Best steak I've had in 15 years -- no exaggeration. Dinner at Don's Prime at Fontainebleau was one of those rare dining experiences where everything exceeded expectations. The filet au poivre was extraordinary, perfectly cooked with an incredible crust, and adding béarnaise on the side took it over the top. Truly one of the finest steaks I've had in over a decade, barely edging out some legendary Vegas steakhouses for me. The Don's chopped salad, bread service, and overall execution were flawless, but what made the evening unforgettable was the service. Angel was fantastic -- warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. He actually sat down and shared the story behind their beef program, which elevated the meal into an experience. That level of hospitality is rare. From the classic steakhouse atmosphere to the impeccable food and top-tier service, this was a magical dinner and a highlight of my Vegas trip. Absolute five stars. Ask for Angel if you can. read more

Phenomenal Food paired with exquisite service. Get the bone marrow appetizer, splurge on the buttermilk blue cheese crust, get all the sides. Best bone marrow I've ever had, steaks are cooked perfectly with lots of options for crusts and accompaniments, and the sides are also a high point. Go to place for steak night on the strip. read more

I sat at the bar to dine. Despite the bartender having a lot of guests to handle / being in the weeds, she was very kind and provided great service. The food was also fantastic, the Ribeye was top tier. I will definitely be back, this is a great spot I put up there alongside my other favorite SW Steakhouse. read more

Totally SUPERB and hands down all around! Always the place to eat when I stay at Fountaine Bleu. We always enjoy eating here when we are in town. Best cut steak and definitely can be shared for 2 people. Lobster tasted fresh! Great quality food with reasonable price. Ask for the bread service, it tasted A-Ma-ZING! Butter herb bread served along with the warm toasty pretzel. Everything is superb and not to mention their excellent customer service. The place look SPANCY but it is good for the price, quality care and the excellent ambience. read more

I was staying at Fontainebleau and was feeling like a steak dinner on Thursday. I didn't have a reservation but they have open seating at their bar with full dinner menu. The restaurant itself is beautiful, service is exceptional, and food was delicious. I ate the ricotta gnocchi and NY strip steak. The whole experience was lovely...until I was woken up in the middle of the night with possibly the worst food poisoning I have ever experienced. I thought about what I ate and my only meal that day was Don's Prime (time flies in Vegas). I was locked away in my hotel restroom for the next 12 hours which completely ruined the rest of my weekend as my stomach felt uneasy even after everything cleared out. I wish I was in the restroom for classic Vegas things like drinking too much but I didn't have a drop of alcohol that weekend either. read more

With all the choices at la Fontainebleau my husband and I felt we made the right decision with Don's Prime last night. Although my sesame washed whisky drink missed the mark our waiter was wonderful and had the bartender make me a new drink. We love beef carpaccio, and have tried it that dozens of restaurants are around the city and this one was by far the best and the soft pillow melt in your mouth ricotta gnocchi with six hour tomato sauce was a religious experience. For entree we shared a medium rare 9oz rib cap, foie gras and broccolini. Well, the steak was wonderful. The broccolini stole the show with the tender buttery vegetable topped with fresh shaved parm. Although the restaurant was a bit loud it was mostly because it was packed on the Tuesday night but booth was cozy. read more

This might be my new favorite Vegas steakhouse!! The setting is old school Vegas and the servers are dressed in suits and have wonderful recommendations! I will say the Caesar was the only thing I didn't care for. But from the bread, to the steak, to the mashed potatoes, I dream about it!! We also didn't care for the baked Alaska, but I did see butter cake on the menu and would love to come back and try that! There were only three of us so we couldn't order too much, but definitely looking forward to coming back soon!! read more

We had a business meeting over dinner at Don's Prime and I was overall impressed with the whole experience. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. The service was truly top-notch. Looking over the menu, I went with the sole. It was prepared tableside. We started with the seafood tower. Very good. For our sides, we had the lobster mac and cheese (a must try), creamed spinach, scalloped potatoes, and chopped salad (another must try). My sole was absolutely fantastic. For dessert, I went with the baked Alaska. A great old-school.dessert prepared tableside. This is a great restaurant to check out and I would definitely recommend Don's Prime. I will give it five stars. read more

Don's is an old school steakhouse located in Fontainebleau. It has a pretty nice ambiance and the service was friendly and very professional. The food was good and the prices were what you'd expect of a Vegas strip resort. Overall I thought it was just ok. There are many other steakhouses in Vegas so it takes a lot to one to stand out to. It was still a good experience and I'd recommend trying it. Atmosphere: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Total: 3.75/5 Price: $$$$ Rating Criteria: 1/5: Terrible, would not recommend 2/5: Might be worth it depending on price and other factors. 3/5: Solid option.

