Only two stars due to everything but the food. Service was sloppy in that our waitress forgot to bring drinks, extra plates. The iPad drink menu is awful to navigate (note to all MGM-Mirage restaurants: get better menu software!!!) and was not up-to-date re: the availability of wines and beers. The bartenders didn't really know anything about where things came from. The specialty cocktail I had was nothing special: much better mixologist out there. Food was well prepared. My chicken fried game hen was hot from the fryer, full of flavor, and not dried out, which could be easy to do with such a small bird. We had a side of the tater tots which were quite tasty, as was the side of zucchini sautÃ©. The burger was nice, but, nothing extraordinary. Top it off, they ran out of the dessert we wanted (and this was an early dinner). I've eaten at Moonen's seafood place downstairs before and had a great meal there. I expected more, and if they don't get their act together, can't see this place lasting long (pretty empty restaurant when we were there).

One of the best dining experiences we have had in Vegas! Everything from the unique design of the restaurant to the attentive staff to the delicious food was excellent. First, I must thank our terrific waitress, Marcella! She was a big reason why our experience was so fantastic. She was polite, funny and engaging. She gave us a tour of the restaurant, encouraged us to take as many photos as we wanted and made sure our meal was as memorable as could be. She never missed a beat and made us feel incredibly welcomed and important as diners. Job well done. The food was simply incredible. We tried the chicken pot pie bites. The fried fritters contained a thick chicken broth, peas, and seasonings and were out of this world. We also tried the guacamole and duck fat chips. I don't normally like guacamole but I found myself going back to it constantly. For the entrees, my wife had the Peking duck lettuce wraps which contained perfectly cooked duck confit, and I had the basket of fried game hen. Marcella eased my concerns about trying game hen for the first time and I'm glad she did. It was delicious. For dessert, we had the cookies (10 freshly baked cookies!) and milk and the Pie Americana. The sweet personal message Marcella had written in chocolate on our plate was a great ending to this experience. If you're in Vegas, definitely dine at Rx!

Excellent drinks that challenge The Vesper and Laundry Room (if you know anything about Vegas cocktail bars then you know what I'm talking about). Food was definitely on the original side with great balanced flavours.

So much fun. The food was great, the ambiance was fabulous, the service was fantastic. Our server, Tyler, was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations--and he also seemed to really enjoy his job, which is always a bonus. The table side-mixed cocktails were delicious, and we adored our personal bartender, but of course I've forgotten her name. You simply must try the "bacon fried bacon" appetizer, even if, like me, that didn't sound appealing at all to you. It is not the greasy salty mess you might expect. It is just a mouthful of wonderful. We enjoyed the cocktails (The Fleur de lis was our favorite) and the appetizers a little more than the entrees, but that is probably due mostly to the fun factor. The crab-stuffed chicken special was presented beautifully but let's face it... it was still chicken. It was our least favorite. The buffalo burger is full of flavor and big enough to share; the tater tots are just too sinful for words. And I am not a tater tot fan. That's how much I trusted Tyler. Keep this in mind as an option if you're going to a show over at the MGM Grand Garden. Instead of dealing with the mess of the MGM, we parked at Mandalay and had our pre-show "party" here, then headed over for the concert. It's a quick cab ride if you're really in a rush (which we were), or an easy walk--especially if you utilize the tram from MB to Excaliber, then cross over.

Get the bone in filet and the Mac and cheese. The filet was s bit salty though. The sorbet dessert is pretty.

The drinks are a amazing when made right although the bar staff is lacking in the experience department she had to make my drink twice. We didn't eat any of the food but we plan on coming back soon to do so

We had a great time here on a recent trip to Vegas. One of the best meals we've had. The cocktails were great and the fried game hen was amazing.

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a drink before our reservations downstairs and we both fell in love the with it. A sexy, industrial vibe mixed in with a splash of Rat Pack old school class. The service was very fun and interactive. We watched bartenders put on a show making creative wacky drinks including one that had smoked burbon in a glass skull. The food was great! We shared a bunch of small plates including the chicken pot pie nuggets (my favorite), the bacon-n-egg, the tater tots and the crispy fried game hen. Here is where the evening went from great to spectacular. After we finished our array of amazing food we still wanted something small to eat, so we started talking to the bartender. He said there was a special of that Rick Moonen was making for the evening of oysters with cucumber spheres created with molecular gastronomy. Now, I am always up for trying new things and am intrigued with the blending of science and food so we ordered them. Then about ten minutes later they were hand delivered by Rick Moonen himself! What a treat, we talked to him about his Top Chef Masters appearance and told him we were fans. Then he and the bartender created a custom gin drink to go along with the oysters. I have never liked gin or oysters but they were both unforgettable. The oysters were buttery and smooth with no fishy taste at all. The drink was spicy and floral and complimented the oysters just perfectly. Just goes to show that a great chef can elevate any food to be out of this world. Thank you Rx Boiler Room and Rick Moonen for creating a one-of-a-kind experience that we will never forget!!

We ate here on a whim and it was the best decision ever. My wife and I shared 3 different appetizers and they were all great, however, the chicken pot pie nuggets were outstanding! Service was top notch and our waitress even showed us around the kitchen area after we ate. We didn't get the table side drink service but it looked cool. Will do it for sure next time.

Loved it! They took great care of us (group of 7). One of the meals came out after everyone else's meal, so they did the right thing and immediately told us that they would take it off of the bill. The decor is fun, service great, and the food is yummy. The small plates are, indeed, quite small, but the burgers are hearty and delicious, and the charcuterie and cheese platters are generous.

Unusual but very nice restaurant in the Mandalay Bay hotel. Starters served in a tapas style - the fat duck chips (that's crisps for us Brits) with guacamole was excellent. I had a shellfish shepherd's pie which sounds like a but of an oxymoron but was also very good. No room for deserts so moved on then!

I really wanted to like this place; when my travel companions and I heard about it we were excited to check it out, but unfortunately we all left underwhelmed. First, the pros: the service was pretty good - slow at times, but attentive and friendly, and the chef stopped by our table to make sure everything was going well. They seem eager to get feedback, which is a big part of the reason I'm leaving a review. The drinks (we went late and only for cocktails) were also creative and pretty good (more on the safe side than really daring, but we certainly enjoyed them). I won't be commenting at all on food except to say that we'd already had dinner and were stuffed, but there were a few things I saw on the menu that I would've loved to try. I was tickled to see milk and fresh-baked cookies on there; it's a fantastic idea I haven't seen before. But here's the thing: My friends and I are used to high-end cocktail bars/restaurants in Chicago like the Barrelhouse Flat and Gilt Bar, and we all felt that as far as theming goes, this place could have taken some a page out of the rustic industrial stylebook that's very popular right now in other cities. (And being as we all work in the video games or costuming industries, we would have liked to see a little more real Victorian flavor instead of the corset-and-goggles stuff that fans of the genre tend to hate.) Things like decorating with real vintage glassware (which is readily available) instead of brand new lab glass and playing music that's a bit more classic than Icona Pop (doesn't have to be Victorian... some Ink Spots or even Johnny Cash would do just fine) would take the gimmick and turn it into real atmosphere. And we understand that it's Vegas, but the uniforms felt pretty Halloweeny. There were a lot of nice touches to the decor (loved the furniture and especially the antique piano), but it could definitely use a few tweaks; there were just certain things that were conspicuously out of place and very distracting. The prices were the other thing that left us balking. We expect to pay a lot for cocktails in Vegas, even compared to cities like Chicago and NYC, but one of our friends received a sixteen dollar drink that came in a rocks glass and was literally more crushed ice than liquid, a problem that I've never encountered at a good cocktail bar. The other cocktails were fine, but when my wife ordered a hot earl grey tea, it turned out to be SEVEN dollars, and thus the bill for us for two cocktails, an iced tea, and a hot tea turned out to be fifty bucks. We regularly spend twice that much at bars, and we'd just had dinner at Joel Robuchon the night before and paid twenty dollars for water; we're not cheap and we generally know what we're getting into. But seven dollars for hot tea is just absurd in a place like this - and the 4.50 for the glass of iced tea was already pushing it. It is NOT the prices overall that are the problem; the food menu looked pretty standard and the cocktail and beer prices were all right for the market. But gouging people on little things like non-alcoholic beverages is a good way to annoy them and leave them with a sour taste in their mouths. We come to Vegas every year and love it, but we'd also love to see the Strip gain some more restaurants and lounges that are original and focus more on real atmosphere than Disneyland-style gimmicks and bartenders who are more looks than know-how. This place is brand new and could easily work out some kinks and be really great. I'm pretty sure that experiencing the food could easily have changed our opinion for the better, but as a lounge we did find it lacking.

Once again my stomach got in the way of taking useful pics- i promise next time i will :) Anyway, visited boiler room sunday night for dinner with the family based on recommendations from friends. The table shared the charcuterie (sp?) board for an appetizer and it didnt disappoint. I cant quite remember which four meats were included but they were all yummy, especially the ham-melted in my mouth! A small jar of pickled veggies was included and i enjoyed them as well. For main course, our two children (ages 8 and 2) each got the macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese was not neccessarily kid friendly (meaning it didnt come from a blue box) but it was tasty, made with a combo of cheeses and served in a little crock. My girlfriend and her father ordered the sturgeon and i have to admit i was a little jealous when it arrived at the table-the presentation was beautiful. I did not taste but am told that it was really good and my daughter made a few bites of it disappear so fast we were looking around thinking she had dropped it. My gf's brother had some lobster bolognese (cant remember the name, sorry!) which looked good but i did not taste. His wife ordered the skirt steak- YUM. Very tasty, fairly large portion, good choice. She did remark that it was odd no starch was included on the plate but i dont think a lack of potatos is a deal breaker. And finally, i ordered the shrimp and grits. My original thought was to order the squid-e-o's but i chose this dish in case my daughter wasnt happy with her food as she loves shrimp. I wish i had stayed with my first choice. Not because the food wasnt good, i had never really had grits before and they were tasty. And shrimp is shrimp, hard to mess it up. In fact, my food was very good, BUT i can not stop thinking about "what could have been". Sounds silly, but i really was looking forward to trying the squid-e-o's, so much so that we may have to make a special trip just to try it. All in all it was a good dinner. I had heard so much about the menu and was looking forward to tasting all of these dishes but unfortunately we didnt get too many of them tasted. Wil be definitely returning with our eyes toward the appetizer section and some shared plates.

The food is good but a little pricey for what you get. "Small Bites" are just that, very small. Service was friendly but slow (even on a very slow night). The restaurant is Steam Punk themed but there's something about it that just didn't work for me. I think they might trying too hard with their ambiance. It's feels like a Disney version of steam punk. The restaurant was empty when we were there and we though it might be just a slow night in the area. However, other restaurants in the area (Hussong's, Burger Bar, Ri RA) were packed. We didn't feel a need to come back to this place in the future.

So I found RX Boiler Room here after looking around for somewhere to have a large dinner for my husbands 50th. I shot an email to website cause I knew we were having about 20 for a dinner and figured as per website that over 20 I should definitely make a reservation. Took about a week to get back , cause apparently the "large group/ special events director" had vacated the position. Which is no worries cause,I'm not looking for crazy service just a large table and to let them know they we are loud and tend drink ALOT . ( Never bad for a restaurant) Got 2 calls within a day , and a weird email with a the "banquet/ special events menu" . Yes it is my hubby's birthday, but AGAIN looking to do dinner not a friggin wedding reception. And for another 2 WEEKS dragged along asking about possibility of a private room ( due to potential loudness and comfort of other clients) and being pushed towards having what only reminds me of picking my menu for my wedding . Come to 1 week before , and after 5 days of NO response , here's the deal ... Dinner has been pushed 1.5 hrs later , But they will serve us in a private room , as long as we can guarantee we'll spend $1500. Needless to say , couldn't give a crap if the food is good. Customer service from get go is ABOMINABLE. save your $ there are to many people who know what the hell they are doing in Vegas.

