Portofino Steakhouse is a great find inside Montelago Casino at Lake Las Vegas. The intimate restaurant features soaring arched windows draped with luxurious cream colored curtains.
Escargot in a phyllo pastry purse is tender and perfectly executed, served with a rich brown sauce.
The antipasto platter has lots of grilled vegetables, meats and cheeses to whet your appetite for delicious steaks, seafood or an amazingly large salad.
A giant wedge salad made with iceberg lettuce is topped with chunks of blue cheese, bacon, egg and tomato, and served with a creamy blue cheese dressing.
Steaks served include a tender filet mignon, sirloin and ribeye. A hearty portion of parmesan-herb crusted rack of lamb is served in a delicate au jus sauce. It pairs perfectly with the house made potato medallions, fried and served either with truffles or parmesan garlic.
For dessert, a very thick tiramisu is a heavier option, while the brownie sundae is sure to please.
