You tend to not want to buy in to restaurants that have celebrity chef hype but man, the food from Craftsteak is hands down one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. \n\nI was fortunate enough to attend a private brunch here for the Vegas Uncorked events. Having never been to Craftsteak, combined with the mass feeding of 200 people, you always go in with reservations that you're going to get food that has been churned out with the quality of mass production. Not the case here. \n\nWe were served a 3 course brunch with 5 dishes per course. The more the food came out, the better it kept getting. Every other word out of my mouth was \""wow\"" or \""holy sh*t this is good\"". Ok the latter was in my head. Among the notables, braised pork belly that melted in your mouth and the wagyu skirt steak in salsa verde that was cooked to perfection. I am a carnivore at heart and wow, those were seriously some of the best pieces of meat in my life. The food is simple too, nothing too overtly gourmet and complicated. Simple food, tons of flavor and noticeable quality. \n\nIf this is the kind of food they serve at an event I fear how awesome it would be on a regular night when you're getting something made to order. \n\nThe service was impeccable. If you got up to go to the restroom you came back to your napkin being refolded in your spot. It's details like that that set a place apart. I want my dining to be an experience, to be memorable. Craftsteak delivered that and more. The decor is swank, dark and well designed. Ambiance to the light of Edison bulbs? Combine that with amazing food and you got a win win situation. \n\nI really like what Tom Colicchio has done with this place, it is truly one of best places to eat in Las Vegas. Hands down. And well, sometimes celebrity chefs deserve the hype, he is one of them.
