I love this hotel. Right when you walk into the lobby, you're swept with the feeling for grandeur and romance. There's gold everywhere (I think i'm just particular to gold), and t...

Great atmosphere and service. The Lobster Bisque was outstanding but the steak was not good at all cooked very well done when I asked for medium and it had a Whole lot of pepper ...

terrible 6/12/2008

Too many complaints to list... my husband is a chef at one of the top restaurants in the country so he of all people should be able to pick out flaws in a meal but seriously, anyone could have noticed the problems with our meal. We had reso's for 5:30 when the restaurant opened and arrived on time but the hostess had us stand in the hall for nearly 15 minutes waiting to seat us, I still can't figure that out. So called sommelier couldn't tell me what WTW (white table wine) or RTW (red table wine) on the by the glass list meant, ha! Lobster $70 overcooked so that it was rubber, Kobe beef skirt steak $70 ordered mid-rare came out well done. Risotto was blah and mushy. Server to casual.....Whole experience was a let down and waste of money. If Tom sat at our table that night would he have approved? Pros: we can say we at at Tom Colicchio's restaurant Cons: not worth it more

Another disappointment 5/8/2008

The service was impeccable. Food was average. My guest and I ordered a shrimp cocktail to split as an appetizer. The shrimp were divine, but the cocktail sauce tasted like plain catsup. We had to ask for horseradish to add to the sauce. I ordered the roasted top sirloin, my guest ordered the roasted filet and we ordered sauteed spinach, roasted carrots and gratin of potatoes with leeks and roasted garlic. Everything but the carrots and potatoes was salty. I sent my steak back because it was tough (and had no flavor). We wanted to send the spinach back because it was so salty but decided not to after I had already sent back my steak. The was another expensive trip to a celebrity chef restaurant on the strip that wasn't worth it. more

MGM 5/6/2008

This is one of my favorite restaurants inside the MGM. The food is to die for. The atmosphere is of course lively and fun and the people are the same. The steamed garlic shrimp and crab are my favas. more

it was just ok 5/5/2008

i have a problem with any high end steakhouse that does not know how to prepair a steak pittsburg rare(black&blue) and craft steak did not pass the test, why anybody who loves prime beef would ever want grass fed beef is beyond me! if you want lean meat eat buffalo, or tenderlion or just eat fish! of course lean meat is more heathy for you but when i am shelling out $100 a steak i dont want healthy ,i want richess and flavor! i cant say that the quality was bad but the preparation was less than great , no char or sear on my ribeye and no seasoning also ,another problem i had was i had to order a huge 40oz ribeye for two if i wanted a dry aged steak (thats what i ordered)i have heard that they offer all kinds of aged prime beef but the night i had dinner that was the only option on the menue for dry aged ,service was not great but not bad sides ok , drinks ok ,would i go again if i had to pay, NO! would i go if it was on sombody else, maybe, all i could think about while i was eating was Tom Coliccio bashing the young chefs on top chef about not seasoning food and poor preparation, hey Tom i think you better stop by you OWN kitchen and give your OWN food a test. Pros: nice room .large menue Cons: preparation , price more

OK for big groups, poor for couples 4/6/2008

Food: Porterhouse for two, lobster bisque, and salad were good, not excellent.\r \r Wine: Excellent wines, but no options for the average joe (ie. under $130/bottle).\r \r Ambiance: Noisy and busy. My wife and I had to shout to cary on a conversation.\r \r Service: Honestly, I have had better service at applebees. Not what I was expecting for the $$$. \r \r Summary: There are better places to eat in Vegas (including MGM)...don't wast your time and money here.\r Pros: Good food. Cons: Service; ambience; value. more

