Tender Steakhouse Lounge

The food is overpriced and seems to be at a level of a much lower price point restaurant.

This place looks amazing! It’s upscale and appears like you are in for a nice experience. The menu looks as an upscale steakhouse should. But I couldn’t help but feel disappointed when I left. I ordered the $120 surf and turf and it came out room temp at best. I ordered a side of mushrooms which were warmer than the steak and lobster and were delicious btw. They are stingy with the free bread which feels a bit ridiculous ? and I’m a sucker for wine and the waiter couldn’t spare a minute from doting on a table full of women to check and see how the steaks were cooked or if we needed anything when our food arrived, which I would’ve loved another round ?. Would not recommend unless you have free money to spend here (you know what I mean , there are better places near that are worth the money and at least act like they appreciate you. *also not a big deal but when I made the reservation I made a note that we had a birthday (mine no one acknowledged or asked. So kinda bleh about that too. We were down on Fremont having $13.99 steak and lobster the night before, waited 45 minutes, got our food fast, hot and cooked properly with a very attentive waiter. So just disappointing that this experience missed such an easy mark.

Overlooked gem of the South strip. Buried in the basement of Luxor, TENDER is a surprising find. Atmosphere of dark wood paneling and classic green faux leather seating in wrap around booths with slightly dim lighting make for a quiet and upscale feel. Prix Fixe 3 course menu is the way to go. Course by course: bread is nothing super special, save the space for the meal. Caesar salad is a generous yet appropriate portion. The lemon zest is a refreshing addition. House wine Pinot Grigio gets the job done for $10. It's not a fine wine but it is better than offered at most wedding receptions. Filets are accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus with a chimichurri sauce. Potatoes and asparagus are perfectly prepared, the chimichurri sauce is a nice addition. Filet is larger than expected coming in at 7 to 8 ounces. Ordered medium and it was slightly charred on the outside and soft red to pink on the inside. Flavor is good, I would opt for a slightly smaller portion in exchange for a bit higher quality, but at the price, you will not find better on the Strip. Creme brulee closed out the meal, sourced base yet we'll toasted, not special but flavorful nonetheless. Service is the most attentive as any restaurant. I will argue it is more attentive than St. Elmo. I said what I said and I stand by it. Water porter didn't allow a glass to get less than 2/3 full before he would refill. Manager made 4-5 rounds throughout the meal service. Server himself was very attentive and professional, checking in multiple times. For the price, TENDER is as good as it gets and better than some options at higher prices. Parking: Paid parking rear of casino Kid-friendliness: Not the best option for kids

This place is bomb 4.87/5 Obviously it's pricey, but that's fine dining. Highly recommend.

Had three great steaks (2 filet, 1 NY strip) w bearnaise and 2 sides. No complaints.
