| - Took the BF here in October. I went here in June but didn't get to actually eat dinner. I just had some oysters and a caeser salad, both of which were good. However, I was much more impressed with their fresh bread rolls, baked fresh, brushed with butter and topped with salt. I also had a bite of my friend's salmon -which was perfectly cooked with a very crispy skin!
Soo... I was REALLY excited to eat at Tom Colicchio's Craft but unfortunately, my meal was just okay. The bf ordered the filet, I had the salmon w/ lentils, and we had a side of gratin potatoes and a caprese salad.
Bread rolls: As good as I remembered the first time. They melt in your mouth.
Caprese salad: good but the ratios were just slightly off
Salmon: Perfectly cooked, but no crispy skin. The lentils were well cooked, especially since I don't ever find them done well in non-Indian restaurants. However, this salmon was nothing spectacular...Not, however much I paid for it spectacular!
Filet: I tried a bite of my bf's filet and it was medium-rare and juicy, but for some reason, I'd prefer to have gone to N9NE. I think it's hard to beat Dallas for steak -compared to Del Frisco's or Bob's or Steve Field's.
Gratin Potatoes: These were really really bad and bland. I think they were made with some leeks and fennel which could have been great but they really messed it up. Yuck.
Service: The last time I was here, we had great service. But this time, it was terrible. We waited so long we had to call for a waiter... We saw many people get served bread rolls before us and we were ignored a majority of the night. Maybe they thought a pair of "kids" shouldn't be eating there...
Would I eat here again? No, I can probably make bread rolls myself... If im in LV and craving steak I'm going to N9NE in the Palms or Strip House in Planet Hollywood.
