| - My experience at Craftsteak was the worst I have had at an upscale steakhouse. It had nothing to do with the service, because the service was fine. It was the food that made my visit unpleasant.
The meal started off with rolls being served. They looked like Hawaiian roles, but not as sweet...and not as good.
Next was the main course. I ordered the bone in rib-eye and a side of the gratin potatoes. I asked for my steak to be medium-well, and it came out looking charred to a crisp. The server even said "rib-eye well...errrrr...medium-well" as he presented the plate to me. I immediately cut into the steak to see that the inside was slightly red, and it was just the outside that was extra crispy. Most of the steak tasted OK, but there were parts where it was so over cooked that it reminded me of eating a burnt marshmallow. It had that texture of being burnt to a bubbling state. I ate as much of the steak as I could, and tried to avoid as much of the burnt areas as possible.
The gratin potatoes were good, but nothing special. They came out hot, and the serving size was pretty good.
About a hour after I finished eating at Craftsteak, I had a terrible stomach ache. Granted, I had been in Vegas for a couple of days and my stomach was churning a bit from all of the buffets and drinks...but this was a different type of pain. It felt like I had a 16 pound bowling ball dropped on my stomach, and the feeling was with me ALL night. I will not be eating here again. The prices are astronomical for the experience and the sub par food. There are just so many steakhouses in Vegas that it is not worth it to tolerate a bad one.
