| - Sorry to ruin the 5 star streak, but I have my own opinions. To start off, what can I say. The place is nice and everything is what it should be for a steak house in Las Vegas. Their menu is short giving you a few options, although it's short it has all the necessary items. They have everything from Ruth's favorite, family sized sides, big and petite steaks, kids menu, and deserts. I ordered the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, 40 oz porterhouse for two (medium rare), and lobster Mac n Cheese as a side. Let's start with the shrimp cocktail. It came with cocktail sauce, salad, and 4 jumbo sized shrimp. The shrimp with plump and soft. Supremely sweet and perfect with the sauce as it's sidekick. Next the main event the steak. I got the porterhouse because it gives me two different cuts of steaks. The filet and strip. I must say presentation was pretty awful for this dish. The steak was cut up with 3 chunks on either side and had this massive bone just nuzzled in between. The steak was so dry that I unfortunately had to dip the steak in A1, one side was more brown than the other, it was ice cold when I bit into it. The steaks color transitioning of medium rare was totally uneven and instead a target color type of steak instead of a sea of red. Lastly the lobster Mac n cheese. The presentation was average. What more can you expect from Mac and cheese. The macaroni itself was good, however a little to soft and past al dente. The cheese was completely set and not gooey when it got to my table. However the star of this dish, the lobster should go back into the sea. First of all, the lobster was not fresh. You were biting the sea instead of a succulent plump and sweet piece of lobster. Overall overcooked pasta, cold cheese, and fishy lobster do not go well together. The service here is spot on, so is the setting. What makes this place deserve a 2 star is the food and the price that comes with it.
