| - This is a tough one. Do I rate it relative to the price? Or does price even come into play in a place like this?
First off: The MEAT! This is definitely the most important measure of a prime steakhouse, so I'll start there. In our party of 4, we all ordered the most expensive steak on the menu ($150/each, New Zealand Wagyu beef). We were assured by the waiter that it would be the most amazing, melt-in-your-mouth steak that any of us had ever tasted and that we would notice a huge difference from their $40-$60 "normal" steaks.
The Wagyu beef was amazing, but nowhere near $150 worth of amazing. Our waiter insisted that medium was the proper temperature for this particular steak and I WISH I had gone with my gut instinct and ordered it medium-rare. I thought it was slightly overdone. I also wish at least one of us would have opted for a $50 steak so that we could have done a side by side comparison. Overal, I'd give it 4 stars, but would drop it to 3 stars relative to the price tag.
The setting: beautiful, classy, high-end steakhouse. It's a bit noisy, but I like that, since it gives the place a homey, comfy, vibe where you feel free to let your hair down and enjoy your meal. The service was fantastic, until the end of the night when we had to wait around for 20 minutes after finishing our dessert.
The booze: The alcohol list was very impressive, but we were in no condition to partake, because we all had the "bottle flu" from the night before.
The sides: salads were phenomenal!! The iceberg wedge was adorned with amazing dressing and perfect bleu cheese chunks. It also had a slab of bacon on the side that must have been at least 1/8 of a pound. Nice! The crab soup was good, not great. Spicy shrimp cocktail was wonderful with ginormous shrimp and perfectly spiced sauce. Au Gratin potatoes were perfection, although a very small portion. Lobster mac and cheese was good, but nothing to write home about. Asparagus was perfectly prepared and the black truffle shavings added a nice, earthy, flavor.
Dessert: you MUST order the funnel cakes! These things are stunning! They're fun. They're delicious. They come with strawberries almost as big as your fist. They're a great value at $18. We couldn't finish them.
Overall: 3 stars it is. Our bill was just over the $1,000 mark for four of us, with ZERO alcohol. I can't give this place 4 stars, given that pricetag. The Wagyu was great, and I'm glad we tried it, but I would never order it again. I would certainly go back to SW, but I've had equally impressive experiences at many other Vegas steakhouses for a much better value.
