Best Steak in Vegas: BOA Comes in Third

Best Steak in Vegas: BOA Comes in Third

Each year that I return to Vegas, I go on the hunt for a good steak. I believe in at least one splurge meal per trip, and if I’m going to splurge, I want some red meat.

This year, I looked at all the "Best" lists on the Internet for the best steak, and in almost every list, the BOA Steakhouse in Caesar’s Palace was listed among the top five. So I made reservations online for BOA for a 6:30 dinner on a Thursday night. While busy, I was surprised the restaurant wasn’t packed, but maybe that was a day-of-the-week thing.

The décor was very modern with straight lines, and appealing in browns, whites and reds, with some bare tree trunks – I interpreted it as moderately Asian style.

We were seated immediately, and our waiter came by in his crisp uniform to tell us about the specials and take our drink order. He was quite personable, and talked to us about our trip, what was on our agenda, his studies, what the locals do in Vegas, etc. If I had to rate the restaurant on service alone, this would've been one of my best experiences ever.

We waited a bit longer than I’d like before we were served our dinner. It took about 35 minutes of waiting and eating bread before the meal came out. I ordered a fillet mignon (a shocker for my regular readers, I know) and my boyfriend ordered the seared tuna. Both were a tasty choice for each of us, but my steak was just slightly more well-done than I would’ve liked (I ordered it medium well.) But it was covered in herb butter and was served with their own version of A-1 sauce, so it was quite tasty. My boyfriend LOVED his tuna, said it was some of the best he’d had in a while. He said it was "sushi-grade" (I don't like fish, so whatever that means.) Between us, we split a baked potato (the sides are big enough for two.)

There’s a price to pay for good taste, the entire dinner (and we didn’t order drinks) cost about $100. We expected to pay that though, so we weren’t surprised or anything.

During my trips, I’d have to say that the best steakhouse in Vegas was Prime in the Bellagio, and the runner ups are the Delmonico in the Venetian and BOA.

The only word to describe this place is extraordinary. The atmosphere was very elegant and romantic, and the entrées were amazing. This was by far the best place I have ever eaten. I had the petite filet mignon, which literally melted in your mouth. I also included the sides of roasted garlic whipped potatoes and, unbelievably, mac-n-cheese. Both were outstanding. My mother had the salmon "cooked on a cedar plank" with grilled jumbo asparagus. She said both were superb. She also had a pineapple-infused martini with brown sugar. It was excellent. The service was very professional and prompt. I will definitely return here every chance I get.
