| - First, let me say it makes me sad to write this review. I have been telling everyone for years that this is my favorite restaurant in the world. Which is quite a statement. Always eat here when in Vegas. This last trip was kinda special for me, as I brought someone who had never been to Vegas before and really wanted to show them the Vegas that a lot of people don't get to see. Having already told them that this was all time favorite restaurant, I made reservations before I left home. Reservations were for a Tuesday at 7pm. We arrived early and were seated immediately. We were sat in the bar area, next to another couple. I was upset, because I was trying to make a good impression and here we are in the noisy bar. I so wanted to get up and complain, but didn't want to look stupid in front of my guest. I ordered the short ribs, which are always amazing. This time they were beyond terrible. The entire bottom layer was pure fat, which gave the rest of meat a grease flavor. The broth like gravy they come in tasted like vinegar. I could have cried. I just bit my tongue and tried to have a good time, but I was so embarrassed. My guest had the surf and turf and loved the filet, but said the lobster was rubbery. Couldn't wait to just leave. I spend a lot of money dining out, and a $264.00 meal for two before tip doesn't bother me at all. But my food was so bad, and the table was so bad, I would have been happier in the food court. I am going back to Vegas in 3 months and I will go back one more time. It is hard to give up on a place that has been your favorite for so long. But I think I am done with the short ribs, they were so gross I have lost my taste for them.
