Papi Steak in Las Vegas is a culinary experience like no other! The Wagyu pastrami was literally melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the truffle creamed corn was the perfect side dish - it was the best I've ever had! The pièce de résistance was the $1000 "Beef Case" Wagyu tomahawk, which was truly insane. The presentation was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was electric. While it's certainly expensive, it's an experience worth splurging on. Our servers, Matt and Jon, were top-notch and ensured our every need was met. And don't even get me started on the espresso martini - it was the perfect way to cap off an incredible meal. If you're looking for a unique and indulgent dining experience in Las Vegas, Papi Steak is a must-visit. Be prepared to splurge, but know that it's worth every penny. Shout out to Matt and Jon for exceptional service - we can't wait to come back!
Wow this place is off the chain if you're into the night club scene this is the perfect spot. Absolutely stunning decor Impeccable service Outstanding gourmet food With live entertainment dancing girls Singing server's Plenty of staff If you're looking for a exciting experience with loud music hip people you have to get to this spot, of course its $$$$, but well worth it just for the experience alone. We had a managers dinner Friday night and the place was jumping. Excellent atmosphere with great energy. Ambience galore!!!!!!!!!
Dinner here was an experience. Like what a lot of the other reviewers say, this place does have a very club feel. Every 30 min a group of staff comes out and seems to celebrate someone ordering the suitcase steak, iykyk lol. The food is great and pricey just as expected, at least they were delicious! The service was good and attentive as well. Dont expect to have a conversation while dining aince the music can be loud which is the vibe of the restaurant. Great to have experienced it but, its not my natural type of place. Definitely fun though.
So having been to the original in Miami was expecting more of the same - overhyped, overpriced, and overrated. A lot is similar in Vegas as magnificently appointed interior and gives off the ambience more of an upscale lounge as the DJ spins quite the ensemble of excellent music that would rival any of the most popular nightclubs in the desert. This isn't a place for a quiet romantic dinner but someplace to disappear into and soak it all in. Now dissimilar to its Miami brethren though the food was cooked at a much higher skill level. The pretzel bread (let's just say had to have two orders as didn't last long at the table as salty savory and amazing); the Maitake mushrooms (a nice complement to any steak), the charred broccolini (smoky and great balance to a rich meal), the jidoei truffle chicken (unique offering and while overcooked as a bit dry ample offering of truffle and a great dish to split with any steak as not as rich and heavy but equally satisfying), the wagyu filet mignon (perfectly cooked and tender), and the strawberries and cream creme brulee (a bit odd offering as more like boba pearls that look like caviar but not complementary tastes). But the standout here is the service - special recognition to our waiter, Stephen, who could teach a masterclass with his recommendations prompt service, patient attitude, and foreshadowing needs. Everyone at the facility though is extremely helpful from offering light to see the menu or take a photo of the food, to refilling the water without being asked, and as one of our dinner companions was a toddler the support crew (three of them) took the time to get her to smile for a photo opportunity. I would say this type of establishment is not renown as one could take a kid but with all the noise I'm the background doesn't serve as a distraction and they showed patience and understanding to provide immensely appreciated service. Papi steak is still at a higher price point than others of similar status. Others may serve a better cut and cooking style for steak. But this particular location renewed my faith in ways did not expect nor forsee.
This review is based on a single visit on 5/24/24. - Ambience: Club-like. I think the red velvet rope at the front is supposed to create an air of exclusivity, but it feels a little contrived. Note for men: there is a dress code insofar as you will be turned away if you are wearing shorts. The same may be applicable to women too, but I can't confirm. - Food: Very good. Granted, you aren't going to get as much value for your $ on the Strip, but I went in with those expectations. If you don't mind splurging a bit, this is a great place to do just that. We weren't super hungry so went with a few small plates. My fave was definitely the Steak & Eggs - Wagyu steak tartare atop thick slices of brioche, which are then topped with caviar - indulgence. - Service: Attentive and professional. - General Vibe: This is a see-and-be-seen place for sure, they encourage people to splash out on the Wagyu Tomahawk and make a huge production every time someone does. Not my vibe per se, but probably exciting and fun for people who enjoy that sort of thing.
