We are a local couple who eat out frequently and have tried many of the fine restaurants in Las Vegas. It was a surprise the Daniel Boulud was closing. What a shame that a fine eating spot died and the exquisite space filled with overpriced mediocrity. After taking in the great show - Sinatra - we decided on a late night bite and thought about trying the new Lakeside Grill. Without a reservation, we waited around 10 minutes to be seated in what looked to be a half empty restaurant. The nice woman at the reception desk lead us to our table and got us seated. That was about the best treatment we had, considering the hyped up status of the place. A polite young man took our drink order and promptly came back with a bottle of Pellagrino. Our waiter showed up soon thereafter and handed us the menu. I am totally used to paying decent money for good food and service to match, but I was sort of surprised to see the prices on this menu. I think $50 for a 9oz Fillet Mignon is a little high. Everything is ala carte. We were not starving and decided that we were just going to order a quick lite bite - Strip Steak Sliders, fries, and braised greens. The steak sliders were $7 a piece, 10 bucks for the fries, and 10 bucks for the greens. The sliders consisted of a mini slice of steak stuck in the groove of a sliced mini-baguette. The fries were great - but $10? Greens were so-so. Bottom line - $60 for some mediocre snacks is a joke. I am glad we did not go for a full blown meal. Oh - one more little thing - after the waiter took our order - we never saw him again. Not once. Later in the meal, another woman came by to clear the plates and ask if we wanted any desert. She also brought the check. For that kind of money, someone should have asked if we were satisfied with our meal. nuf said -I warned u. Many better choices. Walk over to Encore - Society Grill.
