Oscar’s

Welcome to Oscar’s. We arrived early and checked in then went to the bar for a beverage. The Bar tender was friendly and responsive and had great recommendations for their craft cocktails. When our party was finally all together we contacted hostess and was promptly seated. There were several large parties so it was a little loud. Our drink orders were taken and were not exactly promptly brought. Our waitress was Lenore and our bus person was Maria. This may sound trite, but when asking for a diet coke most places ask if Diet Pepsi okay. Oscar’s did not ask and some in our party do not care for Diet Pepsi. They should specify. (or Not??). I like that the Menu is one piece of paper on a cardboard backing. Finally our drinks arrive. We did not order wine because our waitstaff never returned after we said we were deciding on wine. Once they did return we just decided to order our main courses.
Our orders; Manny’s stuffed shrimp. Shrimp was over cooked and tough to even cut. flavor lacked seasoning. Josie ordered Prime Rib medium with Caesar Salad, Salad bland did not have capers, but that is a probably a taste I like in the salad but not many do it that way anymore. Her Prime Rib was more rare than medium was tough and lacked favor as well. I also ordered Prime Rib Mid Rare which came more rare (I can mostly be okay with that). Blue Cheese wedge.(Bleu). Could have used more dressing but the cheese crumbles were sufficient. Also a wedge to me is old fashioned wedge not one that is broken in four parts on plate. The other guests had 8oz Filet (more like 4oz). It was cooked correctly with good flavor but lacked a few ounces. Cedar Planked Blackened Salmon, Cooked a little more done than our guest liked however the flavor was good. Wonder if strong seasoning covers lack of a great cook on the fish. We had the three sides for $ 20. Steamed Asparagus, this was salted but it seamed like an after thought not cooked in for flavor (cooking 101). So no real flavor, however, properly cooked. Smashed Potatoes, Warm around edges and cold in the middle and bland to the taste. Finally Potatoes Au Gratin, Not sure what this really was. It seamed like half shredded potatoes and whole. Had a white cheese on top and as the Smashed, cold in the middle. These potatoes also had a funky flavor and a texture that is unable to explain. At one point we had a Manger (we assume) stop and ask how things were. We responded with «It’s Okay». No real response to this and she rambled on with some touristy rambling about our seat location. Not sure what this interaction was (Awkward, uncomfortable). In to the side dishes, we were told they were share size so I imagined A family style big plate. Each one except for Asparagus was more of a decent size for a side dish.
Since it was my Birthday they brought me a piece of Cheesecake with a candle. The Cheesecake tasted like it had been defrosted recently and had that freezer burn taste you get once thawed. The candle may have tasted better.
For the most part our wait staff was attentive and drinks were kept filled.
We had great expectations and half our party had been before and said it was quite different. As a rule we are just simple blue collar people who save up to go out and have a meal beyond our normal budget. Sometimes our meals are worth the expense, this, however was not. No photos, nothing stood out as a wow factor. Maybe the cook staff was focused on the big parties and we just took a back seat to the good food.
Goodbye Thank you for coming. We did not have an Exit farewell from the staff. (We may have left from the wrong door maybe). I can say I will not be back. The hype was not as good as reality. No Broads… I thought they had some showgirls or something. I can not recommend going here unless you like over priced, bland, over/​under cooked, and freezer burnt food.

I took my wife to dinner at Oscar’s and I was genuinely impressed. Our service was great and the food was marvelous. I had the prime rib and my wife enjoyed the filet mignon. Our meals were cooked just right, from the attacks to the sides The restaurant itself is very nice and perfect for an intimate dinner. Robert was our waiter and his service was more than excellent, I will not hesitate to go back to Oscar’s when I am in town (usually 6 times per year).

Great atmospheres with a wonderful staff. Wait service was top notch. Food was excellent.
I got the strip, rare. Steak was charred on the outside with a pink circle below that and a red center. Absolutely perfect! Fat was perfectly crisped and cook was spot on throughout.
Sides were excellent as well. Extremely fresh asparagus and delicious smashed potatoes.
This is the best steakhouse in Vegas and certainly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend. We were there on a Monday night as well.

Staying at the plaza and saw they have happy hour 4 – 7 so couldn’t stop myself. Half price drinks and appetizers. Best crab cakes I have ever had! Great service and nice atmosphere. Will be back for dinner tomorrow!

We had a wonderful time admiring the view and chowing down on delicious steak. The Motown singer was great. Spacing of tables made for an intimate dinner with fun people watching.

