Andiron Steak & Sea

So I wanted to try a new brunch location after searching and hearing about this in a article I decided to try this place.
I have to admit I was quite surprised at how lively the atmosphere was with drinks pouring, awesome customer service and a really trendy beat by a DJ being played.
This is definitely going to be a place where I’m going to come back and try the lobster roll again as it was absolutely amazing.
The overall experience was very good and I’ll be coming back but next time with a big group of people and ready to party with the unlimited mimosas.

One of the nicest decors I have seen in a restaurant in a long time, very comfortable and yet refined at the same time.
The service was friendly and accommodating, but the execution was flat out poor. Clearly a multitude of training and communication issues.
1-​Wines by the glass were served to the wrong guests; we spent 15 minutes trying to figure out other choices that my guests might like, when the problem was they didn’t get what they ordered in the first place. We wound up just switching the glasses and it was clear they got served each others wine.
2-​We waited 30 minutes for appetizers only to watch them come out wrong and then watching a staff meeting next to our table to figure out they had the wrong table number.
3-​After waiting an additional 15 minutes for the right appetizers to be served and the service staff having no idea who ordered what (I expect that at Applebee’s but not a a place charging $ 45 for a steak on a plate), my second course came before I was finished with the first, rookie mistake.
4-​When the main course came, my guests steak ordered MR was blue inside and my wife’s was MR when ordered MW. The «shrimp scampi» was blackened with peppercorn sauce? I was told, that is how we make it? Ummm, no. That is like ordering Marinara and being served a pepper coulis, then being told, that is how we make it!
5– When my wife’s steak came back out, it was absolutely charred beyond recognition. It looked like someone hit it with a flamethrower. It was inedible. But she waited 15 minutes for it to come back out, we were all basically done with dinner, and she didn’t want to wait for another one altogether.
6-​We ordered a dessert to be shared, which was actually the best part of the meal only to have the server stop by and say «Let me guess… it’s terrible?» Really?
After the experience we had, you would think it would dawn on someone in a position of leadership to contemplate… Hey let’s send them over a complimentary dessert? or a glass of wine? Or take that burned steak off the check? Nope… nothing…the place is run by amateurs.
I wouldn’t go back, nor would I recommend the place, which is unfortunate, because when I walked in and saw the décor/​ambiance, I thought I might be about to have the dining experience of my life.

Love the décor of this place. Easy parking. Service was amazing. Everyone was very attentive. The salmon was cooked perfectly. They started a sushi/​sashimi menu recently. We tried hamachi sashimi and spicy tuna roll. The sashimi was amazing. The tuna roll had too much rice in it. Everyone kept talking about the crème brûlée donuts so we had to try it. I didn’t love it because I was expecting warm donuts (I don’t know why), lol. It’s basically crème brûlée filling inside a donut. I would probably come back. Great for dates!

Stopped in for their restaurant week menu, and I have to say our experience left alot to be desired.
To start we had the shrimp and the pea soup. The pea soup was just okay, but the ingredients were fresh enough and overall it was okay, I mean it’s pea soup after all. The shrimp was also just okay, and the portion size was pretty small.
For mains we had the steak and the chicken. The steak was pretty good, though again the cut was on the small side, and thin. The chicken, however was a large portion, which was unfortunate because it was awful. It was served on top of some over cooked carelessly seasoned brocollini, (I say careless because for the most part it was blandly seasoned if at all, but a few bites were terribly salty) the chicken itself was cumbersome and difficult to eat, as it kept sliding around on top of the brocollini as we cut into it to eat it. The skin was burnt tasting, yet soggy, and totally under seasoned and flavorless. We barley touched this dish.
For desert we had the crème brûlée donuts and the lemon tart. This was probably the best course, though the lemon tart was very sour, though tasty. The crème brûlée donuts were also delicious, but the portion was tiny (two small ping pong ball sized donuts in one portion.
This all would have been a 3.5 star experience (I really loved this place last time we were here) but it took them over 40 minutes to cash us out, which was extremely irritating. Overall it was a lackluster, expensive experience that will make us think twice about coming back.

