excellent steak

by robndenisse at Citysearch

typical steakhouse menu..meaning everything is ala carte...not the greatest selection for apps and sides...but then it is a steakhouse right...you would do you yourself a diservice if you did not get their signature bone-in ribeye...i ordered mine med-rare...it was cooked perfectly and had the most amazing flavor you could imagine...just incredible...my wife had lobster bisque and a salad..both were okay..not sure i like their style of chopped salad..but the flavor was good...very tasty fresh bread as well...i got their macoroni side and stuffed mushroom appetizer...both were okay...but everything paled in comparison to the steak...i will go back simpy for the steak..cost was about $90 for us..

i had read reviews on line & saw that this restaurant had high marks & wanted to try it out. my companion was hesitant since the restaurant IS located inside texas station casino & that didnt seem like a likely place for an upscale restaurant or a fine dining experience. it didnt start off great. we got there at 745pm & the hostess had just gone inside to show someone a table. she never came back. we waited at the entrance like idiots for 5 minutes & that s a long time to just stand around in front of an empty podium with no promise of anyone helping us. finally, a waitress came over to seat us. but our waiter didnt come by for another 5 minutes, so we were sitting there without menus that whole time. we were, as you can guess, a little irritated at this time. my companion even wanted to up & go to the treasure island steakhouse instead. our waiter finally came over & after this little hiccup in the beginning, everything was EXCELLENT. we had 2 waiters waiting on us, another bringing us break & water (the bread basket was very unique) & many others stopping by to ask if we were all right & recommended wines. their wine is very reasonably priced, not much higher than retail prices. we had the steakhouse salad (do share one since they re huge), the surf & turf (includes a lobster tail which was humongous & a 12 oz filet mignon) & also the 16oz filet mignon. for sides we got spinach & mashed potatoes. we should ve just gotten 1 side or no sides becuz the entrees were very generous in propotions. we couldnt even finish the sides. for dessert, the chocolate decadent cake was sooo good. overall, i LOVED this place. the ambiance was great, the service was beyond excellent & the food was great as well. it's a very romantic place to take a date. you would definitely get props for it. we ordered a bottle of dom perignon (195) & splurged on the more expensive entrees, so our dinner came out to be 400. but you could easily eat here for 100 or so. go there. u wont regret it.

• Pros: ambience, great food, service, reasonably priced wines

Best steak house

by kmtnevada at Citysearch

Great food, excellent service, mid-range prices. Our family goes to Austin's 5-6 times per year. We have never had a bad meal. A+ for food quality, ambiance, and service. LOVE IT!

• Pros: Best steak house in Vegas
• Cons: You have to walk through the Texas casino to get to Austin's.