Nice place on the old strip in Las Vegas. Loved to service, food and the view. We got a little history lesson to boot

We were told to stop here for dinner while downtown since it was the best for steaks and we
were so pleased with the meal and view.
Oscars has fun history and a view, and a broad that walks around and visits at your table, very old Vegas which I so love.
The only thing negative I can say was when we were in the bar the one and only cocktail waitress failed to let us know that it was ladies night and women drank for free. I knew that seeing it on the website where I made our reservation that night, so I was surprised she did not mentioned it to us as she did so happily to the gals sitting right next to us. ALL LADIES.
My conclusion to that was because I was with a guy and not just women she chose not to let us know, and I felt it was a mistake on her part. Is that upcharging on her behalf? Im not sure.
There really should be no discrimination on ladies night if that was Oscar’s offer. We enjoyed our bar time, with some disappointment, but entering the dining room and enjoying the excellent service and view took away from our prior event in the bar.
If your downtown check it out food is wonderful dining room sweet.
Downtown has really become a project that should be saved and its proof that they are working hard to do so.

I was quite surprised at the great service and the quality of the food. Great view of Fremont Street. Ask for bleu cheese stuffed olives for your martini! Prime rib was prepared beautifully. Afterwards, go right outside the restaurant for a cigar at the cigar lounge. A great dining experience.

Had the «Carolyn’s cut» Prime Rib. It was a monster for the «smaller cut». Cooked to perfection. Also had a side of brussels sprouts with caramelized onions and bacon. Add a glass of Pinot Noir, perfect. Ate at the bar, service was fantastic. You pay a little more, but what a meal.

A (local) friend chose this spot for dinner. 7 of us gathered, all tried different dishes and all were very happy with our choices. The mac’n’cheese and creamed spinach were amazing and very large — easily can be split between multiple people. The crab stuffed shrimp were delicious. As with all Vegas restaurants, the wine was priced extremely high but the selection vast enough to find a vintage we could enjoy.
Loved all the photos in the hallway of Oscar and the celebs who have been through the area.

Amazing restaurant/​bar. When you walk in you forget that you are in a ghetto part of town. The decorations, furniture, ambience are top notch. Steve The bartender was very helpful telling me the happy hour specials. We ordered the crabcakes and beef sliders, they were delicious. Then Steve gave us helpful information about other bars to hit up in the area. Thank you steve! Every time we go to Las Vegas we are stopping at Oscar’s from now on.

Hands down the best steak I have ever eaten! The feeling is old Vegas. This historical land mark has had many names as a restaurant but the best representation of Vegas and fine dining goes by the name of Oscars. I’ve been wanting to eat here for years. Spontaneously my friend and I decided to dine here this evening. We called around 6 for an 8:30 reservation and they were very accommodating. We had the best seat in the house with a view looking down the Fremont street experience (which is partially blocked by the damn zip line). Our waiter was pleasant and knowledgable. We ordered the NY steak 14oz to share with the sides of Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and asparagus. Our appetizer was the bruschetta. The complimentary bread they serve is so delicious that I really could have gone without the bruschetta to be honest although it was delish.
The steak was the best steak I have ever had. And I have had a lot of steaks. Medium rare, just as God intended steak to be. Crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The seasonings were perfect. Now I am going to have steak dreams! … Get your steak on and just succumb to the slogan of «BEEF, BOOZE, AND BROADS.» And then you might get to meet the famous lawyer and keeper of mob secrets Oscar Goodman himself. I met him tonight too.

What a beautiful restaurant! Here for a wedding reception and had a chance to sit at the bar for apps and drinks.
Attentive service at the bar and the private venue. Amazing food! Prices are expectantly steep but the quality, location and ambiance was worth it!
Had the filet mignon for dinner and it was a bit on the dry side but the flavored were all there. The mashed potatoes were soooo flavorful and asparagus fresh and perfectly cooked.

Though I’ve previously dined at Oscar’s, it was shortly after their grand opening, so it’s been a while. This is strictly for their bar area during happy hour.
Happy hour runs 4 – 7 pm, though it’s a little vague, I had to ask about what it actually included. Was told beer and well drinks were half off. As they had no beer on tap, I went for a house margarita and the other person in my party, after some pondering, went with a Midori sour, served straight up. Midori isn’t a well, so no happy hour pricing, but bar tender didn’t correct us nor did he actually realize it, I overheard his co– worker correct him in a hushed voice later.
We also ordered calimari, which is priced on a menu at $ 8, incredibly reasonable for a nice steak house. The portion is so enormous, we couldn’t finish it. Sadly, however, it totally lacked flavor and seasoning, just lots of heavily breaded, though thankfully well cooked and not over fried fare.
The bill arrived in two separate parts, one for food and one for drinks, sort of unusual. The calimari was actually cheaper than listed on the menu, so I’m guessing there’s some sort of mysterious happy hour pricing involved with appetizers as well.
All of in all– staff is very attentive and friendly, like three people checked on us, décor is nice and the view is great, but no special reason to come back.

Gave this spot a try while staying at the plaza during our Vegas visit. When purchasing show tickets at tix4tonight I mentioned we were staying at the plaza so the girl helping us offered to make a reservation for us and even offered a coupon for the meal. $ 6 bought us 30% off the entire bill.
The view does not disappoint being that it’s at the end of Freemont St and the entire roof is a glass dome giving you a beautiful view of downtown. The staff adds to the elegance of the restaurant and I was pleased with the different options the menu offers. I had the roasted chicken with artichokes and my boyfriend got the filet. The food was good but lacked a little flavor however the onion strings were delicious, the side dishes are definitely portioned for sharing.
With the coupon we saved about $ 22. Not too shabby!

