With a birthday coming up and Las Vegas being famous for its steakhouses, I decided to visit Bavette's Steakhouse & Bar with high expectations. The result was pretty mixed, I’d say.
While I loved the old-school ambiance and jazz vibes, the service—friendly though it was—was unbearably slow. Not entirely our server’s fault, but it seemed like they were too busy handling too many tables. There was a great selection of wine by the glass, though they are very expensive (my red cost $31).
The food itself was good. We got the 42-day dry-aged ribeye ($99.99) with creamed spinach ($17.99) and Brussels sprouts ($19.99). The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and went really well with our sides (I especially loved the Brussels sprouts). We found that this was enough food for two people since we don’t eat a lot.
Somehow, we also had to wait 30 minutes for a chocolate pie ($15.99) that should have already been ready. We followed up three times before the server finally went to the kitchen and brought the pie. The pie itself was lovely and very chocolatey—just not worth the long wait.
They did bring us complimentary ice cream for the birthday celebration, which was a nice touch.
One of the best anniversary dinners we’ve had—worth the hype.
We chose Bavette's Steakhouse & Bar after researching several spots, and it absolutely delivered. The ambiance is a dark, speakeasy-style vibe that feels like stepping into the 1920s—perfect for a special occasion.
Service was truly 5-star. Every staff member we interacted with was welcoming, and our server made the experience feel relaxed yet upscale despite how busy it was.
The food was outstanding and portions were surprisingly generous for fine dining. We shared the sourdough bread to start. My husband had the Chicago ribeye with bone marrow and the thick-cut bacon—both incredible. I had the lobster tail with mashed potatoes, which was rich and perfectly cooked. We ended with the chocolate pie and tea.
They also acknowledged our anniversary with prosecco and ice cream with fudge, which was a really thoughtful touch.
Drinks were great as well—the Lillet rosé martini and gimlet were both well-balanced.
Tip: come hungry and note your occasion in the reservation—they really pay attention to it.
Would absolutely come back

This may be my favorite steakhouse in all of Vegas and is the best steak that I’ve had in 2026 so far. Was visiting town for my birthday weekend and chose Bavette’s as one of my dinners and I was lucky enough to get reservations and very happy that I stopped in. Our server, Danielle was absolutely fantastic and made the meal really special. The interior is beautifully done and it’s very dark and moody and is the sort of place that you’d want to spend some time. It reminds me of a speakeasy and they even do have a literal speakeasy in the back that you can have a few cocktails and food at as well. The interior is pretty large with many different types of seating options and the very middle of the restaurant is a bar where it’s first come first serve bar seating that has the same menu.
I started off the meal with the Lyonnaise salad and really liked it and would recommend as a nice starter and we also followed up with a Baked Goat Cheese, which was even better. Every part about it was delicious and it’s a sort of thing that I could have often. Finally came the Traditional Filet Mignon of 10oz and a side of elote style corn and as mentioned the steak was absolutely fantastic. Everything about it was cooked perfectly and the flavors were just tremendous. The service itself was incredible and I will admit that the pricing is pretty steep, but it is a great special occasion option and I would suggest to anyone looking for a great steakhouse while visiting Vegas.
