We have been waiting to try this place for some time so our 8 top of hungry traveling guys head downtown to the 'D" in old Las Vegas at the recommendation of so many. Arrive to the D the old Fitzgeralds Hotel which as been redone but it's still old "SEEDY" vegas as we go to the top of the elevator and right next to the bathroom it seems is along hall with brick entering this very elegant dining establishment. Place is steak house modern with a throwback feel to some extent as we arrive to a nice table inside a curtain which makes it feel private.
Menu is a mix of Italian - heavy on the Various steaks and they are not shall we say light on price points. Servers arrive with complimentary very good chopped marinated eggplant and decent bread with dipping oils and whipped butter. Wine list is really one of the most REASONABLE priced lists I've seen in a long time as it pertains to high end restaurants especially in Vegas. Order two different reds which are both decanted prior to being served very classy.
Move on to food and Appetizers come out VERY QUICKLY .. will simply do the list below.
Wedge Salads with Blue Cheese, sliced red onion and egg are authentic and absolutely delicious.
Shrimp Cocktail well they are fine, nothing special.
Escarole with sausage is outstanding
Italian Sausage & Peppers with Marinara base also a big hit at the table.
Where do things go a little south well the Steaks especially for the price points were disappointing.
Various cuts of meat were tried
Rib Eye -
NY Strip
Filet Mignon
All of them were good don't get me wrong but there are cuts of prime beef then there are well disappointing cuts of prime beef. Their char was non existent and they simply did not get the job done and when your are talking about steaks at 60$ plus per steak they better ring the bell.
With that said sides of baked potato, asparagus and fingerling potatoes with onions were simply fare.
Complimentary platter of pasta in pink sauce thank you for the platter but pasta was over cooked and sauce "PINK" very bland.
2 tiramisu for the table were excellent.
Quite a bit of wait between entrees and appetizers, not servers fault as they were TOP SHELF all night.
Sorta in the wow how can this steakhouse disappoint you when everything else was so good? Not sure but I certainly feel 3 stars is accurate with these price points for beef. Was. Decent but at these prices in this location going to have to pass in the future.
