Located in the Stratosphere, this restaurant exceeds my expectations by far. Walking into the Stratosphere, I didn't necessarily expect anything amazing since the vibe and the quality of the Stratosphere is, to be blunt, not as upscale as the middle of the strip.\n\nWhen we entered at 6:30PM, we were immediately seated in the bar area (you MUST be 21+ to sit here). Normally, you have to make reservations for the back, non-bar area. Immediately once we were seated, our drink orders were taken. Happy hour ends at 7PM! \n\nSERVICE:\nI'm pretty sure the front area was understaffed. I only saw one cheerful and bubbly waitress the entire hour we were there. Only when I was leaving did I start to see other servers come out to help. We waited 20 mins for our food, but they do serve all your dishes together, and still hot!! What made the service for me was the incredibly friendly waitress. She was quick and prompt, and kept checking up on us. I have no other word to describe her, except bubbly!\n\nThey did charge us two cups of coffee...I don't know why but they did. But the hostess was easy to work with and took it off our bill immediately, no questions/arguments asked.\n\nFOOD:\nWe ordered a few minutes later: raspberry wave (vodka), margarita blended with a salted rim, bloody marry, Calamari, Kansas Chopped Salad with Beef Tenderloin Tips, 1lb Steak, and ribs. They start you off with sweet bread and butter; unexpected but I liked it! It's not crazy sweet, but it's definitely lightly sweetened - heads up!\n\nThe raspberry wave is a vodka drink that is super sweet. I loved it! There wasn't any alcoholic taste and it had a little carbonation, which was awesome. The margarita, well, was a margarita. The bloody mary is okay, but I personally do not like tomato juice and any the spicy after taste.\n\nThe calamari is good. Fried small rings of calamari with fried green onion on top to give it that nice crunchy texture. There was chili tartar and cilantro pesto sauce that was delicious!\n\nThe Kansas Chopped Salad was greens with smoked cheddar, avocado, and your choice of dressing. There are no sour dressings, except balsamic so don't ask for thousand island or anything. The salad was pretty good though! The cheddar was cubed and the smokey taste was a nice change. The put the dressing on the side instead of drenching the salad, props!\n\nThe 1 lb. steak actually isn't that big. The steak is actually a T-bone, meaning you get both a filet and rib-eye. It's like a two for one! I asked for medium rare and it was cooked nicely. The meat was tender and still very moist. The sauce was dark and salty. I'm not exactly sure what it was but it wasn't overpowering and kept me dipping my steak back in it! There was a small side of caramelized onions; wish there was more. The steak also comes with either a side of baked potatoes or fries. If you want a loaded baked potato it's $3 more. I thought the loaded was worth it though; it comes with generous portions of sour cream, green onion, cheese, bacon bits, and butter. You can also ask for more for no charge. Impressive. \n\nFood: 4/5. Service: 4/5.
