| - This is my final update as I have now experienced all that Andiron has to offer. A true 5 star experience this time. We started at the bar area for a surprisingly nice HH. Until 7pm (very late for Vegas, they offer half off beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. They also had $1 oysters all day on tuesdays. The oysters were a little small but for a $11 and a great dipping sauces I can survive. As usual, the cocktail I ordered, the Manhattan, was exceptional. The wine selection was very nice by the glass as well.
We then sat down for dinner and ordered the appetizer, dinner, dessert option for about $40, plus a wine pairing for $10 extra. The wine didn't really "pair" as we ordered two different appetizers and two different entrees and got the same white then red selections, but still for $10 and about a 4-5oz pour per meal (2 total), I thought it was a nice accompaniment. The meal began with some fresh cornbread which was very good. We then had the squash soup and caesar salad for appetizers, pasta and rib for dinner, and the donuts and lemon pie for dessert. We also added brussel sprouts as a side, which although perhaps the best part of the meal, was overkill as the portion sizes are solid without ordering another side. The salad was good, not great, but the squash soup was very nice and creamy; great for dipping. Both entrees were quite good with nice sauces and big portions. The desserts, especially the lemon pie, were outstanding. The meal ended with a complimentary tart which was the best dessert of the 3 and just too small as it left me wanting more.
You will be thoroughly content and full after this meal. Especially for the price, you can't go wrong with this tasting option as many of the dishes I was going to order anyways were options here. Our only issue with the dinner was that we didn't want dessert but were unable to maneuver around the meal and either remove a dessert and add an appetizer, or upgrade an entree. One of the best restaurants in Vegas.