We have been really looking forward to coming here and have been excited about the Mac n cheese waffle. So from the start we were a party of 5 with 2 kids in our party. When we were seated first off it was a table that could fit 10 people which was very awkward our reso was put in 3 hours prior so their was plenty of time to
Prep a good table that would work for that size of our party on a Tuesday night (6÷7÷16). We came for the restaurant week prefix menu. To start off we ordered regular water I requested lemons for my water. These were not even brought till I was staring at one of the managers and he asked how everything was going and I asked for some lemons if he could because we saw our actual server a total of 3 times throughout the whole dining experience server was Jennifer. My wife and mother in law came in planning on ordering the mushroom pasta which, was on the restaurant week menu online. This should have been honored or something comparable rather than the excuse of we don’t have that product so we can’t make it. She responded this way without asking any Manager or Chef which, in every steakhouse and club I’ve ever managed would’ve been unacceptable if my staff did that. Next was the kids menu which, it states that the drink and desert were included with the meal. I did not know this which I was the one who paid but, my wife had went through the menu with our son. He had 2 drinks and we were charged for both of them. To me it’s not about the dollar amount it’s the principal and inconsistency of this restaurant. I haven’t even touched on the fact that I ordered the Rib eye prefix meal which, I asked to be prepped at medium temp due to knowing rib eye is a fattier meat and you want that fat to liquify. Well it was medium-​rare and very fatty. My sons kids meal which, the server said «the burger would be cooked well done would that be okay» I said of course yes please because it’s a burger. Well the burger arrived 10 minutes before our food which is not an issue but, the burgers temp was a rare temperature no where near a well done temp. For the burger being $ 21 it should’ve been the best cooked burger ever to hit a grill. This place is far from the level they should be at. I think the owners and management need to focus more on the customer experience and good quality because it fell very short. I am seeing a major pattern between this restaurant and Honey Salt which, we went to about a month ago and I tipped the server assistant directly due to her busting her tale and the server just had a bad attitude and spent more time with one table with one touch than she did through our entire dinner. You need to get someone in these restaurants who knows how to train and knows how to serve themselves because these 2 restaurants have managers more concerned about the color of their tie rather than what’s going on with the customer experience. To improve the customer experience it’s not just asking every table how is everything because, you will get the same answer from every table especially when you can hear what the manager asked the table next to us (This is how Red Lobster trains FOH managers). It doesn’t create a unique way to truly get proactive guest responses nor does it make the restaurant goer feel special. I feel these restaurants are lacking this key piece in the niche market they are in. It seemed like such a burden on the managers at both of these restaurants. Obviously me writing this long review was probably a big waste of time but, I want local restaurants to succeed not fail or continue to make the same mistakes. My final grade for now «Needs major improvement». The 2 stars are for location and the interior of the restaurant. The experience needs to be revamped from walking in to restaurant to leaving the restaurant which, can be fixed easily you just need the whole team to buy into this philosophy. Good luck and hope to see/​hear major improvements in the near future.

I had high hopes for this place after hearing such good things about it from friends, and ended up disappointed.
The atmosphere is beautiful, and presentation of food was great, but the service and steaks were lacking. I ordered my steak medium, and it was brought out rare to medium rare, cold and bloody in the center. I had to send it back and they fired it to medium, but by that time the rest of the table had finished their main courses and I just boxed mine up to go. As for service, the table was never completely cleared for the dessert course, their were sauces and plates left from dinner. We also had to wait an unacceptable amount of time between courses.
The live music was nice, and the bar scene was enjoyable; however, I would probably not come back for dinner again. I definitely prefer Echo and Rig for steaks and fine dining in the Summerlin area.

Had Sunday brunch here today and had a great experience. Great menu, great service and great food. Had a not great meal here once but today made up for it. They had several choices of bottomless mimosa’s and a unique varied brunch menu. They even had a DJ keeping the place moving. I’ll be back!

