| - After reading about this place, I knew it would be something good!
Stripsteak is located in Mandalay Bay, where all the restaurants are, before the Mandalay Bay conference rooms and ballrooms.
When you walk up (hopefully with reservations as this place gets BUSY!) there is a full bar with a seating area. Luckily, we were able to get a table without reservations at 7:00pm on a Monday night. They sat us at a nice table, right in the middle of the action. It's a tad loud in there so bring your listening skills.
After you are seated and given the menu, they bring out three little containers with french fries and dipping sauces. Now these are not your McDonald's fries. These are the most amazing fries you will ever have.
The first one had french fries with old bay seasoning and a mustard herb dipping sauce.
The second one had french fries with oregano and ketchup.
The third one was knock-your-socks off amazing. French fries in duck fat with truffle dipping sauce. Are you fucking kidding me?!?! The minute we all tried these we all looked at each other and said "these are goddamn delicious!"
All three had fantastic flavor with good crisp on the outside.
But yea- duck fat + french fries + truffle = smiling faces.
Our table ordered:
Starters-
Oysters (in a half shell)- east coast style. They ask you if you want them east coast or west coast style. The difference? east coast are "larger and briny-er", west coast are "smaller and sweeter" according to our server.
The oysters were delicious! They had came with cocktail sauce, lemon, and other toppings. The cocktail sauce had some nice horseradish in it for the perfect combination.
Wedge Salad- bleu cheese, bacon & polenta croutons, red chili cucumbers. I was told that it was disappointing as the bleu cheese dressing didn't have any bleu cheese chucks and tasted "like it came out of the store"
Main-
18 oz. Dry-Aged Bone-In Rib Eye- heard it was delicious. They cook the steaks on this beautiful open flame wood burning grill. You can watch the chefs using the wheel up and down to get the steaks. Heard that the marble was good and had great char on the steak. Nothing fancy just cooked perfect (medium-rare plus)
16 oz. Kansas City Strip- great char, great flavor, all round good steak.
Diver Scallops- which is what I ordered. Four deliciously tender, cooked perfectly, great flavored scallops. Seared nicely.
Sides-
Creamed Spinach w/ bacon- I LOVE creamed spinach and this was up to par, but nothing crazy. The bacon doesn't really add anything to the dish.
Roasted Maitake Mushrooms- great roasted mushrooms. Not much else to say. They are always a good side to seafood and steaks.
We had a couple of glasses of wine (a cab-combination) that was REALLY GOOD and I would order all day long!
I cannot WAIT to go back for more duck fat and truffle and oysters and more food in general!
