Phil’s Italian Steak House

Weak in general. I stopped in with a couple of friends for a nice dinner. Service was generally very slow, it seemed they were understaffed. Started with the Bacon and Cheese Bread, which is a clear win when coupled with the herb butter. For a couple of apps, we ordered the Shrimp Cocktail and Ahi Tuna. 4 large but not impressive shrimp and a sauce made up the cocktail. The Ahi was pepper crusted to an extreme level, and the tuna was lacking in flavour. I added a wedge salad, which was a bit different that usual. It seemed to have a sparse amount of blue cheese, and chopped egg white, with a very salty dressing.
For the main, I ordered the English Cut Prime Rib, with garlic mashed, spinach and a Yorkshire pudding. There was a onion gravy that tasted more like a mix than anything scratch made. Unfortunately, there was no gravy on the Yorkshire pudding, rendering it a chewy, hollow biscuit.
The prime rib was reasonably well done, but lacking in flavour. Some of the salt from the salad could have been diverted!
I could not finish the meal, and skipped on desert. So far, the only part of the meal I immensely enjoyed was the bread starter course. Unfortunate, because I like this hotel!

Sat at the bar for happy and had french dip sliders, they were good not great but the bartender told to try the lamb sliders next time. I would go back and again and heed his advice because they are suppose to be the best thing on the happy hour menu.

Located in Treasure Island, this is the «upscale» dining option. Since I was taking myself out on a date night, I decided I would have a lovely dinner before going to see the show. They offered a Prix Fixe menu at $ 45 a person, which offered a full 4 course meal.
They start the meal with bread in a bag, and 2 forms of butter (margarine, sad face) one regular, the other is sour cream and chive. The bread had onion and bacon in it, and was quite tasty. The starter was either salad or soup, and so I choose French Onion soup.
There were choices to make and for my protein, I opted for the 6oz center cut fillet cooked med rare, and it was delicious, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I ate EVERY bite.
Dessert was absolutely to die fore, it was cappuccino crème brûlée… some people don’t get crème brûlée right they did! The top was perfect and had that right break and the inside was delicious and creamy, all in all an absolutely delicious meal.
But $ 4.00 for coffee and $ 4.00 for water? Eh…

Ummm… that’s not a steak!
Located in the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. The facility was nice and the service was decent — my glass of water never saw half full. I ordered the surf and turf (lobster tail and filet mignon). Now I’m from Dallas so I’ve had my fair share of amazing steaks (Nick and Sams $ 35/​oz Wagyu from the Kobe prefecture in Japan) and this my friend wasn’t one of them. First off I asked for medium rare and it was definitely charred to a medium. Second… did they just completely miss the seasoning? Typically you don’t need any but cmon… keep it simple with some salt and pepper at least. The lobster tail wasn’t bad, however, I did drown it in lemon and butter so who knows really… hehe.
I will say the sides were pretty delicious, but can you really mess up mashed potatoes

I’m not sure why this place only has 3 stars. We had a wonderful dinner here. Very classic steakhouse menu, with an easy vibe. We went in at 9 for dinner on a Thursday. We were not rushed to get out the door as a lot of places do these days. The food was excellent! My only complaint in an otherwise fantastic meal is that the steaks were overdone to what we had specified. It was still so good even being overcooked!

I was fascinated with the name Steakhouse as I was passing through to get my show ticket. So in my mind I told myself I’ll go back there and try it. Since I have more than an hour to spare, I went back and got seated right away by the hostess. Then the waitress came by to ask what I want to drink and I told her. Then the main waiter came to my table. Mario was his name. I was speechless. He’s quite tall, slender and good looking. More like Italian to me. So he gave me all options of food and I ordered their pork chops. Just simple yet the way it was cooked, it was so delicious. That was a wonderful meal. Not too much. It was perfect. I don’t mind coming here again.

Good food. Steak and Lobster cooked perfectly. Large Baked Potato is really big and good. 5 starts on the food. The service was just ok. Would definitely return when in Vegas.

Since is a tourist place and I shouldn’t be expecting the best then, they shouldn’t be expecting 5 stars either.
Last week, 4 of us were attending Mysteré at TI and didnt have time to Unilocal better places, so we kinda were stuck at TI’s ‘best’ restaurant, the one above. So the story short that was the worst food I have ever tasted despite my low expectations and high prices. The one star is for Eddie, our waiter. Oh and at the end a lady who never introduced herself came three times to take our full plates. I wished we had gone to in’n out burger.

