Diner Reviews
  • "Not sure what all the buzz is about for this place. We went because of Tom's name and weren't impressed. For the price it definitely wasn't worth it for us at all. The service was great, though the noise made it very hard to hear the waiter. We never wanted for water, though, and that's always nice. We both ordered the Waygu (American) and we're expecting it to be juicy, very tender and overall amazing. Maybe we don't know what we're talking about but the meat was...well. No wow factor in the slightest and for that much money, I want a wow! It was pretty chewy and not overly tender, although that could have partly been the fault of the knife. The scallops were just okay. We've had better steak at our local place. Maybe it's just us."

  • "Had a great dinner here, did the family style dinner and even with 8 people still didn't finish all the meal. Good dinner all around Would have liked to see a featured wine, white and red, option, Sommiliier was good but with the group we had some experienced and some just wanting wine, we ended up with a nice French, and then asked for a Malbec, they didn't give us a choice just brought the higher priced option. being only 2 on the menu and then proceded to pour into same wine glasses as the French... Been here a couple times and I was the one who recommended it, I will be back, not sure of others"

  • "Everything was great except for the steaks. My girlfriends had a gamie taste and mine had so much fat I only ate three small slices. Major disappointment. For 400.00 I should not have a steak like that."

  • "I was looking forward to my visit at Craftsteak - I'm a huge Top Chef fan. My entree was excellent, braised short ribs. I was disappointed with my lobster bisque however. I was so looking forward to it but found it way too watery and not much seasoning. Otherwise, service was good, and rest of the meal was tasty."

  • "Colicchio really hits this one out of the park. Food (apps, steaks & sides) were excellent, space is simple and refined, service was very very good. In a city full of great dining, Craftsteak is very worth the trip to the (in my opinion, unimpressive) MGM Grand. Save room for the monkey bread dessert, you'll question how it's legal to serve that ... it's that good. Highly recommend."

  • "I've been to 5 Steak Houses in Vegas (Cut, Brand, Stripsteak, Vic and Anthony) and this was my least favorite. My Ribeye was tough...I thought I had a dull knife, but it was the steak. It was also flavorless. My friend ordered a filet medium, and it came rare. Other friend ordered the "European Sea Bass" that tasted like cheap Talapia. Server was not helpful with selections. One bright spot was the space. Tables are spaced apart nicely in the main dining area."

  • "The food was very good, the servers attentive and very knowledgeable and the wine list comprehensive with some not so well known bottles. It is a little big for more intimate occasions but well decorated. Very much worth going to."

  • "Only if your waiter doesn't advise you of it, and everyone orders a side that could be shared for maybe 3-4 people. We all ordered this and left about 3/4 on the table at then end of the meal. With such a high cost of each component to the meal, I wish the waiter would have been kind enough to have let us know! I may have tipped him better! So, if you are REALLY hungry! go for it....if not gorging yourself! then share! Salads good, but huge too. Good risotto."
    Dined on 3/6/2014
  • "Our group loved the decor, the service was exceptional (although we did wait quite a while for our entrees) and the food was delicious. Easily in our top 5 Vegas destinations. My one critique would be that our party wished that the server had mentioned that side dishes were large enough to share. We all ended up with WAY too much food...and it seemed like something the server could have prevented, if he'd been so inclined."

  • "Nothing notably good or bad. Well prepared, high quality ingredients. No truly composed dishes. Overflow room does not match ambience not price of restaurant."

  • "I went here for my 30th birthday on a friend's recommendation. I was pretty excited to eat here, howecer the food was just not good. Way too greasy and oily. My friend said it was much better the last time he went..."

  • "My wife and I are avid foodies and treated ourselves to dinner at Craft for my wife's' 40th birthday. We opted for the Domestic Wagyu Chef's Selection which included 13 dishes all done to perfection. The staff was equally as fantastic as the meal. We will make Craft a staple on all our future trips to Sin City. The only compliant we had was the photographer roaming the floor trying to sell very expensive snapshots during our meal."

  • "steak was fair at best. short ribs were very good. dessert excellent. Try the billionaire cocktail."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "The ambiance and service was excellent! The food was delicious! The only one small change I would like to see is that the tables are set a little too close to each other for my liking. So we got to over hear a lot of conversation from the next tables even though we weren't trying to! Overall a very nice restaurant. :)"
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "I was really looking forward to this dining experience, but ultimately left disappointed. A friend and I split the short ribs, asparagus, risotto, potato gratin, and hen of the woods mushrooms. The portion of short ribs was very generous - definitely enough for two. They tasted good but were really fatty, so we didn't eat a lot of that. The asparagus was fine, nothing special. The risotto was very good but too salty. The potato gratin was again, fine. The hen of the woods mushroom were disappointing. They were not flavorful at all. To sum up, this food was far too average for the cost. We left at least 50% of it behind."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "As a Top Chef fan, I was excited to check out Craftsteak. Tom, take your own advice and add some seasoning. The steak itself was amazing. The salads and potato sides that my husband and I had were not very memorable. My salad had too many slimy pieces in it and my husband wasn't all that impressed with the Caesar salad . The potato sides were bland. I expected to pay a bit more cause of the name, but was highly disappointed with the taste."