With a number of great steak restaurants in Vegas, I had high hopes that Andiron would be one I could add to our list. Unfortunately it let us down in the most critical area– the quality of the steaks. I ordered the dry aged prime ribeye and my wife ordered the Waygu Tritip– recommended by our waitress as being very tender. We ordered them medium, after being informed that would be more like medium rare. We also got their Caesar salad and double stuffed potato.
The salad and potato were very good. Both of our steaks were tough by any reasonable standard, and my wife’s was delivered quite rare. We sent my wife’s back to get it cooked to medium. My ribeye was a surprisingly thin cut, but cooked properly– yet still tough. When my wife’s was finally brought back, it was properly cooked but very tough.
It should be noted that the service was very good.
My wife posted a review on TripAdvisor. The next day, a managing partner sent her a message in which he apologized, and hoped our experience would not keep us from coming back. Really? We spent $ 162 for the poor experience and he expected an apology would be sufficient to bring us back.

Came for Sunday brunch. I got the Shrimp and grits. It was ok. The grits weren’t super creamy but the plating sure was pretty! Get the donuts those are AMAZING! The Bloody Mary bar was impressive and fun to mix it up. I probably enjoyed that part a little too much oops…

Andiron was a huge disappointment for Sunday brunch! I had high expectations because honestly, you can’t help to have high expectations when you walk into this sophisticated restaurant and glance at the menu. The prices are on the high side — $ 20 for a burger?! $ 8 – 10 for sides? The food must be amazing, right?
First off, service was horrible. We had at least three different waiters and every time we needed something, we kept looking around for someone because we had no idea who our waiter was. After we were done eating, it took forever to get our check! We sat at an empty clean table for at least 10 minutes until someone dropped our check to us.
Hubby and I decided to order the short rib hash and the donut plate, which consisted of five different flavor donut holes. I give five stars on presentation for the food and ambiance, but in terms of the taste — bland and mediocre. The worst was the donut plate! It looked so good and when I took one bite from one of the donut holes, it tasted like an old, dry classic donut from the grocery store. I thought it maybe it was just that one donut hole, so I tried another. Same taste — tasted like nothing but blah. Then I tried another one and I took one bite and tasted like the last two so I stopped eating the donuts.
The short rib hash was better than the donut hole as I took more than 3 bites, but it wasn’t anything special. My friend ordered the $ 20 burger and his face said it all — not good. Our bill was $ 30 for the donuts and hash plate, and definitely not worth it.
We also indulged in the free candy bar in front because it looked so pretty. I took a Cap’n Crunch rice krispy treat, took one bite and threw it away.
I’m sorry, Andiron. I really really wanted to like you and I wouldn’t have had any problems paying your prices if the service was exceptional and the food was good — but sadly, they were both misses.

There seems to be a trend in Hometown Vegas (this is what I like to call the area that is not the Strip or Downtown tourist spaces … where Vegas residents actually live and play), especially around Summerlin/​Peccole Ranch area, where hip new restaurants pop up and momentarily become the hotspot for the trendy crowd. And AS&S seems priced to take advantage of this …
My wife and I were looking for a nice dining experience and we’d heard this place was from the makers of Honey Salt (a place I haven’t reviewed here but we absolutely love!).
First, the best part of our evening was by the Service and the atmosphere. Our waiter and supporting staff were super friendly and timely all night. This is a crew that clearly has the chops to handle the high maintenance fine dining crowd, but were down-​to-​earth enough to put up with the likes of me. And just like Honey Salt, they nailed it on making a visually stunning and very comfortable restaurant.
The food was also very good. I had the Dry Aged 12 oz Rib Eye to which I added the Wood Grilled Shrimp. My wife had the Prime Angus FlatIron and added the truffle compound butter. We shared sides of asparagus and the mac&cheese waffle because … well … because Mac&Cheese Waffle! Everything was prepared well and tasted good. The truffle compound butter was very good! There was almost nothing disappointing about this meal …
Almost …
My sole complaint and reason for the 3 Stars is simply value. If you are going to drop $ 200 on dinner and cocktails for two, you want to come way feeling like the food and experience were on par with the price. The steaks, while good, were not quite at the level you’d expect to justify the $ 30 price tag. The add-​ons also seemed overpriced and underwhelming. I don’t count myself among those who get any personal benefit out of paying a premium for the sake of being seen paying a premium, so whatever additional value was supposed to be there for this price was definitely missing.