Nah nothing special, over priced and some of the steaks are not even prime. 18 bucks for a caesar. No thanks. Lighting was way to bright. All in all for a «high» end steak house its on the lower side of them.

Was really tasty. Had the scallops caprese, and the were fresh and tasty. Ordered the veal oscar and it was really good too. Ive learned that in Vegas eat very cheap or very expensive. The places that have entrees at the $ 25 to 30 mark serve very substandard food.

Wpw staff gets it. Salad perfect size. Steaks great. Vegies & baked potato yum. Wine list very good. Finished with coffee & port. Waiters are A1.

Probably one of the worst prime rib dinners I have had in a long time. When I made the reservations I told the hostess that we were celebrating our 23 wedding anniversary, I was asked if we had been to the restaurant before and I explained that we had not… I now think they asked this because they could not believe we were coming back. We arrived early and were seated right away, the hostess looked like she was in pain or going to cry, this look did not change the rest of the night. I ordered ice tea and was brought bottles tea ($ 5), what? But okay. The bread to start was really good cheddar bacon rolls. We ordered the special, prime rib with garlic mashed, upside down Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, and onion gravy. I asked if I could substitute a different vegetable for the spinach and was told I could for an extra charge. The prime rib was tough and flavorless, my husband’s needed too be redone because they put the gravy on it after he asked for it to be left off so mine was cold by the time his came out.
Half way through our meal it got very loud because there was a work party in the other part of the restaurant that apparently started doing gifts or something, 20+ people all laughing. Not usually a problem but as I said this was our anniversary and we were seated right by the room they were in. I wish they had told me that there was a large party already booked at that time when I made the reservation.
All on all it was a disappointing dinner, I am sorry that we choose to go there for our special night.

Boldly unoriginal, and that’s Good! Went with the pre-​fixe menu for $ 45. For starter, I chose the iceberg wedge topped with thick bacon pieces, diced tomato, egg, and drizzled with blue cheese dressing. No fancy field greens or candied walnuts here! A traditional plain good old steak house salad!!! Entrée; 6 oz filet with whipped mash potatoes and asparagus. Is this menu from the 80’s? Probably, but it’s ok because the food was GOOD!!! Restaurants have gone too far. They often try too hard to impress with exotic ingredients or out of the box presentation. Whatever happened to food being good for what it is? FLAVOR, EXECUTION, SERVICE, that’s all it takes! I digress. The filet was perfectly cooked to a MedRare. Flavorful without being overwhelming, allowing the steaks natural juices and essence to come through in each bite. Potato mash was good. Potatoes were whipped with butter and garlic coming on each taste. Asparagus was also cooked perfectly through to the center while maintaining a crispness on the outside. Lastly the cappuccino crème brûlée. Yeah you read right. Cappuccino. A slight twist on the old favorite? Do I detect a spark of creativity? Again, well executed with the right amount brulee sugar and delicately prepared to get the hint of coffee and still stay true to the timeless classic.
If I were to meet Phil I would say, «Phil, you’re menu is boring but I LOVE it. Don’t change a thing». :)

Very quiet place (aside from the guests at the bar) with great, attentive service. My halibut was delicious and came with beet root risotto and shrimp. The sauces and risotto all went together perfectly. My husband doesn’t like asparagus and his entrée came with it so I got his and they were cooked to utter perfection.
Everything was delicious, I was soooo full but couldn’t stop eating! They have a deal for s three course meal you get it for $ 45 and the waiter even upgraded our steak for that price.
Really nice and fast service and it was great so I would return if in that hotel around dinner time again.

I was surprised to find that this place only got three stars as I am rating it a five. The food was superb. My significant other and I started off at the bar on happy hour and I got the margarita and we ordered a flatbread pizza with Alfredo sauce and clams – it was DELICIOUS. I would go back just for that. After we were able to go in earlier than our reservation which was awesome. I ordered the steakhouse experience and he got the ahi tuna. We started out with lobster and corn chowder that is one of the best that I’ve had. I didn’t try the ahi but the risotto with his meal was also some of the best I’ve ever tried. My steak with lobster and bernaise sauce was to die for. I highly recommend anyone give this place a try.

Sunday — Thursday is Happy Hour from 4p — 6p but thankfully, they were serving it on Friday.
$ 7 Cocktails & $ 7 Appetizers starting price.
Lamb Sliders (2), served with Chips — Meh. The lamb was incredibly dry!
I forgot the name of the cocktail I ordered but it was sweet & the bartender was generous with the alcohol. My girlfriends had ordered different ones & they had said the same thing about their drink.