Incredibly Delicious Food, Beautiful Setting. 3/31/2008

We just went to Vegas for the weekend and I made a reservation about\r a week in advance for Craftsteak. We were really looking forward to it,\r and it did not disappoint!!! My wife and I each had the Filet Mignon, and\r they were spectacular. SO PERFECTLY COOKED AND DELICIOUS.\r The only negative was they were a little too large for us at 10 oz. each.\r The Shrimp Cocktail might be the finest I have ever had, only the cocktail\r sauce was extremely mild. I'm not big on horse-radish at all, but I \r believe you should be able to taste it a little. You could tell there was a \r hint of it, but that's it. Anyway, the shrimp were pristine. Firm, fresh, cold,\r and very tasty. Beautiful. I know it's a simple dish, but that's all the more\r reason it needs to be nailed, perfectly!!! My wife's Spinach Salad\r with a truffle-oil dressing was very simple but very good as well. Also\r we had Sauteed Baby Broccoli, which was SO delicious!!! For dessert we\r had the Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream. Incredible!!!\r \r \r We were so happy with our meal, and the excellent service. It was one\r of our best meals ever. The only Steak we could remember enjoying more\r was at Dylan Prime in NYC, and not by much. Pros: Incredibly Delicious, Simple Food!!! Cons: Pretty Expensive!!! more

Great steak and great service! 3/16/2008

Craftsteak is my favorite restaurant on the planet!!! The kobe beef tartare is sinful! I love the beet salad. The steak is always perfect! The sides are gigantic and there is always a great variety. The portions are huge...we always order way too much food. It all sounds so good we can't help ourselves. The service is always top notch. The bar is also a good place to eat if you are in a hurry or you can't get a reservation. My only less than positive comment is that I am never especially impressed by the dessert. We usually opt out or do an ice cream/sorbet sampler. The pastries do not match up to the stellar food and service. My suggestion is order several appetizers and sides, split a steak, and skip dessert. more

Fantastic Dinner - Best of Vegas! 2/11/2008

This was a fantastic place to eat. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and we were not disappointed. The service was impeccable - both of our servers were knowledgeable and friendly. This is a very elegant, beautiful restaurant, without being pretentious. I highly recommend following your server's recommendations: our server suggested the seasonal scallops and they were heavenly. The Kobe beef is just as wonderful as expected and the portions are perfect. The asparagus, as mentioned in an earlier review, was delicious. We did not stay for dessert, because we were just too full, however, I highly recommend the Sidecar Martini. This is the perfect place for atmosphere, upscale dining, and impeccable service. If you want some privacy, request a booth. Don't miss out on this place - it is a fabulous splurge and well worth the money. Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Great Food more

One of the best buffets in Vegas 12/26/2007

We went twice and had excellent experiences both times. The food was great. They have a large selection with good standards. We had Sunday brunch (mimosas/booze was an extra $3) and gorged on the made to order omelettes, hot waffles, bagels & lox, prime rib, shrimp, etc. Everything was quite good and the servers were very pleasant. Then we went back for XMas dinner. They set up a made to order mashed potatoes instead of omelettes... brilliant! Also, made to order strip steaks... delicious! Everything was fantastic, although I skipped the Mexican food since I'm from Texas. Next time I'll probably stay at MGM to be closer to the buffet. Pros: Great food, excellent service, tons of choices Cons: can be pricey and crowded on special occasions more

Worth a visit...if you're not paying 11/26/2007

Let's just say that overall, I was happy, but the hefty price tag left me with a little more to desire...thankfully, I was traveling on business, so the bill wasn't completely absorbed by myself. The service was prompt and the staff was quite friendly even if they were a little difficult to understand. The bar is well stocked and the signature key-lime martini is a fantastic after dinner drink. As for the food, it was both great & o.k. I thoroughly enjoyed the yellow fin tuna appetizer. The bone-in steak however was good...not great, and at $50+ for just the steak, I've had better (the chop house in Chicago comes to mind). Note that I also don't particularly care for pre-cut meat (I am a big boy and you gave me a knife), nor did I particularly care for the rosemary the steak was garnished with. The side of asparagus was o.k., but nowhere near worth the cost. Why did I select this place to eat at in the first place...well, it was the end of a long 2 week trip it was downstairs, and I wanted a good steak. That's what I got, a good steak and a hefty bill, but I will say again, that the tuna was a fantastic appetizer. Would I go back, probably not, and I wouldn't recommend it to someone traveling on their own dime. Pros: they take reservarions and the dress code is relatively liberal for ""fine dining"" Cons: hefty cost for an o.k. cut of steak more

