| - I know, I'm super late to the Vegas steakhouse party, but to my bf's delight, we've been making up for lost time this year. On this last trip, we tried Wolfgang Puck's CUT in the Palazzo.
Service in the lounge area was, to use a word popularized by Beyoncé, flawless. Perfectly smooth symphony of waiters tending to our party of two.
Foods:
-- Breads: pretzel roll was decedent with their Rosemary butter, onion focaccia was all flavor without being dense, yummy, long cheesy breadsticks, & sharply-flavored cheese breads.
-- pork belly appetizer: the meaty parts were excellent (I don't eat the fatty parts)
-- lobster, crab, shrimp cocktail tower: way too much going on; simple mounds of undressed, fresh seafood would have been better than throwing the lot together with avocado, sauces, savory pudding, etc.,
-- bone-in ribeye, (aged 21 days) for him: generous 20 oz., cooked perfectly medium-rare, nicely grilled.
-- petite filet (8 oz) for me: cooked perfectly on the inside, a little more charred on the outside than I would've like
-- sauces ($2 each): house steak sauce was quite sweet, peppercorn was delicious. A variety of mustards were brought out for our steaks, an Austrian tradition. The violet mustard, which had a hint of a wine taste, especially brought out amazing flavors when added to our steaks.
-- sides: tempura onion rings (holy shit, these are good) & mashed potatoes (creamy/buttery)
-- desserts: banana cream pie (only so-so) & baked Alaska (he really enjoyed the meringue.)
Price of our food coma (not including tip): $240.
