The service was top tier, food was amazing, and the best view in Las Vegas. Will definitely make it a point to dine here again next time I'm in town. read more

Arguably the best experience we have had at a restaurant in Vegas. We arrived about ten minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately at a nice window seat. I'm not one to expect to be treated like royalty when I go to a place no matter how nice but I have to say I was very happy with how we were served. It has a nice ambiance low light, music low enough that you can hear but not have to talk over. The food, we were started with bread and a mustard butter that was fantastic. My partner had the elk and not joking had the most happy satisficed look the entire time she was eating it, made sure to get every last piece of meat of the bones. I had a fantastic ribeye with bearnaise sauce and it also came with roasted garlic that was cooked to perfection. But by far what made the trip for me was the Black forest Piecaken, a slice of cherry pie inside a slice of cheesecake, inside a black forest cake so good and rich I could not finish it, it was not a bad breakfast. I have literally one issue, and that was the mac and cheese and I have no better way of saying it other than pass. It could have been an anomaly but there was no cheese to be found. It tasted like plain noodles in bechamel that was just flour, milk and butter. There was absolutely no cheese to be found. I'm not trying to be snarky this is the best description I can give, again it could have just been a bad batch but it was never the less disappointing. It does not put me off of returning next August when I will be staying there again. Over all a great experience besides the cheeseless macaroni. read more

This was our first visit after being an Esther's customer for years. We had reservations for our anniversary and the hostesses wished us a happy anniversary, as well as our server. The view was great. Due to the high temps, the patio was closed for seating, but it was open for pictures & to enjoy the views. The service was great. It wasn't speedy as it was obvious the restaurant preferred you enjoy your meal as opposed to turning tables & getting customers pushed out the door. If you have show tickets or other reservations, I suggest you let your server know so your foods are coursed appropiately. We never went without anything during the meal, ever. There were many things we could have selected for appetizers, but we limited ourselves as we knew it would be too much food. We both enjoyed the brussels as an appetizer. And of course, there was fresh baked bread with mustard herb butter. Yum! For our main meal, my husband ordered the bison steak and really enjoyed it. I had the filet mignon which was good. A salt blend & an herb blend come to the table so you could season your meat how you wish. We shared the creamed spinach and mushrooms for sides. They have a great selection of sides. For our anniversary, they presented us with a couple of cake pops which I assume were representations of their hummingbird cake which I almost ordered. Instead, I ordered the vanilla souffle which was amazing. The cake pops were really good. Maybe I'll order the hummingbird cake next time. Communication was great as apparentlyl the glass elevators were shut down due to high winds so we received a text notifying us where to park and get the elevators shortly before arrival. James Trees himself even stopped by our table to check on us. It was a good meal and we'll be back! read more

The dessert didn't quite live up to the expectations. It looked promising but ultimately felt pretty average. Decent enough to finish, but not something I'd go out of my way to order again. With a name like High Steaks, I was hoping for a stronger finish. I didn't get a chance to try the steak, so I can't speak to what they're best known for. That just means I'll have to come back and give the main event a fair shot. The service, however, was the highlight of the visit. The bartender absolutely made the experience. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. He gave great recommendations, kept the conversation flowing, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. That level of hospitality goes a long way. The atmosphere had a fun Vegas energy. Lively without being overwhelming. It's a good place to grab a drink, hang out, and enjoy the vibe, even if every dish doesn't knock it out of the park. Overall, I'd give it another chance for the steaks alone. The service earned that opportunity. It's giving... Bellagio lobby energy before you lose track of time. read more

James Trees does it again! We decided to go to the bar and grab some light bites and a drink. I have been up here before when Voodoo Steak was here, but they have really dressed up the inside of this place in such a beautiful way. There are only 7 seats at the bar, and eventually they all filled. The bartenders were extremely helpful and friendly. They asked if we wanted bread and we said yes...they have a mustard butter that is phenomenal here, but hubby only likes regular butter so they brought both. Great service! We ordered two glasses of Rose' for a very fair price and they were good pours. Hub wanted the prime rib slider so he ordered two of those, I got the Ahi tartare and we split a mashed potatoes. The food was extremely good, I especially loved the potatoes. We wish we had room for dessert, but we were too full...next time I gotta try those Key lime donuts. read more

