Whiskey Wednesday (Patreon)

December was full of lots of wonderful dinners, one of them being at Peter Luger Steakhouse inside Caesars Palace. I have been hearing buzz about it since they opened a year ago, their first opening in the United States, outside of their two New York locations. They also have a location in Toyko. I am not one to fall for a lot of buzz, since there are so many grea restaurants in Las Vegas, but this one truly exceeded expectations. They have been around since 1887.

The ambiance is very open and reminiscent of a German Beer Hall. The menu is not huge, but that makes decision making much easier, and sometimes, I am grateful for that. Service was wonderful- even though, they say, they are known for their gruff staff- and we were greeted immediately and asked for our drink orders. I opted for a bourbon, Basil Hayden.

Appetizers started off with a monster Shrimp cocktail and delicious Caesar Salad. We opted for single steaks, as we wanted them cooked differently, and they are brought to the table, cut in slices with sizzling tallow. Wow! It melted in my mouth and was so flavorful! I didn’t try the baked potato, but it was huge and looked delicious. I definitely saved room for dessert and shared the chocolate mousse cake with freshly, house made whipped cream. Divine!

Cheers and hope everyone has a great evening!
