| - Ambiance, yeah it's got lots of that to make up for the mediocre steaks. My wife and I went with two other couples expecting a 4-5 star restaurant quality steak. My friend was especially exited on trying their wagyu beef, which he has had before at other steak restaurants. Overall I believe everyone was a bit disappointed in the quality of the steak. We had a late reservation, 9:30 PM, so we could dine after a show. I ordered the bone in rib-eye which is my go-to steak of choice at any fine steakhouse. I ordered it medium-rare with the Pepper-Style dipping sauces...because they sounded interesting (not that a steak should ever need sauce); the steak arrived about 1/2" thick and cooked all the way through...I would say medium-well. No one came by to see if our steaks were prepared correctly, the lighting was dark and there was no offering of a small flashlight to see...so I used my phone to double check an it was cooked all the way through for sure...no pink. This was unacceptable so I told the waiter. The waiter then brought the manager over, she was very unapologetic and said that that is how medium-rare should look. This was funny to me...there was no sear on the steak, it looked like it was baked in the oven or something (everyone at the table said I should send it back because of the lack of sear). Anyhow, she finally agrees to get me another steak...I promptly say to make sure that it's seared on the outside like everyone else's. She actually agrees with me. A few minutes later she arrives very sorry to say that this is the last rib-eye they have. At this point everyone is almost done and I didn't want to bother as it took way to long to get the steaks to the table in the first place.
I believe that steak was the last one for a reason...it was tough and thin and had a bunch of connective tissue running through it...not like any prime steak I have ever had. My wife had the filet mignon, she liked it with the Chimichurri preparation...I tried some and agreed it was a good filet and the prep had a good flavor, another person had the filet prepared "Simply Grilled" and they said it was only OK. Both filets were prepared as asked. My buddy ordered the Snake River Farms Gold Grade Special Cut, which was advertised as an "American Wagyu Beef", now my friend has had the real thing from Japan and it's quite rich, and has had, and actually preferred, an Austrailan Wagyu to the Japaneses style that he had had in the past...It came out and was jsut ok like the other steaks...nothing special at all.
The best thing we had was the Ahi Tuna Tartare and the Wild Salmon Ceviche...both of these starters were fantastic. The sides that came with the main course were lame, the mushrooms had no flavor and the Tater Tots were uninteresting...Everyone like the Twice Baked Potato...I did not try it.
Overall the service was 2 stars, the Ambiance was 4 stars, the food was 2.5 stars.
Stick to SW Steakhouse if your are at the Wynn.
