| - Yelp let us down this time. I debated between 1 and 2 stars but settled on 2 because the steak (reason we came here) was good. Ambiance was OK but we made a reservation and were seated in the bar area. This was annoying. Another couple sat down next to us and complained about it and were re-seated at a table. So I guess if you complain they give you a better table? The restaurant wasn't full (7PM on a Saturday night), so I'm not sure why we were seated in the bar area with a reservation.
Appetizers: We got shrimp cocktail and lobster bisque soup. Soup was good, big chunks of lobster in it, shrimp coctail was good but size of shrimp was very small considering the price.
We ordered all of our food when we sat down and told our waitress that we were in a hurry and were very hungry, so please bring the food as fast as possible. We then waited an hour for our steaks. I didn't like how the menu had two options for steaks - grilled or roasted, the roasted was 20% more and our waitress offered very little information about the difference between the two. Here is my take - I don't know what is the best way to cook a steak - I think the restaurant should have their method and sell it as the best method. We ordered one of each thinking we could try each others to see the difference. Unfortunately, the waitress brought us two of the same steaks and when we figured out they weren't what we ordered, there was no offer to bring another one, or anything other than a meek apology from our waitress.
Steaks were good, but mine was luke warm, like it had been sitting for 15 minutes warm.
Got the broccolini and gratin potato for sides, both were very good.
Each had a glass of the house Pino and was good but pricey @ $17 / glass.
Ordered the apple vanilla crisp for desert and it was fantastic but way overpriced @ $15.
Total before tip was $250. Very disappointing experience, much better options on the strip, not sure how this place got such high marks.
