Biscayne Steak, Sea and Wine

Fantastic steaks, with a whole set of sauces. Expensive, but worth it.

Stopping by on a Monday night before seeing the «Raiding the Rock Vault» show, Biscayne was virtually empty. The hostess let us seat ourselves in their lounge/​patio area, which is a narrow space outside the restaurant that looks out into the hallway. Not exactly a great atmosphere.
Scallops were artfully plated on a long narrow plate. Three well seared, buttery scallops alternated with criss-​crossed asparagus to give the dish an X’s and O’s look. The Biscayne chop salad was beautifully plated too, with tomatoes, olives, artichokes, red peppers, chick peas and more sitting atop had a head of lettuce. It was great until we found a hair in the salad. Our server tried to laugh it off, but eventually took it off our bill.
With our appetites suddenly gone we stuck with some wines by the glass that were as reasonably priced as any you’ll find at a steakhouse on the Strip.
2.5 Stars

Yeah. Yum. Fun. We walked by here several times as hotel guests. It has «outdoor» seating along the walkway, along with some «indoor» seating behind the doors. All seating, of course, is inside of a hotel, but the patio seating has a nice open feel. Service was excellent. Food was fresh and flavorful. Wine line was very nice. Prices were reasonable. If in the area again, we’d skip the hotel but likely eat here. Recommended.

Food was good, but the service is definitely the star here. A bit overpriced, but it is Las Vegas. My steak was slightly overcooked, but still tasty. They aggressively season everything, but in case it’s not seasoned enough for your liking, there is a trio of finishing salts on the table for your pleasure (hawaiian red salt, black salt, and i think fleur de sel). My waiter, Ken, was super helpful and made me feel right at home while I was dining solo.

Really good spot for dinner if staying at Tropicana. They have a tasting menu $ 49 for 4 courses WITH wine pairings. You have to ask for the tasting menu specifically. Friend got butternut squash soup and said was best he’d ever had. Great service.

Bought tickets from the half price ticket place. Biscayne was 35% off but must present coupon to host and waiter is automatically given 18% gratuity. 1. Steak was overcooked and served cold. 2. Waitress never checked on us or helped with anything (she must have known her 18% was in the bag). 3. I have reason to believe the food given to us was either old or spoiled. My fiancé has been sick in the room since.
Anyways, other patrons had a great 50 $ deal with wine pairings this was excluded from our coupon… They were also given exceptional waitservice because the waiter wasn’t guaranteed any tip…
The restaurant was empty during a dinner hour on a holiday. It should have been our first red flag, will never go to Tropicana or the half price ticket place again due to the scam involved. Beware tourists!!! They will scam you for subpar service and poorly prepared meals. In comparison we goto crab places all the time in Chicago which are even further from a coast that would supply seafood and we are always satisfied or astounded by the quality.

We had dinner there are a couple more times with Marian she is a great server all the support staff very friendly and efficient.
I have a very large steak on a finish it a little pricey but it’s worth it Plus I use Gruponn is even a better deal.
. ps no discrimination for your Gruponn like all the places do.
Will be back will make sure Mariam is our server.

I’m so glad that we purchased the Groupon to try this place because otherwise we would have missed out on a great restaurant. We loved the ambiance, service and food.
Our server was Ken and he was really great, one of the best servers that I’ve had in Las Vegas. He didn’t drop the level of service when he found out we had a Groupon. The cold server we had at Bacio could take a lesson from Ken for sure. Ken made nice conversation with us without lingering.
The bread and nice little spread that comes with it were tasty. We shared one drink and it was well prepared. I liked the amuse bouche that came before the meal, very nice touch. We both started with the Biscayne house salad. I loved the unique combination of flavors-​hearts of palm, crab, grapefruit, tomatoes and topped with a flavorful dressing. I had the prime rib which was prepared just as I requested. My husband thought his steak was well prepared and tender as well. We shared the mashed potato special which was prime rib and they were very good potatoes. For dessert we shared the crème brulees which sounds boring, but were far from. The black currant crème brûlée was delicious and unique.
I’m so glad we discovered this restaurant. We’ll definitely be back!

The food was amazing. I had the chopped salad, the filet Minot with a side of sautéed mushrooms. Everything was excellent. I ended with the deconstructed banana crème pie. With brûlée bananas in a chantilly crème with gram cracker crumble drizzled with chocolate. To die for. So delicious. I will definitely come here again. The wait staff was great and met all my needs.