Best steakhouse west of the strip with ease.
First, the place looks great let’s get that out of the way. Nice open space and a great décor make it very inviting. It has a fairly upscale feel but the restaurant is still very casual. The blend works.
In reality this place is really a 4.5 but since we are confined to whole numbers I was feeling generous. The half a star knock goes to the bread. It is, for lack of a better way to describe it, not good. I’d hesitate to call it bread because it’s close to yorkshire pudding but nowhere near as good as that. It had similar consistency and crunch but it just didnt really work. Butter was awesome though so I ate all the bread anyways because butter nom nom nom
–Avocado Toast. This was way better than it should have been. A very generous amount of avocado per piece of toast coupled with some amazingly flavorful tomatoes made this one of the better light appetizers I’ve had in a while. I can imagine some saying it’s not flavorful enough and yeah I’ll admit it’s not decadent. But the natural flavors are there, you just have to be paying attention.
–Bacon wrapped matzo balls. Ah the most beautiful oxymoron I’ve seen in a while. Maybe it’s the Jew in me wanting to be naughty but this thing tasted incredibly good. The horseradish crème fraîche was DOPE.
–Rib cap. Look this steak was just really good. Cooked exactly how I wanted and seasoned very well too. No it’s not the best steak Ive had in Vegas but it’s definitely the best one I’ve had off strip and for only $ 34 I consider that a steal.
–Roasted brussel sprouts. These were pretty good. Not mind blowing but as far as Im concerned as long as you make brussel sprouts edible it means they were done right as we’ve all eaten brussel sprouts that we could have lived without at one point in our lives.
–Rum cake. God yes give me more. The cake was amazing, the pineapples super sweet, the streusel so sugary, and the sobert perfect. That bite you get with all the components put together was one of the best things I’ve had in a while.
This is more than a good restaurant this is a repeat over and over kind of place. If you want steak but not the hassle of the strip, this is the place.

We came here earlier this month to celebrate my birthday. My first impression of this place was not good. I called about a month ahead to make a reservation and the woman who answered the phone kept me on hold for 10 minutes. I mean really, 10 minutes? I don’t know if they were extremely busy the night that I called, but seriously, she didn’t even apologize for making me wait! Besides, wouldn’t it take less than a minute to take down my name, phone number and number of people in my party?
Located across from Lazy Dog, the restaurant is very nice and clean. I liked the green and white décor, which was calming. Service was excellent and attentive. Our server made good suggestions on the menu items, all the servers checked up on us often and we never had to ask for drink refills since they were keeping a close eye on everything.
We started off with the Nueske Bacon Wrapped Matzo Balls, which was recommended by our server. This was our first time eating matzo balls, but I thought it was alright — tasted like broth and bacon. Didn’t care for the horseradish that came with it. Next, we were served complimentary shrimp cocktail. Not much to say since this tastes the same to me no matter where I go, but it did come with 2 jumbo shrimps! For the main course, I ordered the Black Canyon Ranch Filet, but I wasn’t impressed. It tasted alright at first, but after a while, I didn’t like the after taste of a burnt steak. Guess I’m really not a fan of char grilled steaks! My husband ordered the Porterhouse, which wasn’t horrible but not amazing. I was excited to try the mac & cheese waffle, but it was not as good as it looked. Kind of on the salty side and I am glad that I had them leave the cheese sauce on the side because it wasn’t needed. Now to the best part — dessert! The Peanut Butter & Pretzel Caramel Cheesecake was very delicious! The presentation was very unique and did not look like the average cheesecake. We also ordered Ashley’s Crème Brulee Donuts, which were very good. The donuts were hot crispy on the outside and the crème was perfect and not overly sweet.
Overall, I enjoyed the dessert more than our dinner! I feel bad saying this, but I would rather have a steak from Outback. Don’t think I will be back, but they deserve 4 stars for the service, atmosphere and dessert!

