This is one of my favorite go-tos in Las Vegas. We had Sunday dinner for a party of four and celebrated a birthday. We had the calamari and meatball appetizers and they were north great. One of us had the (huge) lasagna, I had the Johnny Drama and the others did custom pasta dishes. Their pasta selections are quality and plentiful as are the sauces and protein options. Dario was our waiter and he was attentive and expeditious. The staff did a nice job for birthday celebrations and the chocolate cake was outstanding. We couldn't have enjoyed this more.

About the restaurant

Chef Jaimee Pepe is at the helm of Twin Creeks Steakhouse, which proudly serves 100% Certified Black Angus beef. The difference is in the details at this award-winning steakhouse, with its unique brand of personal touches developed over nearly two decades of operation.

The Prime-grade 16-ounce New York Strip is hand-cut in house and can be finished with a choice of eight sauces and toppings, including a unique coffee crust, brandy peppercorn, or the classic French demi-glace.

At 40 ounces, the colossal Creekstone Farms Tomahawk serves two, filling the table with lobster mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, black-truffle butter, and two scratch-made sauces.

Dinner begins with fresh bread service, featuring three house-made selections and a choice of accompaniments. The hand-made butter, which is rumored to have its own fan club, is cultured and churned right in the kitchen.

The dining experience is complemented with an extensive wine list, and a selection of boutique bourbons.

The service was wonderful and so was the ambiance. Food portions are good. I will say it was a bit too heavy on the butter for the potato purée and heavy on the salt on my fish. Also, be careful with the bread service, as they put beef butter on the buns, so if you don’t eat red meat just double check what’s on food and in some sauces. Overall it was great. We enjoyed our time. We were celebrating a birthday and all the staff signed a birthday card and gave a little birthday treat which I thought was a really nice touch. I do recommend this restaurant. We will be back again.
