakhouse. I passed by it on my way to the Total Rewards counter to receive my monthly vouchers for shows. I thought that the restaurant looked really nice and decided that i would dine here since I LOVE steak.
We were able to be seated quite quickly which was a plus. Our server was also nice but a little slow. He apologize saying that he had a large table to attend to yet the help was quick to clear our table when I still had food on my plate with the fork/knife in my hands. Strange. :(
Food:
Complimentary basket of bread with salted butter. This was yummy.
**Thick-Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon (3 slices) $24; see photo
**Rib Eye Steak 16 oz
**Au Gratin Potatoes
The bacon was way too salty. It's like they tried to season it but didn't sprinkle it all around evenly. I did mention it to the server and instead of taking the 1 1/2 slices of extra SALTED pork, he says "I'll give you a dessert instead to balance the taste." Really? Okay, I just told him that I did not like my $24 dish of 3 slices of bacon that was extra salty. Whatever, I ordered it and I made mention to my server and I do hope he told the chef about it. I also heard the table next to me return their calamari dish because that too was too salty.
So, now about the rib eye. Yes, i eat a lot of meat and Rib Eye is one of my favorite cuts next to Porter House and Tomahawk. I ordered it medium and it came out looking perfectly done. Pink on the inside and charred on the outside. I took a few bites and ummm NOPE... no flavor at all and typically when you bite into a steak you'd be able to savor and taste the meat. I started to wonder if my taste buds were altered because of the salted pork. Regardless that the meat had no flavor, the meat was also chewy. For a $68 steak, I could've gone to another restaurant instead and I wish I did.
Personally, I would not recommend this place or even dine here again. They might've had an off night but after reading other reviews those reviews were not joking.
