Every time we visit Miami, Papi Steak is an absolute must! We never miss a chance to eat there. Now that they’ve opened in Las Vegas, it’s even closer to us, and we’ve already visited twice! The food is absolutely incredible, the atmosphere is amazing, and the whole experience is always unforgettable. Hands down, some of the best kosher steaks I’ve ever had in my life! Everything is full of flavor and cooked to perfection. And that Mandarin sauce? WOW! Absolutely amazing and something you have to try! Great food, great vibes, and an incredible dining experience every single time. Papi Steak never disappoints! Definitely one of our favorite steakhouses, and we’ll keep coming back!
I went to Papi Steak on June 18th for my birthday and had a really great experience overall. Reservations are required and a credit card is needed to hold the booking, with a strict cancellation policy ($50 per person if canceled late), so plan ahead. The atmosphere is lively and upscale with a DJ, dim lighting, and a dress code, so it definitely feels like a dressed-up night out. The service was excellent—my waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and kept my sparkling water refilled throughout the night. For food, I had the lamb chops, Brussels sprouts, crab cake, and a cocktail. The lamb chops were the standout—absolutely amazing. The Brussels sprouts were surprisingly good, and the sides are generous enough to share. The crab cake was good but on the smaller side. Drinks and sides are fairly priced for an upscale spot, but overall this is an expensive dining experience—expect around $200+ per person. My total came to about $230 with tax and gratuity. I also got to see their $1,000 steak presentation, which was really entertaining and added to the high-energy vibe of the restaurant. The only downside was seating—I was placed toward the back as a solo diner, which wasn’t ideal—but overall I still enjoyed my birthday dinner. Great place for a special occasion if you’re ready to spend and want a fun, upscale experience.
Had an excellent dinner at Papi Steak, and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. We went on a Thursday around 6:30 PM, and I was actually surprised by how relaxed and quiet it was. It made for a much more enjoyable experience and gave the staff plenty of time to provide truly impeccable service. Every interaction felt polished, attentive, and professional. The steak was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The lobster was equally impressive and made for an outstanding meal from start to finish. The atmosphere is just plain cool. It feels like the kind of place where big business deals get made over dinner. A true power dinner destination. One unexpected surprise was our cocktail waitress, who showed up in full Las Vegas showgirl attire. Definitely not something you see every day, and it added to the unique Vegas experience. I also couldn’t help but notice the legendary $1,000 tomahawk steak on the menu that comes with its own over the top presentation. We didn’t order it, but just watching it make its way through the restaurant was entertainment all by itself. Outstanding food, immaculate service, and an atmosphere that feels distinctly Las Vegas. I would absolutely come back.
It’s hard to put Papi Steak into words because it’s so much more than just going out for a meal it’s a true fine-dining experience. From the high-energy vibe to the top-tier hospitality, the service was immaculate, seamless, and made the night feel extra special. The food was phenomenal. The Wagyu Pastrami was incredible, and the Rib Cap was cooked to absolute perfection so rich, tender, and packed with flavor. Yes, it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for. Between the quality of the food, the level of service, and the entire atmosphere, it is 100% worth every penny.
Another Strip steakhouse. I really want to give it a better rating for the amount we spent but I can’t justify it. The service is great- attentive and helpful. The food is nothing special- overpriced. Definitely had better steak in Vegas. Atmosphere is cool and chic. Very loud- hard to talk with friends - we ended up after dinner sitting at the hotel lobby to be able to catch up with friends. Yes it’s cool to purchase the beef case- great presentation. Cocktails were good.
