Q: I'm sure Bininos Steak House was a great place back in the '80s but this establishment is way past its prime. Granted Binions has become that place to go at least once if you're in downtown Vegas, mainly because of what it used to be and not so much of what it is now. Of course the glass elevator taking you up is nice way to start the evening. Then the view is very cool at night. The restaurant it self is very dark and your typical old school steak house...dark woods, deep read banquets and carpet, and white table cloth. The standard steak house starter, lobster bisque, had a decent flavor, but was gritty and the lobster meat was tough. This bisque definitely missed the sieve. The medium rare rib eye was perfectly cooked and I wish I could say the same for the flavor. The steak had zero seasoning. Although a juicy cut of meat, it lacked complete flavor. To top it off it had zero char. It appeared as if the steak was cooked on a backyard grill you bought at the grocery store. The Cabernet sauce was an attempt to add flavor, but the artificial taste from the sauce did not help much. As for the sides, it did not get much better. The beans were obviously frozen and not fresh, and the roasted potatoes were mushy. There was not much that could save this sad plate of food. Desert was a last chance to have a decent bite in the restaurant but the creme brulee, although cooked very well, tasted more like eggs than sweet vanilla. Service was awkward and inconsistent. I can now say that I have been to the top of Binions but I sure won't be returning.

Q: This was our first visit and we were very pleased with the service as well as the food. If they had featured pulled noodles it would have been perfect! The best dish for us was the eggplant. Wonderful treat. Next visit we will try the garlic pea sprouts.

A: positive

Q: Horrible I got hear at 845pm they close at 930 and they did not have any food on the buffet to choose from. Everything was a 15-20 minute wait to order horrible. The attendant had a face like she was pissed that I came in. Not coming hear ever again.

Q: Worst.experience.ever. I totally agree with Lou on this...totally overpriced and crappy selection. I also bought a Groupon here and also felt like I didn't get a deal at all because the prices were so high. They didn't even have Malibu Red?! Which I have been wanting to try for awhile now. I also felt skeeved out by the location. Like, I fully expected to see racks of porn when I walked in (thanks heavens I did not). And they bag their stuff in black garbage like bags, probably for the purpose of concealment. Obviously this place is for the clueless binge drinking college student. The customer service was awful. When I asked about a particular vodka, the guy behind the counter condescendingly responded that he only drinks top shelf so he wouldn't know, snicker. Really? Apparently only the best for the dude in the stained t-shirt and a fu man chu. Plus, he could clearly see my husband and I were having trouble making a decision - no offer to help us out, no recommendations. And they either didn't carry what I wanted, or were out of it. Ugh. Awful. I will never go back. People, stick with Total Wine.
