Great Restaurant in Vegas.

Well last night our friend canceled because he wasn't feeling well and we decided to stay in the Mandalay Bay at one of their joints. So we decided to go to Strip Steak which is a Michael Mina restaurant. Apparently that means something.

Well let me tell you the service was superb. We didn't have a reservation and they put us in a table right in front of the waiter's station. There was just too much activity. So I called the hostess over and asked to move and they did it with out any fuss or muss. Very professional.

While we looking at our menus, they brought over an amuse bouche of fries which where deep fried in duck fat with three dipping sauces. Three bowls of fries each seasoned separately as well. Man they were delicious.

The appetizers were mostly fish and raw meat so we ordered side dishes as our appetizers. Beer battered onion rings and a delicious macaroni and cheese made with fotina cheese. It was great.

The main course was filet mignon seasoned to perfection. Side dishes of goat cheese potato au gratin and a big baked potato for me. It was unbelievable.

The desert were these little donuts with chocolate and caramel dipping sauce along with some caramel ice cream.

Oh and the wine list was great. It didn't have any prices listed which is a downer but I picked a great Spanish Rijoica which I knew would be comfortably in our price range.

The waitress was terrific and the manager came over to see that everything was all right. All and all it was a great meal, superbly prepared and served. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Actually, based on New York City prices it wasn't so bad. The wine went for $86 and the total check was $269. Very reasonable for the quality and service.
