| - I had heard from several people what a great steakhouse the Golden Steer is. So one Tuesday night, with Groupon in hand, the hubby and I ventured out to not the best neighborhood in town and tried it out for dinner. After walking past the neighboring seedy bar (the one that had signs saying "Karaoke With Porn Stars" plastered on the window), we walked into the Golden Steer. We were immediately welcomed and noticed the bar was bustling. The decor/ambience - dark, wood paneling, cowboy oil paintings, big horns on each wall, red pleather booths, staff in tuxedos - classic or cheesy? I can't decide. In comparison to the polished, popular places on the strip, I'll be nice and say vintage Vegas.
The lobster bisque was thick, heavy and creamy, and not in a good way. Consistency resembled ... plaster mix.
I ordered the NY Strip. Cooked perfectly. Very good. The hubby's rib eye was a little overcooked. But was ok. We've definitely had better for about the same price range in places like Mortons or Ruths Chris.
Overall, the whole experience was ok. Service was good. Not sure if we would eat here again though, but I'm glad we tried out it out, at least to experience a little "old Vegas".