*** Review for Restaurant Week 2026 menu *** This is probably one of the top five meals I've had in Las Vegas. The RW menu, like all participants, are generally chosen from the exisiting menu. With High Steaks, there were many choices for each of the four courses and I was informed that the menu was flexible. The restaurant is on the 50th floor of the Maquerade Tower of the Rio Hotel. You start by going to the 2nd floor of the casino. There's a check in place there. You are guided to the elevators and wait for one to arrive. When you enter the restaurant, you notice the views. I was taken to my booth close to the east side of the room with a good view. I had studied the menu online and knew escatly what I wanted. For Course 1, I chose the wild game tartare, a mixture of bison, venison, elk, and boar with egguolks and a bit of salty tapenade. It come with small pieces of bread to enjoy. For course 2, I chose the smoked prime rib. Not having that before, I didn't know what to expect. It was superb! A bit of a different flavor but I'll be back to have that again. Course 3 was creamed spinach. Standard and a nice accompaniment to the meal. Finally, course 4, desseet, I had to try the Black Forest Pieecaken.. That's cherry pie inside chocolate cheesecake. It;s topped with cocoa whipped bream and there's some cherry sauce on the sdife of the piecaken. Before ordering, I was told by John, my server and go to person, to feel free to go out and take photos. I had been here two times before when it was a different restaurant. The view outside is amazing, too! I hesitate to call John my server because he was my guide through the evening. Always coming by to see how everything was, answering questions, and being a very personable guy. This was a meal I'll remember for a long while. James Trees has done it again. I have to go back in the future and have that smoked prime rib. An outstanding evening. read more

Since hearing about High Steak Vegas, I was excited to dine here. I heard that Chef James Trees was going to open this steakhouse and I've been to all of his other restaurants, so we finally gave High Steaks Vegas a try. Easy to make reservations and the restaurant is pretty good in size. Great for larger parties. Also, I like sitting on the South East side of the restaurant. I think it has better views during the evening hours. Our servers name was Adrian and he was very nice and professional. He checked up on us but didn't bother us often. :) Food: In a year I'll have an alcoholic beverage but for now, I'll drink water. Crab Cake Rib Eye Steak Medium temperature with Prawns Creamed Spinach The steak was cooked and seasoned to my liking. The crab cake was delicious and to me it tasted really good. I squeezed lemon to give a little acidic flavor. The Prawns were okay. Nothing stood out but it was still good. I enjoyed the cream spinach too. It complimented the steak well. Great date night spot and I loved going outside to take photos. read more

My wife and i split a wedge salad. The smoked prime rib was tremendous! I tasted the smokiness. The creamy horseradish and au jus was perfect addition. We split a baked potato that has all the trimmings separate, great idea. It took a while to our entree due to a party of 20 ahead of us. We had the great fortune to sit at the bar. The time was spent speaking with 2 excellent bartenders, Nathan and Rocco (Semper Fi) who made great cocktails for. Nathan's suggested bourbon to use in our Old Fashioned cocktails was a hit. The only thing that I would say to enhance our dining was to turn up the A/C as it was warm on 50th foor. This due to having outdoor seating and it does get very hot in the summer but don't let this stop you from dining here. We are certainly returning! read more

We dined here last night May 2nd, 2026. I made reservations a few weeks prior once we decided we were going to Penn and teller. We made the reservation for 3 as we were having a friend join after she got off work. I was excited to try this place knowing it used to be the iconic voodoo steak the reviews online raved about the food. We got seated immediately and had some time to look at the menu, the menu is fantastic and has a variety of different items to choose from I love that they have bison steak, we ordered the wedge salad to start as well as the 8oz filet, smoked fried chicken and the Yukon gold mashed potatoes with chicken gravy, and also the asparagus gratin Oscar style. The food was absolutely amazing the chicken was so juicy and cooked just right, my boyfriend did the steak was okay it wasn't cooked correctly, the potatoes were delicious and the asparagus gratin was good just very rich. The ambiance of the restaurant it's nice beautiful views of all of Las Vegas including the mountains. They also have an outdoor area where voodoo lounge is and you can see the Las Vegas strip, sometimes I'm amazed at the fact that I live here we have such a beautiful city we are so lucky we can experience the luxuries like this. For desert we ordered the hummingbird cake and a chocolate ice cream. Everything was very good and we had a great dinner. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here. The seafood appetizer was delicious (see photo) and the prime rib was thick cut, perfectly cooked rare and oozing flavor. And the bread, oooh, just look at the photo!

