| - I'd give this place probably 3.5 stars if it was at a slightly lower price point, but where it is, you expect better food, service, drinks and ambience for the money. A tip for anyone who happens across my review while considering Center Cut; if you're staying at the Flamingo, check the check-in coupon book that most people toss on the dresser as there's typically a 20% off coupon in there, which helps bring the value up a bit. Those not staying but Total Rewards players might have success in getting one of these books from the nice people at the TR desk; no guarantees but I've seen it work.
Okay, drinks, like another review I happened to read, don't get a mojito here; sweet, weak and pricey.
Onto the food; perhaps other people have a different taste for it, but what I thought was a very unique accompaniment to the filet is a bone marrow still in the bone, or removed and served as a side. I ate it, would probably eat it again, but nothing about the taste or texture really made me think hey I'd pay extra for this or will seek it out in the future, so my opinion is that it didn't really add to the meal once I actually tried it.
The tuna entree was not a stand out; have had similar in many places, and probably for slightly less.
As far as ambience; it's very open, meaning loud and not private, both from other diners, as well as people strolling past to/from the Linq or casino floor since the hallway to those, and the pool, goes right past. Service was average.
So I'm not really too disappointed in the place, but for the price, you could definitely find better values in Vegas when you're getting into the $80+/pp range for people who have drinks with their meal.
