    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.

    Great steak restaurant at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas! Enjoyed this dining experience, the food and the service were fantastic. I would highly recommend this place.

    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.

    Rib cap and broccolini

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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: $$$$ Rating Criteria: 1/5: Terrible, would not recommend 2/5: Might be worth it depending on price and other factors. 3/5: Solid option. Average in this category for the area. 4/5: Above average and excels in this area. 5/5: Excellent, needs no improvement Pricing Criteria: $: $0 - $50 per person $$: $50 - $100 per person $$$: $100 - $200 per person $$$$: $200 - $500 per person $$$$$: $500+ per person *Please keep in mind that reviews are based on personal experience which may differ from person to person based upon a multitude of factors (individual/specific workers, time of day, personal preferences, etc). Pricing may also differ and is reflected here based on what we paid for our meal. We usually enjoy multiple courses with our meals including appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts, and sometimes drinks or tasting menus when available. Please do your own research if concerned about potential pricing.*

    Creamed spinach

    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.

    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.

    Croissant dinner roll
    Ed C.

    As a Vegas local - Don's Prime may be the most delicious steak dinner I've had in a VERY long time and that's including dining at The Golden Steer. Sorry, not sorry but I ordered take out because I didn't want to get fancied to dine in and figured I could enjoy my dinner in my room with a view of Orbi and the Strip. It was my birthday and i did what I want. And when I tell you I was blown away by the service and food - 5 stars is not enough. My experience may be rare so bear with me. I ordered & paid for: NY steak, med rare Whipped potatoes Iceberg Salad It was just me and I didn't need a spread, just my essentials. Here is what I left with: NY steak Whipped potatoes Iceberg salad Mac and cheese Pretzel breadsticks Croissant dinner roll ALL THE SAUCES And a cheesecake with berry sauce And while I waited - a lychee martini. I walked in wearing sweatpants, a basic tee, and slip ons - i was nothing special. So this service was epic for me. The hostess and gentleman who took my order were so kind and so nice. I wish I got his name, I'm thinking he's a manager of some sort because the amount of stuff I was comped couldn't have come from a basic employee card. He basically said he added everything else in there because "I WAS SO CLOSE" to having the perfect order thus all the add-ons and it's technically what he ordered for himself. I am so thankful. Like this stuff never happens to me. And as much as I thanked him, He said, "THIS IS HOW WE DO IT AT DON'S!" Now, the food. I was a little concerned when I realized I had plastic cutlery but I had to make due with what I had and was not going to call room service for silverware. And hotdogs - i didn't need to. That steak was so tender the damn plastic knife cut through that thing like it was a Japanese blade cutting butter. The flavor had fireworks going off in my soul. I didn't need no sauce to chase that steak down. The Whipped potatoes are the best I've ever had anywhere. The Mac and cheese so gooey, cheese pulls every single time, and the flavor was super balanced. Not to salty, oily, cheese, creamy - just perfect. The Iceberg salad offered more than I was expecting, and that's one dish I finished off. The croissant dinner roll was a surprise. I don't usually care for croissant hybrid crossovers but this one was savory and buttery and amazing. I wish I had soup to dip it into. I dipped the pretzel rolls into the Mac and cheese and all I was missing was a pint in a pub. The cheesecake was thick, just how I like it. Guys, 10/10. It's a steak dinner I'll never forget and it's wild to say that it was a take out order. I'll be making reservations to have a proper dine in experience soon.

    Filet Mignon Carpaccio
    D G.

    Perfect in every way! It was so good that we went back the very next night and ordered almost the exact same dishes. The standouts were the filet mignon carpaccio, the New York steak with béarnaise sauce, and the creamed corn. The service was excellent as well.

    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.

Honestly, the entire staff were all great and very helpful. The food was GREAT. So good. So filling...come ravenous. We both did the $70 3-course and it was great. The salad portions were generous and you even get a side with your steak. And the dessert was delicious (I'm not a tiramisu person at all but the Oreo one...man, so good). Also want to give a shoutout to the violinist--he was playing such a wide genre of music and it just made the ambiance and vibe so much better. Overall, we were both very pleased and impressed with our experience. When we come back to Vegas, we will definitely return!

Once I stepped foot inside and saw a completely packed house with an hour and a half wait and barely standing room at the bar, I knew it was worth whatever wait or process I had to go through. Ultimately I lucked out as an individual. I was able to snag a bar top seat pretty quickly and had I known then I was sitting down to what was going to be one of the best meals of my life, I would have been visibly more excited. Not only was the service absolutely top notch, the people and the regulars there were extremely friendly and outgoing. The vibe was perfect, a strange mix of a place that felt like it had been there for 200 years yet was somehow high energy and vibey. From a killer cocktail recommendation to one of the best steaks I've had in my life and coming from Oklahoma City, where I work a mile away from the stockyards and can get great quality fresh beef six ways from Sunday, that's saying a lot. I usually despise most things truffle but if I was forced to eat that truffle mac and cheese every day for the rest of my life I would consider it a life well lived. While I would have never ordered it on my own, a customer next to me recommended the porn star cocktail and I have to say it was also one of the most delicious things I've ever had in my life. Ten out of ten, top notch experience. Would recommend. Will be back every time I'm in Vegas, no questions asked.