Dinner at Don's Prime was the perfect meal on the Strip for old school vibes. We had a party of 16 but divided our group into two separate reservations. (Had inquired about a group reservation but that was not a good price point for us). These were the dishes we had at one of the tables of 8. The servers were very attentive and helpful. and so nice. We aren't big drinkers so they probably aren't use to a group like ours but we like to eat. There is also a time limit we were told and we tried to adhere to it but we were enjoying our meal so much. Our server recommended some family style options that were perfect. Between the tomahawk and porterhouse, I enjoyed the flavor of the porterhouse the most. Both were prepared very well and carved at our tables. Our sides were all wonderful. The presentation of the lobster Mac and cheese was amazing. And we did a baked Alaska for both tables just to have something sweet and the presentation of that was fun. Don's Prime is perfect for a night out with a group with wonderful steak and sides for a true Vegas experience! Price was about $175/person since we didn't have alcohol. read more

Got seated right away for a 6:30 reservation. What was great: Warm bread was amazing with this buttery pretzel and savory croissant like puff. Crabcake had a good chunk of crab and not much breading. Ribeye cooked perfectly medium rare. Fries came out crisp and has a seasoning on it. Favorite item of the night was my mocktail strawberry mob. Just a great mocktail thats fancier than just juice and soda that seems prevalent for mocktails. What missed: Mac n cheese was way too rich. The mushrooms were way too salty. Baked Alaska extremely sweet and had burnt black charred portions that we picked away. read more

This Rizzi 2024 steakhouse of the year on the strip is located in the Fontaine Blue fancy Michelin rated hotel. The restaurant itself is a bit darker than my liking, but I guess that set the ambience. Service is impeccable. We ordered a Caesar salad, beets salad, a beef crown, and a dry aged ribeye steak. Our sides included broccolini, mashed potatoes, and they served us with this free bread, which was amazing. I have nothing bad to say about this experience. My parents thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and everything came out to be about $420 including tip. We did not order drinks. read more

Dons prime is hands down one of my top 5 steakhouses in Vegas, the service here from the hosts, to the servers to the managers are absolutely amazing. I came here on October 14th,2025 with two of my friends, we had reservations for 8pm and it was super busy we had a little bit of a wait but it wasn't a big deal gave us some time to catch up and chat. We got seated and were immediately greeted by our server he walked us through the menu and asked us what we wanted to drink, we were interested in some wine and they sent over the som, He talked through what we would like based of what we told him, I got a nice Riesling by the glass and my friends ordered a bottle of white wine. Once we got Our beverages we ordered a dozen oysters as well as a Caesar salad and bread as well as a beef carpaccio. Everything was outstanding with the perfect flavor, For entrees we ordered a steak and scallops as well as sides, we were so full we wanted desert but we just couldn't fit any we did look over the menu and it looked very good, we decided next time we come we will try it. We had a wonderful time and received the best service we can't wait to come back. read more

Beautiful classic-but-modernized-and-elevated steakhouse in the Fontaineblue! Went to a reception and dinner here, was absolutely over the top great. From starters like the crab cake and jumbo shrimp, followed by a nice wedge to a perfectly cooked steak (I had the strip), everything was top notch and seasoned or combined with something to raise it up, everything was delicious. For sides the creamed corn, cream spinach, and the elaborately prepared / plated lobster mac and cheese, the food is all luxurious and delicious. Get a couple different magnums flowing so you can have an old-world vs new-world conversation, it will be a good party! read more

Ok We tried 8 restaurants during our 6 day stay at the Fontainebleau, which is a 2 year old, 70 story resort and casino that is nothing short of "Fabulous "! Don's Prime is their signature Steakhouse and it certainly didn't let us down. The waitstaff was well groomed and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. It's pricey, but hey, you're in the lap of luxury and fine dining. I was tempted to try the Caviar service... wished I did... but next time I did indulge in Moet by the glass. Nice change for me. I ordered the beef carpaccio... superb! I always get it when it's on the menu, theirs was a "10". ! My wife ordered the salad wedge,I had a taste... again superb. We saw a presentation of their Lobster Mac and Cheese.... Wow!! We ordered the 1.5 lobster,shucked and hollowed out then stuffed with Mac and Cheese and more lobster on top... Fabulous presentation and taste... a real treat for $98. Yup it was worth it. We split a 14 oz aged sirloin, tell tale Sous vide... Perfect!! Split some au gratin potatoes and garlic mashed potatoes... both killers. Awesome!! If you're in Vegas... hit this place!!! Bon appetite!! read more

