I rarely go to the Hard Rock but over the last few months they've been sending me coupons to gamble and eat there so what the heck - I'm up for a free meal ( or at least a greatly discounted one .)\n\nthe GF and I opted to use the $200 comp at 35 steak + martini's. \n\nNice looking restaurant. In the bar/lounge area they had an acoustic guitarist playing some great music we could hear at our table.\n\nWe passed on the martini's and other \"old school\" cocktails listed on the menu. I went with a Fat tire beer ( $8 ) as the gf was still shivering from the cold so a coffee/baileys ( $8) props for providing a large separate container of the bailey's to add at her leisure to the coffee.\n\nWe ordered :\n\nThe Wedge with extra blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles ($11)\nRossini ( rib eye steak topped with foie gras and black truffle demi ) White Cheddar Gratin($59)\nNY Strip topped with blue cheese ( $43 - can't recall what they charged for the added blue cheese ) \nLobster tail ($35)\nMac n Cheese ( $8)\nSalt and vinegar fries ( $8)\n\nThe highs :\n\nRossini - perfectly cooked, coated with what we believed was black truffle and mushroom - great taste. And a nice chunk of foie gras !!!\n\nLobster tail - large tail yet tender and perfectly cooked.\n\nLows :\n\nMac and cheese - you can tell they haphazardly mixed the elbow mac with the cheese sauce and did not thoroughly bake it. cheese sauce flavor ok but overall, substandard.\n\nThe wedge - the lettuce was partially frozen but the blue cheese crumbles were delicious.\n\nService was above average at the beginning of the meal but fell off around dessert since the dining room was at their peak occupancy.\n\nWe ended the meal with the \"king\" of desserts ( inspired by Elvis ) Chocolate mouse, peanut butter mousse, chocolate coating with a banana ice cream ( $10) - the mousse was amazing. \n\nOverall a decent meal but in a town of stellar steakhouses, the 35 is somewhat run of the mill .\n\nWill eat there again if i have a discount/comp.\n\npics included
