    Our party of 4 was outside on the patio for Valentine’s Day. While it was a little chilly at first the staff was nice and brought heaters for us. Unfortunately a windstorm hit and wouldn’t let up and that affected our dinner service and it’s hard to rush food of that quality and wine. The staff did their best with the circumstances that arose. While it created a memorable dinner, it was too rushed and everything was ice cold.

    An excellent experience from beginning to end. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. The house-made sourdough bread was the best bread service any of our party could recall having at any restaurant (definitely indulge in the accompaniments), and the fresh made pasta was perfect. It's no wonder reservations fill up fast!

    Dining at Carson’s is a must for me when visiting Las Vegas. Have never had a bite I didn’t enjoy here. This time our party ordered the hot dog ends, pot roast sandwich and jus dip, cauliflower and NY strip. Steak was cooked perfectly. The cauliflower dish was extraordinary and packed a wonderful garlicky punch. Sipped on a wonderfully complex fernet and amaro cocktail throughout the evening as well. Rich and delicious food with unique and interesting flavour combinations. Service was attentive, warm and fun.

    My colleague and I had breakfast here on our last day in town before going home. He had heard lovely things from other attendees at the conference we were at, and since we already had dinner plans on Wednesday night, we decided to eat here for breakfast. I’m glad we made a reservation, because by the time we left the place was packed. Our waitress was fantastic, she even brought me a glass of ice so I could drink my Diet Coke. (Only Pepsi at this resort). I had one of the crêpes of the day, bananas, foster, drizzled with Nutella. And my colleague also had crêpes of the day, but he selected raspberry and lemon curd.  it is a sizable plate of food, I was amazed that my colleague finished his, I could only get halfway. We also both had a coffee drink, I requested a vanilla latte and he had regular coffee, both were outstanding. And our waitress was the absolute best! If you are in Las Vegas and need a breakfast place, this is absolutely five stars.

    This was our first time at the Golden Steer. There were six in our party and we all had a great time. From the greeting from the hostess to our wait staff, we were greeted with smile and a no problem attitude. The table side Caesar salad was absolutely delicous and my filet mignon was cooked to perfection. And I cannot rave enough on how delicous the special mac and cheese was and I am not a fan of mac and cheese but this changed my mind. The kahlua creme brulee was the best way to end our meal. I highly recommend the Golden Steer for food and service. April