Where do I begin? We had dinner at Biscayne 3 nights ago and I could not find anything to complain about this place. Food was great, service was awesome and they even have us complimentary birthday and graduation desserts… wow!
We had scallops to start with. They were so good, perfectly cooked. Even my 6yr old loves it. For our entrees, hubby got the 12 oz. wagyu NY steak and I had the 12 oz. prime rib (medium for both). My little one had mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. The steak and prime rib were huge! My daughter and I shared the prime rib and we could only eat half of it. The side dishes were pretty good too.
I read in a couple reviews that they do not offer take out boxes. So there I was, forcing myself to eat as much of the prime rib so as not to waste it and it turned out they did. Ha! Imagine my relief when our waiter, Michael came by to ask if I wanted to take our leftovers home. double ha! Should have asked, I know, but I trusted the experience of fellow Unilocalers.
The prices are a bit high but can’t complain with a groupon. Will definitely keep an eye for other specials on Biscayne.
One more thing, I wish they did not add an 18% gratuity on the bill. We had a wonderful experience but It would not be fair to others who did not have the same experience.

I’ve walked past this restaurant about 100 times in the last couple of years. We always stay at the Trop (I get a great rate) and since it was our anniversary the day after Memorial Day, we decided to eat here. Also, a groupon came up with an additional 20% off. So, I ended up paying 58.00 for 118.00 worth of food. Let me tell you, my bill was EXACTLY 118.00. Not sure how I pulled that off.
The groupon said that it was for 2 salads and 2 entrees worth 44.00 each. When we sat down, the server Ken said that we had 118.00 to spend, we didnt have to spend it that way. That was a lot better for me because my spouse and I usually share a salad.
So, first up the bread. NOT A FAN. It was sliced and toasted. Made me wonder if the bread was leftover from the night before and they just toasted it to freshen it up. Toast is for breakfast! They did give us a tomato concasse, but we passed on that because we’re not fans of raw tomatoes. We asked for butter and it was hard as a rock. Not cool with that either. They could have at least softened it up a bit.
My spouse wasnt feeling salad, so I had a bowl of the shrimp/​clam chowder.(13.00). It was really tasty, lots of big shrimp, but the flavor was definitely more clam than shrimp. Here is the thing, because I’ve had weight loss surgery and can’t eat that much, I ate a few spoons and wanted to take the rest home. Nope, they have no To Go containers. Seriously? I feel like every single restaurant should have To Go containers. I asked Ken to ask the bartender for a cup and I’d throw some tin foil over it. Yep, I bring tin foil on my trips. You never know when you’ll need some.
I had the scallops and my wife had the sterling silver 8oz filet. They asked her if they could butterfly it, I suppose because she ordered it medium well.
We split a ginormous baked potato (10.00). We actually only shared half so we took the other half home. It came with all the fixings, butter, sour cream, chives, bacon and cheese.
Both entrees came with a tiny (about ¼c) side of fresh corn and edamame.
For dessert we got the Key Lime tart and the deconstructed banana cream pie. Both of those were just FAIR. The banana cream pie was basically whipped cream, roasted bananas, a little sprinkling of some type of crumbs and some choc. sauce. It needed a custard for sure. The key lime pie was so frozen pie with an artificial green color. The filling was too hard to enjoy the flavor. We also asked about the ice creams/​sorbets and was told they were not homemade. Seriously? If you’re going to charge 10.00 for ice cream, it should be homemade.
The entire meal I was seeing everyone get an amuse bouche except us. When the bill came, it was on the check that we received it. I told Ken that we did not. He was going to give it to us, but that was kinda strange so I said NO. I also mentioned that it was our anniversary when I made the reservation on Open Table. It was never acknowledged any way what so ever.
The service was ok, not overly attentive. Maybe because we werent drinking? I dont know. I’ve had much better service at R Steak and Seafood (sadly gone) and Envy steakhouse.
They also ad a required 18% service charge on the 118.00. I don’t think the server deserved 18%, but you’re stuck.
Final thoughts.
Only eat here if you can get the Groupon for 58.00.

