| - Short version... I would never go back. There are way too many great restaurants in Vegas to go to this one. Don't waste your $$ here.
I have been to many Steakhouses from California to New York. I've been to Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak, Mario Batali's Carnevino, SW Steakhouse, Chops, Flemings, Chart House, Ruth Chris, Morton's, McCormick and Schmick's and many more... my point is... never in my life did I order a steak thinking I was getting 16 oz but it wasn't until when my bill came that I learn my steak was actually 2.25 lbs. We asked the waiter about it, and he was like, "oh yah, we gave you the smallest cut we had and it was 2.25 lb. I thought I had mentioned it." Um no... We wouldn't have ordered it if we had known. Had we known, we would have reduced the number of appetizers we ordered because we were so full, we didn't even touch much of the steak; the $168 piece of meat. (and you can judge for yourself from the picture... lots of fat!)
I know there are a lot of people like us whom are not rich but when in Vegas or on vacation, will splurge one time on a good meal. Every trip I take, I leave room in my budget to splurge on one good restaurant and I have always left feeling, hmmm, I'm glad I tried that. This place left a bad taste in my mouth.
I ordered based on reviews on Yelp, which has never disappointed but this time, I'm really disappointed. Maybe I went with too high of an expectation or maybe if I had order other things, I would have enjoyed it more. I will never know because I will never go back.
If you do go, don't waste your money on these:
Bagels & Lox ($6/bite size): it was no different than going to a sushi restaurant and ordering a flying fish roe.
Cotton candy foie ($8/bite size): it looks pretty but what a waste of a piece of foie gras
Chicharron ($12 huge portion): crispy pork skin... that's all it was. (One of my favorite restaurants in Sacramento is The Kitchen, they make every daily food item taste amazing. One time they served kettle corn popcorn and it was the most amazing kettle corn I've ever tasted. I thought it would be the same with the chicharron but it wasn't. It tasted like the street one I ordered in Mexico for $1).
Smoke and Ice Fresh Oysters ($24 6 pieces): I can go to my local farmers market and buy some oysters for $0.40/piece, shuck it, eat it and it would have tasted the same.
The classic beef tartar ($32 good portion): it was just a ... tartar. People on Yelp said it was the best tartar that they have tasted... I've had much better!
Morcilla Uni ($25 5 pieces): I love uni, but uni with blood sausage, this was disgusting; I couldn't even finish it. The uni didn't look fresh.
Robuchon (butter potatoes) ($19): they weren't kidding about their description: butter, butter, butter, and some potatoes... this was disgusting... if you like eating butter... then you will love this dish.
What was good:
Beef Cheeks ($38): super tender and flavorable
Boar sausage ($23): it was good
I guess I'm just used to going to these restaurants and eating something that I would want to go back for; something that sets them aside from other restaurants. Everything I ate was not bad but I feel like I could have gotten the same thing somewhere else and for cheaper.
