    This is the second time we have been to dine there and the food is hit or miss. The ribeye steak was terrible! Thin, chewy and tough!

    The hostess and floor manager were quick to adjust our seating from 6 to 4 when a couple could not attend at the last minute……which was great. The food itself was excellent, 4 different steak entrees + 4 different sides. The bread was served warm and was very nice as well. The service was the weakness of the outing, as the two waitstaff who handled our table appeared stretched very thin, and it showed. They were both very competent, but were obviously forced to handle more tables-diners than optimal. One bottle of $80 wine, 6 cocktails, one desert, and entrees + sides for a party of 4 totaled $625 before tip……so a $775 bill when I took care of the wait staff…….and the ambiance of a hotel banquet room.

    This was my fourth visit here. We had the stone crab appetizer, after cracking them open. There was very little crab meat and very little flavor considering the price was $80. I feel it was extremely overvalued wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We both had the trout Almadien, and it also had very little flavor aside from adding salt and pepper. The service was good. The food left a lot to be desired. I doubt I’ll be back….

    Very good experience. The filet mignon was so flavorful and delicious. We loved the mac and cheese and potatoes au gratin. Our waiter was so attentive and hilarious. We loved our experience at Desi Vegas.
