| - I've eaten here twice since grand opening (oysters, smoked oysters, chataeubriand, ribeye, suckling pig, asparagus, roasted corn, wild boar sausage, au gratin potatoes, etc.) Here's the bottom line, the food is good but not great ESPECIALLY for the price ($150-200 / pp for 2-3 pieces of 2.5 lbs of ribeye between 6) and the service is very lacking. I will give you that it's the first week of operation but come on, you don't bring the entree literally 20 minutes before the sides and you don't replace some of the party's silverware and plate ware and not the other halfs.
I will go again in a few months to see if things have improved but until then it's honestly 2 stars compared to it's competition.
My bonafides: I've also eaten at most of the major steak places in Vegas as well as across the country. I've also eaten at Robuchon with Robuchon cooking for our table, Guy Savoy, Latalaier, Alex, Le Cirque, E', etc etc etc.
UPDATE: I took Yassine, the GM, up on his offer for another meal for my friend's deployment going away party. The service was very good which is what you would expect if the GM is arranging your res and he kindly comped some of the meal. The chef sent out some apps: cotton candy, croquettes, chicharron, and we ordered the tartare. Shared the strip steak and pork loin for entrees with a variety of sides. Food again was hit or miss with the pork loin, for example, being very dry and while everyone was very nice, still had some service mishaps with the sides coming out well after the entrees, for example. I gave them another star (understanding that the GM personally invited us back) but they still have a ways to go to compete with others at their price point along the strip. I haven't totally written them off, though.
