Oscars is a little hidden gem in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. Most people wouldn't think twice of going to this restaurant because it's location. As a tourist, you wouldn't really know how to find this place. It is situated in a small local casino, The Plaza. I assume it's populated mainly with locals. I dined here upon my cousin's recommendation, who's a Vegas local, and a true foodie.
Food: incredible! You must try the rib eye! It was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The portion size is HUGE! I've never had such a large sized rib eye for that price. My cousin and I shared the plate and it was more than enough for the two of us. We also ordered the fried calamari, shrimp cocktail, and the chopped salad. The shrimp cocktail was probably my favorite. It's 4 pieces of jumbo sized shrimp that is super fresh! The chocolate cake was damn delicious and again, they don't skimp on the portion. It's a large slice with a chocolate/ cream sauce on the side with two scoops vanilla ice cream
Ambiance: Gorgeous! The center glass chandelier really sets a romantic and modern vibe. The first thing you notice as you walk into the restaurant is the dome shaped glass window. It's jaw dropping! The wide side glass windows really opens up the space and gives the entire place a truly unique dining experience. Be sure to request a window seat- this way you have a spectacular view of flashy downtown Las Vegas!
Service: You really can't ask for better service there. We had the manager Cody come check on us a few times. He was such a sweetheart! Our server, Scott, was so nice and funny. He came and checked on us regularly and made sure we were satisfied with service. Oh! And they validate your parking. I didn't know that! Nice little perk!
Price: Very reasonable considering the atmosphere and food quality.
I would definitely come back here. I recommend this to all my buddies. The prices may be a bit steep but essentially, you're paying for a unique dining experience. The atmosphere is 100% different from your typical fine dining! It's such a hidden gem!!
