Answer: Wow, I cannot remember ever eating so much meat at one time. I was with a large group that was in Charlotte for business and we were all very pleased with the evening. Without a reservation it is very difficult to just walk in and be seated, even on a Tuesday evening, so using Open Table I was able to line up something quick enough and we were in. First, great service, which is always important to me. The meal began with a wonderful salad bar, actually probably the best salad bar that I have ever partaken in, and was a good start. Then the meat came, and came. So fast that I had to carefully monitor my "hit me" card. Add a nice bottle of Silver Oak Cabernet to share with the table and the meal was spectacular. Last, a very smooth Papaya Creme desert finished off the evening very nicely. Fortunately we had a bit of a walk back to the hotel, which was definitely needed..

Answer: Let me start by saying I am not a big Italian fan anymore only because my BF is asian he is not a fan so I do not get to eat it. So when my GF suggested Italian for our girls night I was totally in the mood! Our search began and ended here we decided to go old school I remembered a client telling me of her old days in Las Vegas when she was a showgirl hanging with the "in" crowd (the mafia) the show people and their cohorts. So in the mood for some ambiance we decided to have some snacks here then move on for the rest of the night. We pull up (Valet only) nice guy and walk in we already know we did not want the restaurant because we only wanted a few shared plates and cocktails. So we opted for the front bar. They had a small 3 person band think Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin style. They have nice booths against the wall to cosy up in or a bar to sit and watch the small rooms happenings. We chose the end of the bar to watch the performers eat our food and enjoy a couple of glasses of wine. The decor of the room I thought was both fun and funny, completely decked out in monkeys, monkeys everywhere! Now on to the food... Prosciutto Con Melone thinly sliced Parma ham and melon. I loved the way the salt of the thinly sliced Prosciutto went both agains and with the sweet, slightly bitter of the Mellon. Agnolotti Freschi Alla Crema, country style fresh pasta stuffed with spinach, served with cream sauce. Amazing, one of the best pasta dishes I have had. The home made pasta breaks apart easily (but not to easy) to be able to tell it really is fresh. The cream sauce has enough flavor to showcase the gentle blending of flavors of the spinach and cream. I chose to add pepper because I like the kick of it. On to the service and ambiance the service is top notch but with a bit of the New York attitude (if you've been there you know). Everyone is taking orders,bringing, cleaning or walking around to see if one of the priors need to be done. In other words great old school service. Ambiance, lots of interesting things to keep your eyes and ears happy. Sit at the bar and get to know a few New York transplants, or tourist who have heard about the great pasta or some old questionable members of our community who could quite possibly be in the old school mafia... Any how The Pasta is great, the ambiance is fun, the bartenders know the wines and the servers know the menus, the people around you are a free added bonus. I will be back and have a few times since I started this review. A side note the prices on some items have been raised about $1 since my first visit. Still worth it.

Answer:
Some really great steak here. I was in a large group and shared a NY strip with another person. They carve it all up for you. We were warned that a "medium rare" here is the same as rare elsewhere, and that "rare" is pretty much tartar. So we had it medium and it was still too pink for our liking. Across the board at the table we all felt the meat was a little too rare. That said, the steak was fantastic (the, uh, outer portions) -- I avoided the very center of the cuts. Just know when coming here that you want to order "medium-well" to "well-done" to get the medium-rare that you'd get elsewhere. The person that I shared the steak with said that Joe's (Forum Shops @ Caesars) was still his favorite steak place in Vegas. I've never been, so I can't say -- I liked this place just fine. But FYI, they probably don't play games with cooking definitions. ;)
