  • I had heard about the great steakhouse at the South Point and had always ignored the chatter because my other dining experiences there weren't so great. When I learned more about it my interests were immediately piqued. After an afternoon at the movies and being horribly underdressed I popped in expecting to just see the menu and return when dressed more appropriately. The staff was so gracious and encouraged and welcomed so in so we could feel comfortable in our jeans and comfy movie sweaters (ugh I know!) We decided to stay for dinner and our experience began. This is slow-paced eating, meant to be savored so don't stop in if you're in a rush. You can however come in starving since the first thing they do after taking your drink order is bring you a huge plate of crudités and pickled delicacies including hard boiled quail eggs and jicama slices along with pumpernickel and crackers and other little goodies. I had the escargot (served en croute) which was amazing. It reminded me of Cafe Nicole ages ago with all the garlic butter and tender snails - yum! Then I opted for the filet and so did my guest, sharing the asparagus and glazed carrots. I make better carrots at home but the asparagus was pretty special and as a self-proclaimed (but completely accurate!) bernaise connoisseur it is the best in town lol. They even compliment the meal with a sorbet/palate cleanser which you rarely see outside of 5+ course pre-fixes anymore. After dinner came the giant fruit bowl and Belgian chocolates since we skipped dessert, then after dinner mints to boot! My favorite part of the place is that it's quiet but not stuffy in the least, the staff is courteous but doesn't take themselves too seriously. It seems like the kind of place where you can have a memorable meal but not feel too badly if you ended up drinking too much and stumbling out lol -- that kind of old school money vibe. It's not trendy and judging by presentation it's not trying to be, the food is top quality and straightforward. Speaking of top quality, as usual, Mr. Mina doesn't mess around with many of his items flown in specifically for the day. Examples include NY cheesecake from Carnegie Hall, Key Lime pie from Florida, clams from so and so.... get the drift? There are some amazing steakhouses here in town but this place has an easy elegance about it and certain attention to detail that's tough to beat. Don't come on a budget but I'd rather have one incredible, memorable cuisine than a week's worth of forgettable and/or mundane food.