Quite a disappointment - not at all to the quality of RM Seafood. Shrimp and Grits was watery and sausage tasted store bought. The peach cobbler had scant canned peaches, what tasted like store bought commercial ice cream with powdered cinnamon dumped on top. Service was attentive and professional but, as noted above, a big disappointment, price and the whole experience felt like it was done to a budget rather than a standard of quality. Best to avoid.

Only reason for 2 stars is service. Food is over priced - even for Vegas. The cocktails are good but the descriptions are a little exaggerated. The portions are pretty small. Pork tacos were good but otherwise not with the money. Servers were good tho.

My girlfriend and I decided to check this place out after a meal at rm seafood. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and we had a great conversation with Rick Moonen himself! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Vegas.

This place is awesome!!! The theme is really unique and fun! Everything on the menu is unlike anything I've had. I love how the kitchen is all clear glass and the recipes are all original! The rocky road is AMAZING!! ( I ordered two!!)

First thing to note: I sent the restaurant a pm on their Facebook page and got no response, so now I'll review publicly. My husband and I went there for our first wedding anniversary dinner. Drinks, apps, and food were good. Service seemed not quite up to par for Las Vegas. - our booth was super bright - the light fixture was right in my face, after apps came, we noticed a dial on the wall and adjusted our own lighting, would have been a nice thing for the server to pay attention to and offer to adjust. -I wasn't sold on the steam punk theme, could be even better/more over the top -waitstaff kept spilling water everywhere trying to refill our glasses. Get them pitchers they can actually pour water out of and not dump all over the table. - my seafood shepherd's pie had a lifetime supply of mashed potatoes on top and they weren't great mashed potatoes. I scraped off more than half and left on the plate, I didn't want to fill up on potatoes when there was great crab and lobster below. -DESSERT (which no other reviewers seem to have ordered) was horrible. First we ordered the cookies and milk, the menu would make you think that you would receive warm fresh baked cookies, not the case. These cookies were awful, almost tasted like they were gluten free, I would have preferred chips ahoy and nutter butters. The waiter asked if something was wrong with the dessert, and we said "these cookies are terrible" so he suggested we choose something else, we went with our second choice Rocky Road pudding. That was also terrible, if I wanted instant pudding, I'd whip up the stuff I have in my pantry at home. We saw the chef walking around, but he did not come speak to us, and after we sent food back - you'd think he'd stop by and see what they could do differently. Next time, I would probably go back to Rx for quick drinks/bar apps, and RM for dinner (they have great food AND desserts downstairs)

what a unique concept! service was awesome fourth day open and the staff was very well educated on the food and drinks. the drink were very original and great tasting! if you come for dinner you have to try the potpie nuggets, Mac n cheese and the skirt steak- but don't forget to save room for dessert you won't be disappointed I promise! can't wait to go back :-)

I was wondering how celebrity chef Rick Moonen's new concept at Mandalay Bay was going to be set up and I must say.....Very impressed. The decor and friendly staff sweep you off your feet immediatley. The cocktails here are second to none (This includes Vesper bar at Cosmo and the local watering hole Herbs and Rye). The food was AMAZING. The pot pie nuggets and ox tail croquettes with citrus aioli were mouth watering and super hot, but the fried cornish game hen and Mac 'n' cheese with pin wheel pasta left me craving this nightly ever since. Truly a very superb restaurant and fantastic after hours lounge.

Very disappointed with my visit. My fish was undercooked, so they told me they would send out an appetizer to make up for it. As we were already finished with our entrees, I said no thanks. They then proceeded to tell me that they were sending out some bacon wrapped quail eggs. I proceeded to tell him that I do not eat pork (moral and health reasons) and to please send a dessert instead of an appetizer as we were all finished. They then proceeded to send the bacon wrapped item that I could not eat (even though I was the only one still moderately hungry). Worst service recovery ever. It would have been better for them to either wave the meal or even just say sorry.

Different! That's the way I would describe it. But different in a good way. We only stopped in for a nightcap, but could see that it is a fun place, with a different vibe. We enjoyed the staff and the drinks. I had a smoked Jack and Coke. Yummy. It came in a glass skull. Really cool.

Great decor (dark and ornate, with a bit of a steampunk theme to it), brilliant cocktails, and extremely tasty food. Best tater tots in the southwest. Not that I've had too many upscale tots to compare them to. Nevertheless, they rocked my mouth-world. There was only one thing I didn't like about this place: the server tried to up-sell me a side dish, claiming that everything was a la carte; this was not at all accurate. My veal cheeks came with a perfect portion of potatoes and veggies. Maybe SOME entrees lacked sides, but mine was not one of them. Unless that server's primary ambition is to make the world a fatter place, I think he might be better suited to the sale of used cars.

Let me start this by saying that my party came here during restaurant week and the one thing I have learned over the years is every restaurant has their best foot forward during this time. With that in mind... The food was outstanding, we did not have the prefix menu that was offered, but rather chose to order from the regular menu. The service was amazing and our drinks were never empty. I am worried that on a Saturday night we did not need any reservations and were able to walk right in. (hope they make it) This should be a must stop for every local...

Great meal, even better service. My wife and I came here before going to a concert and it was amazing. We had appetizers of the pot pie nuggets (gotta try!) and fondue. We then followed with the filet and the braised short rib which was fantastic. Finishing up the night we did cocktails. The smoked whiskey and coke comes in a crystal skull and a story to boot. We were not fans of the negroni, but we told our waiter "Freddy" that we didn't like it and he immediately replaced it no charge with a delicious barrel aged bourbon. Come check out the boiler room, you will not be disappointed!

The filet mignon and short rib were fantastic. Appetizers included cheese fondue and pot pie nuggets--amazing! Our server, Freddie, quickly changed out one of our drinks when we weren't happy with it. We were very happy!

Alise S.

Loved the ambiance. Staff was so friendly and helpful. We ordered a special, grill cheese with spare ribs, apple slices and cheese, SO GOOD. Also had some tater tots and calamari with meatballs or "squidos". Pot pie nuggets were good but not our very favorite. They were also really cool with us bringing in our daughter, age 4. We got there around 5pm and wasn't busy yet. No kids menu but she got to play with the IPAD menu which was funny because we don't have an IPAD. Big thanks to the staff for the delicious food on my 40th. Thanks to our servers for chatting so sweetly to our 4 year old:)

You should go here. You should eat anything and everything you can get your hands on. I recommend the Duck wraps and the house made pickles. The "water guy" is amazing. And the service is impeccable.

Not too impressed really, but not disgusted to warrant anything less than a 2 star review. Came here with the hubby after walking the strip. We were seated immediately. Server was nice and took our orders. Food was ok but not phenomenal. Had the braised oxtail for an appetizer. It was ok, the lemon aioli with it was pretty good. He had the dry aged burger with cheddar. Husband said the burger would have been good had the cheese not been so sharp. I ordered the shrimp and grits. It was delicious to be quite honest--but good God for the price I was expecting a larger portion! I realize I'm in Vegas. Got it. But seriously the portion size could have been larger than what I received, which was in a small skillet. If you guys are reading this, please increase the serving size! Other than that, I recommend this place. The food was ok but not mind blowing.

Christine C.

Unique food, great service and loved the ambiance!! My husband had the shrimp pasta and some of the pasta was even died black with squid ink. They make their own pasta and everything was fresh! I loved the variety of the menu and watching the other dishes brought out made you want to return to try them out.

Elaine S.

A very cool vibe... I am not quite sure how I would explain it but it is very relaxed chill but not too casual. I ordered that crazy smoked cola drink. It is the coolest thing to watch how they make it. My hubs had the milk and cookies. The bartender was very cool and explained us all about the drink I had ordered and gave us a few other recommendations of things to try at the restaurant. We only stopped for a drink (and cookies!!) but their presentations seem awesome... someone next to us ordered the coolest hummus plate I had ever seen. Plus I their food is outside the box when it comes to creativity. I liked it. I wish we had more time to come back and try more of their stuff. There is always our next trip!! :)

I went here on a recommendation to drink cocktails made by the hands of one Eric Smith. I sat down at the bar and requested Eric who was introduced to me and I was immediately passed down to who, I am assuming, is his second in command. She was very lovely and definitely said all the right things but I really feel like she was a pretty face reciting from memory what she had been taught with no true love of the craft. I even caught her in the "My favorite cocktail to make is the (insert most expensive cocktail on the menu here)" trick. So I thought to myself, "Well okay maybe Eric was a little too busy and will make my next one?". Nope. Still got the same bartender. So I thought to myself, "For my next cocktail I will specifically ask (again) for Eric." Unfortunately he was not around so I bailed. As far as the cocktails go.. My first was the Gebroni Negroni. I am a big fan of negronis so when I saw all of the ingredients they crammed into this one, I basically just wanted to try it to tell them how much is sucked. It was actually not that bad. It might have been slightly syrupy and just a tad sweet for my liking but it was an impressive cocktail that could have been tweaked to perfection if I had requested it. The next cocltail was their take on a Jack and Coke. I didn't really get to see how it was made because instead of making it in front of me, my bartender, (I forgot her name) made it in front of the customer who had already seen it done once. I know smoke is involved because I did get to take a picture (after asking) of a Crystal Skull Vodka bottle filled with smoke that went along with the drink. It was a mediocre cocktail. Slightly watery with a hint of whiskey flavor. It wasn't a horrible cocktail but definitely not worth the price. I also ordered the taro root fish tacos. Nifty idea. Not sure if the taro root really came through the taste of the fish. I was also mildly insulted by two different bar backs about the fact that I was ONLY getting the tacos. Two very poor and awkward attempts at trying to get me to order more food backfired and only increased my desire for an earlier than planned exit. Someone needs to teach those boys subtly. There are ways to inspire people to buy more food without being a d-bag. The Rx Boiler room is actually a very cool room. Steampunk but without over doing it. I just wish I could have had a better experience here.

Different deco, - very special and unique. Friendly service and ok good food. It was just a bit difficult to figure out the menu, the dishes were, like the deco, special and unique :-) I had the burger and they did not say that it was goat's cheese that they used. Other than that, I think it is nicer when you go there for drinks and food, since they had a great assortment of alcohol.

Emily R.

My husband and I have gone to Rx Boiler room three times. The first time was for dinner, and the last two times just for drinks at the bar. We only had dinner once--for a reason. The food was meh, especially compared to the food we had when it used to be a part of RM Seafood. True, it is an experience to eat here, but it's not a meal we'd come back for again. The atmosphere in the place is fantastic, which is why we enjoy visiting the bar. The steampunk dÃ©cor is just fun, and the bar staff are friendly. This is a great place to have a couple of drinks before having dinner elsewhere.