We started the night off with the bread and pretzels which I thought were just ok. I was worried for our entrees, but boy was I wrong. The steak was cooked to perfection with an amazing crust -- each bite had a perfect flavor with an amazing texture. The creamed potatoes were also super creamy and delicious. Finally, we ended the night with a complimentary dessert since it was our anniversary -- super unexpected and kind from our server! read more

I made this reservation roughly two months in advance for what was easily my most anticipated dinner of the trip -- and Don's Prime didn't just meet expectations, it crushed them. Our party arrived right on time for our 8:30 p.m. Saturday reservation and were immediately greeted and escorted to a table in the center dining room. The space was well lit with modern décor and an unmistakable upscale vibe. We were promptly welcomed by our server, drinks were ordered, bread was dropped, and we were given time to take in the menu. The bread service alone set the tone -- a slightly sweet, pull-apart monkey bread style that was outstanding. Shortly after, our table captain arrived with the server to walk us through the menu. The sommelier introduced himself without prompting and guided us through the wine list. After some discussion, he recommended several Cabs and Pinots by the glass -- including what we would choose, Crossroads and Walter Scott -- both excellent selections. For appetizers, we ordered the carpaccio, wedge salad, and crab cake. The salad was solid and the other two were 10/10. The carpaccio had a vibrant, herb-forward freshness that made it pop. And for the first time in about 25 years of food reviews and travel, I can finally say this: the crab cake came in an extremely close second only to Chef Vola's in Atlantic City, NJ -- and one person at the table thought it was even better. For entrées, we had the surf & turf (filet and lobster tail) and the salmon with a side of mashed potatoes. The filet was cooked perfectly and incredibly tender. The salmon was excellent, and the mashed potatoes were so good we joked they could've been dessert. I will absolutely return for the crab cake and mashed potatoes -- count on it. For dessert, we tried the whipped cream mousse. Unfortunately, Don's Prime has paused the tableside presentation due to space limitations, but even without the show, it delivered. Plates were left spotless. We had after-dinner plans elsewhere, so that concluded the evening. Service was 11/10. Food was 10/10. While our selections may seem "safe" or classic, I can promise you this meal was anything but ordinary -- it was next level. We will absolutely be back. read more

We kicked off our Tomahawk fest with Don's. It was a great start! Service - impeccable, food - delicious - every bite. The feasting: Bread service (reminds me of monkey bread). Tomahawk: 42 oz, ($245), Bone marrow ($28), Mushrooms ($20), Creamed spinach ($21), and last but certainly not least Macaroni gratin ($20). Meat: Perfectly cooked, and carved tableside (wow! and of note of all the places we went the only place that carved table side). You don't need anythign else with this excpet the flavor of the meat with a little salt and pepper. Sides: The mushrooms were very well cooked, and had a fantastic dare I say heartyniess that had me wanting to eat the entire dish (but I did share). The creamed spinach (good spinach ratio, not overly sauced) and Macaroni gratin (a nice spin, good bechemel, also not overly saucced) were really good. We washed everything down with a couple of different types of wine suggested by our somm (sorry I don't remember what we had!). We all thought this was a great start to Tomahawk feasting in this town! While we did not get dessert per se, we did go to the bar after dinner and got martini's (what is steak without the perfect steakhouse martini?) . I got "Stand Alone". Blue cheese and clove infused Fords gin, with a hint of pear and lemon and just a touch of honey. It was a great take on a martini if not "classic" (one person in our party got that and it was quite good!). Thoroughly enjoyed Don's and while we have not gone back for more meat feasting, we have gotten drinks at the bar again - Highly recommend. read more

We decided to have my Birthday dinner at Don's Prime since we are staying at Fontainebleau (our favorite hotel at Vegas now). The ambiance was upscale and romantic. Every dish we had was delicious (even the cocktail sauce for the oyster was bomb). The 2 cocktails we tried were unique and refreshing, thumbs up to the bartender. Steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to the temperature we liked. The lobster mac & cheese was the best I had so far. Even the complimentary chocolate cake was phenomenal, I can't stop eating it. Would love to come back for another dinner this Christmas. read more

Don Prime Steakhouse nailed it. I started with the corn chowder with crab, and honestly--it's the best soup I've ever had. Period. I'm lactose intolerant and still went for it, and it was 100% worth the risk. Creamy, rich, and the crab took it to another level. The creamed corn was fine, nothing mind-blowing, and the asparagus was okay--solid, but not something I'll be dreaming about later. The steak, though? Excellent. They actually know how to cook rare properly, which seems to be a lost art at most steakhouses these days. If you come here, don't overthink it: get the chowder, get the steak, and know you're in good hands. read more