I’ve been wanting to go here forever and was finally able to visit on Saturday 3−12−16 at 7:40 PM. I didn’t realize it was in Downtown Summerlin and it’s freakin’ fancy! We almost walked out because we felt under-​dressed but the hostess assured us there was no dress code. There was a live band playing and the décor is SWANK-​Y.
They seem to not be kid-​friendly but we called ahead and asked if children were allowed and they said yes. No high chair or booster seat was offered, nor did they bring any utensils or beverage for the boy. We got plenty of stares even though he was behaving. If I had it to do over again, I’d probably not bring the boy and I would have dressed up a bit.
$ 140.60 got us a shrimp cocktail, scallop entrée, wagyu burger, two sides, a cocktail, a caesar salad, and a dessert. Complementary warm bread and soft butter were brought to the table. They asked if we wanted fizzy or flat water and I said flat so we got charged for an $ 8 bottle of Fiji water. Not cool.
$ 12.00 caesar salad was very tasty, fresh, and undoubtedly had house-​made dressing. Capers were an interesting addition. I totally recommend this!
$ 17.00 shrimp cocktail was absolutely gorgeous. I was so pissed when I got home and looked at my pics and the picture is blurry!!! GAWD. The shrimp were huge, succulent, and sweet and the presentation was so fancy. I loved the horseradish panna cotta balls… so adorable!
$ 34.00 for five scallops is pretty absurd. They were cooked well and I enjoyed the celery and mushrooms but the scallops themselves were laying on a bed of minty, mushy, peas. Mint and scallops was an odd combination that I couldn’t wrap my brain around.
The mashed potatoes were heavenly… they reminded me so much of my mom’s! Silky, flavorful, absolutely decadent! The brussel sprouts were equally as tasty and had a lovely, smokey flavor. $ 9.00 each but totally worth it, IMO.
The most anticipated dish of the night was the brown butter lemon meringue tart. The meringue was unlike any I’ve ever seen or tasted before. It was incredibly smooth like marshmallow fluff but stiff like a meringue. I’d be very interested to see their recipe. The filling of the pie was sweet and tart and lucious but the crust was like a rock. Seriously I was wishing that they hadn’t took my steak knife because that tart needed a chainsaw to cut through it.
Overall the food was very enjoyable and somewhat expensive but the best part about this place is their speed. The service was impeccable and they were there as soon as we needed them. When you have a toddler with you, the goal is to get in and out as quick as possible. They picked up on this without us saying a word and I appreciated it. Yeah… I’m a fan.

I always thought to myself, where would I take someone in Vegas if I wanted to impress them? I know my answer to that question, or, it’s VERY possible I am just coming up with excuses to return to Andiron. From the moment I arrived with fellow Elite Jessie B. and my 13 year old daughter, we were impressed.
Starting with service, to décor, to the food, I was overwhelmed and amazed.
Knowing this was the sister restaurant to Honey Salt, my bar was immediately set high. I really wanted to try every single thing on the menu. Between us, we went with a donuts sampler, the eggs benedict, the cranberry brie grilled cheese sandwich, the maple/​lemon infused french toast, a side of sausage (made in house) the bloody mary bar, and our waiter Luis was kind enough to recommend the most delicious, melt in your mouth, peanut butter cheesecake dessert that has ever existed! I promise, I would go back for that alone! Honestly, I couldn’t only go back for that, when everything was truly remarkable. When the told us the maple syrup was infused into the french toast, I thought to myself, NO way. I figured it would still need additional syrup. I was SO wrong! The chefs here really put thought into every step of these dishes.
The bloody mary bar was also unique. You had a bartender to give you your choice of vodka, from regular, citron, or peppar. They also had 4 mixes to choose from including a green one, and a spicy. So many options from multiple salt toppers like celery, lime, or Old Bay. Then things like greek olives, blue cheese stuffed olives, shrimp, bacon, and jerky! I was tempted to just stay there, all morning, and afternoon!
From start to finish, this place won me over. I have a feeling Andiron will be seeing much more of me, and I am looking forward to it.

