After careful thought and debate, I chose to make my reservation at craftsteak....and boy am I glad I did!
Located at the MGM Grand, valeting the car was a cinch. The downside was we had no idea where the place was on the gigantor casino floor. Sign after sign, craftsteak was no where in sight. I finally got BF to ask someone where the place was. Lone and behold, the "Studio Walk" was around the corner from where we entered (near the monorail).
This is definitely NOT a frou frou place. You feel at home here. The dress code varies from person to person, flip flop to flip flop and sport coat to sport coat. The dining area was dimly lit and beautifully decorated.
The service was awesome. Our water glass was never left empty. And the waitstaff was very attentive and always available.
We decided on the wagyu tasting menu, 3 courses for $130 pp:
Starters:
Mixed greens
Roasted Red Peppers - very tasty
Diver Sea Scallops - super WOW!
Prosciutto - another WOW!
Main Course:
Kobe beef rib eye - tender and very flavorful
Kobe beef flat iron - BF's fav
Sides:
Yukon gold potatoes - this didn't sound like anything special, but WOW creamy goodness!
Asparagus
Mixed Mushrooms - just ok
Dessert:
Monkey Bread - OMG!
Assorted ice cream and sorbets
Molten choc lava cake
Strawberries and black berries
This was A LOT of food! Everything was excellent. The 2 hour dining experience is the best I've had. This is also the most money we've spent for dinner. Our bill came out to almost $400! But, well worth it!
Make your reservations online or by phone and keep that confirmation number they give you...otherwise you will be screwed out of the BEST meal ever!