I will definitely return when I am staying at here. read more

They surprised me! This is an excellent restaurant in a somewhat tired casino. I was taken here as a surprise for my birthday. Once you get up to the restaurant on the 50th floor you have a beautiful view of the strip. They even have a nice large patio where you can enjoy your drinks outside. (No food service on the patio). The food was phenomenal! The chef is James Beard from Esther's Kitchen. We started off with with a Tom Collin's, then went for the crab cakes which were full of fresh crab, & had a corn relish around it. Then opted for the chopped salad which was great. Then came the "smoked" prime rib! I have never had it smoked before, & that's all I what now. It was so good. We chose the scalloped potatoes & creamed spinach as sides & they did not disappoint. Everything we had was so good. The food & the view were spectacular! The noise level was somewhat loud, as they had a large convention table next to us. Just go & enjoy the restaurant, the elevator that takes you there is a little dated & could use an air freshener. But once you get up there it is great food experience! read more

Came to High Steaks Vegas for restaurant week, what better way to sample some great food then during restaurant week. Perched on the 50th floor of the Masquerade tower of the Rio hotel, this new restaurant but chef James Trees, IYKYK, is a hit for sure. Their restaurant week menu had some very solid choices to put together a phenomenal meal. The service was incredible and the view was well worth the price of admission. Highly recommend. read more

High Steaks which is great already is special to me because my fiance proposed to me here. To start, the view is incredible. The outdoor patio of the restaurant which is at the very top of the Rio allows you to overlook the entire strip. While inside, the layout wraps around the circumference of the space so this provides several tables next to the glass for a view of the city and below. Staff were fantastic and very detail oriented. Our server gave great info on the menu, checked in often, but at the right moments and not too too often so as to not interrupt our time together. The food was delicious. Steak was fantastic (top 3 spots for my fiance), the calamari and Mac and cheese were delicious, and I loved the squid ink pasta which was perfectly acidic from the red sauce and savory. And the noodles had a nice bite to them. read more

Currently Chef James Trees' sixth Las Vegas venture, and the first proper Restaurant in a Casino following quick-casual concepts at The Strat and Resorts World, High Steaks Vegas opened in October 2025 replacing VooDoo Steak & VooDoo Lounge atop the Rio's Masquerade Tower. At one time a premier Off-Strip destination for locals and tourists alike, High Steaks and other new eateries see casino brass attempting to resurrect a derelict property with free parking, affordable Alcohol and the sort of Food worth getting excited about. Visited very early, service and expediting predictably green across an immense dining room, six month's practice now sees High Steaks' front of house humming while panoramic views of Las Vegas come at a fraction of the cost of Top of The World, Foundation Room or whatever replaces Vetri at The Palms. No doubt a space willing to take chances to capture locals, a bottle of Malbec nearly 67%-off compared to a Strip Steakhouse visited three days prior, housemade Bread offers a stretchy surface complimented by Mustard Butter while several sizes of Seafood Tower deliver Prawns and Crudo plus the usual Lobster, Oysters and Crab. Taking on several common themes for Starters, Bar Boheme's French Onion Soup ported over perfectly to the Rio, Bone Marrow delivers immense impact while Crab Cakes and Bacon are enjoyable if not "wowing" in comparison to a tangle of Spring Peas and "Fried Artichokes" that riff on classic Spinach and Artichoke Dip with impressive results. Not an "Italian Steakhouse," though Trees and team smartly flex their muscles with a couple of Pastas, diners tired of the same ol' Steak & Salmon will love "The Hunt" with Boar, Elk, Venison and "Lion" in the form of a Vegan-friendly Mushroom treated to a multi-step process that will impress Carnivores, as well. Offering 18oz of Tasmanian Wagyu Ribeye for less than $90, unheard of in this city post-Pandemic, Salisbury Steak is now gone due to poor sales while Fried Chicken is first brined and smoked for great depth of flavor. Recently adding seasonal Tortellini with Scallops, a dish that would not be out of place at Esther's, current sides range from Creamed Spinach to Asparagus with King Crab and Spuds baked, mashed, fried or dressed up plus Radiatore alla Vodka. Not forgetting Head-on Branzino, grilled and brightened by Cumin and Coriander Honey, Chef Jake Yergensen's Desserts continue to set a high bar as High Steaks' "Piecaken" straddles a fine line between French Silk and Black Forest while the Souffle and Donuts with impeccable Coconut Ice Cream are enjoyable, but not quite on the level of Hummingbird Cake made exactly as it aught to be. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with an amazing view of Vegas. I believe it's a hidden gem inside Rio on the 51st floor that offers views at your table and where you can walk outside on the patio to enjoy the drinks and views while you wait for your food. Our appetizer was a beef tartar. We ordered the surf and turf, New York strip with a side of Brussels sprouts and scalloped potatoes. Everything is very good but we were beyond floored by the BRUSSELS! It had an amazing crispy and flavor, best I've ever had! Ashely was our server and (I believe his name is) Paco -- they were so welcoming and kind. read more

