I had been eyeing this place for quite some time and decided it would be the perfect spot to celebrate my wife and my anniversary. I initially couldn’t secure a reservation through OpenTable, but after giving them a quick call, they were able to accommodate us—definitely worth the extra effort. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The timing of each course was impeccable, the food presentation was beautifully done, and the service was outstanding. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The atmosphere really stood out—warm, inviting, and perfect for a special occasion. We were seated in a booth, which added a nice touch of comfort and privacy to the experience. The steak sauces were especially memorable, each one adding a unique flavor that elevated the meal. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be coming back and will be recommending this place to friends and family.
Wow,,, steak at it's finest.... Wifey had the filet steak nice and tender one of the best 🤤..... I had the Chicken Parmesan great stuff...... But the best of all was the stuff mushrooms with artichoke hearts, first time see them on a menu.. and if I see them again we will order it for sure 😃😃😃. So happy eating and traveling... See y'all on the road 😂🤣
My brother and I made a reservation about 5 months ago. The wait was definitely worth it. Yes, it's pricey. If you drive to the restaurant, just know that parking is limited. We got lucky with an early dinner and the parking lot not being full. As soon as we walked in the hostess checked us in and we were taken to our table, seemed like less than a minute. There are less costly options, but let's be real, you come here to eat some of the best prepared beef in the world. My brother got a ribeye and I got the prime rib and we both got the table side Caesar salad. These were the best steaks I've ever tasted. Is there better out there, probably. This is an experience and it was really good.
My friends and were able to secure reservations and this restaurant did not disappoint. We had the most amazing culinary experience with old time charm. Waiters are in Tux's and are very service oriented. The fillet mignon was out of this world, tender and delicious. No wonder they are the oldest steak restaurant in Vegas!!
My husband has been talking about the Golden Steer for about 15 years. Due to a cancellation we were able to get a reservation last minute. The ambiance was great. The food was blah. Bread was hard. Shrimp was nothing special. My filet was lukewarm at best and his prime rib didn’t have much taste. Lobster was nothing special either. Wait staff was good.