Avoid At All Costs. (And Boy Does It Cost.) 10/25/2007

A profound disappointment. Based on Colicchio's reputation and a sampling of diner reviews -- including some from this site -- I organized a family reunion and dinner at Craftsteak. Should not have bothered. Almost every aspect of our evening was underwhelming. Let me count the ways. \r \r 1.) The service was horrifically slow. Although we were seated promptly, five minutes passed before a waiter arrived; another ten minutes passed before our drinks arrived; another 15 minutes passed before water and bread arrived. Perhaps we were being conditioned, because our appetizers then took another half hour and our entrees -- ta da! -- arrived almost two hours after we first sat down. \r \r 2.) The steaks, which as others have noted are almost comically expensive, were unevenly cooked. Granted, this meant that half the steak was wonderfully prepared, tender and tasty. But it also meant that half of the same steak was either overdone or dripping raw, not to mention tough and gristly.\r \r 3.) The ambiance is more akin to a Denny's then to place where the per-person check tops $100. The restaurant is theme-park sized, obviously far too large to competently staff. The din is horrible. Four times during out meal waiters dropped plates or glasses -- four times! These thundering events were followed by much shouting and rushing about by the wait staff, and then frenzied mopping and sweeping, complete with chemical aromas. \r \r I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get my drift. We felt cheated and taken for granted, and we're now soured on the whole Craft empire. Had we not gone as a family the next day to Mesa, at Caesar's Palace, the reunion would have been ruined. Happily, Mesa's was quiet, the staff was competent, and food cheaper and much better than at Craft. Had I only known that in advance. Ah, well. Cons: Cost, Ambience, Service, Noise more

Amazing for Groups!! 7/24/2007

My husband and I are HUGE Top Chef fans, so for our trip to Vegas we had to see if Chef Colicchio really knew what he was talking about in his sometimes harsh reviews of the contestants. Let me tell you, he has every right to point out every single little flaw because Craftsteak was absolutely flawless!! We went with 3 other couples who have never seen Top Chef and all are picky eaters and have huge appetites. First of all we were seated at a huge circular table with lots of room around it. This may seem like something so simple but it made for really easy conversations and a lot of laughs all night instead of the typical rectangular tables restaurants put groups at. Our server had a great sense of humor and almost insisted on us doing one of the chef's tasting menus. We decided on the $110 a person one which included Kobe beef since none of us had tried it yet. We were really leery that there wouldn't be nearly enough food for everyone but with the a la carte prices we trusted our server that we wouldn't be able to finish everything on the table and it was the best option for our group. We were SHOCKED at both the quality and the quantity of the food that was presented to us! The prawns in the appetizer course were the best shrimp that anyone in our group had ever had. My personal favorite for the entree course was the meat that they served in a little copper kettle that had been cooked for over 18 hours. For dessert, I would have to pick the cantaloupe gelato, I am craving it now!! Honestly, our group was filled with some of the pickiest eaters I know and they all couldn't stop raving about it!! I was so proud to have made the suggestion when two of the couples in my group said it was the best meal they had ever had. For the two of us to do the $110 tasting, 1 Kettel One dirty martini for him, and a glass of wine for me, including tax and tip it was $320 and worth every dollar!! Craftsteak is perfection without any snobby or elitist attitude. Pros: Perfect for Groups, Amazing food prepared simply Cons: Wine and cocktails were expensive but strong and large more

Avoid the Sirloin Steak 12/20/2006

I agree with several others here that the staff was very professional and the service was great. I ordered the \r Sirlion, i believe around 16 oz, and it was presliced when brought to my table. I asked for it to be medium well, not very pink inside. Well, it was served more or less like a bright red Prime Rib so I sent it back to cook it a bit longer. When they brought it back it was cooked as I requested, however, the quality of the meat was not much better than a tough London broil that I would buy at the local supermarket. The shrimp cocktail was excellent and the green beans average, for $10. \r I probably ordered the wrong steak, probably should have stayed with the Filet Mignon. The steak was supposed to be the highlight of the meal so I must say it was rather dissappointing. \r The jazz music was good. more

Great Steak, wonderful experience 11/14/2006

My boyfriend and I ate here for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. The caesar salad was great, different than your typical caesar. We both ordered rib eye steaks which were both amazing. The side dishes were great too and pretty large. For dessert we had the monkey which is one of the most unique and tasty desserts I have ever had in a restaurant. It is a bit pricey, but I had won at the tables so it evened out. Pros: everything more