My hubby surprised me with a birthday dinner at High Steaks, located on the 50th floor of the Rio hotel, offering stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip. We began our meal with the Bone Marrow, served with red wine onion jam, frisée salad, and sourdough toast, as well as the Lobster Chowder, which included corn, chives, potatoes, and a caramelized puff pastry. For our main course, we shared with our daughter, the Boneless Ribeye and the Tandoor Chilean Sea Bass, which came with spiced chickpeas and a charred eggplant-mint. We also ordered a side of Chef Joe's Scalloped Potatoes with cheddar gratin and caramelized onions. To end the evening, we shared the Hummingbird Cake--a moist banana cake with pineapple and toasted pecans, topped with cream cheese icing and served with butter pecan ice cream. They also surprised us with birthday cake pops for the table. We were very pleased with our meal and service and had a wonderful time on our first visit. read more

The steaks were high, and the expectations were maybe almost too high. High Steaks is the newest venture by beloved local chef James Trees, known for local favorites including Ada's, Bar Boheme, and the one I actually went to (and loved), Esther's Kitchen. This is his first steakhouse, and it replaced the old spot on the 50th floor of the Rio. The elevator access is actually on the 2nd floor of the Rio and is best reached from the rear parking garage, which leads to the casino entrance near the Star Wars burlesque parody (formerly Chippendales a long time ago) and Smashburger. You'll check in with the host there before enjoying a nice Strip view during the elevator ride up. FYI, reservations for early dinner were still readily available on a week night even shortly before opening. I will say that we may have overdone the appetizer portion of the meal. Forgetting about the free Parker House-style rolls and mustard butter - both excellent, although I started wishing for honey to be added to the latter - we also put in for several other items. The Wild Game Tartare ($21.00) is a plentiful portion packed with flavor and texture and served with tasty grilled ciabatta. The Truffle Crusted Mushrooms ($16.00) were fantastic. The Esther's Caesar ($17.00) was mostly great and came with both anchovies and a touch of hot sauce, although the croutons felt a bit hard and actually left me wanting a version on the first floor. We still followed that up with three steaks, all cooked medium-rare as requested. The Hanger ($46.00) was not my order, but it was easily my favorite as it was bursting with beefy and fatty goodness. The Bison Filet ($64.00) was tender but suffered a bit from the typical filet flavorlessness, and I felt that some of the char was a bit excessive. That may have lead to a very unfavorable pairing with the also-charred side of Brussels Sprouts ($14.00). Lastly, the Denver Cut ($48.00) was beefy but a little tough. The cool thing though is that you can and should deck the steaks. Each came with roasted garlic and a touch of a dark sauce which I forgot to inquire about. There were also two herb/spice mixes presented at the table. And then the steak sauces ($5.00) each really livened everything up, with rich Bearnaise standing out a bit more than the Bordelaise and Au Poivre. Service and ambiance really carried the night though. The servers were attentive and the waiter made helpful suggestions such as considering a full bottle if we were going with multiple glasses of Meadowcraft Cabernet Sauvignon '22 ($25.00), which was a bit of a dry and not outstanding Napa Cab by the way. He also invited us to enjoy the view from the terrace, which was still not very breezy or cold by the time we made our way there. It was perhaps even better than the views from similarly high venues at the Palms since it was closer. I highly recommend the apps at High Steaks, and the Hanger steak in particular. I'll have to explore more of the other proteins or entrees. And yes, they do accept Rio Rewards as payment if you happen to have dining credit or points, hint hint. read more

High Steaks is the complete package! The ambiance of Barry's Downtown Prime but add a 50th story view of the entire Vegas Valley. The flavors of the best in the business like Don's Prime. Service that compares to the Golden Steer or Mastro's Beverly Hills. We tried: Wild Game Tartare - wow! I hate olives and this has them apparently but this was hands down the best we've ever had. Where else can you get wild game tartare??? Wedge Salad - upscale wedge, very good Lobster Thermidor - cooked to perfection with apples and pine nuts. Wonderful combination. This was part of their Mother's Day menu so not always available. New York Strip (usda prime) prepared to perfection. Simply seasons and cooked perfect. Highly recommend and will return!

Chef Trees is the bee's knees!!! I am a fan of all his restaurants and High Steaks exceeded all expectations!! It was like a blast from the past to take the elevator up 50 floors to High Steaks, instead of Voodoo Lounge!! The mood is a dark, forest green/emerald green, classy vibe! All the employees were absolute gems for genuine customer service!! Andy was our awesome server and his assistant, Willard(?), was amazing as well! Willard always filled our waters, checked on us multiple times, and made us laugh throughout the night! Someone, give the man a promotion! ;) Everything we ordered was so so delicious; I enjoyed every single thing we ordered!! The faves of the night for me would have to be: 1. The Parker House rolls with the mustard butter - AMAZING!!! I usually do not do butter, but the mustard butter was good enough to convert a non-butter on bread oddball like me!! 2.The smoked jidori fried chicken was the best fried chicken EVER! The presentation was fun and I am craving more as I write this review! 3.The pastrami glazed bacon! Thick cuts of bacon that was like salty n savory meat candy!! 4. Truffle crusted mushrooms! They pair well with the pastrami glazed bacon and the cheese filling is so smooth and delicious! Go all in at High Steaks!! Your tastebuds will win no matter what!! ;) read more

