| - Boa Steakhouse, located at the top of The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, is a beautiful & hip place to be on the Las Vegas Strip, especially for NEW YEARS EVE getting ready to ring in 2012. That being said, the serving of our "Porterhouse for 2" didn't quite meet the glitter & glammar that is Las Vegas. Coming from Southern California, most of the finer, gourmet steak houses (etc Ruth Chris, Arroyo Chop House, Mortons, Maestros.....even Boa, Santa Monica) will serve your Porterhouse for 2 at the table, dividing both the strip steak & fillet equally where both individuals have pieces from each side, respectively. Boa Las Vegas divides their Porterhouse for 2 in the kitchen, and is brought to the table where 1 person gets all of the strip steak while the other person gets all of the fillet side.....UNBELIEVABLE being served in this style at such a well established steakhouse. When asking the waiter about this, he said that "HE usually will divide the Porterhouse at the table BUT, he could bring it back to the kitchen to divide it properly, should I wish!" I said sure AND upon bringing back our Porterhouse for 2, the whole strip steak portion was cut to pieces and served to my wife while the whole fillet portion was also cut to pieces and served to me.......WOW. The look by the waiter was suggestive of "I don't know what's wrong with you.....don't know how to cut steak or what?" My sister who had suggested Boa Steakhouse for our New Years Eve rendezvous was embarrassed & appalled in the way my wife & I were served. Next, they'll probably say there was a new chef in the kitchen for New Years Eve that didn't know what he/she was doing. This makes me apprehensive to come back for a second chance at this restaurant because this should have been one of the best dining experiences of my life in Las Vegas.
