It took me awhile to write this review and I should have done it as soon as I got back home from Las Vegas. I guess it's better late than never.
Craftsteak is Chef Tom Colicchio's steakhouse located inside MGM Grand Las Vegas. I had a chance to visit the restaurant with my friends during our vacation in March and was really impressed by not only the decor and service but also the sumptuous meal that we had.
When you enter the Craftsteak, you are greeted by a couple of two seated table with a bar on the left that is well-stocked and dimly lit. I asked the bartender for a wine list and he basically handed me a binder which was pretty impressive. The wine list was pretty extensive from Proseccos to Rieslings to Merlots and Cabernets.
Once we got seated, we were greeted by our pleasant server who gave us suggestions on what to order. He suggested that we should order the Tasting Menu selections which is basically a three course meal composed of appetizers, entrees and desserts. So we decided to go for the Domestic Waygu Beef which cost $130 per person. A little bit pricey but it was truly worth it.
After making our orders, they brought out the dinner rolls which were to die for. They are so tasty and soft that we finished sixth rolls in a matter of seconds. And of course, the waiter brought us more which we didn't mind but we had to stop to make sure we will still have enough room for our three course dinner.
Our first course arrived which at first look like it was the main course. The Caesar Salad and Marinated Anchovy which was very good and tasted fresh, the dressing nor the anchovies weren't too empowering. The Grilled Pacific Prawns which was crunchy and tasty especially the sauce. The Warm Frisee Salad tasted fresh. And the Hand-Cut Wagyu Beef Tartare was just out of this world.
The second course arrived along with the side dishes. I could say that the amount of food that they came out can feed more than the six of us combine. They brought out Kobe Style Wagyu Beef is different varieties - Filet Mignon, Strip, Rib Eye, Skirt Steak and Flat Iron Steak. I would say that the Skirt Steak was favored by most of the group because of its tenderness but the Rib Eye and Filet Mignon was also excellent. Once the beef was on the table, everyone became quiet as we just enjoy the sensation in our palates. The side dishes were also tasty. The Asparagus and Onions was crunchy and cooked right. The Mushroom assortment was amazing and fresh and the Yukon Gold Puree just slides down the throat.
By the time, we were all filling up. And our server came and asked how we are feeling. We told him that we were about to be full and he basically told us that its not over. And suddenly, the desserts starts popping into our table. Our dessert were composed of Cinnamon Monkey Bread, Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, Butterscotch Mousse, and an assortment of Home made ice cream and sorbet. We were all in heaven as we gobbled up the desserts especially the Monkey Bread which was the best dessert among the choices.
I would say, if you are in Vegas next time and don't mind spending a bit then you should definitely check this place out. And hey, you only live once, you might as well give it a try.