    This place is worth the $$$$$ When you walk in the vibe is…read morevery low lighting which I love because I'm not a fan of bright lights. Be prepared for a wait even if you reserve a table, this place is very popular. The service and staff is very kind and quick tho, they are very knowledgeable on everything on the menu as well. The most important part tho is the food, it was exquisite. I saw someone order the hanging tomahawk too and I tried not to drool. Don't worry they will serve you some really good bread while you wait. I can't wait to go back here and get the hanging tomahawk. That vision and smell of it lives rent free in my head ‍

    I recently dined here with my husband and a large group of friends to celebrate a surprise birthday…read morefor him. I was actually able to make sure he'd come and even get him to dress up a bit by telling him we were going to a special Yelp Elite event...and it worked! Lol! The atmosphere, style, vibe, service, and even the bathrooms are all worth mentioning. I ordered the Tennessee Sidecar, and it was easy to drink. My favorite cocktail is a classic Sidecar, so I really enjoyed this twist on it. My husband and I shared the Tomahawk for Two. The menu didn't mention that it came with any sides, but it was served with cooked carrots and asparagus in the same pan as the steak. Since we didn't know that ahead of time, we also ordered the whipped potatoes and broccolini. The presentation was beautiful, but unfortunately the tomahawk lacked flavor. My husband and I both ended up adding salt to our steaks, and that's honestly never happened to us at any steakhouse before. The steak itself, however, was cooked perfectly. The carrots, asparagus, and broccolini were all decent, but they also needed a bit of seasoning in our opinion. The standout side for us was definitely the whipped potatoes. Those were delicious! One dish that really caught our attention at the table was the Surf & Turf. It was served with melted butter in a small bowl that sat over an enclosed flame, which made for a really nice presentation. I included a video. As for dessert, I have to admit my husband and I were disappointed. After seeing photos from other reviews that mentioned getting a large slice of rich chocolate cake, I was expecting my husband to receive a nice slice of their chocolate cake for his birthday, too. Instead, he was brought what they called a "Green Velvet Cake," which tasted like a cheesecake-cake hybrid. I'm sorry, but it was very underwhelming. It honestly made me think it was a cake idea from St. Patrick's Day. Not only did it look unappealing to us, but all of that bright green food coloring wasn't exactly appetizing either. We also expected there to be at least one birthday candle, but there wasn't. My husband ended up sticking a toothpick into the cake and pretended it was a candle, which at least gave us a good laugh. I'm also hoping that "birthday dessert" wasn't something we were charged for. Overall, the ambiance is beautiful, the staff was friendly and attentive, and I even loved the bathrooms. Each restroom has its own private sink inside, which was thoughtful and that I really appreciated. (Photos included!) That said, the food my husband and I ordered simply didn't live up to our expectations, especially for a steakhouse at this price point. Because of that, we probably wouldn't choose Smith & Wollensky again for celebrating a family birthday. If we did return, we'd definitely be ordering something different.

    Great food and bartender. We just needed a lighter lunch since we were planning on walking around…read moreafterwards so we shared some devils eggs and a pot roast dip sandwich. Both were very good and the sandwich came with slightly spicy tots. It was the perfect amount of food and the bar seating was comfortable. We've been here a few times but haven't been back in too many years. That'll change now and we'll be back sooner. Glad to see that this place is still here since so many other restaurants we visited once are now gone.

    Small place, good music playing and it wasn't terribly loud in the dining area, which we…read moreappreciated. We could carry on a conversation at the table. The waitstaff were dressed very casual, jeans and t-shirt casual. Although the food is upscale, everything else about this place seems very casual diner like. We could even see most of the work going on in the small kitchen. Mostly shareable plates... Our table chose the deviled eggs with caviar - these were a hit! Dynamite shrimp, most at the table liked these, they were spicy and the flavor was decent, but I just felt like the sauce made the breading a bit soggy and it wasn't a favorite of mine. Pork Belly - This had a buffalo sauce on it, which I wasn't too excited about at first, but it worked better than I expected. Wish it was just a little crispier but it was tender and I enjoyed it. Oxtail risotto - this one had mixed reviews from the table, I really enjoyed it. The flavor was good. There's only a small amount of meat and it's shredded into the risotto. Overall the consistency was a little weird, very thick and almost sticky/dry, plus the dark color. They had a steak on the menu and the flavor was great, one of the pricier menu items but it was a good share. My wife ordered a burger without the bun. She said the patty was well over-cooked and so it was pretty dry. They don't offer gluten-free buns or bread - bummer. The service was generally prompt, but seemed uncoordinated at times. For example, it seemed our waitress was also handling a very large party outside on the patio, and randomly the hostess would bring us a drink refill (hostess stand was right beside our table). That's good in a way, they are all a team, but she also picked up my plate and silverware after only the first appetizer - mind you they bring everything out as it's ready, so don't expect the whole table to eat together, you are expected to share! When I asked if she could replace my silverware, she grabbed a fork and knife and handed to me, but they weren't rolled in a napkin or anything, just barehanded me some silverware... anyway, I thought that was odd. Overall, the food had some bright spots and perhaps worth a lunch if you are downtown. I probably wouldn't seek it out again, but I'm not mad about the meal we had either.