I would only eat here on corporate dime due to the Vegas prices. This is located inside La Fountaine Bleu a new resort. They put on a great fun presentation when you order the group meal. Decor and ambience are eclectic fancy and fun. The king crab, pastrami and steak were excellent. Make a reservation in advance if you have a group.
WSOP Day 2 The WSOP always begins and ends with poker buds gathering over giant cuts of cow. Jackets over half buttoned shirts, dress slacks, oxfords with no socks and shades at night. Douchiness at level 11, time to hit up Miami's Papi Steak here in Vegas. Flamboyant bordering on ostentatious with loud music. Try to block it out because the food is excellent. Two standout starters: - "Steak and Eggs" - Take hand cut wagyu, add truffle aioli, top with a generous spoonful of osetra caviar and set atop a toasted brioche. Delicious decadence with the sweet rich beef fat mixing with the salty, yolky goodness of the caviar. - "Wagyu Pastrami" - Beautifully brined, gently smoked, perfectly steamed. Incredible flavor throughout dripping with fatty richness that helps carry the flavor. Smear it with the provided house made mustard for the perfect zing. No complaints on the meaty crab cake with a perfectly matched dijon burre blanc or the well thought out hamachi crudo complimented by a citrus ponzu and served with crispy shallots for textural contrast. Three types of steaks on offer; USDA Prime, SRF American wagyu and Japanese A5. Here for classic American beef so Prime it is. The 48oz dry aged porterhouse (aging time not specified but seems short as there is no real bleu cheese funk), beefy, juicy, and tender as expected. Not well trimmed. Sear is not as pronounced as it could be (grill marks) so caramelized goodness isn't fully developed. Cooked to temp. Sauces and crust options available, as a purist, none sampled. Solid steakhouse sides. No complaints on the very cheesy mac and cheese, truffle corn or maitake. Service is restaurant proper but not steakhouse proper. Weak upsell ability ATM. Very good wine list with some vintage depth. Lots of gems including grand cru Burgundy and 1st growth Bordeaux. Typical resort markup. A good mid tier steakhouse stronger with creative starters than blow your mind steaks. Those who love the Nusr-Et or STK experience, Papi's delivers.
What an experience! Papi Steak is exactly what it describes: Good food, good drinks, and upbeats house/techno music. Ambience is like you are in a night club but with a full service of bar and food! We ordered: Rib Eye steak, Wagyu Rib Eye Cap, mushrooms, and potatoes - all food was excellent and made to its perfection. Steaks were very well made and all the sides had its own distinct flavors. Service was good and our food came in right amount of time! Definitely a place to try it out. Surely recommend this place!
Don't let the name of Papi's Steak fool you. This gem is located on the second floor of the Fontainebleau and it is luxurious. With its dark walls and flowered wallpaper to huge chandelier and low lighting, the ambiance is sexy and comfortable. The inside vibe with the female servers in flapper dresses and the decor in the 1920's Gatsby style makes it seem like you're going back in time; however the DJ and modern pop music brings you back to today. They serve some interesting dishes; one of them was the Wagyu pastrami appetizer. Talk about melt in your mouth! I could eat a whole slew of this and not get tired of it. We opted for the bone-in New York steak, Mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. All of it was a party for my tastebuds and I just wanted to keep eating. They had a 55-65 oz Tomahawk called The Briefcase which was $1000, and if you ordered it, the staff came out and announced it to the whole restaurant with a song, clapping, and cheering. It was quite the scene--at least four of these were ordered during our time there as well as the $1000 baked Alaska (which was a whole other song and affair). This made the vibe lively and our experience one to remember.
