We had a "my Vegas" voucher for $30 at this restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. Santa Fe station isn't too far from us, and we'd rather go here than the Strip or Fremont....if the food is good!
It WAS. Not only that, but we liked the elegant but relaxed ambiance of the Charcoal Room. Our server was competent (thanks for the recommendation to try the garlic-cilantro sauce on our steaks!), and the "busboy" (the guy who took our plates, filled our glasses, and packed up our copious leftovers) was really pleasant and on the ball.
We had filet mignon, the fresh corn, mac-n-cheese, lobster chowder, and cheesecake. Oh, and the complimentary bread...hot out of the oven...yum! The steaks were cooked perfectly, and were piping hot. The sides were both amazing; the mac-n-cheese tasted like my homemade (I use the best cheese in mine), and the s.o. loved his chowder. My cheesecake slice was enormous, and the texture was sooooo smooth. ALL of the portions were huge...I ended up having most of the cheesecake for breakfast the next day; and we had a 2nd steak dinner the next night, with our leftovers :-)
The price is well under that of most Strip steakhouses or gourmet rooms. They had a decent selection of beers, wines, after-dinner ports (etc.) too. I would highly recommend this as a place to take guests, have birthdays, etc. It sure made our plain old Sunday really special! I can't wait to go back and try their ginormous lobster tails...
