Hey look at this. A post. I figured my calendar is pretty booked with some great stuff over the next few months so I may actually have some decent stuff to write about. Here goes.

On Friday, I went to THE Steak House for the inaugural Spring Restaurant Week in Las Vegas. Figured I lived in Vegas long enough that I should check out Circus Circus at least once and with all the accolades THE Steak House has received, I could kill two birds with one stone. First off, parking at Circus Circus isn’t that great. Both garages were closed? Really? I would have probably been better off valeting. Also, go in off Industrial as opposed to the Boulevard as that would have been much easier as well.

Now the important stuff… the food. Great bread basket! I love carbs and a good bread basket and this one had a great assortment. For the appetizer, the Caesar salad was awesome. One of the best I’ve had. I was also told by a member of our party that the French Onion soup was the best they ever had as well. Good start. The main course was Filet Oscar: a 12oz filet topped with king crab and bearnaise sauce. I probably would have preferred to have the crab as an appetizer and just ate the filet separately as I think the toppings took a bit away from the filet. I ordered it medium and it was good but wasn’t the best filet I ever ate. Another member of the party got medium-rare, I ate part of that, and I felt it was much better than my medium despite me not normally liking rare. I’ll give the medium filet a 3.5 and the medium rare filet a 4. As for desert, there were plenty of great looking options on the cart. Everyone got something different and no one complained. I had a raspberry chocolate cake which was way too big after what I had already eaten and was a real good way to end a meal. Nothing went to waste.

All in all, I went in a little sick and a bit under the weather but left stuffed and pretty content, definitely happy with my Restaurant Week choice this time around. So far with my Restaurant Week choices, I’ll put THE Steak House above Palm Restaurant however I don’t think I can quite put it above the Capital Grille.