  • "My wife and I really enjoyed our evening. The tasting menu was superb!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "I was very excited to eat steak here, but was disappointed in the steak itself. The wagu beef tartar appetizer was excellent! The sides were very good. The steak was just not that flavorful and I could taste that they use propane instead of charcoal on their grill."
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "Great ambiance aside from the three juveniles seated beside us. The waiter was very knowledgeable and quite helpful regarding some food allergies. Sommelier helped us choose an excellent cab sav. Food was out of this world good…best ribeye I've ever had!!"
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Filet mignon needs more flavor.bland. fingerling potatoes lack flavor and were dry. spinach needed more garlic. monkey bread outstanding. Nice wine selection"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Server never asked if I wanted to take my left-overs, just cleared the table and that was that. Spending so much as a solo diner I would expect the option"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Overall had a really fantastic dinner. Food was good, service was terrific ... if I were to knock them for anything, it would be their incredibly 'limited' wine list. They had plenty of wines, but only if you are interested in spending $250 ~ $5,000 per bottle .. I suppose it has to do with them being in Vegas."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Expensive but the service and quality of food and wine is top notch. U would expect nothing less from a top chef judge and chef."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "I was looking forward to this experience but was disappointed. The ambience and service were fine. Got oysters which were great. But the steak (ribeye roasted) was tasteless. The Caesar salad was bland. And the sommelier recommended a horrible bottle. It tasted borderline turned. For a 150 bottle it tasted like a 30$ bottle. Overall ok meal but poor in fulfilling expectations. Would not go back. In contrast went to Joel robichon la talier tonight. Amazing and cheaper."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "The staff was wonderful and attentive. The 24 hour braised short ribs were amazing! The filet mignon was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The Parker House rolls melt in your mouth. The side dishes wonderful and hard to choose between. This is our new "go to" restaurant in Las Vegas."
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "I was told that we should get the 3 course tasting menu and they were right. 5 of us shared numerous salads/apps, every Wagyu steak they had, numerous sides and every dessert they had. I've certainly had better Wagyu before but the spread was pheomenal. First impression was awkward when our server didn't know what Aperol is when I ordered an Aperol and Soda to start. He seemed offended that I ordered something he wasn't familiar with and didn't even check with the bartender to see if they had it (how do you work in Tom Coliccio's flagship and not know what Aperol is???). Otherwise, amazing dinner, incredible somm service."

  • "This was our send-off meal the night before we left Vegas, and we definitely feel that we had saved one of the best for last. We were floored by the attentive staff, and how kind and knowledgeable they were. The food, I'm sure I don't need to tell you, is out of this world. Lots of options for wonderful cuts of steak, prepared in a myriad of ways. The sides are spectacular, as is the fresh, warm, bread. If youre into cocktails: do yourself a favor - the raspberry martini is fabulous. Great for family style dining or special dates - but be prepared to pay for what you get. We felt for what we got that it was well worth the price tag. Highly recommended!"

  • "Three of us embarked on what I hoped would be a dining extravaganza. However, when the salads came out before we had finished our appetizers, I knew we were looking at a potential disaster. And, unfortunatly that is what happened. Our entrees arrived after we finished our salads but steak temperatures were off. A new steak was prepaired and again not cooked correctly. Drinks, sides and desert were also ordered. It was ashame, of course the waitress blamed the cooks. But I knew better."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "I read so many reviews about this restaurant. I took my dad here for his 70'th birthday. I ordered the Shortribs, because everyone was saying they were the best. My dad ordered the New York Strip. My Shortribs were fatty and horrible and his steak was great. So I guess it's all about the chef and what is good that day. I dropped over $200 for a dinner I didn't even eat."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Arrived early for my reservation and was seated right away (I was early for dinner and the place did fill up as the evening went). Waitress was great. Steak was great, but at the price it should be. Perfectly cooked. Brussle sprouts and beet salad were excellent. Beet salad is HIGHLY recommended if you like beets. Good sized portions. Monkey bread was great for desert (I was way to stuffed to fully enjoy it). Only complaint ... put salt on the table. The food was seasoned, but I tend to like my food a little saltier than most."
    Dined on 2/17/2014
  • "I made reservations 2 months in advance for Valentines Day. We were seated in a back corner, by a door. Terrible location. Our wait staff seemed hurried to get us in and out. The food was a disappointment, especially for the prices. The quality of the food average, vegetables- luke warm at best. Wine was very over priced. The prices were nearly double what we pay at our local restruants for the same bottle. Too much hype and short on delivery. Would not recommend."

  • "We went to this restaurant right after the KA show at MGM Grand, and chose it mostly for proximity. Well, the food easily rivaled the "big bang" experience of the show - and was a wonderful way to savor the Cirque du Soleil experience. I had the bison steak, which was done just right - medium rare. The cranberry sauce, the fingerling potatoes (sides) and the other entrees ordered by our group (baby back ribs, flank steak) - were all cooked to near perfection as well. Perhaps a touch more salt than I would have liked, but this was just a smidgen of imperfection. Overall, a great meal - if a tad expensive (I'm glad my brother picked up the bill)!"
