    Step into this hidden gem for a meal worth celebrating 💎 Even with our weird waitress, we had a great dinner celebrating our bride and groom to be! 🥂 The cocktails were good and the steaks were nicely cooked. They really, really like to encourage family sharing here, but each couple ended up sharing an entree and then shared sides for the table. Do what your appetite feels. If you want a steak to yourself, get that steak for yourself 😂 📍Las Vegas, NV @beautyandessexlv [3rd floor of @cosmopolitan_lv ] 🥔 Follow @hangrypotato for more food & travel recommendations! #vegas #speakeasy #cosmopolitanlasvegas #thingstodoinvegas

    Was an excellent experience. First time there. Food was great. Jeffrey did a great job with us and made it a great evening for wife’s birthday. Thank you to Amelia for coming over and speaking with us. It was nothing negative. Just wanted to thank her for the way we were welcomed and treat by the staff.
