| - First the positives: They did a nice job refurbishing the decor from the previous resturuant that was initially here. The service was very good. The prices are very reasonable for a high end steakhouse.
Now the negatives: My dinning partner and I ordered the lobster tails and NY Steak. Both entrees were good. However, most higher end steakhouses season their steaks perfectly, so that there is no need to put salt and pepper on the steak. Unfortunately, the steak we had lacked the proper seasoning. But once we added salt and pepper, it was ok. The sides were below par: mash poataoes came out luke warm, and i have frequently tasted much better. Sautéed mushrooms were a little bland. Lobster Macroni and cheese was dry and lacked the amount of lobster you usually find in this type of dish. Of course, the biggest problem with this resturuant is, that there are so many great steakhouses in Vegas, that you really have to do some extrodinary things to stand out from the pack....Unfortunately, Cornerstone does not do this. If your looking for a good modestly priced high end steakhouse, then I would recommend Goldcoast's sister property, The Orleans, and eat at their Alder & Birch Steakhouse (the food is much better, and prices are inline with Cornerstone). But if money is no object, then I would recommend one of the folllowing resturuants: Wynn SW Steakhouse, Del Frisco's, or Charlie Palmer (but again, these resturuants are much more expensive than Cornerstone or Alder & Birch). The bottom line is, that although Cornerstone is ok, there are better steakhouses out there within the same price range.
