Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Excalibur

The food was good but still felt overpriced. We got the scallops, risotto, and bone marrow to start, all of which tasted great. We had 4 people and the scallop appetizer only came with 3, which was disappointing. The entrees were good and well portioned. Our server told us the a la carte sides were big enough to share, but the Mac and cheese was barely enough for 4 people to have a bite. Server was not friendly at all, borderline rude.

The Golden Steer Steakhouse, famed as the oldest steakhouse in Las Vegas, absolutely lives up to its reputation. While getting a reservation can feel nearly impossible, it’s worth every effort—this is a dining experience you shouldn’t miss. The ambiance is classic old-school steakhouse, exuding a timeless charm, and the service is truly unparalleled. From the moment we walked in, we were seated within minutes, and the experience began on a high note. Our server expertly guided us through the menu, and we kicked things off with the seafood tower. It was a showstopper—massive shrimp, king crab, lobster, and oysters, all incredibly fresh and served with perfect accompaniments. If you’re visiting, do not skip the tableside Caesar salad. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s a must-have—without it, you’re missing the heart of the experience! For the main course, I had the bone-in ribeye paired with lobster, and my wife chose the prime rib. Both were cooked to perfection and full of incredible flavor. We rounded out the meal with whipped potatoes and creamed corn, which were the perfect sides to complement our entrées. And finally, the pièce de résistance: the tableside bananas foster. If there’s one dessert that will completely blow your mind, it’s this. The presentation, the flavor—everything about it is unforgettable. The Golden Steer is officially my go-to spot in Vegas. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a memorable experience that I’ll return to again and again.

We were there for Happy Hour and had a great time watching the Notre Dame football game. Wings and beer were great

A large selection of foods from around the world. Waited ages to be seated though. Reservation was at 13:30 but sat at 14:00. The hour and half starts from the time you sit down. A concoction of juices were available. Alcoholic drinks you gave to pay for. Soft drinks and coffee within the price. When we left noticed they had changed the foods round with fresh dishes. Overall a good experience. Realistically, I had breakfast lunch and dinner all combined. Would highly recommend. 

Good food served hot. Excellent pasta. We sat in the outer portion which is essentially in the middle of the casino, so people watching was interesting. Lots of ambient noise, including screaming from the roller coaster that travels overhead a ways down from the restaurant.