Ok… I came in her on Monday, What a damn disaster! 1 star and was NOT HAPPY! The front desk told me it was happy hour from 5−8… But really cocktails are from 5 to 7 and they have a small plates menu during that time. I got the crabcakes, see the picture, which was incredibly small for $ 18! I was not happy with my $ 35 bill buy one get one free wine and ONE CRABCAKE! So I came back, as a glutton for punishment, having to stay here for a week for business. I wanted to take advantage of the only happy hour spot in the hotel casino AND get work done. I came across the most wonderful server Natalie! She helped me get on the «unusable WIFI» helped me with the wine recommendation, by asking her manager to come help me. I was so disappointed from the night before I just couldn’t bare the thought of ingesting bad wine for two nights in a row! Lol. He offered me a ZIN, which I loved!!! And then brought another tasting of his favorite :) super nice guy! I will tell you the 14.00 ZIN Is worth every penny at 50% off AND!!! The eggplant lamb taco!!! FORGET ABOUT IT!!! for 5.00 that is the BEST THING I HAVE HAD IN YEARS!!! The taco part is a super thin dipped and crumb breaded eggplant with a big fat lump, NOT shredded, hunk of lamb! Oh my god! It was Perfectly done and perfectly favored. Not super gammie and not in need of a bunch of cover up! With a little goat cheese and some mango chutney… And the ZIN!!! I think I have died and gone to heaven! Thank you!!! From 1 star to 4!!! I love this place! Just stay in the lounge… NOT THE BAR! Hopefully I learned the trick and tip for this spot and continue to reap the fruits of this hotel/​casino!

This is a great place. My family decided to have steak and seafood at 4 pm and we called around looking for a place that could get us in. This was the first place that had an opening (reservation). We arrived and were immediately were seated. The table was nice with three different salts (do try the salts, they are good). The callimari was good but different. It was not fried but was served in a soup with olives and raisins, I was good but I wasn’t sure what to do with the broth/​soup. I had the prime rob while my wife had the halibut. Both were excellent. Our server was Dave and he was not only helpful but also entertaining.
I would recommend this place to anyone.

Wouldn’t come here without a Groupon. Location wise, it’s this weird strip upstairs above the Player’s Club.
Service was outstanding, but the actual food?
The steak was disappointing. Overpriced for this quality. My boyfriend and I both ordered steak (He ordered Kobe Beef, I ordered Texas Wagyu), and it was bland and just failed to meet our expectations. Also the meat was overly fatty.
The House salad was nothing special. I’ve definitely had better salads. ³⁄₅.
We also ordered the Pan seared scallops. They melted in your mouth with the perfect amount of seasoning. Wow, it was so good. ⁵⁄₅.
I ended up not eating my texas wagyu steak. I got it to-​go to bring home because I didn’t want to waste it after paying $ 50 for it, but I ended up throwing the whole thing away after I got home.
I’m not sure how a restaurant at this price point wasn’t able to deliver really good steak. The steak was forgettable, but my experience wasn’t! We saw Bill Gates eating across from us, so I guess I’m happy I ate here :) Top notch service here, but the food is average at best.
The Groupon made the price a lot better, but if I came here without a Groupon, I probably would’ve bumped this down to 2.5 or 2 stars.

Wow. Hidden treasure! Was here on a guys trip during March Madness. Stayed at MGM. Couldn’t get reservations at other steakhouses, stumbled upon Biscayne Steak and Seafood inside the Tropicana. Great prime rib! Came out rare as ordered. Wasn’t busy on a Saturday night but well priced! Recommended.

Excellent from start to finish. Came here for the first time use in groupon and found impeccable service and outstanding food.
Starting with the house salads, the food was imaginative and expertly cooked. The wine list is well laid out in an I pad format. Only complaint was no paper wine list.
Both of us had seafood, large portions and delicious.
Try the jack daniels desert, it should be illegal.
Definitely will be back when wanting to splurge.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The wait-​staff here is top notch, through and through. We made a reservation and were seated on-​time, and in a great spot by the window. Someone came over to inquire about water preferences, and came back promptly with them. Our waiter, Alex, shared the iPad wine list with us; I didn’t see Moscato by the glass, inquired, and he was able to make it happen (his choice was great too, one of the best Moscato’s I’ve had). We placed our order, with a few customizations, and all were fulfilled perfectly.
Ambiance — It’s a nice looking place. Not too fancy, not too casual. It’s a bit of an odd location, between the conference center and the players club, but we had a nice view of the pool deck below.
Service — As mentioned above, the entire wait-​staff was spectacular. Our drinks were kept topped off, our waiter made great recommendations, we devoured the bread and they brought more for us. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience.
Quantity — Ideal portion sizes on everything. We both ordered different steak options, and were pleased. We split the fingerling potatoes, and there was more than we could finish.
Quality — Quality was good on all items. Perfect choice of wine (Moscato) made by our waiter; both our steaks were delicious (mine was a tad undercooked for my liking, but not so much that I didn’t still enjoy it); my wife had her steak well-​done, and the chef prepared it expertly, as it was still tender. The bread with aioli spread was delicious!
Value — The only thing that kept this from being a 5-​star review. Not that this place was over-​priced, as everything was pretty spot-​on (all the above categories); if the prices were a tad less expensive, I would make this a «must visit» location every time I was in town. $ 45 for a high-​end steak is not unreasonable (for special occasions), but a bit more than my wallet can handle with any frequency!
Overall — We both really enjoyed the meal, and have made a mental note to come back next time we’re «in town». We enjoyed every course/​dish, and the service was spectacular. If you’re in the area before a show, I’d recommend giving them a try.