Let me preface this with I believe Esther's Kitchen is one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. We also enjoy all of the other restaurants that we've tried in this restaurant group. I was super excited to hear about High Steaks and then finally get the chance to dine in. We came in for my husbands birthday. I do not come to restaurants trying to find free things, that's not me, but when I say it's a birthday on the reservation, I expect that to be recognized. It was not. We did inform the server and got cake pops with our dessert, but I would have rather had a candle placed in one of the desserts I paid for. Walking up to the hostess stand, she seemed super apathetic, uninterested in greeting us kindly. Just a, "go to the elevator, 50th floor." After coming up, the people working the stand there were much friendlier. The ambiance is a bit lacking in the open spaces leading up to the restaurant, like it was unfinished or had seen better days. Which is sad because I LOVE green and this shade is gorgeous. We were sat towards the back so we did have a slight strip view but that's not super important to me. We were offered to go to the balcony after eating by our server who said she would take pictures of us, but that was forgotten at the end of the meal. We waited quite some time for someone to touch our table. It was almost 30 min before the bread came out. The bread was awesome and the mustard butter was really good. I ordered a bottle of wine and of course, they were out of it and suggested a "similar" wine for a higher price. I just said yes because it wasn't too off, but I didn't like that there weren't more options for comparable wine. I'm not a somm, a recommendation would have been nice, especially with how wine forward this restaurant group tends to be. We ordered a salad, an app, the tomahawk and some sides. There was nothing that wowed me. The tartare was good but kind of flat and unseasoned. The Caesar salad was good but very small for the price point. The medium tomahawk I ordered came rare (which I do prefer and order medium on purpose because this always seems to happen and if I said med rare, this steak might have come out blue.) The au gratin was flavored well but the potatoes were crunchy. The brussel sprouts were fantastic. We also ordered two desserts, not realizing that cake pops would come too. It was too much. These desserts are HUGE and very, very shareable. Comparing the size of the salad versus the desserts was just plain sad. For this price point, things should have been better, and why I mentioned what I did earlier about the candle. We had a manager touch the table quickly and I appreciated that. We saw the chef greeting other tables, so I'm sure that's nice if you're a VIP. Overall, I think this place could settle into a great place but right now, I'd say it's just ok. read more

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Chef James Trees has done it again. There literally nothing he can't do! Leave it to James to take us back to Voodoo with the best new steak house in town! If you're visiting Vegas this is a MUST do. Not only are you getting some of the best food by a beloved local celebrity chef, but you get the bonus of getting pictures with the literal best view in Vegas. It's super close to the strip, and easy to get to. If you're local this is perfect too, because you don't have to actually go to the strip and you get to revisit that old night club (Voodoo) you partied at in your 20s, but this time you're drinking a 2022 Nickel and Nickel Cabernet. The menu is unreal. So many cool meat cuts that you can't get everywhere (bison, elk etc) and then also familiar favorites plus some REALLY reasonable prices. The wine list is perfection, and you've got the dangerous James Trees sides and apps. Highly recommend the pastrami crusted bacon and the artichoke for an app. The asparagus was the surprise fave side, and the pie-cake-en for dessert was literally the best thing I've ever had. Service was 10/10 all around this is a stunner and you shouldn't miss it! read more

We had a dinner reservations @7:30 pm for a party of 6. You will need to take the outdoor elevator to up into the restaurant. Upon we checked out the outdoor deck of the restaurant and the view was definitely viewing. You can see the view is the Las Vegas strip. For appetizers we ordered the seafood tower, bone marrow, calamari, 2 dozen oysters, crab cakes and deep fried artichoke. My favorite was the seafood platter. This platter consists of salmon and ahi poke, 2 crab legs clusters, 1 lobster tail that was minced already for you, 6 oysters, and 3 prawns. The oysters were very sweet and small. The bone marrows were hella fatty which we like. We didn't care for the bread that was paired with the bone marrow. The rest of the appetizers were okay. The complimentary bread they gave was okay as well however their mustard butter was very unique. The mustard wasn't over bearing. For our entrees we had the smoke prime rib, rigatoni, and the surf and turf which includes a filet mignon and a lobster tail. All the entrees were delicious. You can taste the Smokey taste In the prime rib. I ordered chimuchurri sauce but It was okay. The rigatoni was very flavorful. The mignon was cooked to perfection it melted in our mouths. The lobster tail wasn't anything different it was steamed and the melted butter made it better. For our sides we had the roasted mushrooms, mac and cheese, cream corn and scalloped potatoes. My favorite was the roasted mushrooms and the scalloped potatoes it was very cheesy. The service was phenomenal. We informed our waiter we had a show to go to and needed to be out by a certain time and they made it happen. One thing I didn't like was the restrooms were far it was located in the front of the restaurant by the entrance area. Their customer service at the bar wasn't that great I rate them a 5/10 the bartender was too serious and wasn't friendly at all. Definitely will be back here if I were to crave for bone marrow or seafood. read more

