text: Steak restaurants in Las Vegas like internet cat sites exist in a hyper competitive cut throat market Some places that would be thebombcom in other markets just cannot cut the mustard when compared to Vegas Gold Standards like Carne Vino or Outback IMHO Craftsteak is just such a restaurant it is pretty good but given its similar in cost to just about every steak place on the strip it is not one I would recommend nnI always get the same thing first time around Bone in Ribeye Potato side Mac and Cheese except for they do not have mac and cheese terrorists win nnThe Steak the bone in ribeye was mediocre at best Ordered medium rare the meat was barely pink which was a huge misstep It did not have a very good crust and was sort of bland given how often TC yells at people on Top Chef for incorrectly seasoning and given it was a steak and should have enough salt on it to choke a deer this was pretty disappointing Now again if this was your first Vegas steak experience you could overlook this and still have a pretty good meal But if you have been to other great steak restaurants in the area these mistakes become more crushing nnNow I will say their specialty is clearly the more expensive steaks US and Australian Wagyu Kobe or Japanese Wagyu Does anyone know what these things mean Nope Ok I figured So I will admit the fault could lie with me not going for a big boy steak nnPotato Gratinthis was actually pretty top notch It has a garlic cream sauce that is STRONG so if you are on a date or with a fancy prostitute you may want to stay awaynnWhite Corn Grits I am from the dirty south so naturally I had to order this It is not exactly what you would expect if you have been raised on three Michelin star restaurants like Waffle House but it is chock full of so much bacon and gruyere cheese that you cannot really go wrong nnDessertnThe Monkey Bread is pretty amazing overall the sides and dessert were the stars of this meal with the steak more of a creepy extra lurking in the corner If I went back here I would probably skip the steak altogether and get more appssidesdesserts
