SC Prime Steakhouse

Really, really good Dinner. I took my Dad here for his birthday. What a lovely view as you walk in and see the view out the window. It’s not much to look at outside, but it just adds to the ambiance. We got there about 5:30pm and the bar area was packed! They had a social hour menu, but I didn’t see what was on it. Judging by the crowd, they must have some amazing specials. I’ll have to come back and check it out. I was surprised and actually happy that an «upscale» restaurant had TV’s, but playoff basketball was on, and so was some good baseball games, so we were happy to be able to watch them as we ate. The service was great. Sean was our waiter and he was very good and attentive, but not overly attentive, which is what we like. There were also several people assisting him with water, bread, food delivery and dish removal. The wine list was very good. Was happy to see Jordan wines on the list. It is very rare, despite the fact they are awesome. The bread basket was a variety of three breads… sourdough, cranberry walnut, and some sort of crunchy flat bread. And they served the bread with regular butter, chive butter, and honey butter. All of the breads and butter was great. I started with the French Onion Soup, which was awesome. The broth was rich and flavorful. The onions were cooked perfectly. The cheese was melted over the top perfectly. My Dad had the spinach salad and he said it was the best he’d ever had. I may get it next time, because it looked good and how much he liked it. I had a small filet for dinner, which was eight ounces. It was cooked perfectly and it had incredible flavor. It came with a mixed vegetable medley which was good too. My Dad had the salmon and he said it was one of the best preparations he’d ever had. It was served on a cedar plank with a dill sauce. He also had a baked potato to go with it. Normally, he does not finish his meal, despite how good it is, but he did last night. He was very impressed as was I. Neither one of us had room for dessert, but we will be back again in the near future. Another very good restaurant choice in the Summerlin area and at the Suncoast.

Amazing dinner!!! Service was epic thanks to are waiter Sean killer service. Great dinner with Mandy and birthday girl Lisa.
Just awesome!

Our visit to SC Prime started on a perfect note at the bar. We were met with a friendly greeting and cocktails that were made by a mixologist that knows his business… best martini I have had in ages. Our friendly greetings continued into the dining room where we had a window table with a view of the strip. Our server was spot on, providing excellent service throughout our entire meal. The wine list is sufficient to satisfy nearly anyone. Our meal was delicious and prepared perfectly. Portions were generous and side dishes are large enough to share. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences we have had in some time… we’ll definitely be back for our next «special» occasion.

The complaints about the service expressed in many of the Unilocal reviews are not reflective of our dinner at this steakhouse. Our server was friendly and attentive. The room is well-​appointed and the floor to ceiling (high ceilings!) windows face east toward the Strip, providing a very nice view from this second floor restaurant. The tables are well-​spaced for quiet conversation.
The food was as good as at any high-​end steakhouse, at a much lower price. The drinks were a generous pour at a reasonable price. My bone-​in rib eye was delicious at $ 40. The crab cake appetizer was huge, and while it isn’t quite what you get in Maryland it was very good.
Like all Boyd hotel /​casinos, the Suncoast caters to locals, which means that it is looking for repeat business. I’ve been to more than one restaurant in a Strip hotel that had an inviting look, but didn’t seem to care about your dining experience once they got you inside; after all, there is another crowd of tourists coming in tomorrow. Not so at the Suncoast. It’s a bit of a trek to get there, if you’re coming from the touristy areas of town, but parking and access is easy.

I had the New York strip and it was delicous. Local spot reasonable priced. Good for large groups.

Dined here in a party of five. Everything was great except the fillets. Complained to the manager and she made everything OK

Had the Thanksgiving dinner option with the turkey main course. All I can say is that the turkey reminded me of a Swanson frozen dinner turkey. I made turkey every year except this year, and of course know the difference. We also order the prawns with angel hair pasta which was way better than the turkey option. The stuffing tasted like stove top stuffing, which is an insult to Stove Top. I’ll never eat Thanksgiving dinner there again.

