Yep, still my favorite steakhouse in Vegas. Went here the other night and had: a meltingly tender filet, a fabulous glass of pinot, crispy herbed fries, pretzel bread, 4 delicious sauces and roasted root vegetables. We were tired and would have loved quicker check service, but that 's our problem - not theirs.

Trendy atmosphere with a great, knowledgeable staff who take the time to explain their philosophy and food to you. Vegan food selection is limited but I had their tofu scramble wrap and it was amazing. Their juices are really great too. You leave this restaurant satisfied with a delicious, healthy meal.

We visited again for lunch. The atmosphere is great. The biggest complaint: our food was sloooooow. Our waitress apologized several times. Fortunately, we weren't in a hurry and it was nice to just sit and talk. I had the flatbread off the appetizer menu. It's large, the size of a pizza, and not that flat, really. I enjoyed the toppings and the chewy texture of the bread. It was quite dry, though, since it had no sauce and just chunks of cheese and tomato. I still enjoyed it. (At home, I heated up my leftovers, added salad greens, and a balsamic drizzle. The balsamic was awesome and fixed the dryness problem.) My husband had the triple double pizza. To quote the menu: "San Marzano tomatoes, hot & sweet sausage, red bell pepper, pepperoncini, mozzarella and monterey jack." To add to that: "Pure deliciousness." My husband loved it, and the few bites I had were awesome. It had the perfect kick to it. Plus, tons of cheese. I'd come for lunch again if I wasn't in a hurry, but I don't think I'd get the flatbread again. Fortunately, there are a bunch of other things that look delicious--I was definitely eyeing the salad on my neighbor's table.

We attempted to have a nice dinner at Chao. We walked in and did notice that it looked like they weren't quite set up all the way, but decided to still give them a chance. Someone came by and brought two waters with some very melted ice, and he offered no straws. Then the man who sat us at the table came by and took our drink order. We asked for hot tea but again no sweetener was offered. Fifteen minutes later we were still sitting there with people walking around looking busy. We saw two other tables who got there after we arrived get their orders in. We finally decided to get up and leave 20 minutes later. My husband went over to "the server" and gave him $10.00 for the teas. The server didn't apologize for never coming back around to take our dinner orders he just took the money and said nothing. We walked over to BLD and had a wonderful dinner. We won't be back to Chao!
