First time here , December 19 , for dinner. What a great night. I've been coming to the Palms for years and never dined here. The atmosphere is classy and a mix of modern and classic old steakhouse. The service is great , Joseph S. was my server and he was really on top of things. I started with the best Old Fashioned I've ever had and followed by a great steak and sides.

Everything was so good. Lots of people talk about the Golden Steer , but this place blows it away. I went there years ago with my son for my birthday and he said " Dad you cook a better steak at home ! " Needless to say we never went back. It was so bland and overpriced. I can't complain about anything I had here except I wish the egg on the Wagyu Fried Rice was more runny to blend with the rice better.
So on to the food , the steak was seasoned just enough and with the Bordelaise Sauce to dip it a little it was delicious. The Wagyu Fried Rice tasted a little nutty with the mushrooms in it which I normally don't like mushrooms , but they went perfectly with the dish and the Japanese Beef was sooo good in it ! I wasn't going to get the Garlic Potato Puree , but I read so many good reviews I had to try it and man was it good. I usually want a baked potato with a steak , but this was really good. The French Bread they start you with is round and has 4 pieces and seasoned with butter and they give you some on the side. It was warm and tasty. The Truffle Chips were okay , I'm not a big truffle guy , but they were freshly made and crispy. They did pair well with the Old Fashioned as well as the French Bread.
I was too stuffed for a dessert , but the table next to me had a birthday and they brought out the
FIREBALL SMORES $19

which was pretty cool to watch and of course the husband was videoed it.
All in all I would highly recommend you coming here for a special occasion or to treat yourself to a great meal. They also do a SOCIAL HOUR , Mon - Thurs 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM with a Limited Discount Menu. So if you want to save a couple dollars and give them a try , this is a great way to do so. I will definitely be back and may just pop in some time for another one of those High West Old Fashioneds.