OK, I was sicker than a dog with a cold for most of my visit to Vegas and thankfully, my last evening there, I was feeling a little better and we stumbled upon this amazing spot. The environment is very funky fun; think speak-easy meets Moulin Rouge. The iPad with the drinks is cool (but a little unnecessary...didn't really add anything). As for the drinks, let me tell you I met a true artist. Ngoc behind the bar was one gifted mixologist (her martini stencils on her nails should have been a giveaway) who knows her stuff. I told her that I wasted a gin martini but wasn't quite in the mood for my go-to Bombay Sapphire and she whipped up one humdinger of a Fords 'tini for me that was scrumptious. Dinner didn't disappoint either. Tyler our server was great...made wonderful suggestions including the brussel sprouts that melt in your mouth and those glorious tots with tarter sauce (who knew?!?!?!). Shared a steak with my fellow diner which was good, but not sure I'd do steak on the next visit. Spot just has a cool vibe that's not boilerplate Vegas but feels a bit more Los Angeles to me. Classic cocktails, beautiful menu that is creative, and wildly attentive and professional staff who knew the menu and their products incredibly well. Would absolutely seek this spot out again and would recommend hands down.

Service is great Javier was making our drinks.. Drinks are good. But I cant see my self coming here to eat or making it a regular spot.. I had the seafood sheaprds pie and my girlfriend had a chickin ceaser salad. All ridiculously over priced with medium protions..seems like your paying for the nice decor inside. Would just come back to have a drink and some chips with guacamole or the pot pie nuggets.

I hate giving out BAD reviews...especially at places that my friends have enjoyed. After all, that is the reason why we came here, because we heard GREAT things! Let me start off saying that the food was not BAD. It just was not notable in MY eyes, and it felt EXPENSIVE. And I didn't even pick up the tab this time! First example, Moonen Tater Tots ($9). Overpriced for the portion size...I think there were 9 or 10 tater tots in there?? That is about $1 a tater tot...and no, it's not drenched in truffle oil or accompanied by a fancy aioli. The taste was just ok...not very memorable. Braised Oxtail Croquettes Dijionnaise ($12). Looks like a mozzarella stick, but it's filled with oxtail and potato. It was good, just not liking my "bang for the buck" here. Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets ($11): Natural Jus with Peas and Carrots. These were interesting...good, different, but not great. I want something to stand out!! We aren't eating at Applebees...or spending Applebees money. Johnny's Dry Aged Burger ($18). I asked for double portion of Truffle Cheese, but it was NOT very truffle like and tasted DRY like a goat's cheese/brie...which I don't like at all. Sad, because it ruined my burger. Maybe if I had only one cheese, it would have been more tolerable, just don't compare this to Todd English's Olives Truffle Cheese Burger for instance...not the same burger or cheese...not even the same ballpark. The desserts were good, Pie Americana ($9): Apple Compote. Puff Pastry, Vanilla Ice Cream and Walnuts. Fancy apple pie, good flavor here...and the Mahalo Matcha Panna Cotta ($10): Green Tea Panna Cotta, Macadamia Nut Tuile, and Passion Fruit Sorbet. Good combination of flavors, but again, nothing really stood OUT to me, and it still felt a little overpriced. Seems like I am the minority here...everyone else seems to like this place. But I have no reason why I would go back and spend the cheddar. Pics :

Steam-Punk themed with small plates and pub food on their menu. It was reallllly good with fantastic cocktails as well. I had my second-favorite cocktail of my entire trip here - It was some sort of gin fizz and the bar tender prepared it tableside using old-timey bottles and added carbon dioxide from a cannister. The whole restaurant tries to give you that Steam Punk experience - we loved all the creative touches in decor. I had duck l'orange lettuce wraps and they were delicious - flavorful with lots of interesting toppings and a large portion. Three of us wolfed down two orders of tater tots, which were the tastiest tater tots we've ever eaten. Best of all, the place was NOT crowded on a Saturday night, so I feel like this place is flying under the radar - take advantage! Highly recommended!

How have I not written my review for this place? My bad. I have been here twice. It was a hit and miss situation. The first time was much better than the second. The first time was with a large group of friends around the grand opening. Th second time was for Restaurant Week. With the former, it was a group of eight starting off with cocktails at the bar. The attention to service was what impressed me the most. When we were all present, the hostess came to get us and carried out drinks on trays. It was a nice touch. I am more than capable of carrying my drink from the bar to my table, but it was appreciated. The food was spectacular minus a few glitches such as the all kale caesar being dominated by romaine. The second time, they rectified that problem. With the party of eight, we pretty much tried everything. The steak and tator tots, oxtail croquettes, chicken pot pie nuggets, osso bucco with orzo were my favorite items. The fried game hen with their locally sourced organic honey was delicious, too. Everything was enjoyable from start to finish. The second time was a little more chaotic. The food came out lukewarm to cool on some of the items. We were all hungry, so we let it slide. The appetizer for two could have used a little more substance. It was not enough compared to the larger salads. The entrees were definitely generous. I was stuffed at this point. Once the desserts came around I was done for. The fresh baked cookies with milk was ridiculous in sheer volume. The three granita dessert was nice, but lacked a cohesiveness. Almond and coffee made sense. Almond and watermelon was not bad. Yet trying to figure out how coffee and watermelon worked one after the other didn't pan out. The beverage program here is solid and I enjoyed the concoctions they put out. They have added to their list since the first time. I would definitely go back again.

DEAR RICK MOONEN: PLEASE HIRE SERVERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUS RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE AND NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY LOOK GOOD IN A CORSET!! This would easily be a 4 or even 5 star review if it weren't for the horrible service we received while dining at Rx Boiler Room during restaurant week. The space itself is awesome. It's located upstairs in the Shops at Mandalay Place, so if you are going just to the restaurant, I suggest parking in the shops valet (on Luxor side). It was easy to find.... The decor is beautiful! I love all of the different seating/table types and the dimly lit dining room. I did think it was strange that you have to go through the bar to reach the dining room, but whatever. The first thing about the service that I found strange was that the hostess who sat us didn't give us menus. She just took us to the table and told us our server would be with us shortly. At that time, there was only 1 other table seated, and another hostess sat a table next to us a few minutes later (still waiting for the menus). Then, the server comes out and approaches the other table first. She gives them menus and then comes to us. We had to specifically ask for the RW menu, which probably took 10 minutes. Now, I specifically notated my reservation online that we were going there for RW, so it was a bit confusing that she almost didn't even know what that meant. It literally took FOREVER to get those menus, which I thought that they should have been giving out standard with their regular menus. The only reason this is even a 3 star review is because the food was so good. I am 100% positive that our server has never waited a table in her life, because she was so totally clueless. Although she was very nice, she was very slow and had to be asked for refills numerous times and even forgot my drink order. So, it was $50.13 per person for a 3 course meal. Here is what we ordered: 1st Course: Choice of appetizer My friend and I shared the appetizer sampler, which included the taro root fish tacos, the bacon wrapped bacon and egg and the chicken pot pie nuggets. All were really good, but I think the bacon wrapped bacon and egg was my favorite. It was brioche toast, topped with pork belly, tomato jam and a sunny side up quail egg. My egg was over cooked, but still very tasty and the pork belly was really delicious. Although the fish tacos were tasty, there wasn't really much in the way of fish. There was 1 little speck of hamachi tuna, but overall it was good. I am on the fence about the chicken pot pie nuggets. They tasted exactly like they should, and had plenty of filling, but I just think that the outside crust was a little too hard. It was weird deciding how to eat it - should I pick it up? Should I try the fork (did this and failed)? My Mom ordered the All Kale Caesar, which was a surprisingly large salad and really good! I would definitely order that if I went back, and we decided that she got the best "bang for her buck" in the appetizer department. 2nd Course: Choice of Entree I had the Grilled Niman Ranch skirt steak, medium rare. This was served with Moonen's Tots (on the menu they are Moonen Mash Croquettes) and a small salad of greens and tomatoes with a vinagrette. The steak was really good, and cooked perfectly. Whatever marinade they use was a bit sweet and paired perfectly with the smokiness of the grill they use. For the tots, I was not that impressed. I am a bit obsessed with tots and not sure these were a favorite of mine, although they were good. There were more like fried mashed potatoes... and the "tartar sauce" that was supposed to be served under them was basically non-existent. The salad was a salad. I thought it was a strange accompaniment and should be replaced with some other vegetable. It was not creative and definitely did not flow with the rest of the plate. My Mom ordered the Bucket of Crispy Fried Game Hen, which came with Mac + Cheese x 5. I ended up being very jealous of her selection because it was SO delicious! I've had game hens before, but never fried, and now I know what I've been missing out on! These were like chicken wings, very crispy and served with buffalo sauce and ranch for dipping (neither was used). And the mac n cheese was really tasty as well. The other diners said it would be in their top 5, but I disagree, although it was very good. 3rd Course: Dessert There were only 2 options, and we all ordered fresh baked cookies with milk. The presentation was awesome - there were about 8 or so cookies on a big wood slab, with an empty glass and a small bottle of milk. Although the cookies were warm (there were chocolate chip and peanut butter), I highly doubt they were "fresh baked." Food wise, everything was good. Our server could use some work and time management skills. Considering she forgot our cocktails all together....

It shouldn't be this easy to get a seat at a place with food this good. Steampunk ambiance meets comfort food with a sartorial twist. Telling all my DefCon ha)(or buddies to check it out the next time they come thru. Kale salad/Mac n cheese x 5

My friends and I had a great time at The Boiler Room last Saturday night (Valentine's Day). We had several of the appetizers - Devils on Horseback, Bacon wrapped Bacon-n-Eggs, Meze Platter and Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets - all were fantastic. My friends enjoyed their entrees but after seeing my selection (the braised lamb shank) placed on the table, everyone took the opportunity to try it and raved about it. The lamb shank was delicious - fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful and the orzo side had just enough seasoning to give it some personality without overwhelming the lamb. I opted for wine but several people in our party ordered delicious and creative cocktails. Our server was sweet and very helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed. Loved our meal there - would highly recommend it - and hope to get back there the next time we're in Vegas!

Playful interpretation of comfort food and innovative craft cocktails served in a bizarre turn of the century brothel meets postmodern industrial Sci-Fi steam punk dining space. To be clear, I'm not a fan of the Disneyesque dÃ©cor which makes you the thing that looks out of place. The Boiler Room is a craft cocktail lounge meaning, it's not the beer, neat scotch, or wine kind of place. Complex, new creations and reinvented, turn of the century cocktails containing multiple liquors, house made infusions, and oils dominate the unique drink offerings. Tried a few, won't go into them individually, suffice it to say, they are excellent. It's like drinking a dish. You can taste the evolving flavor on the palate even after the sip is long gone. Impressive. The food hit the mark. The "Bacon Wrapped Bacon-N-Egg", quirky, difficult to eat but once you stuff it in your mouth, it's like breakfast in a big bite. Sitting on a piece of toasted brioche is a bacon wraps a cube of pork belly topped with a fried quail egg, tomato jam and guacamole. The shrimp corndogs, not bad. Sweet corndog batter coating slightly over cooked jumbo shrimp topped with a vibrant cilantro aioli. Good flavor, a little excessive on the aioli that leaves a greasy feel in the mouth. The smoked gravlax are excellent. Cucumbers, fresh dill, red onion and pieces of gravlax (cured salmon) are placed in a dish with a dome filled with hardwood smoke. Sensory dining as the smoke tickles your nose before you taste the mild bitterness it has imparted throughout the entire dish. Excellent texture, just plain fun. Finally, "Squid-E-Os with Spicy Merguez Meatballs". A surprise from a disturbing sounding dish. Tender cooked squid rings sit atop a squid ink / tomato sauce whose oceanic flavor is counter balanced by spicy, earthy meat balls. It works and is good eats. Servers are well trained and friendly. No problems when describing the unusual offerings. Keep an open mind. Experiment. Well worth a visit.

