The term “hidden gem” gets thrown around a lot in this town, so much so that all the hidden gems have been exposed. And, in the digital age, there aren’t too many “best-kept secrets” either. Despite all the chatter, Cornerstone is a steakhouse that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. Tucked away off-Strip, the restaurant serves up classic steakhouse fare in an environment that feels much like classic Vegas.
You’ll first notice the lounge, sleek but also casual, where you can order a snazzy crafted martini. If you like yours dirty, the I Like it Dirty martini is quite filthy, mixed with New Zealand’s Broken Shed vodka, olive juice and Filthy brand olives. But if you’re more of a whiskey drinker, opt for the Sazerac, a classic New Orleans cocktail with rye, absinthe and Peychaud’s bitters.
In the dining room, the menu is filled with favorites. Start with some bacon-wrapped dates, crab cakes or oysters on the half shell with a lemon mignonette sauce, then dive into entrées like bone-in ribeye, beef tips in red wine or sautéed shrimp scampi.