First time here as Oscar’s. Received complimentary appetizers and drinks from our hosts of a business mixer. Very pleased with the quality of the apps– huge crab cakes & even huger sliders that may have been a beef/​lamb mix, just amazing!
The ahi tuna & meatballs were also very good. My gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives paired so well with the food!
The old school vibe and all the photos add to this steakhouse’s appeal!
Great views of Fremont Street are an added bonus!
The big chairs in the bar weren’t at all comfy though they did look nice.

My visit to Oscar’s was my first time in the old town Las Vegas. The restaurant seated us at one of the window seats in their ovular shaped dining room. We were able to gaze out the window at how different everything looked compared to the main Las Vegas Strip. The décor was definitely old school– it felt like I went back into time to the 80’s.
We came here for Prime Rib. We all went with the Bone-​in PRIME RIB Special, and we were not disappointed. The prime rib is HUGE! I shared this with one of my girl friends and we couldn’t even finish. The meat was super tender, juicy, and the crust was nicely seasoned (I love this part of the meat!). There was just the right amount of au jus on the prime rib, and was served with a creamy horseradish sauce. For the size and quality, I’d say this is a great deal!
We shared a few sides as well: Lobster Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Spinach, and Sweet Potato with a Jalapeño Butter sauce. My favorite side was the lobster mashed potatoes, but I wish there were bigger chunks of lobster in it in stead of shredded pieces. The creamed spinach was good, but there was nothing special about it. The sweet potatoes weren’t very tasty. it’s pretty much 3 gigantic sweet potato fries, served with some sweet/​watery sauce. It did not taste like buttery nor jalapeño– I wouldn’t recommend this side.
If you ever visit old town Vegas, be sure to stop by Oscars for some Prime Rib!

Like others have said, Oscar’s is a great place to soak up some old school Vegas. Prepare to be transformed to a swanky décor and classy dining atmosphere. From the jazzy style pianist and singer to the thick white table clothes and well dressed servers. There was even a lady in an old school performer costume walking around asking how people were doing.
The view is great from the main dining area and I absolutely loved the circular window looking over Fremont Street. Our service was great and the food was good too. I wish for the price they would do more than A La Carte but that seemed to be the normal practice at the majority of nice restaurants I dined at while visiting Las Vegas.
I had the 22oz rib eye, mashed potatoes and an Old Fashioned. For a $ 65 steak I wanted the cut of meat, flavor, marbling and all that good stuff to blow me away as much as the presentation…
Presentation — 10
Flavor — 7.5
Either way it was a great meal and an even better experience. Thanks to the cab driver for suggesting it.

Located on Fremont and the heart of downtown, Oscar’s still keeps the old Vegas feel.
The menu is simple and to the point — you’re here for delicious steaks. Sides are a la carte, our table shared sweet potatoes, asparagus and mac & cheese. I had the crab stuffed shrimp as an appy and the ribeye with Oscar sauce (hollandaise with seafood) and both dishes were unbelievable (heavy and rich, but totally worth it)
It can be overwhelming when trying to find somewhere to eat in Vegas because there’s so many places to choose from, but pay the extra money to get a quality food and service like you would at Oscar’s.

Oh Oscar Goodman, I do love you! And now you have your own steakhouse, with the tag line of «Beef, Booze, and Broads», I love you even more!
I finally had the chance to visit Oscar’s on my last trip home. It was a great experience and I loved everything about this place. Here are the highlights:
1. The menu! The menu is full of classic steakhouse fares. They have your fancy steaks, seafood, and lots of tasty sides. What kicks this menu up a notch is that many of the items are named after Vegas big wigs and many known Mafia figures. Gotta love Oscar and his style!
2. Great location! This resturant is located in the Plaza at the head of Fremont street. The resturant is in a big glass dome, so you get some great views of Fremont Street, even if the new zip line blocks some of it these days.
3. Fantastic service! The service here is top notch. From start to finish, we had a great time!
4. Tasty food! On this visit, we had a filet with Oscar topping, the Spilatro steak (named after Tony Spilatro or the guy played by Joe Pesci in the movie Casino), Mac n’ cheese, cream corn brûlée, and the sweet potato fries. The filet Oscar was fabulous! The Spilatro steak, which is a flank steak stuffed with garlic and marinated in garlic and red pepper flakes, was ok. The taste was good, but it was a bit tough, which is normal with flank steak. I don’t think I would order it again, but it was a fun steak to try. The sides were all unbelievably fantastical in taste. Very top notch, in my book.
5. Oscar’s is on OpenTable, so you can make your own reservations and get points for it too!
I would recommend this place to anyone in the mood for tasty food, great service, and who loves Fremont Street. I also would recommend this place because you have a chance of an Oscar siting, which would be awesome to anyone who knows Vegas Mafia history or have watched Casino.