A great place in the Tropicana to have dinner for a special occasion. I was impressed with the décor and atmosphere in this restaurant. The staff was nice and the waiters wear an old school uniform (I love that stuff). This Restaurant is owned by the Hotel so comps do work here, and if you have a players card you can get a couple bucks off your meal.
The Grub:
For Apps we enjoyed the seared scallops. Probably the Best scallops I’ve had in a long time. They were very tender and very big.
For Entrees I got the Surf and Turf. For the Turf, the menu has it as the ‘Sterling Silver’ 8oz Fillet Mignon but I called an audible with the waiter and asked for the ‘Texas Wagyu «8oz Fillet Mignon. Whenever I see Wagyu on the menu I always set my sights for it. I’m glad I did because it was incredible, but the lobster was just okay. I was also able to try some of the prime rib which was also very good.
For Sides we got the mushrooms and the entrees came with some corn. The table had 3 different kinds of salt presented on a large piece of tree branch. I put some of the black salt in the corn and it was amazing!

My wife and I needed to eat dinner quickly before heading to a show at Monte Carlo on Dec 6, 2014. We were staying at the Tropicana, I found a Groupon for Biscayne ($ 72 for a Groupon that covers $ 118 worth of food), and they were on OpenTable for a last minute reservation.
Our server, Alex, was a little slow to arrive at our table due to the needs of other tables, so someone else came and got our drink orders and table bread while we were waiting. Once Alex was there, we couldn’t have asked for a more attentive or helpful server. We told him we were in a hurry, so he put our order in right away. He was also happy to oblige when I asked him to bring the check as soon as our food came out, so we would be ready to leave when we were done eating.
Our drinks were refilled promptly, Alex checked on us before our dinners were out to tell us they would be out in a couple minutes (he knew we were in a rush), and kept to his word and delivered them 2 minutes later. We both got the Biscayne Signature Chopped Salad, which I loved — my wife thought it was a bit light on poached shrimp and crab meat, though. I got the 18oz Rib Eye, and it was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of marbling for my tastes (I like the fat, but not when there’s a lot of it). My wife got the small order of King Crab Legs (they have a 1lb order, and a ½lb order). The meat was very good, and she felt like there was enough there to satisfy her. I think if I had ordered it, though, I would’ve been reaching for more bread after finishing my entrée.
4 stars could’ve been 5 if the prices were a bit lower. The Groupon made the price right about what I would normally expect to pay for the meal we ate — $ 100 or so after tip (no alcohol) for two of us.

Came here with some visiting family and was subsequently underwhelmed. We got:
–Sushi appetizer
–The day’s special which was a Texas Wagyu New York Strip
— Seafood pasta.
I also had a Sazerac cocktail which was also underwhelming. The drink was heavy on the absinthe, overpowering the rye. The sushi could have been more fresh and the rice in the rolls and nigiri was rock hard leaving me to believe it was premade and stored in a fridge.
As for the entrees, I would like to believe that I’ve had at at least enough Wagyu to have a decent handle on it. The steak we had was probably the toughest Wagyu I have ever had. It was cooked at a good medium rare which I prefer but I definitely feel like it should have been more tender. The cut also seemed less then ideal.
The seafood pasta was not as bad. The scallops were good, shrimp was also big and tender. However the lobster tail was way overcooked and super tough.
For the price point and considering this is a city that has so many good places to eat, I cannot justify ever coming back and cannot in good conscience recommend it.
