Las Vegas is rapidly evolving, and it can be a bit overwhelming to consider just how much this town has changed from its early days. But if you want to get away from the bustle and just unwind, there’s a place just for you: Edge Steakhouse, where the values and service of old Vegas live on.
From the second you enter, you realize just how special this restaurant is. It’s instantly calming, with dark woods and elegant furnishings. A bar to your right beckons you to have a drink and some conversation before heading to your table.
You’ll want to start with one of Edge’s signature cocktails like the Vegas Dream, a combo of Tito’s vodka, passion fruit, prosecco and a huckleberry reduction, all served in a pomegranate sugar-rimmed martini glass. Another solid option is the Eat a Peach, where the bourbon is blended with lemon, peach-and-amaretto jam, agave and egg white. You really can’t go wrong here.
Take your cocktail to your table, where you’ll be greeted by one of the ultra-friendly and accommodating waitstaff, who will bring you the first of many delights to come: a Gruyère-infused popover. As you devour this amazing piece of baked goodness, peruse the menu for the first of your appetizers. We personally can’t recommend enough the baby beets salad, so full of flavors with cara cara orange, candied walnuts, Meyer lemon vinaigrette and a goat cheese fritter. It’s as fun to look at as it is to eat. Equally magnificent is the wagyu beef tartare, served with Kaluga caviar, truffle aioli, radish and a quail egg, enjoyed with beef fat toast.
The steak selections here are all spectacular, but none quite so spectacular as the massive tomahawk, more than enough for at least two people and the reason Instagram was invented. If you’re in the mood for wagyu, try the wagyu strip king crab Oscar-style, smothered in rich, decadent sauce. And don’t skip littleneck sea scallops, served with Neuske’s bacon, fondant potatoes and a clam chowder emulsion, as an accompaniment.
Sides here are as classic as the restaurant itself, from grilled asparagus topped with bearnaise sauce and charred lemon to a black and white truffle mac and cheese, made with ditalini pasta and loaded with chives, white cheddar, Gruyère and Parmesan and a demi-glace.
Desserts here are the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The warm chocolate lava cake is decadent with vanilla ice cream, a raspberry coulis and fresh berries, while the Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée will have all eyes darting toward your table, as it’s brought fully afire. Wait until the flames subside and enjoy!
