We came here for my 25th birthday dinner when the SBC was in Vegas and it had to be the highlight for me of the trip.
Prior to arriving in Vegas I had made plans with Craftsteak to accomodate our large party. Because there were about 19 of us, we had to make sure that they could even accommodate us since it was a Sat night at prime dinner time and they did, all that was involved was a 6 page contract and a $500 deposit. Just dealing with that part was a pain, hence the -1 star but it is understandable.
But when we got there, after a little delay in getting us seated since the people who were sitting at one of the tables we were getting took forever to sign their check and get up, we were seated and the fun began. Shortly after sitting, the hostess apologized for the wait and gave everyone at the table a complimentary shot of a yummy Polish vodka, an awesome way to start the meal.
Then all the delicious food started coming out. I had the wine pairing with my meal as well and all of it went perfectly!
- First the bread was absolutely amazing. With some butter that just melted into the warm bread served in a skillet, I was in heaven from the start.
- Appetizer Course: Shaved Fennel Salad, Shrimp (I believe this was in place of the quail), Buffalo Mozzarella with Red Pepper Caponata
Persian Cucumber Salad (all delicious but of course me being the huge seafood lover I am, I adored the shrimp with the juicy shrimp head. Wine Pairing: A very clean and smooth riesling
- Main Entree: Prime Beef Flat Iron, Angus Skirt Steak, Diver Sea Scallops- All steak was cooked perfectly, not too well done at all and the scallops were fresh, juicy and divine! Wine Pairing: A red, can't remember what at that point since I shared it with my bro
- Sides: Yukon Gold Potato Purée, Sautéed Sweet Corn, Roasted Shiitake Mushrooms- All were great. I loved how the potato puree just melted in my mouth and the sweet corn was amazing.
- Dessert: Chef's Selection which included an apple crisp, 5 types of sorbet- strawberry and I can't remember the other 4 and other delicious desserts. Wine Pairing- A muscato (my favorite of the 3!)
- My special birthday cake: Sent by Michelle A. cuz she couldn't make it with help by Po. An amazing chocolate cake with my fave, strawberries in the middle. Thank you so much you two, so delicious and reading the note made me feel so nice and loved, you guys rock!
Service was so on point the entire time. Our server Blue really was extremely accommodating and did everything to make sure we had a great time. Thank you to Craftsteak for putting up with us, I know we were definitely on the louder side but we had a blast.
Thank you all for going and woot to a wonderful dinner at Craftsteak.
