I've known about Triple George Grill since 2005, it came highly recommended by my friend Cinnamon Steen Fahey who used to be a showgirl back in the Rat Pack days (she performed with Sammy Davis Jr in the 70's and Isaac "shut yo mouth" Hayes as well as numerous shows around the valley) so you know she KNOWS Vegas....
Well, fast forward almost 10 years later and we finally made it here..go figure, I even lived Downtown for a year and never made it. WHAT was I thinking?!? We definitely missed out not coming here earlier.
So we decided to have a staycation for the mister's birthday- got a room at the Downtown Grand and made dinner reservations at Triple George. I had done months of research on steakhouses all over Vegas..yeah we could have gone to one of the fancier ones on the strip but I'm not that type of person- I would rather support local as much as I can. And the Downtown area has changed so much that the area around Triple George is just so much fun now.
Walking in, I felt like I was back at Chic's Place in San Francisco. Well, I found out from our waiter that Triple George's owner created it to be exactly like Tadich Grill in SF! Our waiter was great, we talked about SF and about Maui (where he is from)- service was top notch from the hostess down to the busboy.
We started with the baked goat cheese marinara appetizer, it came with lots of crostini and could easily feed 4 people. Since we wanted to save room for our entrees, we had to stop ourselves from gorging on warm cheese and bread!
The mister ordered the porcini crusted ribeye and I had the petrale sole, both were delicious but I LOVED the ribeye...it was done a perfect medium rare and was like "buttah"!. I loved it so much that I ate my fish and almost half of the mister's ribeye! The veggies that came with our entrees were nothing to rave about, but the star of the dinner was for sure the steak.
We finished off dinner with a complimentary chocolate cake with a birthday candle and a Irish coffee. Overall, an outstanding evening!