I am STUNNED by the high rating of this place. My friends and I came here for a late dinner on Friday night. We were seated after about 10 min. We had a large group of about 12 people. The restaurant was pretty empty. We got a really big table. The dining room looked really neat. Our waitress greeted us nicely. She showed us how to use the drink menu. They had a really cool selection of drinks. They were innovative but pricey. I got the rum cocktail (forgot the name); it was really good. The drink was strong but the flavor was really great. We ordered quite a few things from the menu. The food took forever. They messed up on 1/4th of our orders. It was just one HOT MESS. The food was not worth the wait. By the time our food came, everyone was in a bad mood. The food was not awful but not great either. The kitchen needs to pay a little more attention to what they're doing. It made no sense to us why they were messing up so badly on a slow day. Leaving bits of duck bone in the duck lettuce wraps is a big no-no. The experience left us with very little to smile about. The only dish that I was really impressed with was the green tea panna cotta. It was such a great refreshing dessert. I loved the textures of the toppings, and the li hing mui worked so well with the matcha flavors. This is probably the only thing I'd recommend at the RX boiler room. It really sucked that we had to pay a huge gratuity bc of the size of the party. The service just turned awful by the end of our night. We were clearly frustrated, and the staff didn't handle this frustration very well. They looked just as pissed off at us as we were at them. They offered nothing to appease us. Instead, some of my very frustrated friends had to ask them if they were going to do anything about what happened. They brought out like half a dozen of small cookies, but it just felt really forced and a little too late. Everyone in our party left in a foul mood that night. It really put a damper on the start of our Vegas trip. Definitely not coming back here. There is no shortage of amazing food in Vegas. RX Boiler Room needs to step it up or else they'll be off the strip in no time.

We were excited to try this new restaurant. Tried the chicken pot pie nuggets, they had a nice thin crisp but the insides were half empty so they were a meh. The Inside out French Onion Grilled Cheese Cheese Sandwich was tasty and the Onion soup laced with wine was good. The slow cooked egg on the jumbo asparagus seemed undercooked and slightly raw. The whites were slightly undercooked and runny. The yolk was not velvety as I am sure the chef intended. The asparagus were nice fresh and crisp but I didn't enjoy the undercooked egg on it, as it was just asparagus in a pool of liquid that didn't coat the asparagus. I've eaten slow cooked eggs before and missed that velvety consistency. The VERY BEST OUTSTANDING thing I tried were the fish tacos. They were so delicious and layered with flavors and spices on clever thin crisp taro root shells. But the problem was they were so tiny, more tiny than street tacos maybe only a little over an inch long. But they were $4.00 each so you spend $12.00 for Super Great Tacos that are only slightly larger than amuse bouche sized. The tacos we received were just too small for $12.00 so I feel that is a meh. Cheese plate was OK but uninspired. Some of the grapes had rotten spots. While not fully rotten they were too far from fresh to be on the plate. A little concern and observation from the kitchen should have caught this. We brought the grape issue to someone's attention in a nice way asking for nothing in return, and were told someone would come out to speak with us. We waited and waited then got the check and then paid the check. Nobody ever came out. I would have given three stars but since nobody came out to speak to us. Price point is a factor too. Wine selection by the glass is limited $14. - $25. a glass Cocktails that I looked at ran $14.00 - $17.00 a glass

What didn't we order? I swear, we must have ordered 1 of everything on the menu! There were 8 of us and we got seated in the chandelier room. We were the first party to ever sit there, which sounds cool, but the place was only open for 8 days, lol. Everyone ordered what they wanted and we all just shared everything. The cheese platters was delicious. The Mediterranean platter with humus and tsisiki sauce and that was GREAT! I loved that one so much. One thing keeping it from 5 stars, we ordered the only kale caesar salad and it hardly had any kale in it. That was disappointing. The name of the salad was ALL KALE.......The drinks were good, but do expect to pay about $15 on average for one. Rick himself came over and talked to us for a bit, AND took a pic of us as the first party in the chandelier room and uploaded to his Instagram account. That was cool! We had a fun time and everyone really enjoyed everything. Some items were definitely bigger hits than others, but there was nothing that everyone didn't like, so that's good. Service was good, slow at times, but we were a large group and the bartenders have to tend to the entire place. I had a really good time and would definitely come back again.

Rx Boiler Room was high on the fiancÃ©e and my list to try while in Vegas. We'd previously dined with my parents at RM Seafood and had a very memorable meal in the upstairs fine dining space that Rx Boiler Room replaced. We'd also previously sampled craft cocktails conceived by Nathan Greene, Rx Boiler Room's lead bartender, when he was behind the bar at Vanguard Lounge. Needless to say, we had high expectations for the food and drink in their new setting. We arrived right when the doors opened since we had tickets to the 7:30 Zumanity show, but wanted to have a light dinner beforehand. We were met by one of the friendly, attractive, young, corset-wearing hostesses who guided us to the lounge after stating our preference to sit at the bar. Much has already been written about the steampunk aesthetic of the place, let me just say I get it and enjoyed the casual and whimsical approach it takes with regards to its food and drink. If anything, it also means plenty of corset-wearing hostesses, servers and bartenders. We started off with drinks. I had the Smoked Whiskey and Coke. I liked the use of visually appealing, cleverly repurposed use of an empty Crystal Skull vodka bottle to be the vessel for smoking the George Dickel whiskey. The Dickel picked up the cherry wood smoke, but was not overpowered by it. The smoked whiskey was nicely balanced with the not overly sweet house made cola. It was my kind of whiskey drink! We split orders of the Braised Oxtail Croquettes Dijonnaise ($9), Rx Fish Tacos in Taro Root Shells ($12), and the Shellfish Shepherd's Pie ($30). Croquettes were perfectly fried to a golden brown without a hint of greasiness. The braised oxtail inside was rich, meaty, and savory. Although they were served with a tasty lemon aioli, they truly didn't need any additional adornment. Given Chef Moonen's expertise with sustainable seafood, it was a no-brainer for us to have something from the sea. Three taro root taco shells were filled with a noticeably fresh Kampachi tartare garnished with grapefruit. While the tacos were a delicious appetizer, they were fairly small. The Shepherd's Pie was a much more appealing, aquatic spin on a classic dish, containing a generous amount of exceedingly fresh sea scallops, King crab, shrimp and topped with chive whipped potatoes. Every spoonful scooped from beneath the relatively thin layer of potatoes came up filled with perfectly cooked shellfish. Our experience was made complete when Chef Moonen stopped by to ask how we were enjoying our meal. In any restaurant, especially one from a celebrity chef, it's always good to know that the chef is actually in the house. Chef Moonen was a gracious host and his passion for what he does shines through in the outstanding food and drink. Rx Boiler Room is a worthy successor to the great restaurant it replaced. It's not a cheap night out, but I felt we got what we paid for. 4.5 stars.

Food is delicious and great presentation. Too bad their customer service is horrible. They brought us wrong entree and then wanted to charge us for it. Plus they took for ever to bring the check.

I was SUPER excited to check this place out when I saw the signs for a new restaurant in Mandalay Shoppes. Rick Moonen's restaurants don't disappoint and I was fired up for something aside from fancy-shmans seafood. This place has a VERY cool theme - I love the decor, LOVE LOVE the uniforms (each server wearing something unique), and the overall vibe. Here's the breakdown: The drinks were very inventive and although not every one we tried knocked our socks off, there were a few gems. 1/2 star for a cool drink menu Food: Chick pot pie nuggets 3.5/5 - there were great conceptually, but a little bland. French Onion Dip Sandwich - 1/5 - the sandwich was very bland and oddly, needed salt or something simple to fix it. I was hoping the au jus would do the trick,but even the au jus was bland. :( Fried Oxtail - 2/5 - again, great concept...but unlike the french dip, this was SUPER salty. Texture was great, but it was way too salty to enjoy. Mac and Cheese - 7/5!! If nothing else, you MUST go here for the mac and cheese. Really delicious - crunchy on top, perfect creaminess, perfect texture. YUM. 1/2 star for the Mac and Cheese alone, 1/2 for the creativity of the menu. Service: Adorable hostesses, great outfits. The server was...well, um...not amazing. We ordered drinks and some appies, and the appies arrived BEFORE our drinks. ...What? Then, during the first round, she asked if we wanted to order anything else, we said - we're good for a few minutes...and then she took the menus. ...What? We were a group of 4 people and had only order two appies thus far. Weird. So, after a few minutes, we get another menu and again order drinks and more appies...and AGAIN, the food came first. SO very odd. The saving grace was that the "apprentice" who served our water was FAB. We got all our food and drink recommendations from her and would probably go back just because she was so good. 1/2 star for the service - thanks to the "apprentice." One Fun Surprise: Rick Moonen stopped by our table to ask how everything was. That is awesome. The guy has a whole host of restaurants in Vegas, so I love that personal touch...of course, it was the second day they were open, so it makes sense. Still, I love that he took the time to make that impact. 1 Star for Rick Moonen. Overall: This is a new restaurant - they're clearly still working out the kinks. I'd go back on a date or something if I was in the area. I'd like to give this place 6 months to figure things out and then try again - or at the least, grab appies upstairs and do dinner at RM Seafood downstairs.

Man! I have wanted to try this restaurant since they opened and today I finally went, I was so disappointed!!! Half of the tables were occupied so it wasn't terrible busy. We waited 10 minutes to be asked if we wanted tap water and another 10 to receive them. We order the chicken pot pie bites. Then another significant wait for iced teas! They looked great but we couldn't eat them because we did not have plates. Our waiter walked by several times before we could flag him down. I started to eat using my left hand as the plate. Not exactly fine dining. We had to flag down again to get clean silverware after the appetizer and again after waiting 10 minutes for iced tea to be refilled. Come on guys- I had better service at fuckin chuck e cheese! The main course the fiancÃ© had the Guinness beef, I ordered the scallops. When they came his looked like a meal and mine was 3 scallops on 1/8th cup of purÃ©e. I would be happy with that as an appetizer but 3 scallops is a $32 "dinner"?! I was still hungry leaving a $100 dinner and had to go to Slices for pizza. Ok food, bad portions and terrible service. Had such high hopes but will NEVER return!!

Great cocktail list - and fun, delicious menu! The chicken pot pie nuggets are a must - and give the sliders a try too! Best of all, they serve some of the world's best spirits - including St. George Gin and their B&E Bourbon. The Pizzazzerac is an amazing cocktail! Before you leave, order the cereal milkshake - you will thank me. And then you'll go back the next day and ask for it all again!

There are a lot of good reviews here but for my visit to Rx the week of April 7-9...I was less than happy. There were very few people in the restaurant when our party of 5 was seated. The waiter took about 5 minutes to initially come to the table and he had a trainee with him which was nice to think he would have some extra help. We placed orders for drinks and although we could see the bar that took about 10 minutes to deliver. We ordered food, I had the specialty burger and it took about 30 minutes for food to arrive. That is fine but when they brought the food that was the last we saw of anyone for quite some time. We all had finished our meals with the exception of me flagging the guy down to order a side item as he didn't tell me that when we ordered. When I did this he seemed flustered and 30 minutes later he did return with onion rings which when he sat the down abruptly fell onto the table and he walked away. During this time we had to flag another girl down to ask for another round of expensive drinks and that again took about 12-15 minutes. I was tracking time because we had a concert and costume party to go to. So the evening here ended with more waiting on the wait staff. We asked another waiter to please tell our waiter that we needed a check and after finishing setting of another table he went to locate him. He came without the check which again we waited for. Part of our party had to leave to change and get ready so two of use stayed behind to handle the check and that alone took another 15 minutes of just waiting. The service on this time, date and without a very busy restaurant was terrible. No one else stopped by our table and it was a pretty expensive check for 5. The others enjoyed their food but the burger was not that good. It was no longer warm but the onion rings were great though.