–Rant—
Let me preface this review with the following statement; My rating and overall sentiment is in aggregate of three (3) different occasions, all of which happened around/​about Thanksgiving of the last three years.
Let’s start with the food… The food is definitely memorable, whether it’s that ultra soft Sea Bass to their excellent Tomahawk Steak, if you want excellent food at a fancy-​restaurant-​reasonable price, this place is your JAM~! And that Lobster Bisque… heavenly. I’ve also had their prime rib, salmon and several appetizers. ALL are high quality w.r.t. preparation and taste, all moderate to large portions depending on what you order (that Tomahawk doh… damn… Couldn’t finish! I’m a wuss… had to tap out… and I NEVER tap out on a good steak…). This sentiment reflects my first and third occasion with this establishment
Service…well last time I was waiting around for about 15 mins or so for my waiter and they just never came? Considering that the section I was in was mostly empty, I found this to be unacceptable. A complaint to the manager wounded up with the server finally coming by, the Manager himself taking time to refill my water and to check on me multiple times throughout the meal, and what seemed to be extra attention from a couple of bus folks. A lot of high quality service despite having to complain. Nonetheless I appreciated the manager’s time and attention. I know he must have been busy and to have spent so much time ensuring my service was top-​notch says a lot about his dedication to providing an excellent experience for the customer.
All things great so far yes? Yes… except that 2^nd occasion when ended I up with a rather SEVERE case of food poisoning. URG. I was bedridden for two days out of my entire 6 day stay at the hotel. I couldn’t MOVE for the first of those two days. Extremely miserable experience. I don’t remember exactly what I ate, I just remember puking it all up after dinner and passing out in the bathtub, hot water spraying down on me, trying not to gag/​hack. Yeah that wasn’t a fun night at all…
I mentioned that this last dining experience with them. It had been about a year so I figure I’d give them another chance to earn their way back from ZERO stars and no review. At least now they get 3!!!
—Overall—
Service: B-​. A reflection of the service really, NOT the management. Management was GREAT! Alas, Service is Service and the manager spent more time tending to me than my waiter…
Food: A. Having to tap out to the Tomahawk Bone In … Excellent
Atmosphere: A. Clean, modern, dimly lit atmosphere; very nice w.r.t. intimate dinner experience.
Value: C. Still difficult to get over the whole severe food poisoning incident last year~

After another wonderful celebration meal in the Private Dining Room last night with the ever amazing Sean leading service, I’m bumping up my stars. Since the Suncoast opened, Primo’s/SC Prime has been a favorite spot of my parents and their pals.
We hosted a party of 10 with pre arranged Veuve on ice to greet the guests and a la carte options available to all. Sean had been our server on numerous occasions and as soon as I saw him I breathed a sigh of relief (and ordered a single malt) a team member of 14 years, give this man a raise!
The outside restaurant was hopping which allowed for a casual dining experience, all guests ordered a la carte though I ordered sides and appetizers for the table. Dessert was served, family style. The Manager made sure that Bell Service was called to help us to the car with gifts and Dad’s walker. Always a pleasure!
**** above was an update review from July 2014****
Last week, we took a party of five, including my Dad, now in a wheelchair, and they again provided exemplary service and food. Sean was patient when my in-​laws were late in traffic from AZ, and we enjoyed yet another celebratory meal at a place we’ve shared many happy memories over the years. Another letter to F & B Director is being sent for the amazing staff, especially Sean, who has now been there 15 years and is a charming, engaging representative of SC Prime, we always request him when reserving.
Hopefully, we will have many more occasions to celebrate over the years, and will always return to delicious food, gracious, caring service in beautiful surroundings.

It is rare that I will return a meal but I got the pork medallions with Portabella mushrooms. What I received looked like they removed the bone from a pork chop, cut it in half then over-​cooked it so much it was chewy and gross. So I choice the steak and shrimp. The steak was inedible! This at steakhouse! I would have sent it back but it wasn’t worth the bother. It was saturated with meat tenderizer and looked like it was on it’s last leg. I never smell my food but I kept smelling this steak. I had one bite then left the rest. I wouldn’t even take it home to feed it to my dogs. The shrimp was over-​cooked so they were chewy. I’ve been to some of the best restaurants in the world; SC Prime is one of the worst.

I was taken here on my 50^th Birthday! The food was delicious, the staff professional, the setting was comforting. It was such a nice surprise to have a very «unhurried» experience in a casino. Very satisfying food.

Hubby took me here for our anniversary!!!
The BEST!!! Filet Minon was so perfectly cooked and tender (melts in your mouth). Oysters in a shell were so fresh and clean. All appetizers were mouthwatering.
Love the ambiance!!! Décor is appealing to me and views from our table was fantastic.
Waiter has pleasing personality and attentive and knowledgeable.
All in all… perfect anniversary dinner!!!
Be back soon, again!!!
Highly recommended!!!

The food is very good (as you would expect for a higher end steakhouse). The décor is beautiful, and there are great views of the city. I have been to this restaurant a few times, and it seems most of their clientele are senior citizens… I am not sure why that is the case… but if your under 40, you may feel a little out of place (I am 53 years old and I was by far the youngest person there).

SC Prime is a must visit!
We have been here many times, and each time the service and food goes above any expectations.
Very quiet, and romantic atmosphere. But the bar is a hot spot for happy hour.
Highly recommend!

The SC prime Steakhouse is a beautiful room on the 2^nd floor of the suncoast. You don’t sit on top of your neighbors. its pretty darn quiet… elegant without feeling stuffy. This should be a 5 star place… but its not. I get the feeling this spot caters to the regular «locals»…and if you are unrecognized… you get ignored. maître d’ here ignored us for the entire evening. and the place wasn’t that crowded. he was seen «schmoozing» what I assumed were regulars all night long. our waiter was OK. attentive at first… hard to find as the evening progressed. Wife had the shrimp scampi. which she enjoyed… my son and I had the prime rib «special».rated it just «OK». Creamed corn was very good. mashed potatoes were lumpy. The food doesn’t live up to the surroundings. Its less than half the price of the fancy strip steak joints so maybe you get what you pay for. Ok. but needs improvement.

