| - We are in Vegas, and THIS is fancy dining. Brand Steakhouse is one of the fancy spots that you'll find in the fancy strip casinos. I wouldn't have came here otherwise since I'm not a fancy fan, but this is the time for splurging and rewarding yourself for being an awesome person. My group purchased a prix fixe which included appetizer, entree and dessert.
-=-Beef carpaccio-=- Thin cut slices of raw beef. Here's the kicker, they were topped with truffle slices. These were delicious. We also had tuna tartare at the table, but I preferred this for an appetizer.
-=-Mac cheese-=- I got to try this from a neighbor. It's cheesy and good. Really, the frills here are the bread crumbs on top. While it wasn't unique enough to meet the caliber of gourmet food, I would have gladly scarfed these down in any other situation.
-=-Filet Mignon, rare-=- It was either filet, salmon, or chicken. It came with 2 different sauces, but none that I really liked. The cream sauce was too strong on the milky side, and the pepper sauce had an undesirable after-taste. I ate the filet the way I usually eat my steaks, sauceless. While a filet cut is usually the most tender, for some reason my meat just seemed a bit too tough for my taste....tough meaning too warm of a temperature.
-=-Cheesecake-=- It seemed there was no way to go wrong with the choices of 2 desserts here. I enjoyed this cheesecake thoroughly. It wasn't too sweet and was rather large and fluffy, exactly how I enjoy my cheesecakes.
