It is with a heavy heart that I give Craftsteak two stars. Part of it was expectations, and part of it is the actual experience.\n\nExpectations: Top-notch service, tasty food, atmosphere, advice on wine.\n\nExpectations met on... atmosphere and wine. The Malbec that the sommelier recommended was really and truly delicious. \n\nExpectations not met on... service or food. The appetizers (scallops!) and the lobster were fantastic, but this is Craftsteak. I expected out-of-this-world steak, and we were sorely disappointed. The ribeye we got must've been a bad cut, because the best word I can think of is 'grisly.' Points to the staff because when we mentioned it, they did take a little off the bill. I would've rather gotten a bite of good ribeye, but whatevs.\n\nThe dessert was awesome. If I go again, I'll have an appetizer and dessert!\n\nThe service started out like any high-end dining experience, but then things got weird. We got a sort of family style four-course meal that included multiple appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts. It's a little annoying to have three entrees brought out at once - for two people. We couldn't possibly eat everything while it was hot, so that was LAME. We felt this way on every course - we couldn't enjoy and take our time, we had to stuff our face before stuff got cold. Our server also mysteriously disappeared after the orders were taken until the meal was over. \n\nWe actually refilled our own wine glasses. After waiting about 10 minutes to see if the server would be back (as expected at high-end places, or am I off-base?). When they were nowhere to be found, we took matters into our own hands.\n\nI can't say I'll be back anytime soon - there are so many great restaurants in Vegas! I would skip Craftsteak.
