| - The hubby and I were wandering around Fremont st thinking of what/where to eat. This has been on our "try" list for a while. So we decided to stop in. Even though it was dinner time on the weekend, we didn't have a wait.
They seated us in the dining room facing main st. I have to say, Slotzilla is a monstrosity & eyesore and not a great view for the steakhouse. Even worse, from the restaurant you get the worst view of the eyesore-the back of it. Ughhh. I know it's not the restaurants fault & no stars deducted on this note.
The service was decent throughout the night. Our server was attentive, brought the food, and followed up. There were a couple of ladies (the broads? Lol) - not Oscars customary showgirls- walking around talking to diners. They asked if we're local, do we know why it's called oscars, do you know who Oscar is, etc. Im not a huge fan of being bothered while I'm eating out. But maybe the tourists get a kick out of the history tidbits.
The food was pretty good, not 5 star quality, but good nonetheless. They serve complimentary onion bread for starters. I had the bone in ribeye ($68) and my husband had the pork chops. Both were tasty, but the ribeye cost rivals strip competitors who are offering a higher quality steak for comparable prices. I would rather go to delmonicos for the same price. The price on the pork chops was reasonable given the quality though. For sides (served in shareable portions a la carte) , we opted for the super healthy options of au gratin and mac & cheese. Both were good, but next time we'll get one and share it.
Overall, the steakhouse is a decent option on Fremont street. But not the best one in town. I wouldn't avoid it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here either. If I do go back I'll try something else easier on the wallet to see if it's worth it (the bone in ribeye was the most expensive cut of meat on the menu).
