text: For me to give this place stars takes complete honesty from me and also shows my disappointment I wanted so much to love this place to crown it it was not what I thought it was to walk out wholly satisfied in the knowledge that I will not have a better steak Dining here was supposed to be one of the cornerstones of this Vegas trip remember the time we ate at Delmonicos type thing The stars is my confession to myself this place was not worth the pricennIm no lover of Cajun food or spices or anything and the only thing I know about Emeril is he says BAM a lot and the character Elzar on Futurama is a direct parody of him I have got no urge to try any more of his food though We ate here the evening of the Final Four had an early reservation and was seated promptly in a fairly quiet room Good corner location where we could look out at everything around us but not have people walk by us The decor was not of any note nnWe started with the cocktail shrimp with crackers very odd I have been eating a lot of shrimp lately and there was nothing special about these The sauce was a bit spicier than others so decent I pushed my girlfriend to try the kobe while I stuck with my old standby of NY The bread was nothing special as wellnnMy sides were pretty average I enjoyed my girlfriends fried scallops though The vegetables and potatoes are just complements to the meal though The kobe steak came all sliced up and ready to go It was not the mind blowing experience with kobe that I hoped it would be I could see the disappointment on my gfs face as she chewed on it On the plus side the kobe sirloin meal came with the sides so that is a few bucks saved And sadly that is the plus side of it nnMy steak was of a fairly average size maybe an inch thick bonein and perhaps ounces I ordered it medium which the waiter confirmed would be pink throughout I waver between mediumrare and medium usually if a steak is bonein I go medium Unfortunately my steak was overcooked It got to that bastard style known as mediumwell I kept hoping as I got closer to the bone it would pinken up but no such luck I ate it happily as it was still a good steak but I just could not shake the disappointment The seasoning used on it was decent and had some spice to it but no charm to it Part way through my meal I attempted to knifelift a portion for the gf to try and wound up dropping it on the table cloth leaving a huge outline of meat We laughed about it and both expected our waiter to say something anything about it as he brushed it with the crumb brush Sigh no such warmth here Service was efficient and not quite friendly I guess high end steakhouses cater to clients that would rather not have their imperfections pointed out One look at me would suggest I am not the typical client but no joke came from either our waiter or the assistant waiter nnAfter we perused the desert menu I settled on the banana cream pie This was the best banana cream pie I have ever had It was beautifully presented had fresh bananas and was not too sweet This was the favorite part of the meal for me I doubt I will ever have a better banana cream pite but I will keep lookingnnAll in all a decent meal but not worth the price Meal was for no drinks nothing particularly noteworthy I doubt I will ever go back on my own wallet