Gorgeous interior with plenty of attention to detail: white woods, open spaces, hammered silver cutlery, and pretty floral bread and dessert plates that matches the wallpaper in the bathroom hallway (so gaudy it’s great). I liked how everything came together decoratively, and the service was correspondingly professional and attentive.
Simple but solid steakhouse menu, everything was executed well: standard assortment of apps, selection of steaks and seafood, vegetarian options available. Beef tartare and roasted beet appetizers were predictable and a little underwhelming. Steak and lobster tail special ($ 65) was good quality with a surprisingly savory house steak sauce. Brussels sprouts and branzino (ask for extra chimmi churri) were typical and the oft-​hyped mac and cheese waffle was a fun textural twist on the usual version (make sure you get the cheese sauce!), but the dessert was the surprise highlight: definitely get the peanut butter pretzel cheesecake!
Overall, the food was good but not great. Andiron met my expectations for a good dinner, but knowing that this spot was voted the best new restaurant in Vegas for 2015 (even if it is largely a popularity a contest), I expected to be wowed… but wasn’t.

I’m finally getting around to posting a review for Andiron. I made a couple visits during the summer and with the executive chef changes (opening chef Joe Zanelli left, Brett Uniss entered and soon departed, and now Micah Waltz leads the kitchen) some dishes I tried are no longer served. Their menu had a mix of traditional steakhouse fare like a steak tartare full of capers, bonded with mustard, and topped with an egg and more modern items such as an artfully plated, refreshingly light yellowtail crudo with preserved kumquats. The burrata and grilled fig made for a decent appetizer too, with the creaminess of the cheese, sweetness of the figs and acidity of tomatoes melding beautifully.
Steaks are as good as you’ll find off the Strip. The Creekstone Farms bone in rib eye was nicely charred. It’s dark exterior glistening with butter and topped with mushrooms. Simply plated on a white dish with a small side of house made steak sauce with notes of tang and spice. It was a good sauce but not needed. The Strauss grass fed filet was just as good. Cooked to a medium rare as ordered and very tender and lean. I didn’t care of the peppers on top of the peppercorn sauce. Again, the steak was good enough to eat without it. The addition of Alaskan king crabs came out to about 2.5 legs worth of crustacean.
Side dishes were a mixed bag. Creamed spinach was too soupy for my liking, while the creamy and rich risotto with white truffles was excellent.
Ending the meals were two desserts. The first was a warm pecan carrot cake, similar to a muffin topped with candied carrot, sitting in a pool of bourbon cream cheese with pineapple currant compote running alongside it. It was a solid rendition, but light on the spice and carrots of a traditional carrot cake. The second dessert was a disappointing warm chocolate pudding cake that was too dense and thick.
Everything about this restaurant is well calculated — from the dishes on the menu to the floral pattern found throughout. While the execution isn’t always perfect, the net result is one of the better steakhouses found off the Strip.