Good Buffet 10/22/2006

Not bad at all, so I would recommend it. The food was good and fresh and the waiter was attentive. We had a coupon for it since we stayed at the hotel and got a 2 for 1. Excellent value !! more

Totally worth going to more than once! 10/5/2006

My girlfriend & I decided to cancel our original dinner reservation, and were able to make a same-day reservation at our desired time at Craftsteak. It was one of the best decisions we made on our recent trip to Vegas, as the food (we ordered the 32-oz ribeye steak to share) was totally worth the experience! Be prepared to spend $$$, especially with the expensive wine list, but there are many great selections which just enhances the overall quality of the restaurant. The service was outstanding as well and I would certainly recommend this for both couples seeking romantic dinner, or groups seeking an enjoyable upscale dining experience! Pros: great steaks, extensive wine list, excellent service Cons: wine list is a bit pricey more

Kobe skirt steak is phenomenal 9/9/2006

I have eaten here numerous times with friends and out of towners and every time, we have left pleased, if a little lighter in the wallet. The kobe skirt steaks are fork tender and the hawaiian prawns are delicious. James our waiter remembered us every time we came in **by name**. Not many people can attest to that, especially in Las Vegas! \r Definitely recommend the Dark and Stormy cocktail, a smooth concotion of dark rum, lime and ginger beer (not ale) that compliments the Kobe. We told them it was our anniversary and my birthday the last time, and we got the red carpet treatment of an onslaught of tasty desserts. We love this restaurant! Pros: Excellent service, professional staff, excellent dining experience Cons: be prepared to spend good money on great food! more

GRAND BREAKFAST! 7/31/2006

We loved the MGM Grand buffet's BREAKFAST so much we ate there three days in a row! We had all the orange juice, coffee, tea, milk, food you could ask for for the very low price of $13.95.\r \r Eggs benedict, create your own omelett, the works! I especially enjoyed the turkey/pork sausage as well as the very creative California scramble! Oh I wish I was in Vegas now! Pros: great service, great food, no line Cons: Get there early, after 10am it will be PACKED! more

If I could only eat here everyday!!!!! 6/25/2006

All I can say is WOW!!! Actually a lot more. Our dinner (06/24/06) was absolutely incredible. After looking at the menu, and with recommendation from our waiter Kevin, who was great, we decided to order the Chef's Sampling Menu. We ordered the Surf & Turf which included Kobe beef and Alaskan King Crab Legs.\r \r The meal started off with a little tidbit from the chef, two little pieces of bread topped with a tomato paste & white bean paste. Next were the appetizers, Arugala Salad, Scallops (which were to die for), and Red Peppers. I am not a fan of Peppers, but these were incredible.\r \r Dinner: 2 styles of Kobe Beef; Skirt steak, which was my favorite and filet. Fresh Corn which was grilled and then schucked off the cob, pureed potatoes, along with an assortment of mushrooms. The Alaskan King Crab legs were already shelled and in a wonderful butter sauce\r \r Dessert: 4 flavors of IceCream; Peanut, Caramel, Pineapple Sorbet, Strawberry Sorbet. Monkey bread, a bed of Citrus fruit.\r \r Believe me when I say that everything was incredible!!! Even though I am not a fan of some stuff, Crab included, it was delicious!!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. One one note though, if you do go keep in mind that everything on the menu is ala carte. And it is very pricey. For the two of us our meal including drinks was slightly over $300. This does not include the tip\r \r So If you don't mind spending money on incredible, to die for food, Craftsteak is the choice. I am soooo looking forward to our next trip to Vegas!!! Pros: Ambience, Out of this World Food, Service Cons: Price, and thats only if you don't like paying for good food. more

Worth at Least One Visit 5/30/2006

This is a fantastic resturant if you are ready and willing to pay the price. The Kobe skirt steak was unbelievable as was the spinach. The filet was standard but good and the wine was wonderful. You MUST try the cinnamon monkey bread for desert and the vanilla ice cream - both to die for! Service was immpecable, good humored and not the least bit uppity. The one downside is that we were dining on a crowded night and it was very, very loud. It was impossible to have a conversation at a normal level until some of the large groups moved out. It definatley took some of the romance out of it. With several large tables and booths that could be made larger they appeared to be able to handle large groups well and there was a private dining room. Pros: service/staff, food, wine Cons: price, noisy more
