Carversteak is a Top Dining Destination in Las Vegas

Carversteak might appear at first glance to just be a steakhouse, but that descriptor is selling it seriously short. This restaurant from Carver Road Hospitality has a little bit of everything for every taste—there’s even a vegan menu!

The room itself is simply massive, with a cushy lobby and bar flanked by a dining room tucked back on one side, and private dining rooms on the other, as well as an expanded enclosed patio in the rear. And on one wall of one of the private rooms is a gorgeous display of high-end knives, perfect for this venue.

Start your meal with either a signature starter like everything spiced brioche, warm bleu cheese bread and Vermont butter or an ounce of caviar—your choice of Siberian, golden Kaluga or ossetra. Whatever you order, make sure to pair it with a cocktail like the Spiced Alibi, featuring Patrón silver tequila, Grand Marnier, Lustau East India sherry, verjus blanc, mulling spices, rooibos and saline.

There’s an enormous shellfish and raw bar menu, highlighted by yellowtail sashimi, giant tiger prawns and Alaskan king crab, but don’t skip over the wide array of entrées like lobster en croute, wrapped in puff pastry with lobster-cognac cream, Jidori chicken breast or Colorado lamb chop. And, of course, the remarkable steak program, featuring everything from filet mignon and boneless ribeye to Australian wagyu and tomahawk. Sides like beer-battered onion rings, roasted mushrooms and mac and cheese gratin are all stellar accompaniments.

Now about that vegan menu … fans of plant-based cuisine will be thrilled with the selection. Appetizers include chickpea fries with cilantro and jalapeño lime dip and “calamari” made with king trumpet mushrooms and served with sweet peppers and tomato sauce, while main courses include a vegan chop made with organic grains and legumes and served with broccolini and roasted tomatoes, as well as Binchotan grilled eggplant, served with a tofu and garlic confit purée and chili umami crunch.

For dessert, go with the Baked Nevada, a beast made with mixed berry sorbet, toasted meringue and coconut lime cake that feeds up to six.