First thing: Park at the Shoppes, not at Mandalay Bay, or you'll be walking for miles. As others have noted, the space itself is incredible, and well worth spending some time just looking around. There are some articles online that talk about the whole backstory of many of the items you can see and it's fun & interesting to read up before you go. Would have liked to see more victorian and less laboratory, but that's just personal taste. Everything here is incredibly artisanal. I'm sure you could get something normal, but why? From the cocktails (Smoked Whiskey & Cola, Jazz Hands, Catch 22), to the appetizers (we started with a mezze platter) to the small plates, everything was incredibly rich, incredibly well presented, incredibly delicious. Although meant for sharing, we each ended up ordering what we wanted, and although it wouldn't be enough for someone really hungry, the shared appetizer + small plate left us all stuffed. The service also rates a mention. This place is new, and our server was well-intentioned, but not well-trained. However, the overall service was very good. Attentive enough that they kept the water glasses filled, the drinks replenished and empty dishes removed, but not so attentive that you couldn't hold a conversation without interruption. I'm sure that as they get more experience, it will only get better. The one discordant note was the Top 10 music playing...surely there must be better music that could add to the theme experience? Overall, well worth returning to, again and again, especially if they continue to improve.

I liked the ambiance upstairs! The booths would be great for an intimate date. The food was mostly quite tasty. The standout feature of this restaurant was the service. The waitstaff was excellent, especially Brandon and Jack. Brandon was highly professional when we had a few problems with our meal. He handled the situations with total professionalism. I'd certainly consider eating at this restaurant if you are near Mandalay Bay.

Kenning N.

Simply the best service I have had anywhere in Nevada. If you like a steam punk vibe and appreciate delicious food served in a beautiful setting, you should consider this spot in between Mandalay Bay and the Luxor.

Gabe P.

It's one of the many restaurants on the Luxor to Mandalay Bay shopping indoor strip, they have some pretty nice ones here. It looks great and it's pretty big with different sections, behind every curtain and door there are a few more tables. Sat at the bar and ordered the Smoked Whisky Cola that I've seen in a commercial. You get to talk to the guys and girls at the bar, they are very knowledgeable and friendly. They make a lot of smoke in a crystal skull and infuse that in your whiskey drink. so your cocktail will taste like incense smoke and you'll drink it. It's a little too strong at first but after a while you get used to it and it's great! My second drink was a Japanese whiskey which was good too. Wifey had a some fruity drinks that tasted too much like cucumber to me, but she liked them. Great Vegas style spot, great drinks and excellent service that leave you with a great felling!

Thoughts: Nice decor. Movies on the wall between the bar & main dining room a nice touch. Something to look at everywhere you looked. Menu on website not the same as menu used in restaurant. Would have ordered short ribs that were on website menu; however this entree was not on menu we were given in the restaurant. SO frustrating when a restaurant is out of a menu item or they no longer carry something they list! The shandy listed on the beer menu was no longer available and the server stated the kitchen had ran out of the chicken & waffles entree. The beverage menu is on an iPad; it can't be that hard to take something off electronically. As for an unavailable entree, the hostess should have said something when she handed us the menus, IMO. Food quality was good. Enjoyed the lamb osso buco very much. Appreciated the extra chips with the guacamole. Beware - guacamole is spicy. The inside-out French onion grilled cheese was, literally, four bites of food. Imagine one slice of bread cut in half; made into a half grilled cheese sandwich, then cut in half again. The two sandwich pieces were served with a small bowl of some kind of dipping sauce; and no one explained what it was. On this restaurant's website, the copy states that portions are ideal for a shared dining experience. I disagree; portions were small. Minor service issues; we didn't get small plates when appetizers were served; and could have used small plates for the vegetable side dish we ordered for the table. Osso buco was served in a tagine and I used the under plate for my vegetables. Busser was faster than the server when we needed anything. They serve Pepsi products; just the basics. No Mountain Dew and no root beer. Overall, just OK. I would try The Boiler Room again, but I'd ask when I was seated if all menu items were available.

The staff here is awesome. We sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks. The bar staff was personable and very helpful in selecting drinks. The drinks were fun, creative and very tasty. I also had the shrimp and grits. It was good but I wish I could have had more grits to make it better. The tater tots were out of this world and reason number one while I will go back!! Yum!!

Erin A.

This place had awesome decor! Waitstaff was on top of everything, and everyone was very nice. Food was really good too! I had the skirt steak with a side of mac n' cheese and it was sooo good! My fiancee was a little disappointed with the short ribs. He got more veggies than meat but he said it was good anyways. Only bummer about the restaurant was they only have one bathroom for women. I waited so long to use the bathroom that one of the wait staff just told me to use the men's, which I did. Really cool place, good food and very nice waitstaff.

Micah W.

Ask for Eric the bartender. He is the most amazing bartender I have ever encountered in my travels around the globe. Despite being in a major casino on the strip, and the drinks being complicated (ask for the smoked whiskey cola) the tab was only 49.00 for 6 drinks. WILL BE BACK!!

Amazing,amazing, amazing!!!! We were a party of five last night and had an assortment of different dishes. Everything was fabulous and we all shared to get a taste of every mouth watering dish. You must try their "Inside out French Onion Grill Cheese". Out of this world. Service was also exceptional! From chef Moonen to the mixologist which made me this great drink mixing tequila, beer and grapefruit juice, to our gracious server, they were a 10 on 10!! Definitely a winner everyone should experience ! Can't wait to go back!

A friend had recommended this place so we thought we would try it. We went there with a party of 5 and were seated pretty much right away. Loved the decor, the old dark wood with the fluffy couches and chairs. We thought we were in for a treat. The wine list came on an iPad, but there was not a lot of information about the wines. We finally settled on a Cabernet and asked for a decanter. That was when we got a blank look from the server. She must have asked the manager because he came to our table and said "We have a decanter, we just have to find it". Ok, Im willing to concede that maybe this place doesn't usually serve wine that needs to be decanted very often. Our server was mostly non existent for most of the night. That was surprising because the place was mostly empty. The appetizers were good, we had the bacon w/ quail eggs, pot pie chicken nuggets and guacamole. Everyone at the table thought the appetizers were great. Several of us ordered the filet, mostly cooked medium to medium rare, all 3 were cooked well done. This happens, I know, you can always send it back. But when your are paying $42 for a filet alone, you expect them to at least cook it right. There was absolutely no flavor to the filets at all. We ordered some sides and they were disappointing. The Brussel Sprouts had some sour aftertaste that had nothing to do with Brussel Sprouts, the Asparagus was completely bland. For a restaurant that has prices like these, the food should be better. I would highly recommend folks to skip this place. There are much better places in Vegas for the same price or less with better food.

Great fun bar food that was done up a bit and tasted good. A little pricy, but would be great spot for drinks and apps. Fun decor and waitress outfits are perfect for starting off a guys' night. We were actually there with my family - hah - but the waitresses were even able to win over my asian mom.

The prices are more expensive than the online menu. Before going to RX we studied the menu online. The items we chose were much more expensive at the restaurant. For instance the skirt steak was $24 online with potatoes and $36 at the restaurant without potatoes. The cocktails are very good. I think they are the only thing that is going to save this place. The food was fair but at these prices I expect amazing. The waitress was nice but obviously was not a professional server.

I'm perfectly ok with giving Rick Moonen one star. I know this place is new. I would love to go back in a year and re-review. So, on to the long short of it... This place is cute and (dare I say) whimsical in dÃ©cor but sexy at the same time. Weird. Anyway, the menu is 100% comfort food. They indeed fry and throw cheese on items here without hesitation. Here's what I tried enough of to review: Bacon Wrapped Bacon and Egg - 3 perfect little bites great balance of flavor. Inside out French Onion Grilled Cheese - Ooie Gooie cheesy deliciousness combining by 2 favorite things onions and cheese! Bucket of Crispy Fried Game Hen - Ok, here is the reason for my one star. This was the greasiest, flattest chicken that I have ever tasted. It was, in one word, awful. It is accompanied by a massive clump of shaved celery and carrots on top of the basket...wtf do I do with those?!? I'm eating with my hands here. It comes in a diner style wire basket and you get no plate which was only slightly annoying after I tasted the thing. I absolutely regret getting this. Johnny's Big Dry Aged Burger - This was delicious and as an onion lover, I completely appreciated the added flavor of the Balsamic onions in each bite. But, its a burger...so yah. Mahalo Matcha Panna Cotta - Matcha Panna Cotta good...pineapples ok, but the addition of the passion fruit sorbet was just weird. I don't feel like this combination worked well together at all. A bite of all 3 at once, let my mouth very confused. The hunks of macadamia nut tuile...just made things worse. Peach Cobbler - I'm not sure if this was good or my dessert was so bad, I was happy to taste something that at least worked as one harmonious dish. Supporting my decision for 1 star, plain and simple is the fact that this place is WAY...WAY overpriced. I feel like I'm paying for the Moonen name...which is fine, but when this isn't paired with Moonen quality. I find myself full of regret that I ever stepped foot in this place. If you insist on trying... get some small bites and some cocktails. Save yourself the money and the frustration. Also, keep in mind that they still don't have a Happy Hour in place so give it a couple of months.

Made a reservation through open table for a party of 6 during Restaraunt week. Between our party we had a combination of the appetizer sampler for 2 (fish tacos, bacon wrapped bacon & eggs, chicken pot pie nuggets) all were good, the chicken pot pie nuggets were lacking something in flavor , maybe salt? For entrees we had the crispy fried game hen and shrimp and grits while the other half of our party ordered the niman skirt steak, again all were ok, nothing memorable with the exception of the bacon wrapped bacon & egg appetizer. About midway through our meal, we finally received our sides ( that we had to ask about) of zucchini and mac and cheese. The dessert options included freshly baked cookies and milk or trio of sorbets. The cookies were good, again nothing I couldn't have baked in my own oven at home. When our check came we were surprised to see all the extra fees we were not aware of: restaurant week charity donation as well as the appetizer upcharge. I've been doing research on the restaurant week menus and never noticed an upcharge fee on the online menu, the physical menu nor were we told at the time of order, they also changed the price from the website from $40 to $50. Should've chose a different restaurant for RW or ordered a la carte from the menu. Will probably not be returning or recommending. Jameson mule was pretty good though

I liked it so much I went there twice. We are not new to Las Vegas at all we have been going every year for 10 years now. So when we heard that there was a Steampunk gastropub we wanted to check it out. We went there last Thursday (9/5/13) to have a couple of drinks. The drinks was really inventive and great tasting. Also, it is fun to watch them being prepared. My companion had a drink containing smoked whiskey so it was cool to watch the preparation. We also ordered a couple of appetizers the inside out grilled cheese and chicken pot pie nuggets both were very tasty. The staff is very nice and helpful and will address any questions you may have about the drinks or menu. We went back on Monday (9/9/13) for dinner and we were not disappointed I had a burger (I know how lame) but it was very good quality meat and well prepared. My companion had the crispy game hen which he loved. We also had a opportunity to try some of the desserts. I recommend the cookies and milk and the panna cotta. The cookies are terrific but the panna cotta is memorable especially if you are a fan of tropical fruit flavors. The prices are good and the drinks are not anymore expensive than other bars and restaurants in Las Vegas (or major metro area). Lastly, it has aesthetically pleasing and unusual decor. It is definitely worth a visit if nothing else for the incredibly interesting and great tasting drink offerings. But I would definitely recommend having a bite as well.

