text: I picked this place for a romantic dinner for our first night in Vegas together We only planned on going to one fancy dinner and I did lots of reviewing on yelp to pick someplace great deciding on Craftsteak after much deliberation My decision was somewhat swayed by the fact that I am a big fan of Top Chef and as some of you may know the head judge Tom Collichio is the executive chef of this place Well I think Mr Tom may need to pack his knives and go nnI was totally disappointed in the food We ordered the surf n turf tasting menu which was something like each for three courses with wine pairings We started off with some kind of steak tartare which was not that impressive Not bad but it tasted very strongly of garlic and had no delicacy of flavor Not special Then came the steak and lobster with a selection of side dishes The skirt steak and fillet both Kobe beef were well cooked I suppose but not anything better than I have bbqd up at home Not especially tender not especially well seasoned There was a good amount of lobster but it was rubbery and it took some messy work to get half of it out of the she will The sides included were pomme puree aka mashed potatoes sauteed mushrooms and grilled asparagus Seriously I order a fancy tasting menu expecting the best the chef has to offer and he sends out friggin mashed potatoes How is that special How is that the best you have to offer The dessert was some kind of chocolate cake and a selection of sorbets one of which was red bull flavored Seriously Red bull is nasty it is flavor only slightly improved by vodka The wine paired with the steak was good The other two were unremarkable and the dessert wine they paired with the chocolate cake was some kind of Sauternes which I consider to be an inappropriate choice for chocolate A late harvest Zin port or some sherry would have been much better nnAs you have probably gathered I was completely unimpressed I am not the type to complain to management about such things which is why I am venting to you all here thank you yelp nnWhen I pay top dollar for a tasting menu I expect something really special high quality and creative This was none of the above I felt seriously ripped off and pist off when leaving this place and the feelings have not subsided If Tom had been judging this meal I think he would agree He needs to go check on the people running this place because they are ruining his good name If you are looking for a interesting and delicious tasting menu from one of the excellent Chefs in Vegas choose someone else
