When it comes to a blend of fine dining and history, it’s hard to beat the meal you’ll get at Old Homestead Steakhouse, a brand that goes back to 1868 in New York City. One of the restaurant’s best nods to the past is “Annabelle the Cow,” a decoration that topped the original restaurant’s roof for decades and was brought over to christen the opening of the Las Vegas outpost.
Brothers Marc and Greg Sherry have been with the Old Homestead group of restaurants for decades, and their passion for the traditions of yore shines through in every dish you’ll enjoy here. And it starts with the décor—low lighting, dark woods and burgundy leather booths instantly put you in the mood to relax and just soak in the experience.
Start your adventure off with a cocktail, and Old Homestead’s menu reads like a “greatest hits” with a twist: the Old-Fashioned can be prepared with your choice of bourbon, rum or tequila; the 9th Ave. Manhattan is prepared with rye, Carpano Antica sweet vermouth and Australian chocolate bitters; and the Pearfect Martini uses Grey Goose Le Poire vodka in addition to green Chartreuse, rosemary honey syrup and pear purée. There’s also a selection of 15,000 different wines!
The appetizer menu favors seafood, and Old Homestead uses nothing but top purveyors of delights like fresh-shucked oysters, Alaskan king crab legs, crispy calamari and Petrossian caviar.
Odds are you’re in the mood for a steak if you’re dining here, and there’s certainly no shortage of choices, from ribeye and filet mignon to porterhouse and Japanese A5 strip loin. But if you want a truly unique experience, try the OH Burger, a widely praised and awarded monster featuring a dry-aged patty, foie gras butter, cheddar cheese and duck fat fries. This could ruin you for all other burgers.