My one dinner here met with mixed results, but on the whole this fairly new restaurant in Downtown Summerlin shows much promise. Yet it appears to not be very accommodating, based on the three examples I encountered, as follows: 1) Despite great pics of French Onion Soup on Unilocal,the dish has been killed for the season. Why? Winter is almost here, and hot soup seems in order. 2) No anchovies are available to be added to a Caesar Salad. 3) The kitchen declined to make a Loaded Baked Potato without chives or to put cheese and bacon inside a cooked spud. 3) A request for two checks for one table was rejected.
But these grumblings aside, a Gem Lettuce Salad was large and excellent, accompanied by very good Sourdough Bread. And my Harris Ranch Prime Filet was cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. Three fine sauces, including Bearnaise and Peppercorn, harmonized nicely with the flavorful meat, and I enjoyed the cooked Shishito Peppers that came with the Filet.
But our server did not initially seem to understand the concept of Drawn Butter, and we were asked if we wanted an ordered Lobster Tail to share warm or cold. This was eventually sorted out, and our Lobster Tail did arrive warm with Drawn or Melted Butter. But inexplicably the lobster did not reach our table until about 20 minutes after the Filet. Miraculously the Filet stayed warm throughout this waiting period. And the Lobster was sweet and worth waiting for. Roasted Organic Mushrooms, thick Asparagus Spears, and a side of Classic Mac & Cheese with a 5-​cheese blend and breadcrumbs enhanced a delicious meal that was topped off by custard-​filled Donuts that were every bit as good as described by other reviewing Unilocalers.
Good live music in the form of a singer and guitar player added to a pleasant and casual yet refined contemporary atmosphere. To their credit, without any request for same, the manager and our waitress did take the Lobster Tail off the bill.
I was told that Onion Soup Gratinee will at some point return to the menu. And my food was excellent enough to prompt a return.
A solid 4 stars overall, with 5 stars for the food alone!

This is a beautiful restaurant with great décor. Located in the ever-​growing DT Summerlin mall, this seems like it will be a popular spot for all those rich old guys who want to take out-​of-​towners on an impressive dinner.
Service was also, overall, quite good. Friendly, slightly over-​talkative server, but timing of the meal was great (except when it slowed down a bit at the end).
I would almost give this place a 4^th star just for their Mac and Cheese Waffle… SO DELICIOUS and that cheese sauce… yum!
However, the remainder of the food was not as impressive. It was good, with fresh ingredients and well cooked, however nothing really stood out. I had the Yellowtail Crudo — which was fresh but nothing special, Skirt Steak — a little over-​cooked for medium, and meat was only ok, and finished with Ashley’s Crème Brulee Donuts — which sadly did not impress me any more than a krispy kreme donut would.
Overall, this is a lovely restaurant and food quality is good. But value-​for-​price, I would still probably go elsewhere.

This review is for their 2015 Las Vegas Restaurant Week menu.
Of course, it’s necessary that a high-​end shopping center such as Downtown Summerlin has its own steakhouse. The menus take a spin on classic, familiar favorites and isn’t limited to steak and seafood.
Although not on the three-​course Restaurant Week menu, I had to try the Hudson Valley Seared Foie Gras. Nestled upon toasted brioche with streaks of huckleberry jam on either side, this immediately became a hit at the table.
For my first course I ordered the Andiron Caesar. It’s your basic Caesar, but then again it isn’t. The salad was lightly dressed and accented with whole wheat croutons and large flakes of parmesan cheese. My boyfriend chose the Old Bay Shrimp Cocktail. Andiron’s take on the traditional 99¢ shrimp cocktail that you could probably still find in older downtown casinos. Two fresh, jumbo size shrimp accompanied by horseradish cocktail sauce to give your taste buds a bit of a zing.
I ordered the Scottish Salmon for my second course, mainly for its serrano ham crust. The meat was flaky and the artichokes accompanied the fish nicely. Cooked at medium-​rare, my boyfriend’s rib eye cap was delicious and tender.
We finished off dinner with a third course of dessert. After devouring one of Ashley’s Crème Brulee Donuts, I’m convinced that this is *the* dessert that everyone has to order while here; it was basically the highlight of dinner. The donuts are filled with vanilla custard that just oozes out after one bite. To my surprise, these weren’t dense. The donuts overshadow the Almond Cherry Clafoutis, dessert two. Now this one was dense and flan-​like. Despite a small serving of sweet vanilla ice cream, this didn’t win me over.
Dinner was wonderful, and the service was excellent. As a local, this is one neighborhood steakhouse that I wouldn’t remind returning to again.
