TENDER steak and seafood Restaurant

This restaurant in Las Vegas truly impressed me! The dishes were delicious and fresh, and the ambiance was incredibly calming. The 3/4 round booths were both spacious and comfortable. Our server was exceptionally well-versed in the menu and provided excellent service. I definitely plan to return on all my future trips to Vegas!

I absolutely LOVED this place! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing with comfortable tall, semi-circular booths. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. I will definitely be visiting every time I'm in Vegas!

Our second visit to TENDER Steak and Seafood was outstanding! While our first experience was enjoyable, this time was even more impressive. Our server, Thom, played a significant role in enhancing our evening. The service was impeccable, and he was incredibly personable, guiding us expertly through the menu when we were uncertain. The steaks were exceptionally tender, the shrimp and lobster delicious, and the cheesecake provided a delightful finish. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant.

Overall, TENDER Steak and Seafood offers a decent meal at a reasonable price. Considering a stay at Park MGM, a comparable meal there would likely cost almost twice as much. One of the servers, Mike, was training two individuals, Hector and Nicole. Unfortunately, Hector appeared uninterested and unengaged, spending much of the meal chatting with coworkers, crossing his arms, yawning, and using his phone. Despite Mike’s efforts to provide guidance, such as explaining when to clear plates, Hector seemed unresponsive. On a positive note, Mike crafted a delicious martini and demonstrated genuine care in his work. Nicole, on the other hand, was attentive and proactive. She asked pertinent questions, had a great smile, and displayed the qualities of a quick learner—someone any employer would value. Overall, I would rate this experience a 3 out of 5. If not for the distracting behavior of Hector, the rating could have been a 4.

Caesar salad at TENDER Steak and Seafood offers a unique twist with the addition of lemon zest. The bread served was well-balanced, not too hard nor too soft. For the main course, New York strip steak medium-well was accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and lobster mac and cheese. The first bite of the steak was seasoned to perfection, but subsequent bites revealed it was slightly too pink for a medium-well order. Upon returning, the steak came back well done, overcooked for my preference, which unfortunately diminished my appetite. The lobster mac and cheese had a different taste, likely from the variety of cheeses used, along with a hint of smokiness. The garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus stood out as particularly enjoyable highlights of the meal. Service was friendly and attentive, although they didn't seem to pick up on my continued disappointment with the steak. I chose not to return the dish a second time or make a fuss. Dessert consisted of a chocolate mousse cake with roasted granola. The flavor was pleasant, though the base, reminiscent of a raspberry parfait, wasn’t to my taste. Overall, the experience was disappointing as the main dish failed to meet expectations, leaving me unsatisfied despite the considerable cost of the meal. This review reflects the experience as of 7/1/2024.

I had some difficulty securing a reservation at Tender steak and seafood, but eventually managed to book a table for Friday evening. The restaurant was not very busy when we arrived, with only a few tables occupied in the room we were seated in. For starters, I tried the crabcake which was decent but not exceptional. My dining companion had the lobster soup, which was lacking in flavor and seemed to be lacking in lobster as well. Our entree, the bone-in Tommy Hawk steak, was cooked well but a bit gristly and not as flavorful as expected. The accompanying sauces were a nice touch though. We also ordered the lobster Mac, which was dry and lacking in taste, and the cheese grits which were excellent. The huckleberry cheesecake we had for dessert was outstanding and definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, the service was good and the restaurant had a lovely old-fashioned decor. Our bill came to $390 for two people. I did try to provide some feedback to the restaurant management but unfortunately did not receive a response. In conclusion, Tender steak and seafood has room for improvement in terms of food quality and customer service.
