"First of all, I will credit Rachael Ray for featuring Vintner Grill on Tasty Travels, making me obsess about this place for weeks before actually having the chance to get in here. I had prepared myself for the stark realization that the place may be just a victim of huge hype....BUT I WAS PROVED INCREDIBLY WRONG\n\nThe exterior of Vintner Grill makes that place unassuming. In fact, I thought I had the wrong directions until I could see a white gazebo peeking over the wall.\n\nI, as a male, will NEVER use this word to describe anything ever again but the interior was absolutely LUXURIOUS: plush white, accents or red here and there, straight up beautiful. Usually, one would feel uncomfortable but for some reason the decor made me feel...home-y.\n\nThe service was great for having a full house. I got a table to myself at 7:30pm, awesome right? My drink was never left unattended. And my waitress was talkative considering the dinner rush crowd.\n\nLastly, *drumroll* THE FOOD!! *TA-DAH!!*\nTo start things off, I had the margherita flatbread and finished with dry aged ribeye. It was truly a religious experience, the tomatoes and avocado oil made my palate want more instantly. The ribeye could easily rival Craftsteak or Del Frisco, it had a medium/med-high earthiness but not overpowering. I have to admit that I am very partial to blue cheese so the polenta made me extremely happy.\n\nEveryone MUST try Vintner Grille. Another jewel tucked off strip in Summerlin."^^ .
