| - Decided tonight to break out the restaurant.com certificates and we ended up here for steak. I wouldn't say this was a completely awful meal but there were some weird stuff going on that bothered me. However, this is the cheapest steakhouse meal I've eaten since we moved to town last October.
First of all, I loved that when we walked in they were playing 80's alternative that I still listen to on repeat every day such as Smiths, Depeche Mode, Kajagoogoo, and all that good stuff in the lounge that played into the restaurant. I'd go here just for drinks in the lounge if that's what they play all the time. That music is the bomb.
Then we sat down and ordered drinks, I had a Ketel One Martini, which was decent, and they served us pretzel bread with mustard butter. I have a weakness for pretzel bread, its my favorite. The mustard butter was kinda neat too, but it wasn't amazing. It gave a nice little mustardy bite to my bread that actually made me dip into the bread basket more than once which I don't normally do.
Next, we ordered the caesar salad with pizza croutons. I was going to just get the normal salad with vinaigrette, but husband was curious about the pizza croutons. The croutons were toasted bread with a small layer of melted cheese on them and some italian/pizza seasonings. It was unique and nice but not the best caesar I've had by far. The dressing was nice and light and not too creamy.
We ended up sharing this dish called the "Rare Steak Trio for Two," which was their full size 10 ounce fillet, a huge 16 ounce New York Strip AND the 10 ounce Kobe Flat Iron for only $80 bucks. What a good deal that ended up being because there was so much meat we couldn't come close to finishing it. Both the fillet and the NY strip were pretty good and thick and very rare. Next time I'll go with the medium rare though.
However, the big disappointment of the night that still perplexes me is the Kobe Flat Iron. It was really awful. So bad that my husband and I both took a bite and didn't touch it the rest of the evening. It was tough, and the chimichurri rub on it tasted like complete ass. I've had kobe flat iron a few other places before, and I don't understand how kobe can ever be tough. You'd have to really screw it up to have it come out that bad. It was rare and should have been tender and flavorful, so I can't figure out how this restaurant actually served a tough kobe flat iron, unless it really wasn't authentic kobe beef! The server saw we hadn't touched the kobe and asked if it was ok and my husband, being a huge wuss that night, didn't say anything. So I got stuck being the mean one and said "well, it was really tough and didn't taste good." They tried to comp us dessert but we declined so they comped our cocktails which was nice.
We ended up getting out of there only paying $80 bucks with our $50 dollar restaurant.com certificate which is a steal for a Las Vegas Steakhouse. I would come back but I wouldn't touch the kobe flat iron with a 10 foot pole.
