text: I rarely drop a one star but this place did it.\n\nI stay at the Hardrock when I am in Vegas and was excited to try the new steak joint. This restaurant location seems to be cursed as both AJ's and the place after it didn't quite seem up to snuff. Went with a group of 9 guys on a bachelor party. There were 2 other groups there both under 10 people and maybe 4 or 5 other tables sat. In total, there were around 40 to 50 people there. This will come into play in a second. We sat down and service was fine. We ordered right away. Appetizers took 45 minutes to come out and our steaks came out 75 minutes after ordering them. I asked why it took so long and the server said it was because we were a big group. If a restaurant that seats over 100 can't service 10 customers when they are only half full, they need some major changes to the service.\n\nThen there was the food. I got the crab cakes which I would give a 3 out 5 for the crab cakes I have had in my life but at $15 for one very small crab cake, it should have been better. I split the tomahawk chop, ordered medium rare, with a buddy and ordered the the spinach as a side. Spinach was simple steamed spinach and was average at best and again I would have expected something more for $8 but this is my fault for not asking if it was just straight steamed spinach. The steak was bar none the worst $100 steak I have ever had. It would have been the worst $20 steak I have ever had if it didn't cost $50 a head. It came out medium well which I should have expected I guess since it was on the grill for so long. I would have sent it back but I didn't have another hour to wait for a replacement. There was no flavor to the meat at all which might have been from the overcooking but it was very fatty (which rib eye should be) and somehow still devoid of flavor. Our entire group had similar feelings with some of the guys feeling it was not bad but just mediocre.\nI have no problem dropping $100+ on a good dinner but that is not what this place had to offer when I was there. I hope they turn this around because I will be in the hotel again and hate having to drive somewhere to get a decent steak.
