Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino

I accidentally booked a reservation for 2 instead of 3 (including our 10-year-old) for 7:30 on Christmas night. We called to let them know and were relieved that they were able to accommodate us. The next reservation for 3 was at 10:30 PM when I realized my mistake and tried to change my reservation. The roast chicken a la grand-mere was delicious and perfectly cooked. The frisée & lardon was very good. My daughter got the steak et frites, which was a bit tough but she liked it. Banana Foster was pricey but delicious. Asked if we could room charge but the waiter said it takes 10 minutes. I’m assuming he didn’t want to do the room charge. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and were grateful that the manager approved the change to our reservation.

We sat at the bar and had an amazing time. She was the only lady bartender. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and took care of all guests professionally. Food was great and came out quickly. My only criticism are the hostesses that seat you need to engage and smile more.

Everything was absolutely delicious. Matthew and the other bartenders were very professional and you can tell their sole focus was on the guests. And from one chef to another, thank you Chef Ben! By the way, the roasted bone marrow was off the hook!

We felt like the entire vacay was a waste after several subpar meals. As frequent travelers we had already planned to spend $150/meal for our family of 3 because Vegas in general is pricey. However, we didn’t expect to be left unsatisfied after spending that amount for each meal. Things were so bad at other highly recommended spots that we initially canceled our reservation to Guy’s, which was sad because the Burger was the deciding factor in my husband selecting a Christmas vacay destination as he was determined to get the burger to see how it compared to the Guy Fieri burgers on Carnival cruise ships (which they threaten you with a $250 fine if you to sneak one off the ship). After trying to visit a different restaurant that closed early we decided to give Guy Fieri’s a try and we are so happy we did. The burgers were delicious and definitely worth the price (we paid extra for an additional patty since we removed most of the toppings). The fries taste like lays Barbecue chips and the wings were really good as well. The server was very kind and attentive as were the other servers. Our kiddo loved the Mac n cheese.

Excellent lunch. Shared the deviled eggs, Brussel sprout Caesar salad, carrots, and brownie dessert. It was plenty for 2, in fact I took some salad and carrots home. Everything was yummy and service was perfect. It was a Monday afternoon and I had made reservations but would not have been necessary. Give Carson Kitchen a try. Be adventurous though. It may not sound good when reading the menu, but trust me, it’s all good!
