Michael’s Gourmet Room has to be one of the premier restaurants in all of Las Vegas. Hidden in the South Pointe Casino you will find old school Las Vegas with the elegance, exceptional service and a variety of food that will satisfy anyone’s palette. Sitting in this beautiful restaurant looking at the beautiful stained glass skylight you just can’t imagine that outside those walls is a hectic casino. First of all the atmosphere is quiet and very pleasant for conversation as you wait in anticipation of what is to come. Our head waiter Frank and his crew were amazing. They knew what you wanted as soon as you mentioned it. Frank knows the menu and all deserts in detail so when you ask any questions he’s got the answers. The appetizers along with the wine at the beginning let’s you know that what’s to come will be phenomenal. My wife and I shared the French Onion Soup and it was served in two separate bowls that looked like a full regular order. They have a good variety of salads and once again we shared a salad and it came in two separate servings that looked like their normal serving. The Filet Mignon was huge and it just melted in your mouth. My wife just loved her Chicken dish. The deserts were very tasty. Cherries Jubilee and the Crème brulee were as good as they looked. Frank and his crew completed our evening with a complimentary fruit tray with apples and pears and also a cold chocolate dipped fruit tray. If you are looking for a very special experience make sure you make your reservations here at Michael’s you won’t be...
Read moreWe had no idea what to expect of this place when we decided to walk in, but it was a good dining experience, for sure.
The food was excellent. The crab cakes with housemate tartar sauce was my wife's favorite thing (and I really enjoyed it as well). The scallops were delicious and the escargot was definitely tasty.
We also really enjoyed the French onion soup.
We probably should have stopped at the appetizers, because we were pretty full after all that. However, we wanted to try some things out, and we got the rack of lamb (which was great). That was probably all we needed to order as it was a full meal complete with side veggies and a good portion of lamb for each person.
Pricing looks steep at first, but it really isn't much different than any other steakhouse when portions and sides are considered.
We spent around $430 (including tip and taxes), but we ordered about 3x more than two people normally would.
If we came back, we might get crab cakes, French onion soup and a chicken or steak main course each.
Great service as well. It was a bit confusing at first though.
The one and only thing I would say may be better is if they ditched the veggie platter, rye bread and crackers at the start and swapped them for a fresh baguette with butter or some type of croissant. The veggies were mostly pickled and pretty unnecessary, in my opinion.
Overall, we had a...
Read moreThis is a true Vegas experience. It is way off the strip, in the South Point Hotel. The ambience is great. Reservations recommended. We went with another couple. This is her boss's favorite place to go in Vegas. This was a celebration of both our anniversaries and turned out to be the most expensive meal we have ever purchased, so be warned. You get your own head waiter and they have a couple of assistants. All tables immediately start with a relish tray and crackers. We then had the crab claw appetizer, followed by Ceasar salad and spinach salad, both made table side which were lovely. We had the sorbet with Dom Perignon as a palate cleanser before our main dishes arrived. Three of the four of us had steak, all cooked great. The fourth had the scampi. I had a side of green beans, and they had creamed corn. Dessert cart is amazing. I chose cheesecake (which turned into breakfast the next morning). We also got the chocolate cake. Friend got bananas foster, which was wonderful. They also brought us out a tiramisu as an anniversary cake. And a huge bowl of fruit. We took leftovers back to hotel. This is not a place for kids, I don't care how well behaved they are. I am glad they...