While waiting for a our table to be ready at another restaurant, my friends and I popped in for a a drink. The drinks were awful and the prices were outrageous. I ordered a lemon drop and it came to me in a tiny champagne glass. Once our table was ready, my friends headed out and I decided to ask for our bill. I was charged $17.00 for a terrible drink. I asked the cocktail server why she rang it in as a premium and she said he'd have to hunt down a manager to fix it. After a few minutes, I had to suck it up and pay $50.00 for three drink. Total rip off and total tourist trap.

I returned to the scene of the crime. I feel obligated as first time around, first course I was served a couple amuse douche bartenders. Well, seems like the owners took notice, because this place has pivoted 180 and now is one of my favorite craft cocktail spots in Vegas. Their food is also great, the rawfish tacos were awesome. The bartender Jackie was amazing and served a special rumchata cocktail that was sweet. Everything seemed to taste better. Maybe first time round my palate was distorted by the bitter taste of suppressed rage. I could even see the exasperation in the bar back trying to get the douchebag bartenders to serve me. Good job rx, you found the antidote to shitty service and made a miracle cure that made your patient even better.

I absolutely love the steampunk theme!! The cocktails are so unique. "Mario took the wrong warp pipe" is like a smooth herbal creamsicle (sounds weird, I know, but you have to try it!!) Service is outstanding. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable :) Food favorites: kona kampachi tacos, inside out French onion soup (like a grilled cheese w onions), citrus salmon smoked under a glass dome, shellfish sheppard's pie (scallops, crab& shrimp!) and the peach cobbler. It's a great place to hang out!!

Seriously what a great find. Decided to take a break from the club scene on a Vegas trip and stumbled upon this little spot on our way into Minus 5. Absolutely incredible cocktails (I had the "Mario took the wrong warp pipe" and my friend had "how many licks" - what great names!!) and seriously it's such a great spot. Awesome vibe, stellar decor, interesting concept, (still incredible drinks), and amazingly friendly service. The cocktails took a little longer than most other places but that's because the drinks are so intense and complicated. They are absolutely worth waiting for. Wow! Love it :)

My group of friends and I came here for a 5 p.m. reservation before a show at New York-New York on Friday, June 6. The restaurant was quiet most of the time, as we were early, and staff were moving tables for an event later that evening, but there was not too much distraction or noise. The food was unique and interesting. The chicken pot pie nuggets were delightful and everyone at our table enjoyed our drinks, especially the whiskey drink poured out of a skull. I ordered the shellfish shepherd's pie, but found it to be rather bland for a $34 meal. However, the rest of my party enjoyed their food immensely (especially the pan-fried hen and waffles). The true highlight of our meal, however, was our server Stephanie. We frankly had some rotten restaurant service experience during our trip and were a little hesitant, but she set the bar. She recommend great appetizers and drinks, checked on us regularly, had no problem splitting our bill when we asked at the start, and was sure to get us our final bill with plenty of time to get to our show (Zumanity). Plus, she was extremely friendly and had a good sense of humor! She has all the makings of a five-star server and any top restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip would be lucky to have her.

Great ambience and drink selections. The atmosphere alone makes this place worth checking. It has a steam punk sort of theme throughout, and the waitress and hostess attire compliments the decor very well. It is a very inviting style that doesn't make you feel overwhelmed and compliments both the casual and fancy patrons. You can review all their cocktails, beers and wines on the ipad they give when you go in which gives you info on ingredients, origin, proof, etc. I could have easily spent two hours in this place just looking through all the different cocktails they make. If you are in town, it is a great place to stop in a get a drink.

REVIEW FOR DRINK & DESSERT ONLY Other than a completely clueless hostess, this was a great experience. The panna cotta dessert was a wonderful explosion of different delicious flavors. Also, their negroni was a sublime take on the classic cocktail. The decor features a steam punk-ish theme that was a little much for my tastes, but thoughtfully done. The service at the bar was attentive. I would gladly go back for dessert and a drink again.

Jordan B.

The place has a great appearance inside- steampunk. And the staff is dressed to match. The cocktails are awesome- I loved the Luna Rossa and it's made table side for extra flare. However, there was poor communication between the staff because someone approached the table every 30 seconds. It was overbearing. Then, even though the place was pretty empty, they sat people immediately next to us- I hate that. I had to get take out because of a change of plans. I recommend the pastrami sliders as a change of pace, the tiny fish tacos and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Do not get the asparagus, the Peking duck lettuce wraps. The host(guy) acted too formal and seemed like he was trying too hard. It was annoying.

Katy O.

I stopped in for a drink after trying the Minus 5 bar across the way. I'd say come here over there any day, as getting a cocktail here is quite the show. Friend got the smoked coke and whiskey... quite interesting. It's not for me, but they smoke their own woodchips and infuse the whiskey in one of those nifty skull glass bottles. My drink I think isn't on the menu at the moment and I can't recall the name, it was a relatively simple citrusy vodka cocktail, which is my go to. Not bad but not incredibly memorable (aside from the pretty flower in it). I'd definitely come again though.

Katelyn P.

I took my little brother here for his birthday because he LOVES steampunk. And from the eyes of a soon to be 11 year old, he thought the restaurant was INCREDIBLE. I would have to agree with him :-) The food was delicious, the decorations were amazing and the staff was so friendly. We got the chicken pot pie nuggets, the hamburger, the mac n cheese side and the milk and cookies. So good! My only complaint was that it was a little pricey, but all restaurants in casinos are expected to be so I'm not too worked up about that. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and different place to get dinner!

We were slightly saddened when RM's upstairs restaurant closed, but when we heard he was planning on opening a new restaurant in its place we knew that we had to try his creation as soon as possible. We were not disappointed in Boiler Room. The service was great, the environment was fun, industrial without being heavy and definitely a nice place to dine at night. There was not a large crowd, but I don't think we went until later and night. The music was at a perfect volume, and I liked that the restaurant was a little more edgy compared to its predecessor. After flipping through the menu, my husband settled for the appetizer portion of the Duck Lettuce Wraps, and the waitress (the moment I said I was gluten free)suggested the lobster pasta but made with zucchini pasta. You know...a mandolined zucchini instead of pasta. Low carb and delicious? Sign me up! My husband's lettuce wraps left him wanting more. Savory, not greasy, delicious and just what he wanted them to be. My pasta was great. Maybe a little more salt and pepper and a hit of cheese would have helped just a bit, but it's not like I'm complaining here. I ate most of the dish while my husband finished the rest. We both could have eaten it all over again, not because the portions were too small but because the quality of food was so high and the taste was delicious. You will not be disappointed going to RX Boiler Room.

One of my favorite meals in Las Vegas. We went with a group of 6, and the wait staff were all excellent. We had drinks made tableside, and the bartender/mixologist was really knowledgeable, and chatted with us about everything he was doing. He even made me a custom mocktail using the all-spice syrup that was featured in the cocktail. It was delicious. The food was all great, including the burgers, mac and cheese, fried game hen, and french onion grilled cheese. Next time we're in Vegas we'll be back and get everything on the menu we didn't have a chance to try this time.

I liked the atmosphere and the choice of foods was good. The best appetizer by far was the tuna tacos and we ordered seconds. The chicken pot pie bites were different but didn''t blow me away. Our waitress was great at first but then disappeared. I wish I could say that it was so insanely good that I will be back, but I can't.

A good way to know that one is old is to sit down at the steampunk themed restaurant in vegas and watch your wife whip out the iphone flashlight in order to read the menu. I guess it's a little bit of redemption when the waiter brings her a small flashlight so that she can save her battery. This place has great cocktails, good food and attentive service, so don't let the theme put you off. The luna rossa is an awesome cocktail - made tableside for two which is a treat. Chicken pot pie croquettes are awesome - but very hot inside so do not just pop them into the mouth! Charchuterie board was very good with nice selections. Entrees lost a bit of steam - oh boy that's a funny pun - but generally held up. This place would potentially more enjoyable if it was totally stripped down of its silly theme so that the food and drinks could be the focus - but "Vegas baby!" Kudos to our waiter Derek for making it a nice evening. Our bill with tip was around $125, which was a refreshing break from the quadruple dollar sign steak house clones that dot the landscape in Vegas.

The RX Boiler Room was on our list due to their steampunk theme. It is a bit dark to tell, but there are definitely some nice steampunk touches, like the octopus sculpture at the end of the bar. A wall of screens were showing several movies from the genre like "Steamboy" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". The staff even makes an effort to dress in a casual steampunk way. We were there at 5:00 when they opened as we had places to be that evening. The service was fabulous as was the food. I wish I was not on a gluten free diet as I keep hearing great things about the chicken pot pie bites. As it was, I was quite limited in my food options, but I enjoyed the brussel sprouts, some meat and cheese and a few other bits. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. One of my companions ordered the smoked salmon and it arrived under a glass cover filled with smoke. Fantastic! I intend to try to make a trip back some time when I can have a more leisurely meal.

First time here, we were very impressed. Had the Inside Out French Onion Grilled Cheese Sandwich (small plate), the Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets and the Duck Lettuce Wraps. The food was prepared perfectly. Service was over the top amazing. Cozy decor, cool theme. Rick Moonen happened to be in the restaurant while we were there. Our awesome server brought him over to our table since he knew we were his fans. It made the experience even more wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this place!!

Great food and even BETTER drinks! I had initially passed over Rx because of a few 1 star reviews, let me assure you that they couldn't be more wrong. The ambiance and feel of the place is great, well dressed staff and cool decorations, as well as cool steam punk stuff and movies playing. The food was good and very unique (bacon wrapped bacon quail eggs were tasty) and average priced for on strip eats and drinks. The drinks were amazing and like nothing I've had (I specifically remember a smoked whiskey drink that we had). The staff was very knowledgeable and professional in making drinks as well as making recommendations about the menu. Eric, the manager, was also very friendly and even made a special round of drinks for a newlywed couple that he comped them and wished them the best! I highly recommend trying this place for a round of drinks and snacks like no other place I've been.

Came here tonight with a friend. Our server was awesome. Nice and outgoing. He suggested bacon wrapped bacon to start. He couldn't have been more right. Great way to start the meal. Tried a few other small bites. First we tried the pot pie bites. Good flavor. Secondly we had the Mac n Cheese. Bomb. Best ever. It beat the pot pie bites by a long way. They weren't bad but this was awesome. We then had the hen and waffles. Waffles weren't great. Kind of bland but the hen was perfect. Sauce was flavorful. Well cooked and crispy. Loved all of it. We will be back!!

To be honest, I haven't had a drink or a meal at this place because me being a local, I don't often go out to the casinos to eat. However, this place has become part of my "Here's THe Places I Think Are Cool in Las Vega$$" tour. It's really a neato swanky kinda place, but also has a very approachable feel to it and I really like that quality. Rarely can a place be that nice while also being so inviting, and I think Rx Boiler Room pulls it off gracefully. I was there last night and I ran into some friend who'd had some of the appetizers and they were raving about them so now I'm REALLY fascinated. The Steam Punk/Jules Verne-esque decor has a feel that makes you wanna grab a glass of brandy, light an old pipe and listen to stories of the high seas. It's got a very comfortable feel and the people that work there are friendly and very professional. I can't wait to go back. If any of you go there before I get to go back, PLEASE do a a quick review...I really want this place to be successful.

