Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak

I went into Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak at the MGM Grand with great expectations, but it sadly fell short. My group opted for the tasting menu, and although the service was exceptional and the ambiance was typical of a luxury steakhouse, the main attraction—the steak—was a letdown. We sampled multiple cuts, each surprisingly lacking in flavor. For a venue that highlights steak in its name, this was quite disappointing. While the steaks didn’t impress, the salads and side dishes were excellent. In fact, a name like "Craftsalad" would more accurately capture where the restaurant truly excels. Considering the price of the meal, I found myself barely touching the food on my plate. To put it simply, I've experienced far superior steaks at casual eateries like Longhorn. While this visit allowed me to check Craftsteak off my list, I won't be making a return trip. Out of my six-day getaway, this dining experience ranks as the most underwhelming—even less impressive than a meal from the Horseshoe food court.

Craftsteak in Las Vegas offers an outstanding dining experience. The service was exceptional, with knowledgeable staff who provided expert recommendations tailored to our preferences. The food arrived promptly and was served hot, boasting extraordinary flavors with perfectly cooked steaks, innovative side dishes, and unforgettable desserts. Although short on time due to evening plans, the craft cocktails we enjoyed were impeccable. The ambiance combines luxury with subtle elegance, creating an inviting space. Craftsteak is undoubtedly a must-visit when in Vegas.

If you're planning to indulge in a dining experience on the Las Vegas Strip, make Craftsteak your top choice. The atmosphere here is exceptional, whisking you away from the casino hustle. The ambiance is inviting, with gentle music, warm lighting, and a spacious feel thanks to the high ceilings. The seating is comfortably luxurious. The service is outstanding, marked by a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine warmth. Our every need was anticipated without having to ask. And now, the food—absolutely phenomenal. We tried the skirt steak and lamb rack, and both dishes were exquisite. If pressed to choose, the skirt steak stood out with its robust and divine flavors. The lamb was also excellent, but its flavors were slightly subtler. For sides, the potato puree and baby spinach were relatively simple but served as effective palate cleansers between bites. Next time, choosing one side might suffice. Their version of the espresso martini, dubbed the "Wake Up Call," was a delightful surprise. It featured a playful Grinch garnish, fitting perfectly with the holiday spirit. Sweet, but in a balanced way—a rarity for those who don't typically prefer sweet cocktails. My dining companion enjoyed an Old Fashioned, noting its appealing strength. To finish, we indulged in the pistachio ice cream, which was both refreshing and delicious. Craftsteak truly provides a memorable culinary journey.

Absolutely delighted by the dining experience at Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak in Las Vegas. The service was outstanding, with the staff being exceptionally attentive and helpful in guiding us through drink, entrée, side, and dessert selections. The portions were generous for our group. I highly recommend trying the Smoking Barrels. The Monkey Bread was astonishing. My Filet was cooked to perfection, and the NY Strip was equally impressive. Although the seafood options were tempting, the allure of steak here was simply irresistible.

We had an incredible night at Craftsteak in Las Vegas! The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. I was too excited to take photos before digging in, which speaks to how good everything was. For starters, we had the heirloom tomatoes and warm frisée salad. For our entrées and sides, we enjoyed the scallops, halibut, asparagus, potatoes, and cauliflower. While everything was fantastic, the heirloom tomatoes, scallops, and cauliflower stood out especially. For dessert, we indulged in monkey bread and were pleasantly surprised with a baked Alaska, a delightful flaming dessert that added a fun touch to our experience. We highly recommend sitting in Kevin’s section if you visit. He is an amazing waiter and truly made our night unforgettable. Kevin was entertaining and kind, ensuring that our evening was one of the best we’ve had. Martin also provided excellent service by clearing our plates and keeping our water glasses filled, all while being fun to talk to. He even provided moral support to help me finish the last bites of my dessert. You will leave Craftsteak full, satisfied, and incredibly happy, as the staff treats you like family and makes you never want to leave. Thank you for such a wonderful night!

The service at Craftsteak was top-notch. Our servers Mario, Patricia, and Jared were all fantastic. Patricia provided detailed descriptions of the food, while Jared was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Our Anniversary dessert was a special touch that made the experience even more memorable. The food was outstanding, overall making for an amazing dining experience. Thank you, Craftsteak!