Beautiful new steakhouse on top of the Rio Hotel with absolutely stunning views of the city. We love Esther's Kitchen in the art's district so of course we had to check out High Steaks. The elevator ride up is pretty neat as it's glass windows so you get a neat view as you ride up (don't look if you're afraid of heights). The interior is dark, romantic, velvety, and welcoming. Onto the food...we ordered the Caesar salad (just as great as Esther's), Mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts (deliciously crunchy), creamed spinach, boar chop, elk chop, prime rib, and the "lion" which is lions mane mushroom. As you can see from what we ordered, their selection of meats is unique and different than traditional steakhouses. My friend is vegetarian so he really appreciated the lions mane option and said it was seasoned very well. Their complimentary bread/butter is also amazing (the butter has 3 different types of mustard and is like their take on a pretzel). So good we asked for seconds. We also ordered cocktails (they offer mocktails too) and they were all amazing. My friends also gave raving reviews of the elk and boar. I ordered the prime rib medium rare and honestly should have asked for medium. It was a bit too pink for my liking which made the texture chewy and it was too cold for me. I know they were only open for a week when I visited so they are definitely still working out kinks, but our main entree took 2 hours to come out. By the time our steaks arrived, it was almost 9:30pm and we were starving. Our appetizer, bread, and cocktails came out rather quickly but our main entrees/sides took a long time (good thing we did not have a show or engagement after). The service was great overall and Chef James Trees made his rounds around and said hi to each table so that was nice and very personable. After dinner, we went out onto their outdoor area which offers just stunning views of the strip. Definitely enjoy a nightcap after your meal outside! read more

Went to dine for our 22nd wedding anniversary and it was an AMAZING experience, from the food to the service to the view. From the moment you are getting checked in, the hostess is nice and soft spoken. Our server was amazingly knowledgeable about meat cuts and seasonings, I loved that he served us at our pace, no rushing, not pushy. We had the Glazed Bacon and the Crab Cakes, so delicious! My husband ordered a Prime rib, was cooked to perfection, I ordered a Ceasers salad, it tasted fresh. Our server gave 2 cakepops as an anniversary dessert, they were a little sweet for my taste but it was a nice gesture. We asked for a table by the window and the view was BEAUTIFUL, you're able to see the strip, Allegiant Stadium, they also have a patio you can go outside and have drinks and take in the views. I high recommend dinning here at least once in your life. read more

We visited High Steaks for our anniversary, and as locals we were seated on the northwest side of the dining room. Unfortunately, the view from that section was pretty underwhelming. The interior itself is beautiful, though--lots of muted greens and a warm, modern atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive without hovering, and our water glasses never sat empty. The meal started with a small loaf of dill bread and mustard butter. I enjoy mustard, but this butter was extremely strong--more like spreading coarse mustard straight onto the bread. Once we asked for plain butter, the bread really shined. For appetizers, we ordered the bacon and the Cobb salad. The bacon was delicious--more like a well-prepared pork belly--and not overly sweet. The Cobb salad, however, missed the mark. It had an unexpected sweetness, the blue cheese was barely noticeable, and the overall flavor profile just didn't feel like a true Cobb. The confit tomatoes were the highlight. I wouldn't order the salad again, but I'd happily get the bacon. For mains, we chose the smoked prime rib and the flat iron steak. The prime rib had fantastic smoky flavor and was nicely trimmed, but it was surprisingly tough--difficult to cut and chewy, which is not what you expect from prime rib. The flat iron was adequate, and the roasted garlic helped elevate it. The scalloped potatoes were a bit odd in flavor, but the French fries were excellent. Dessert was a high point. We tried the piecaken and the hummingbird cake which was served with an outstanding butter pecan ice cream. To top it off, they brought us each a small champagne to celebrate our anniversary, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, the service and ambiance were lovely, and there were some standout items, but the food was inconsistent. Some dishes impressed, while others fell short of expectations--especially for a special occasion. read more

Food was great. Service was slow. Place looked pretty outdated. I guess cool if you giving an old Vegas vibe. Needed to catch a show and the whole food service took two hours just to get my final course. Top it off server brought me a pen that didn't work. Loved it. Just like the cherry on top. Trying to flag down the server all night and just when I need to tip you bring me a pen that doesn't work. There's just to many choices in Vegas to try this one again. read more