I give it 3 stars for the entertainment factor that is the refilling of the water.
We came here for dinner after the Mystere show. I wasn’t impressed with the food, honestly. I ordered seared ahi appetizer, and was brought a small plate with literally 4 bites of ahi, and a ridiculous amount of sauce. (I would loved to have some ahi with my sauce.) it was something like $ 20. I’m used to paying less for much more/​better quality here in so cal. I then ordered a wedge salad. It was a decent size, lots of tomatoes, bacon, and bleu cheese crumbles, and about a gallon of bleu cheese salad dressing. It was absurd. At that point I was over ordering any real food, because if you can’t make a dish as simple as a wedge salad, I’m not confident in your abilities to cook an over priced piece of meat better than I can. I regret not going across the street to Ruth’s Chris.
Ok, so the water story. I appreciate that they kept me so hydrated. Its Vegas, so cocktails throughout the day is just what you do. I was seriously parched and immediately drank my glass of «tap» water. (Sorry, wasn’t going to be that pretentious and order a pellegrino.) It’s like the servers and busses were watching me, because the second I put my still almost full water glass down, they came back right away to refill it. And aggressively at that. They never once spilled, but the entire table was cracking up and surprised that we weren’t given a shower with each refill, which was literally after every sip. Anyway, I guess you had to be there. It just seemed so SNL.

Diane and I finished up Restaurant Week with an enjoyable four-​course dinner at this fine steak house tucked in the midst of Treasure Island. Shrimp in an added Shrimp Cocktail appetizer were big and meaty but not perfectly deveined. Very good French Onion Soup arrived in a small cast iron crock with a nice chewy mix of Swiss and Gruyère Cheese and very tasty hot broth swiftly breaking down an easily yielding croûton. As a solid alternative, Lobster Corn Chowder had a nice mix of vegetables to go with the bits of lobster and creamy soup. Complimentary lengths of Baked Potato Bread with Bacon tasted somewhat like a Baked Potato with large bacon chips, and was somewhat addicting. Before entrees arrived, I downed three knobby segments of this unusual bread product myself, alternately lubricating them with regular butter and Chive Butter.
For my main, I enjoyed a buttery, perfectly medium rare 8 oz. Filet which went well with a great drinkable, made-​fresh-​daily Bearnaise Sauce and real yummy Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Grilled Asparagus on the plate was also nicely prepared.
For dessert I liked both Black Forest Bread Pudding with Bing Cherries and a sweet Berry Sauce, and glassy Cappuccino Crème Brulee which appropriately tasted more like Cappuccino than pure coffee.
Service was good on the whole, but there were a couple of service errors. Our waiter forgot to keep the shrimps out of the Cocktail Sauce, and peppers out of the Lobster Corn Chowder as requested to please Diane’s sensitive palate. But these were but temporary setbacks. I willingly licked the robust Cocktail Sauce off a shrimp before presenting it to Diane, and our server quickly returned with a replacement pepper-​less bowl of Chowder for her.
The ambiance here is classy, with banquettes and linen-​covered tables in front, and a few cushy booths in the back. The dining room was full on a Friday night, and occasionally rather loud.
Everything considered, this was a solid four-​star dining experience, and I will likely be back.

Was insulted after enjoying a meal with my wife, by the Manager. While going to the restroom, I told The Manager that «My meal was great!» Immediately, The Manager replied «O, DID YOU HAVE THE CHICKEN?»
Being African-​American I find this very insulting. I felt stereotyped.
Why would you ask «Did I Have The Chicken» and I am dining at a steakhouse.
Next time, The Manager’s reply should be «WHAT DID YOU ORDER» or a simple «THANK YOU, GLAD YOU ENJOYED»
WE ONLY DINED HERE BECAUSE WE WERE HOTEL GUEST.
ROBERTO AND EDGAR PROVIDED US GREAT ATTENTION AND SERVICE… the manager needs to follow suit.

This was a great place for happy hour. I came here several times during my stay.
At the bar it’s $ 7 cocktails and appetizers. I got some really great sliders during happy hour. The drinks and food in here are cheaper than anywhere else at Treasure Island during 5 – 7.
It’s a nice atmosphere. Friendly bartenders. Good choice of lounge snacks. Good drinks. This is the place to be between 5 and 7. The only catch is that you have to sit at the bar, and there aren’t many seats. Get there early!