My family has ordered a meal for a take-​out a few weeks ago and the portion size was Huge and had many sides. To top it all off, it was cheap! So we decided to eat-​in at the actual restaurant.
Coming in, we were asked to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated. I was alright with the wait because I was with family to pass time. The venue was small, considering that you would need to take a private elevator. Anyway, the reason why I gave this place two stars started when we got the menu. The food is overpriced! The wait for the food was extremely long and the portion sizes were small. We had a coupon specifically for the restaurant from Suncoast, which the servers did not accept! When we left the restaurant, we happen to walk pass a sign that had a huge Special which was Not On The Menu nor did the servers notify us. Two stars for the benefit of the doubt.

Very nice and quiet steakhouse off the strip. I loved how they had a special elevator that led to the actual restaurant. (I got lost, but it’s literally to the right of the casino when you enter.) It really felt like we were entering some kind of secret place. Made reservations and were seated promptly. Our server, Rhonda? was great! She was very attentive and gave really good suggestions. Kept it simple since I was in a rush, got the house salad which was delicious, and the filet mignon which was also pretty good! I didn’t really like the veggies that it came with but oh well. Oh and the cheesecake was excellent!!! Very big o slice too. I could only eat so much since it was so creamy and yummy. All in all a great experience!
Btw, I didn’t ask to be seated by the windows but I could see from where I was sitting that it had a pretty nice view of the city! So if you do come ask to be seated by the window for a more romantic feel.

I have eaten here many times. The food is always excellent and the view is amazing.
The portions are fairly large and so many choices. I love the lobster here. I also here from other guests that I have brought, that the steaks are wonderful.
This is a good place to go and bring a group for a nice elegant dinner where you will not need to take a mortgage to pay the bill. The service is always good and the staff friendly. What more could you want from a locals joint?

On my last trip to Vegas we dined here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. When we lived in Vegas, we would dine here 2 or 3 times a year. It was nice to come back to experience it again. We love the views here and got lucky with a table next to the window. Situated in Summerlin, which is about 10 miles NW of the Strip, you have a great view of the city from here.
I couldn’t wait to order my favorite items on the menu… which they still had:
Wedge Salad (Romaine Lettuce, Maytag Bleu Cheese Dressing, Bacon, Cherry Tomatoes), $ 8
12 oz Filet, $ 38
Side of Potatoes Au Gratin, $ 7
The Lettuce on the Salad was nice and fresh… very crisp and juicy, just the way I like it. I like my Filet cooked between Medium and Medium Well… not too well done… they hit the mark, it was perfect. The side of Potatoes Au Gratin was good, very large portion though… enough for 2 people.
We had a great server who took very good care of us. Our glasses of Wine were never empty… that’s the way it should be.
Overall, it’s a nice place to have a good Steak with friends.

SC is an elegant, high-​end restaurant with great food and excellent service; comfortable ambience. It has nice gigantic pic windows with a view of the strip skyline afar!
LONG VERSION
— This elegant restaurant in Sun Coast Casino Hotel is the former Primo Steak House, located on the 2^nd Fl with elevator access. Upon exiting the elevator, you’ll be greeted by its small charming bar lounge area, and a beautiful view of the Strip Skyline AFAR through its gigantic floor– to-​ceiling picture windows. Its high ceilings, tri-​level dining room setting and the nice view make the dining area elegant and inviting, with a comfortable ambience. The host/​hostess and the friendly wait staff make guests feel welcome.
One evening in early Dec, our dear friends treated us to a memorable dinner here. Our friendly and knowlegeable young waitress, Rhonda, recommended 2 special appetizers, which were not on the menu: (1) Stuffed crabmeat mushrooms with and truffle sauce [$ 16], and (2) Mixed salad of grilled white and green asparagus, grilled artichoke and exotic cheese and sauce, [$ 15]. Both were eye pleasing and absolutely delicious!
For entrees, we had:
(a) 8oz fillet migñon, $ 34, and (b) $ 25 scampi. For extra $ 10 each, the entrée could add 1 lb of Alaskan King crab legs or a lobster tail. Yes, we each added the king crab legs or lobster tail! That was too great a deal to pass up, and they were scrumptious and totally worth of the price! We also polished off a very nice bottle of New Zealand wine ($ 60) with our meal, and it was very smooth and tasty!
Our waitress was very attentive, cheerful AND SMART! She somehow noticed that we were toasting our friends for their 63^rd Anniversary and she later surprised us with a good size complimentary chocolate cake dessert to share! A very nice touch indeed! — Mark of a good waitress and classy restaurant!
We totally enjoyed our dining experience that evening! We used to frequent its predecessor, Primo and liked it, but we really love the new SC Steak House.
When we left the restaurant around 7pm, the dining room was almost full. There were quite a few happy people at the small charming bar as well. We have not tried their happy hour, yet. Our waitress told us that it was excellent and quite popular.
HAPPY HOUR: [see pic of menu].