This is my third experience at a Rick Moonen restaurant, and I must have had amnesia. Dang is thus place awful. Ok the wait staff is fairly HOT, and the door girls definitely are, which I guess is very necessary when the food is terrible. Our waitress was cute, sweet, and buxom. Good combo for three guys on a business dinner. Before you jump on me for being sexist, the restaurant dresses them this way, and it's Vegas after all. I thought that the food overall was inedible. My friend's local green falls appeared to have been picked on the freeway, but as couple weeks back. My salad was drenched in a vile gorgonzola dressing. It was simply disgusting. You get the picture. The one item I can highly recommend is the 5 cheese plate, which was outstanding except that the cheeses were grocery store level and there wasn't enough bread. We left wondering what the new restaurant in this space will be, upon our 2015 Vegas trip.

I have eaten at most all the great restaurants in Las Vegas with the big name chefs and Rick Moonen has constantly amazed me. Well my dinner last night showed me me what an innovator he is, this steam punk concept is carried out from beginning to end seamlessly. Our waiter was great, attentive but not overly so, helpful but not intrusive. This is one of the most important things a restaurant a can do, and is rarely done. This shows great leadership to me. The food was as creative and exciting as a new type of cuisine could be EVERYTHING was great. The design of the restaurant was sophisticated, fun and well different. We need more leaders in this incredible dining scene that are willing to take a risk...Bravo Rx Boiler Room. My only suggestion is NEVER use the words when looking for a suggestions "well that is one of our most popular dishes.

Amazing decor and atmosphere. The pot pie nuggets and the taro root fish tacos were very tasty. I could have made a meal of just them! The seafood shepherds pie I ordered as my entry came out just warm. I hesitated to say anything but sent it back for more time in the oven. They brought it out nice and hot and it was so worth the wait. Our waiter and the manager apologized profusely and gave us dessert on the house. This is a great date night restaurant, or just to drop in and try their specialty drinks. Had a great experience and definitely want to come back and try some of the other wonderfully sounding drinks and entrÃ©es.

NOT TO BE MISSED! The best food at Mandalay and probably in the top 10 in Vegas. Our first visit was for happy hour, which is a must-do: half priced cocktails and select small plates. Happy hour was so good we returned for a full meal! The bacon-n-egg (sunny side up quail egg, tomato jam, slab bacon on brioche) is a flavor and texture explosion in your mouth. Holy yumminess! Other must tries are the fish tacos, in-house citrus smoked salmon, and onion soup grilled cheese. Everything we tried was so fresh and had the most amazing combination of flavors. Do not miss the cocktails - they even wheel a bar cart to your table and prepare them there! The wait staff are super attentive, the menu is eclectic and delicious, the interiors are really well done (steampunk design which compliments the food)..... not one bad thing to say. Ask for Andrew - he'll make sure you order all the best dishes!

Super nice restaurant in Vegas. I loved the motif of steam punk. The servers wear great uniforms in the theme. The drinks are very good, although pricey. The food is pricey and small but its just a fun theme type restaurant. We shared a bunch of appetizers and it was over $50 a person.

Nice spot for appetizers and drinks. Great ambiance for a lounge type place. Not really a dinner spot unless you like weird mashups for dinner. If you're looking for a quick drink and nosh, this is your spot.

Slow service, small amounts of food, priced high - must be Vegas! Sadly the service didn't warrant the cost... I expect more when my entree dish costs almost $40 but takes almost 40 minutes to cook. The manager personally came to our table at least three times when another waiter would notice us sitting for long period of time. Honestly there are better places to eat - it is Vegas after all.

With a revolutionary steampunk theme and outstanding service the Rx Boiler Room is one you shouldn't miss! You may be captured by the ambiance, but the celebrity chef-driven menu paired with innovative mixology create a sustainable and satisfying experience. Don't just make a stop, but plan your evening around Rx Boiler Room. You won't regret it:)

AWWWWW YIIIISSSSS RX Boiler Room Located above the good ol RM Seafood (Mandalay Bay...would it hurt to put up some damn signs?) And i've waited way too long to write this review so lets just get to the food. - Bucket of Crispy Fried Game Hen with Bleu Cheese Dip, Buffalo Sauce The Buffalo sauce is damn good, the game hens themselves were crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Nice meaty pieces considering they're game hens and all. Also served with shaves of carrots and celery which is a nice touch in both presentation and...yeah i ate them too. - Jumbo Asparagus Officinalis with Soft Cooked Desert Bloom Egg & Truffle Salt So this is a side item but it's actually pretty damn amazing. The truffle salt was light, a bit too light for my tasting and the truffle was a bit underwhelming. The asparagus sure was jumbo and the serving size quite nicely. The soft cooked desert bloom egg is just that, the soft cooked (boiled? poached?) egg yolk that offers up it's rich fatty goodness to what ever you dip it in. - Johnny's Big Dry-Aged Burger with Truffle Cheese, Lettuce, House-made Pickles & Tomato Jam Balsamic Onions First of all i had this with the Truffle Cheese which gave the burger an AMAZING flavor. Secondly, i dont really like burgers much because they're pretty much a dime a dozen but it's difficult as hell to find a good burger let alone a GREAT burger. Last, for 18 dollars is this burger worth it...the answer is yes Yes OH GOD YES. I'd one of these every meal of the day if possible. - Rx Guacamole with Duck Fat Chips The guac is...pretty standard. The Duck Fat Chips...oh god if it wasnt so unhealthy i'd eat them along with Johnny's burger. - Braised Oxtail Croquettes Dijonnaise with Lemon Aioli Mixed feelings about these croquettes. They are very tasty and have a lovely crunchy outside to gooey inside ratio but the individual pieces are so small it's hard to taste everything in just one bite. Well it was for me as everything described is being shared with others - Moon N Doggies - Two Shrimp Corn Dogs, Cilantro Aioli & Asian Slaw Didnt get a chance to taste the slaw but the moon doggies were quite nice. The shrimp wasnt too mushy from being ground up and still had some good texture. The cornbread batter was nice and light resulting in a crispy shell. - Flight of Onion Rings - Smoked Ranch & BBQ Sauce this "flight" is actually very nicely served on a wire rack model of an airplane with the sauces tucked in the wings. quite an adorable presentation. Rings were good too. - Lamb Osso Bucco Greek Style with Toasted Orzo, Germolata and Ricotta Salata Cheese Lamb wasnt as gamey as i was expecting but still quite tasty. Couldnt really taste the toastyness of the orzo but it went well with the greek style sauce. Not all the bones had marrow but of the ones that did....nice VERY nice Yelp 100 - 039 of 100

We were biding our time after dinner and before the clubs when we stumbled across Rx Boiler Room. They were in their second week since opening. The drinks are strong and the decor is amazing - comfy chairs, an assortment of lamps all meld together into this surreal, burlesque-like atmosphere. They accommodated our group of 10 easily and our server made sure the drinks kept coming. The drinks are strong, and the one appetizer we had, the jumbo asparagus with truffle oil and poached egg, was amazing! This is a great spot to hang out any time you're in the area.

I went here with a small group after dinner on a summer Saturday night. It wasn't too crowded - I'm assuming everyone was busy trying to get into Light. Crowd - Upscale Hipster Drinks - 10/10 Menu creativity and execution made our visit a very great experience. Also, they present the menu on an iPad - ohhhhhh schmancyyyyy! We didn't get a chance to order any food but the drinks were pretty darn expensive. Of course it was expected, it's Vegas. I will say this - I rather pay $15 for these delicious little concoctions rather than $15 for a RedBull/Vodka at the club. The bar area has a snazzy mirror above the island which allows customers to spectate the bartender as drinks are made. A lot of TLC is put into each drink and each one has it's own unique signature. Atmosphere - 9/10 Dim lit, intimate, mellow. Very clean! + Service - 9/10 Very polite and attentive. I asked a busy waitress to point me toward the bathroom - she stopped what she was doing and escorted me all the way there. Although unnecessary, very much appreciated. I enjoyed my time here and would like to eventually try their entire menu. *September 2013

We were really looking forward to dinner here, sounded so interesting. What a disappointment. Felt like a strip mall restaurant, it completely lacked intimacy. My scallops were raw, and only 3 of them for $36. Our bill was over $200 and we left hungry, looking for more dinner. Won't be back to this restaurant any time soon.

Although everyone was very nice, good dÃ©cor and decent service, the food was overpriced, portions small and food just generally not good. The waitress tried to sell us 2nd portions of certain items as there were only 3 pieces for our party of 4. After we ordered, the runner then told us for an upcharge, they would have put a 4th piece on the plate. The ox tail croquettes were burned, the large lettuce leaves overwhelmed the pitifully small portion of Peking duck, the pot pie balls were dry... you get the idea. Thank goodness they gave us cookies at the end for my birthday, otherwise my party would have left hungry. I predict that they will be closed within a year unless they bring in Bar Rescue!!!!

After reading reviews, after I already went, Im sad I didnt try the food! We went here because we were rejected from Light @ mandalay. Surprisingly their hand crafted cocktails reminded me of some pretty awesome speakeasys I've been to. So my review are for the drinks. Loved the Mario went down the wrong pipe, whiskey coke and they had some cocktail with coffee ice cubes. Went there with 7-8 people and everyone loved their drinks as well. Just be aware that they are all extremely handcrafted so it takes a bit of time to order! I just double fisted all night so I had a drink queued up and ready! Pleasantly surprised by this place for drinks!

We were a restaurant's nightmare. We went in with a large party that while all the food was going to be on one check, the drinks were going to be split between 8-10 people. For most restaurants this would have been a problem but for the RX Boiler Room they treated it like it was no big deal. Their hostesses made sure that the waitresses knew the situation and when we explained how much we loved the lobby area with the tables and couches, told us we could stay in the couch and lobby area which made it easy for the group to get up and talk to various people as our party grew to more than 13 (I lost count at some point). So a big huge thank you to the staff - most restaurants wouldn't have been happy, but you wouldn't have known it was an issue at all for the staff of the RX Boiler Room. I should say we went in on a Sunday night, so had we descended on them on a busier night like Saturday or Sunday they may have been less enthusiastic. Our party was there mostly to enjoy the ambiance of being in a Steampunk (that's a genre of science fiction that borrows from the Victorian Age which was the age of Steam for it's look and themes), but we were all blown away by the service and the quality of the food and drinks. We must have ordered at least one of every side dish and small plate. While everything was good, the favorites were the chicken pot pie nuggets, the inside out french onion soup, and you would have thought we were little kids in corsets, top hats, and goggles when the cookies and milk came. Drinks are $10-12 so it is not inexpensive to drink there,but the drinks are creative and interesting and the staff is great on advising regarding your choices. Food is fairly reasonable, especially for strip prices and a few appetizers/small plates really dose work well for my husband and I. I have some minor knocks on the place: They have a slide show of Steampunk art, but no credit is given to the artists who made the work. Whoever did their slideshow should go back in and put in artist name and website/tumblr/blog link in the lower right corner. I had heard drinks came in beakers and didn't see any drinks served in science type glass ware. Maybe we didn't order the right drinks? It was kinda a bummer, but nothing major. I wanted to go around and give all the waitstaff hats or fascinators, depending on gender. It was one missing fashion piece to cap off the look. That said, they were all attentive servers and absolutely at the top of their game. So if you like Steampunk, go, you won't be disappointed. If you like good gastropub food/tapas style dining you won't be disappointed.