Wow! Where do I begin? Upon arrival, we were greeted and taken up to the top. The service was very lovely from the beginning to the end. Everyone smiling and attentive. Our waiter Andy, was very impressive and knew the menu through and through. He recommended some lovely appetizers like the bone marrow and Cesar salad, both were incredible! The bread was also divine but I asked for regular butter because the mustard seed butter it came with was mustard forward and not my cup of tea lol the drinks were so good!!!! I loved my espresso martini! It was so elegant and delicious. My bf ordered the boneless ribeye wild style and it was literally in n out style fries on top of steak. He said it was phenomenal. The burger and fries I ordered were pretty nice. The only complaint I have, the buns were very tough. But by the time my entree came, I had to box it anyways. So full lol. The ambiance was one for the books because it was in the tower, they had a balcony you could take pictures on and walk with drinks. All in all a pleasant steak house. read more

Popped in for Restaurant Week and was not disappointed! It felt like an old Vegas steakhouse, but with a phenomenal view. I sat at the bar solo, and Suzana was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. She made one of the better Americano cocktails I've had. They brought out bread right after ordering and I'm always a sucker for good bread. My first course was Esther's Caesar, which was a unique, and balanced Caesar salad. For the main course, I got the 8oz Venison Backstrap from New Zealand, which was cooked to perfection. It came with Chimichurri and a roasted cabbage. For the side, I ordered the Radiatore Alla Vodka and it is a James Trees staple. For dessert, I got the Hummingbird Cake, but I was already full so I could only finish the Butter Pecan Ice Cream and half the cake. However, it was decadent. I was told they're extending their restaurant week until the 19th of June. I paid $90 for all of that (minus the drink of course). Will be back to try more menu items. Might even go back again before the 19th! Great spot for locals and visitors, alike. read more

I'm here for the first time at High Steaks in the Rio just off the Las Vegas Strip. This is located on the 50th floor. The elevator gives you a great view (see video). There is a patio outside our table. This place has very unusual entrees including elk, venison, boar, bison, etc. They play classic music too! We are having the San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water to start. For my first drink, I'm having a Chef's Negroni made with Tyler's gin, Select Aperitivo, Carpano Antica, Sfumato. That's an unusual makeup. They say it's a "Spirit forward and dry" (not sure what that means). I love the cloth drink placeholders. The drink is made with large, square ice cube to slow the dilution process. This is just perfect! They start you with delicious bread and whipped butter. For our appetizers, we are having the Dungeness Crab Cakes (Old Bay Seasoning, creamed corn and tomato jam), Pastrami Glazed Bacon (black pepper, bourbon and brown sugar glaze). Wild Game Tartare (my suggestion - spicy olive tapenade, cured egg yolk, crispy shallots) and West Coast (or East) Oysters made with shallot mignonette and lemon. This tartare is delicious! I love the buttered bread! The Caesar Salad had an anchovy on top. Look at the presentation of that! The oysters are great! I love the vinaigrette, cocktail sauce and tobasco! They just dropped off juniper berry and thyme/sage herbs dry rubs (for the meats). For my second drink, I'm having the Boulvardier made with Old Forester bourbon, Campari and Sweet Vermouth. This looks just like a Negroni (my last drink). It's across between that and the Manhattan. It's quite good! For our entrees, we are having the Lobster Chowder (lobster, clams, chives, potato and caramelized puff pastry), Elk Chop (me; produced at the Pamu Farms in New Zealand), Venison Backstrap (Pamu Farms in New Zealand) and the Bison Filet (Beck and Bulow Farms in Santa Fe, NM). The sides are Chef Joe's Scalloped Potatoes (cheddar gratin, caramelized onions), Charbroiled Green Cabbage (with salsa verde) and Crispy Brussels Sprouts (saba, pecorino, mint and pine nuts). Saba is an ancient Italian condiment, a sweet, syrupy, cooked grape must (unfermented grape juice) that's a precursor to balsamic vinegar, known for its rich, fruity, caramelized flavor from notes of plum, cherry, and grapes, used to drizzle on desserts, cheese, meats, or as a natural sweetener. I love the Elk! Wow! That is good. The cabbage tastes like a charcoal grill! It's great! The chef (and owner, James Trees) came by and took a picture with one of us! For the dessert, we are each having the Hummingbird Cake made with banana cake with pineapple and toasted pecans, cream cheese filling and butter pecan ice cream. Look at this! You have to love the garnish (dried pineapple). This is carrot cake (and a LOT of it!). This is the best carrot cake I've ever had! Nothing is a disappointment here! What a fantastic place! read more

