About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Lively

Rails Steakhouse is a modern American steakhouse offering carefully selected USDA Prime and CAB corn-fed beef, dry-aged a minimum of 28 days on-premise & hand-cut daily. We offer modern and contemporary dishes, including sustainable fresh seafood, homemade desserts, and an award-winning wine list recognized by Wine Spectator.

Attention to detail can be seen in this beautiful 20,000 sq. ft., restaurant where sprawling timber meets natural stonewalls, accents of glass showcase fire-and-water features in this luxe lodge. While all levels feature the same menu, the main dining room has a more sophisticated ambiance and Rafters on the second floor has a more casual lodge appeal. Descend to the lower level to find the secret passage that takes you to the wine cave, and Thirty 3, a speakeasy-style bar and lounge. Dine al fresco on our outdoor terraces offering spectacular views of the Pyramid Mountains. Most importantly, we want you to feel at home where our hospitality is second to none.

We went to the Lobster Boil which Rails offers on Mondays during the month of July. The lobster boil was fantastic! The service was less than mediocre! We sat at our table for 15 minutes before our server came over to us. She did not introduce herself. She never asked us if we needed more drinks or asked us how our meal was, or if we needed anything else.

We have been there many times and the noise level for a couple dining was annoying this time . However we were told by Jade the Manager that in the future we should request either the Library or Mosaics dining areas which tend to be quieter. Kevin our waiter was wonderful!

Our reservation was honored, and we were shown to our table immediately. Our server was fabulous. She knew it was my husband’s birthday and wished him a happy birthday , and at the end of the meal she brought him dessert with a candle in it as per my request on the reservation. She was very professional as well as amenable. Everything we ordered was presented beautifully. The food was excellent. I highly recommend Rails, and we will be going back.

I thought the steak (cowboy ribeye) was underwhelming. Its a wide but thin cut compared to some well thought of steak houses around. My steak was served medium although ordered medium rare. Basically a $35 steak trying to make it in the $50+ price range. However, the sides (creamed spinach and blue cheese au gratin potatoes) were great!
Rails SteakhouseResponded 5 days ago
Hi Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the sides, but we’re sorry the cowboy ribeye didn’t meet your expectations especially in terms of preparation and value. Your comments have been shared with our culinary team for review, as we’re always looking for ways to improve and deliver the consistency our guests deserve. We appreciate your honest insights and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the full experience we’re known for.

Food and service was excellant. Our waitress recommended great cocktails to try and we loved them. I ordered the honey burbon rib eye and it was one of the best I've ever had. Our sides included the sauteed spinich, potato hash and mushrooms. All excellent!!

Looking forward to welcoming you back for another great experience soon!

Exceptional meal and service! We went for my husband’s birthday and I requested a corner table which was perfect. Started with the calamari, delicious and then onto the ribeye and filet mignon, cooked to perfection. Sides, OMG the lobster mac and cheese was amazing, big chunks of lobster along with asparagus also very good! They sent us home(since we couldn’t eat another thing) with a huge piece of chocolate cake! We will absolutely be back soon!

Hi Kathy, Thank you for the glowing review! We’re honored you chose Rails to celebrate your husband’s birthday and thrilled to hear everything from the corner table and service to the steaks and sides made the evening special. We’re especially glad you loved the lobster mac and cheese and that the chocolate cake was a sweet send-off! We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable meal very soon! Have a great weekend!
