Impeccable service, classic decor, and dare I say...orgasmic food!\n\nWe arrived with a reservation and were seated immediately in a large banquet. The host moved the table out so that no one had to awkwardly shuffle in. The gesture was appreciated, as were the accent pillows for back support. The seating is one long banquet along the two main walls and a row of tables down the centre. The dining room feels intimate with low lighting and muted decor. \n\nOur waitress was lovely and knowledgeable. Like many other steakhouses a sample plate of the cuts are brought to your table and reviewed. She explained all the cuts of meat without making you feel like if you didn't order the Wagyu (which starts at $150 for 6oz) that you were a Neanderthal of the food world. Have to say the Wagyu did look amazing with all its marbling...add that to the bucket list.\n\nThen came the bread. With a special waiter just for it. 5 types were offered. They all looked great, but I chose a pretzel bread. The butter served with it was from France and it was explained to us that it has a higher fat content than American butter. It is sooooo worth it. It was crusted with a Rosemary salt that gave it a little zing. At the first creamy taste, let's face it, the bread became a butter delivery vehicle.\n\nIt got better from there.\n\nApp: we shared the butter lettuce salad. So fresh. Light. A great start to a meal you know will be heavy.\n\nMain: Illinois filet. Done to a perfect mid rare. Unbelievably tender. Served with a selection of mustards. They were an interesting accompaniment but really not necessary as the steak alone was so flavourful.\n\nSides: Peas and pea shoots. OMG. I have never loved a pea more in my life. Saut\u00E9ed in butter, but perfectly crisp. Texture added from the shoots took them to the next level I think.\n\nOnion rings. Yup. Was surprised to see them on the menu. But these are not your fast food grease circles. Think more along the lines of high end Japanese tempura. The house made ketchup that comes with was great - tangy more so than sweet.\n\nWe were too full for dessert but we were brought a small complimentary selection of petit fours. A very nice way to end the meal.\n\nThis place is expensive, but no more so than other Vegas steakhouses on the strip. And it was worth every penny. This is a meal I dream about."^^ .
