Don's Prime

Great service, yummy food and really nice people! Reservations are a MUST. We were here on a Monday night and ate at 5 pm. After we left, the place was packed. It was just 2 of us so we shared. Classic Cesar salad, Bone-in Ribeye, Potato gratin and crispy brussel sprouts. Logan and Joe were amazing. They had funny stories and offered great suggestions. I wish we had saved room for dessert. We saw another table get Chocolate Mousse prepared table side!! They even have a smoked Smores type dessert.We had to walk off our meal, but when we came back around 8pm, the restaurant was so full! I guess, we will have to come back for dessert another time.

For years, I have always considered SW Steakhouse my favorite steakhouse of all time. But last summer we stayed at Fontainebleau in Vegas and tried out Don's Prime. I might have a new favorite.We came in as a party of 3 with a reservation. We did have to wait about 15 mins for a table, despite the reservation. Then they sat us at a two person table which, as 3 large adult men, this wasn't ideal. We mentioned this was acceptable and they sat us at the bar while they prepared another table. It got off to an inauspicious start. But after another 10 mins at the bar, we were seated at a booth table, with sufficient room for us.It has an intimate atmosphere, dimmed lighting, classic style. The service after the initial seating disappointment was top notch. Every drink we ordered was fantastic and the sommelier was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered the 40oz Tomahawk to split between us, along with a couple sides to share. I would never order mac n cheese on my own, but I acquiesced to the desires of the table; we also got a side of creamed spinach, I believe. Everything was mouthwatering and delicious, but the Tomahawk cut was superb. As I mentioned before, it may have been the best steak I've ever had, and I have been set on the best steak I've ever had for the last 20 years. The meat literally melted on my mouth. Excellent flavoring, tender, perfectly cooked. I cannot say enough about the quality of the meal. Unmatched. I will definitely make Don's part of my routine when visiting Vegas and looking for an elite steakhouse for dinner. You should too. You won't regret it.

Crowded but service was nice.The raw seafood plate was delicious and the highlight of the meal. The complimentary bread basket was good as well. Salad was fine but average. Steak was too salty and couldn't get through eating it all without cutting off edges. The crab potatoes were average as well.

Everything was great! We ordered the Tomahawk Steak, Mac N Cheese, and Asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the Caesar salad which was just ok. We could have skipped that and just enjoyed the complimentary bread. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself was nice and inviting. We had a great dinner!

Great dinner with friends. Old steak house feel. Service was top notch he answered all our questions and recommended the right size steak for us. Crab cake was good. Tomahawk steak was tender. Served table side and they did all the major cutting. We had the lobster Mac and cheese. Only issue I had was I'm a Kraft Mac and cheese guy. I like my cheese creamer/ melted more. But lobster was great. The pretzel and pull apart bread were delicious, almost ate too much. Also had mashed potatoes and creamy spinach. For dessert I had the s'more "brownie ". It was also good. Definitely would go back.

Fontainebleau's Premier SteakhouseDon's steakhouse has great ambiance, and it hits you as you walk into the foyer with its chic bar on the right. It just invites you in with the lounge chairs, though it's a bit tight in a kinda cozy way. But how is the food as good a the reviews say it is? If you're the discerning and well-traveled steak lover like me, you may want to consider a few pro tips. Bottom line up front, Don's is great for the tableside show, but the more discerning palate may get a bit overwhelmed if ordering isn't done tactically.The Tomahawk. For $245, this is their premier cut. A wet aged steak, and unfortunately, it was not available as dry-aged. That said, the wet aging process coupled with the trendy beef tallow they throw on their makes for some juicy meat. The tallow (compare to Smith & Wollensky) and the finishing salt (didn't ask, but I assume Malden) is all part of the fancy but subdued table side carving service. Definitely gram-worthy stuff. But. The salt. The steak is already rubbed with some decent salty seasoning, but then the addition of the finishing salt sends the salt meter up pretty high. This makes for some serious salt headaches if you don't drink plenty of water and don't order the right sides. Can only recommend both without said finishing salt AND less salty sides. Be warned that the steak will cool pretty quickly and came out warm instead of hot (compare to Peter Luger's heated plate).Creamed spinach. Nice flavor and touch with a halved Scotch egg. However, too salty as a side to go with the tomahawk with finishing salt. Recommend only if you lose the finishing salt and pick a lower salt side to pair with it.Potato gratin. We debated this or the puree potatoes. This might be the worse option because it was too salty. Salt is not just in the cheese crust but throughout the potato itself. This tells me they added extra salt. Can only recommend if you get the tomahawk without the finishing salt. Do not recommend with the creamed spinach since it will be too salty together.Mushrooms. Must order because not saucy and very lightly salted. As such, you can pair this side with anything else.Mousse. Served table side, the spectacle is worth some pics. However, I cannot recommend because the mousse itself was a bit lacking in chocolatey flavor. Texture was more crumbly than expected, which is fine. But the issues lies in the toppings, which include cherries in a cherry sauce, a vanilla cream, and chocolate chips. Overall just too sweet and sugary and not enough authentic chocolate taste.Free bread. You get a nice pull apart bread with pepper and a pretzel bread -- also naturally salty. Tasty and buttery. Really buttery. Recommend.Overall, while I wanted so badly to at least rate Don's a four, it's really a solid 3. Service overall okay but nothing special. We had two different servers, which I thought was cool though. Because of the excessive salt and the so-so dessert, I can only give a so-so thumbs up. If you go here, please use caution in ordering. Maybe you'll get a different experience, but for reference, the table agreed that Peter Luger's kills this place -- which might explain why it's a touch harder to get a good table there anyway.