Honestly if I can give more stars I would. From the moment we walked in we were treated with amazing service. The elevator up with breathtaking. Full view of the Las Vegas strip. Our table wasn't ready yet so we waited by the bar and had a few cocktails while we waited. Our server Lorraine was exceptional! She told us about the valentines pre fixed menu and that's what we decided to do. The food was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back again . read more

Haven't been inside the Rio and saw good reviews so decided to try it out. Had a reservation on a Friday night and was able to be seated immediately. The restaurant is located on the 50th floor and as you're going up the elevator, you instantly have great views of the city. We were seated next to the window and had a decent view. The ambiance here is dim lighting throughout with classic rock/ old vegas music being played. Our server attended to us very promptly and asked for our order. The menu was pretty simple and seemed to have a lot of good items. We ordered the crispy calamari as starters. This came with marinara and lemon aioli sauce. I tried it without the sauce by itself and it was delicious. Perfect blend of seasoning, breading and crispiness. Then I tried it with both sauces which elevated the taste even further. The crispy calamari definitely a 5/5 in my opinion. For our entrees we ordered the filet mignon, the smoked jidori fried chicken and crab & asparagus Oscar gratin as our side. The filet mignon was slightly seared on the edges and cooked at a true medium. It came with two different additional seasonings on the side, but I will say the steak was seasoned well on its own and extra seasoning wasnt needed. Overall, it was a good steak, not the best. I was impressed by the presentation of the fried chicken. It came out as huge portion (see pics ) and as if I was eating a whole chicken. The breading of the chicken was nicely done. Chicken was very tender and like I mentioned definitely a lot to eat so I had leftovers. I didn't care for the sauce that came with the chicken as the hot honey was too sweet and other was just bland. The side we ordered was just okay, nothing special. Overall, I'd suggest trying this restaurant for a date night. I'd definitely be back to try other items. read more

I dined here with a large group, and although we had a reservation, we arrived a bit late. To make matters worse, we also brought extra guests. Both of these situations are highly annoying for a busy restaurant, but High Steaks was incredibly gracious about our delay and worked diligently to set up a new, larger table for us.Our waiter was thoughtful, friendly, and got all of our orders right. The bussers and expediters had a little trouble landing drinks and entrees in the correct spots, but these were minor mishaps expected during a slammed, late-night dinner rush.My order was simple: a ribeye steak and a baked potato. Both were outstanding--seriously, OUTSTANDING. My only criticisms regarding the food and drink were the horseradish sauce, which lacked flavor, and my very weak gin cocktail, which barely tasted like alcohol. Given the high price point, I expected a punchy horseradish sauce and a properly poured drink.That being said, my steak and potato were amazing, and everyone else in my group agreed their entrees were perfect too. The complimentary bread and butter was also a massive hit with the table, though I didn't try it myself.We enjoyed a beautiful view of the Las Vegas Strip skyline while we ate, and afterward, we hung out on the restaurant's massive, open-air deck. As a huge bonus, self-parking is still free at the Rio, unlike the Strip hotels where a $20 to $30 parking fee is now the standard. read more

I've found a new go-to for steak (and more)! Gregg M can regale you with all the details from our date night. But we loved it so much we went with friends so we could try a steak We opted for the Tomahawk (40 oz) $243. While we also had many of the items from our previous visit, we did try one new side: Basil creamed spinach ($14). Everything came out perfect, and who doesn't like the view! We did end again with the souffle, but they have a few other desserts that I feel like I must try next time. read more

This place is amazing from the view on the 50th floor on top of the Rio Casino and resort to the food and atmosphere. From beginning to end our waiter and staff were very helpful and attentive. Our food came out perfect and was delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

we had an amazing time here at high steaks! the walk to the elevators was a little interesting. it was dark and kind of reminded me of the tower of terror elevators haha. it was quiet and a little eerie. once we got to the top floor it looked fancy and we were greeted by friendly and very professional staff! the food was excellent! 1. bread and butter was served with a house made mustard and also butter if preferred. it was good but i liked the butter better. the bread was the fluffiest bread i've had. it was one of the highlights for me 2. lobster soup was my favorite. perfectly seasoned, not salty, not fishy.. just delicious. and it comes with a cute little lobster biscuit 3. bone marrow had a little creme brulee topping. it was delicious 4. crab cakes were ok. i wasn't a big fan of the dish 5. bacon.. this seems to be their popular dish but i couldn't eat it. it was too tough but the taste was good 6. sliders.. we're good. hubs liked it more than i did i would come back for that soup and bread alone. so delicious. you can also step outside while you wait for the food to see the vegas skyline all throughout our dinner, the service was excellent. the waiters were attentive. we were happy with our experience and will recommend it to others read more
