| - CUT was one of the best, if not the best steakhouse experience I've ever had.
The first thing I noticed was a very nice decor - somewhat minimalist, but a bit trendier I'd say than the traidtional wood panelled steakhouse, but not in that i'n your face' all style, no substance way. I think Id say very classy. The area was a dimly lit (but not overly so) open space with relatively high ceilings and good spacing between tables. Also, for those gentleman hoping to impress a lady friend, the pictures on the wall of brad pitt and denzel washington (depending on your gal's preferences) combined with the wine selection should help your cause. CUT is good for various purposes - for example, in the room I was seated, there was a large table of friends (10-12 of mixed gender), a date (me, haha, look at me, right?), and a table of about 4 elegant, but young looking grandmas (love seeing a bunch of grandmas out to devour steaks!).
Service was friendly, attentive and considerate. They start with the iPad wine and drink selection, which is great for two reasons: (1) the date looks at me like I'm classy trying to pair the correct grape and vintage for the type of steak we are getting, while I am actually just sorting from lowest to highest price and obviously going for the cheapest bottle they had (see above, the whole Brad Pitt thing, fine wine is no longer needed). (2) I can obviously check to see if Clash of Clans is also on the iPad so I can make sure my village isn't being raided while I go out for dinner. One thing I will note on the service, I get they are trying to educate the consumer, but the meat cart ala Mortons 1998 is really not needed. But who am I to tell Mr. Puck how to run a restaurant - He did afterall, have a guest appearance on the show Las Vegas in ohhh 2005, which really upset me that they never finished it a made a season 7.
Anyway, the menu was very interesting, and I kinda liked the different categories of steak. For appetizer we went wtih the crab/shrimp/avocado thing, which was one of the best appetizers I've ever had in my life. I would say def give it a try. Also the bread selection and butter was excellent.
So on to the steak - we went with the Weygu ribeye, and I had the Wegyu sirloin sampler, medium rare. both were cooked perfectly and were some of the best steaks I've ever had. Also, I love when you get a plate with a hunk of meat on it (in my case, 3 lil guys), and not a whole bunch of garnishes and silliness which is an attempt to mask the fact you aren't getting a good steak. So you can order sauces on the side (mine came with sauces), and the sauces were all really good - for the bread and the onion rings (which were very good by the way, not too greasy). Because, while I am not going to judge, these weren't really the kind of steaks to put sauce on. The otherside we ordered was creamed spinanch - also excellent.
I had the mango gelatto white cake thingy for dessert, which was just ok - I don't know if it was the dish, or just my palate, but figured Id try a dessert anyway.
Lastly, the price - $$$$, as you probably already know. It's very expensive, but in my opinion, well worth it for a special occassion. Maybe I'll have good luck at the slot machines and be able to splurge for it again, but until that time, I guess I'll be choosing between Denny's and the Outback on the Strip.