Don's Prime, located in the Fontainebleau Hotel, offers a fine dining experience that begins the moment you step into the hotel. The fresh, clean, and high-class atmosphere is immediately noticeable, and the beautiful interior décor sets the tone as you make your way to the restaurant.We were warmly greeted by the friendly staff upon arrival and promptly seated. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. Multiple staff members attended to us, ensuring we felt valued throughout the evening. My wine selection was exquisite and paired perfectly with our meal.My friends and I opted to share the appetizers, sides, and desserts to experience a variety of flavors. We were first treated to warm Pull-Apart Croissants and soft pretzels, which were a delightful start. The Jumbo Lump Crabcake with basil aioli and shaved fennel slaw was a standout dish for me--absolutely delicious. The Mushroom Risotto with black truffle was rich and indulgent; the black truffle added an incredible depth of flavor. We also enjoyed the Amuse Bouche and Shrimp Cocktail as appetizers.For my main course, I ordered the Bone-In New York Strip Steak, accompanied by sides of Butter Whipped Potatoes, Asparagus, and Creamed Corn. The portions were generous, and while we couldn't finish the steak, we saved just enough room for dessert.To end the meal, we indulged in a trio of desserts: Cheesecake, Crème Brûlée, and Apple Pie, each one more delicious than the last. The entire dining experience at Don's Prime was exceptional, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented.

A very nice steakhouse. We had my bday dinner there. First time here and it will not be our last. We were staying at the hotel and wanted to enjoy a restaurant within the hotel. DP did not disappoint. It was warm and cozy restaurant as soon as you enter. The bar has plenty of seats if you did not have reservation or go for a drink. Service was perfect. We had James and Josep. The busboy was on point as well. The three of them did not miss a beat on the service for our table. We brought our own wine and corkage was $50 for 750ml. We like our 2018 Daou to enjoy with our steak. Although the steak was not completely as we liked it to be prepared, we did communicate it, and they removed the charge of the dessert for that hiccup. No issues at all. We had 6pm reservation and by the time we left, the restaurant was full of ppl.

I came back after 7 long months to enjoy another beautiful dinner here on Sunday Nov 24.Could this experience out do my last experience? It most certainly did! I did not put pictures up for this review as we ordered the same thing, however this time I was not on Keto, so I could enjoy that delicious bread and pretzel they serve...it was amazing. Hub and I got the 12 ounce filet, but this time they split it on two plates. We ordered a side order of peppercorn that was great and the whipped potatoes that I finally got to try...scrumptious!!Our service team was top notch..amazing..the young kid filling waters and clearing plates was charming and very sweet. We decided to save room for dessert and ordered the creme brûlée....this picture and dish deserves a rating for itself.The dessert was big...easily enough for two..it came with lemon cookies whipped cream and some of the freshest berries I have ever eaten. The brûlée itself was amazing..likely earning the now best ever one that I have ever had...and I have many.This place continues to amaze me...absolutely in my top 5 favorite places to eat in Las Vegas.

Amazing atmosphere, high end service. Known for its steak and hot seafood tower. Must go and see for yourself. Thank me later. Hot seafood tower is a must and so is the lobster mad and cheese. Hope my pictures make it easier for you to order.
