This restaurant was reviewed in the January 2012 LVA; some of the information contained in the review may no longer be accurate. Everyone’s been waiting for the Oscar Goodman steakhouse to open and it has. We had a good meal there, getting the big bone-in New York strip ($46) and a 12-ounce filet ($42). Everything’s a la carte, so adding an appetizer, salad, two sides, a dessert, and drinks pushed the tab up to $195 for two, but it doesn’t have to be that expensive. The “Spilotro-style” skirt steak is $25 and a six-ounce filet is $26. Salmon and chicken are also in the mid-$20s. Appetizers are $13-$15, salads are $7-$8, and sides are $5-$7, so you can have a good dinner for about half of what we paid. The big deal here, though, is the room. The restaurant is located in the famous Plaza glass dome where the Center Stage was for many years. It looks down Fremont Street with a perfect view of the canopy. With the official name of Oscar’s Steakhouse, Beef, Booze, & Broads, the restaurant’s meant to have a speakeasy/mob feel. The servers are dressed in throwback duds and some of the dishes have names like “Crazy Phil’s onion soup,” “Jasper & Hunchy’s tomato tower,” and “Oscar’s mayor weiner schnitzel,” but that speakeasy thing still doesn’t quite come through. The space is due to be tricked out with Goodman mob memorabilia, but what it needs is some appropriate live music to push the theme. There’s also a restaurant-within-a-restaurant called Simpatico, which serves an Italian menu.