I liked Don's, it's definitely one of the better steakhouses on the Strip, also very nice decor. I had the dry-aged New York, which was excellent. I also added the Oscar-style, which was just okay and didn't stand out much for an additional $50. For sides, the gratin was decent but a bit watery for my taste, while the roasted wild mushrooms were really good and probably my favorite side. The only downside was the service. Our server was friendly, but it seemed like they were short-staffed. We didn't get our drinks until about 30 minutes after ordering. Service was slow, and our waiter rarely stopped by our table because he was constantly running around. We may have just caught them on an understaffed night. read more

After quick review of their menu, we both decided on getting the same thing...well, because the Rip Cap Oscar Style sounded incredibly delicious and it certainly was!! Cooked to perfection, the Rib Cap was served medium rare with several pieces of tender asparagus. The highlight of our meal was having a delicious Rib Cap paired with crab and caviar! Bread and wine both were okay. Lighting was fine. Ventilation was fine. Customer service was top notch! Thank you everyone at Don's for making this a lovely dining experience for us :) read more

Don's Prime, excellent Steakhouse at Fontainebleau. We'll Be Back! I first came here back in December. After trying a few of the newer steakhouses in town since then, I can confidently say this one's a winner. Service: (5/5) Attentive, professional, and exactly what you'd expect from a high end steakhouse. The service team truly delivered. Ambiance: (4/5) It leans more classic and formal in theme, somewhat rigid, but still beautifully designed. Food: (5/5) From appetizers and bread baskets to cocktails and entrées, everything was a delight. *Seafood Tower (4/5): Fresh and flavorful overall, though the clams were slightly fishy. *French Onion Soup (4/5): Rich and comforting, but could use a touch less salt. *Don's Tomahawk (5/5): Cooked to a perfect medium rare. I didn't even need the accompanying sauces, it was excellent on its own. *Sides: The grilled asparagus, wild mushrooms, and potato gratin were all standouts, flavorful and well prepared. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I'd definitely recommend Don's Prime if you're looking to celebrate or enjoy a special date night at Fontainebleau. read more

Five-Star Perfection at Don's Prime - A True Vegas Experience If you're looking for a classic steakhouse experience elevated to Fontainebleau-level luxury, Don's Prime absolutely delivers. From the moment we sat down, everything felt refined, intentional, and indulgent. It's the kind of place where every detail matters. We started with the lobster bisque, and it was pure velvet in a bowl. Rich, buttery, perfectly balanced, and loaded with tender lobster, the kind of bisque that makes you slow down just to savor every spoonful! The pull-apart Parmesan cheese stuffed bread and warm pretzel were next-level. Fluffy, buttery, and dangerously addictive. That pretzel had the perfect chew with just the right salt finish...elevated comfort food done right! For the main event, we had the 9 oz filet mignon and WOW! Perfectly cooked, beautifully seared, melt-in-your-mouth tender. No sauce needed (though you'll want to drag every bite through whatever's left on your plate). It was steakhouse perfection. And let's talk about the mac n cheese. It was creamy, decadent, golden on top with that slight crunch. Rich but not heavy. Exactly what you want alongside a prime filet. The ambiance? Classic, upscale, and intimate without being stuffy. The service was polished, attentive, and effortless...the kind that makes you feel like a VIP without being overbearing. Don's Prime isn't just dinner; it's an experience. If you're staying at Fontainebleau or just looking for a standout steakhouse in Las Vegas, this one deserves a reservation at the top of your list. We will absolutely be back. Signed, A very happy (and VERY full) guest read more

Wow. I've had steak before, but this was TOP NOTCH. I frequent the Fountainbleu often and have never had the chance to eat here, usually because of wait time. However, after checking in to our hotel room pretty late in the evening, Don's prime was the nearest available fine dining option and with only a 30-min wait, I was ecstatic to try them out. Our hostess was very friendly and quickly sat us at the bar area. The bartender was attentive & paid attention to detail, even offering a suggestion. The food was absolutely to die for and the sommelier recommendation paired PERFECTLY with our meal.

In my opinion this is the great new steakhouse on the strip - the whole meal was fantastic. We started with the seafood tower, which had all the usual suspects. All very fresh, tasty and well presented. Went with the chopped salad which is not a norm for me but a sleeper hit. Well presented and loved crispy strips and avocado on the top. The main was an American wagyu strip steak. Perfectly cooked, well seasoned and definitely a high quality cut of beef. The sides were phenomenal with a shout-out to the creamed corn with bacon. A must try! For dessert I went with the soft serve sundae. This was a treat as the ice cream was creamy with a perfect vanilla flavor. Loved all the side toppings that I could add myself. Finally, exceptional service - the waiters were super friendly and were not shy to share their recommendations. Will be back again! read more
