Oh what a disappointment for our last dinner in Vegas. I am a loyal Monte Carlo player and thoroughly enjoyed most of the restaurants that were there prior to the current renovation. I always welcome change and was very much looking forward to trying Bavette's and Primrose (which I'll review separately) during my first ever New Year's Eve in Vegas trip. There were four in my group and the others also enjoy and appreciate a good meal. The ambiance here is really cool, as it's like stepping back in time and it almost gives you the feeling of dining in a speakeasy. It's pretty darn dark so we needed to use the flashlights from our cellphones to navigate the menus, but this wasn't really a big deal and made us chuckle. (Perhaps offering small flashlights to guests would make for a nice touch?) We ordered the wedge salad which was delicious and the shellfish tower which was also amazing. The complimentary bread was also a hit. The Mac-in-cheese side is yummy and the roasted broccoli was just okay. The entrees were bone in NY strip (medium rare), 2 bone in ribeyes (medium rare to rare and medium), short rib stroganoff. Although the food up to this point as very good (the service wasn't stellar - just average) I have to give a 2 star rating to a steakhouse that is known for, well, steak. All three steaks were tough and cooked improperly. The med rare NY strip was medium well. The medium to medium rare ribeye was medium well and the medium ribeye was very close to well done. The waiter apologized, took each of our steaks and notified the manager. The manager acknowledged the poorly cooked steaks and apologized. He even went as far as saying he was embarrassed. I opted to bypass the steak altogether but the two others (Ribeyes) accepted newly prepared steaks. Even with the second preparation, the beef was tough and just the overall flavor quality was lacking. Dry aged beef should be very flavorful and tender - neither of which were present here. The restaurant took several items off our bill without us having to ask which was appreciated, but we would have preferred to pay for a great meal with top-notch ingredients and preparation.
