| - Overall, the service and food were good. However, for the price you pay and the caliber I would expect from Wolfgang Puck, I was disappointed in the reason you go to a steakhouse: the meat! I'll start with the pros, though:
Pros: Excellent service. I had to wait for my party in the cocktail area and was promptly served bar snacks like duck confit popcorn, homemade salt and vinegar chips, olives, and a glass of wine. After we were seated, the waitstaff was very attentive, took care of all of my food allergies, and we were served in a timely manner.
The sides and appetizers were incredible. The Crab Louie, butter lettuce salad, mushrooms, and creamy polenta were among our favorites. The cocktails and wine list were excellent as well. It was the best Cosmo we had the entire trip and the best pinot noir!
Cons: The steak. I don't get it. It's a steakhouse and when you're paying $85+ for a Wagyu steak, you'd expect top notch preparation. Our steaks tasted like lighter fluid. It was Pittsburgh style, so it was charred on the outside, but instead of being searing in butter, it just tasted like gasoline. I didn't even finish my 8 oz filet and neither did others in our party.
Overall, I was disappointed, especially considering I frequent the Cut in Beverly Hills quite often. I would try another steak house (of which there are numerous in the Palazzo/Venetian alone!).
