| - Came here with high hopes due to all the praise I saw on here. Overall, It was... okay.
The ambience is very nice. Dimly lit, with a classy feel. Was not aware that it was inside of a hotel, about 15-20 minutes from the strip. Initially thought it was a stand-alone building.
Service was mediocre. You know those waiters who tries to be funny by picking on customers, like they're buddies with them? We had one of those, who just over did it. We had a younger guy dining with us, and the waiter pretty much singled him out. Saying he does not trust him with a knife, and that he should sit alone on this side, etc, etc. It's funny at first, but becomes old quick.
Here's the food breakdown:
Starts off with bread. Woo-hoo. Pretty good bread! Then it slowly starts to go down-hill.
Appetizers:
* Crabcakes - $14 for two small portions. I guess our fault for not asking about it firsthand. Taste was okay.
* Shrimp Cocktail - $14 for 4 pieces, decent size. It was good. A shrimp cocktail, is a shrimp cocktail. Nothing really special about that.
* Calamari - $13 I believe - Had a good amount compared to what the others ordered. Breading a bit stale, seemed to be pre-cooked and kept heated. Tasted bland.
Main Course:
* Rib Eye - Okay.
* Prime Rib - It was pretty good. If you were to dine here, I would recommend this out of the rest. Taste is not as good as Lawry's or Wood Ranch though. Girlfriend complained the prime rib "skin" was too salty, it was.
* New York - I had the New York steak. It was not too good. Steak was tough and the taste was really under whelming. It was really disappointing that I could have made a better steak at home.
* Filet Mignon - My friend ordered this, and it pretty much messed the night up for her. Since it was pretty much burnt on some areas. Tough, tasteless and charred.
* Porterhouse - My other friend said he liked it. Not crazy about it, but it satisfied him.
So pretty much, everything about this place is either average or slightly below that.. We regret going here, but hey, atleast we know now. =[