This was our first visit to this restaurant and am sorry to say it was a bit disappointing. Wine and whiskey selection was very good Service, while the young man that was our server was pleasant and wanted to please he really needed some additional training, needs to know the daily fish special and how dishes are prepared. I had the fish of the day (halibut) which was excellent complex layers of flavor. Also ordered the Brussel sprouts (several of us ordered this dish) whoever accepted that produce should have be held accountable for the poor quality of the produce. No amount of cooking could have improved these vegetables (we sent them back) the sprouts were tough and woody. While these were removed from our bill the chef then sent out grilled squid, it was okay but we had finished our meal and it was just okay. We ordered vegetables because we like them replacing with another protein didn't make since. Others in the group ordered buffalo burger Mac and cheese, veal cheeks. All of which were fine, nothing to get excited about. Maybe all of these are a reflection of Monday dinner service

Went here with a group of folks I work with after a long day at our booth at a trade show. We were hungry and looking forward to a good drink. We started off with the guacamole and another one I can't quite remember ( it had slaw on the top, maybe something with pork?). Both were very good by small portions. Barely enough to share. I started it with a drink that was a twist on the Long Island iced tea. It was just ok, was hoping it would be more refreshing. For my entree I had the squid e o's. They were great. Again, a small portion but the meatballs were a great compliment to the squid. My next 2 (or 3 drinks) were the smoked whisky. Wow! What a great drink and awesome presentation. It came in a glass skull. After I ordered my first the table all ordered at least one more. The service was great! Pleasant, attentive, and efficient. Very good spot for a low key meal, or even drinks and apps.

So here's the newest celebrity chef driven hot spot to land on the Vegas strip. And this one does not blend in with the crowd! I'm already a fan of Rick Moonen's, RM Seafood and was excited to find he opened a new place right above his signature restaurant! I am not one to be sidetracked when en route to a night of shopping at Urban Outfitters, but I was lured over by the punk inspired gears on the mechanical archway. My friend is a museum curator and although she is not easily impressed, she was also drawn in by the modern gothic design. Really cool space. After a quick look at the menu we decided to venture in for a closer look. The friendly manager was even kind enough to give us a quick tour. The restaurant's Neo-Victorian theme was the perfect blend of science fiction meets fantasy. Felt like I was in a time machine! The entire staff was all decked out, too. Glad we ended up staying for a quick snack even though we already ate. The entire menu was quirky, fun and very innovative. Def lives up to owner Rick Moonen's progressive style. Top Chef worthy creative comfort foods. My friend ordered the Mac and cheese and hasn't stopped raving about it. Another guy at the bar was eating their version of spaghetti-o's made with squid rings!! I can't wait to come hungry next time. I'm already planning a return visit before I go to see the Flaming Lips next month. Can't wait to try some of the smoked cocktails! Eclectic!!

We had drinks there with various groups of friends three times during our stay in Vegas and had dinner at the Boiler room on one night. The beverages are excellent, carefully crafted, and inventive (mixology!). Everyone was happy with their food. The beet and goat cheese salad and the grinata desert trio were my favorites. The atmosphere/style and the service were also wonderful.

A steampunk-themed restaurant with unique cocktails and tapas? Easiest choice I'd ever made. Both food and drinks were amazing, and the chef (Rick Moonen) even came out to chat with us. Atmosphere: Perfect. Admittedly, we're both very into steampunk, industrial sort of looks, and this place pulled it off beautifully, from the decorations to the uniforms. Drinks: I got "Some Like it Hot," which is comprised of Ford's gin, Solerno blood orange liqueur, honey syrup, lemon, habanero shrub bitters, sierra nevada pale ale, smoked paprika-pink Himalayan salt. It was a unique taste, and I sucked it down. (I love me some foods/drinks with a kick. She got "How Many Licks" on the server's recommendation, comprised of raisin-infused Hennessy Black cognac, house-made plum-vanilla bean shrub, disaronno amaretto, lemon, sauternes wine, fever-free soda water, grated nutmeg, cognac-soaked raisins. She really enjoyed it ... and again, a very unique flavor (tasted like ... as you'd assume ... raisins). Food: We got (forgive me, I forget some of the names) shrimp corndogs, chicken pot pie nuggets, and inside-out French onion grilled cheese sandwiches. All three were awesome. We both adored the sandwiches, and our opinions were flipped on the corndogs vs nuggets. (I loved the corndogs, she loved the nuggets, and we were both just OK with the other.) Downsides: A little expensive, and the serving staff was a bit *too* attentive (they were almost vultures, secretly and awkwardly spying on us to make sure we didn't need anything, and a different person would come by our table every few minutes to ask how everything was). Those are small complaints, to be sure, and regarding the staff ... it's been open for FIVE DAYS as of this post, and they're still getting their sea legs; given that, I think they did an excellent job. Better to err on the side of TOO much service rather than lazy service.

It's been 3 days and I'm still thinking about my meal here. I trusted our server and started with the strawberry switchblade drink. It was amazing. I then had to get in touch with my inner five year old and ordered the tator tots. Amazing. For dinner I had the shrimp carbonara ravioli. Amazing. For dessert, I had another strawberry switchblade. I'm angry they were closed yesterday for a private event otherwise I would have been eating tator tots.

Candice S.

Amazing! So this is a high end restaurant in Vegas. There were 4 of us and we had apps, mains and dessert. Bill was $350 with tip. Not bad. Our server was Laura. She was fantastic. We we're going to order just the pot pie nuggets for the app and she recommended the bacon wrapped bacon. We were game, so we ordered both. Both apps were unique and so tasty. I'm not a big fan of pork belly (too fatty for me), but the bacon wrapped bacon was delicious. I did not feel the sliminess of the fat. The pot pie nuggets we fantastic. So much so, that I plan to try to replicate them at home. We'll see how that works out. We also ordered a couple of the cocktails. They were a little too sweet for our taste. Hubby's had the beer and they were fine with it. I had the salmon, hubby had the scallops and our friends had the short ribs and lamb (a recommend from Laura). Everything was fantastic. Luckily we're not shy, so I got to taste everything. I LOVE salmon, so I was very happy with my choice. I think the scallop dish was a little small and underwhelming, but the hubby liked it. I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I was a little jealous I did not order it. If I would have ordered the scallops, I would have been down right pissed. The short ribs were good, but not memorable. We also ordered the tater tot and mac and cheese. The tater tots were so unique and very flavorful. I wish I would have eaten more tater tots and skipped dessert. I can't comment on the mac and cheese, as I didn't taste it (I don't like cheese, I know weird). Everyone who tried it said it was great. We ordered the tiramisu and bread pudding. The tiramisu was recommend by a diner leaving the restaurant and she said it was a must try, so we did. I'm married to an Italian and I've eaten at his grandma's house (she's straight off the boat from Italy), so in my opinion, it was average. Also, I'm not a fan of bread pudding, so again, it was okay. Would i go back? Absolutely, but i'd probably order everything off the small plate and sides menu and skip the entrees and desert. If you can request Laura, she is absolutely fantastic at her job!

We went last night and I started out with the Smoked Whisky and cola and I loved the presentation but like the flavor of the drink better. We started out with the Guacamole with Big Ass chips, and yes they were big ass chips! The guacamole was the best I have EVER had!!! We also had the Chicken Pot Pie nuggets which were just as they were stated. They were good also. I had the Chef's Catch which was shrimp with grits with a quail egg. What an amazing combination of flavors and was very good. My wife went with the Coffee Crusted Ribeye, which was very tender and flavorful, but a little fatty. We shared the mac n cheese, which was good, but nothing as excited as the other items we tried. I loved the decor, and the service was very good also. A nice change of pace at the Mandalay Bay Shops.

Located in Mandalay Bay Rx Boiler Room is really weird. Not normal in almost any way except for the food which is also not normal. I had a taste of their cheese board and the cheese was outstanding. The standout was the blue cheese and the goat cheese. I ordered a Cesar Salad and if you look at my picture it is not normal. I really like how they used the full leaf of the lettuce and just laid the anchovy on top. My main course was a lamb shank. It was served with Couscous with a slight balsamic vinegar taste. Really a fine solid dish. Odd in that nothing matched. Silverware, glasses, plates all kind of like the dishes you find in your home. My water was served in a mason jar and my wife's was a wine glass.

This review is based on happy hour and we got great value for money here. The bartender was attentive and gladly helped us out on telling about the different beers. The guaccamole was fantastic, and so were the bacon wrapped bacon (!) -order two. The place had a cool hipster atmosphere and no noisy crap music playing :)

Food is good. Funky atmosphere. We went with a group of 10, had a great table in the back room. Kitchen is on the first floor and second floor has glass ceilings so you can stand over them and watch, but they can also look up your dress.... It's pricey, so be aware going in. And they take their sweet time in prepping your food, so don't walk in already hungry or you'll get hangry =) Worth the splurge.

Troy P.

I was surprised at how good the food actually was... They definitely promote themself as a mixology place but they do food well!!! The duck poutine with a quail egg was straight up awesome, I mean some really distinct flavors going on with this dish. The cheese curds were more like a tater tot with cheese in the middle and they were a nice alternative to fries or curds. I'm not usually a big duck fan, but this was prepared right and with the quail egg and that au jus type sauce they have mixed in it was a really impressive start to the meal. Everything worked together and was made perfectly. I had the lamb shank for my entree and it was also VERY good! Literally fall off the bone, which lamb should definitely be and a huge portion to boot. Items are marked as a la carte, but think twice, mine came with rice and given the size as well as an appetizer, a side would have been too much. I opted for an off the menu drink, I was feeling something hot... I asked for a bourbon with some kind of jalapeno or habanero bitters and the bar tender dealt me a solid drink. I can say it was a little weak with the bourbon, good but could have used a little more kick. We only had one drink each because of time, but I would have loved to come back and try some more stuff. Easily our favorite place we ate at during our visit and 10% off for yelp checkins doesn't hurt:)

Just had drinks here, so can't comment on the food. It was happy hour, so I ordered a gin gibson. It tasted weird, but i didn't say anything because I thought it might have been the brand of gin that they used (Aviator?) When I got the bill I realized that he had misheard "gin" for "Chopin" and I got an expensive non-happy hour vodka gibson. They also charged $4.50 for a club soda - there was nothing happy about that. It is Vegas, though, so suck it up. Service was excellent, other than the bartender being a bit deaf.

We recently hired the private room here for our wedding reception and it was terrific! Our wedding was Steampunk themed and so this restaurant was the perfect choice and it did not disappoint in the slightest! We had 16 people and they set up the private room with one long table diagonally across the room and it was lovely. The food is absolutely magnificent and it is obvious that they care about the food and the menu. We had one of the set menus for our group with an alcohol package and all servers were friendly and helpful and made it a special meal for us. The beef was absolutely divine, some of the best I have had in a long time, along with all of the other dishes served on the night. All of our guests spoke very highly of their meals. Of special note was our main host Freddie. He greeted us on arrival and had already very kindly unpacked some of the table decorations we had dropped off on the previous day. He also helped us setup our cupcake stand and place all our Sprinkles cupcakes that we had had delivered that afternoon as our wedding cakes, all with a smile and joking with us. He even introduced himself to my new wife when she arrived as 'the cupcake guy'. :) Because it was our wedding reception Freddie took extra special care of us and had their awesome mixologist (and Bar Manager) Eric Smith (big shoutout as he is AMAZING) concoct two amazing cocktails especially for us! He named them the Time Traveller and the Steampowered Dragon Breath. They were both insanely good cocktails and we absolutely loved them!! (He even wrote down the ingredients for them afterwards for us to take with us). We look forward to returning to sample some more of Eric's work. Because it was a themed wedding, we and all of our guests were dressed in costume and they had no problem with us taking photos out the front of the restaurant and inside it with our professional photographers. They were very accommodating and lovely and I can't recommend this restaurant and it's staff highly enough! Freddie made it a fantastic evening, coupled with Eric's amazing cocktails. A BIG thankyou from myself and my wife for such a fantastic evening.

It's total taste bud treat. Rick Moonen is one of my fav celebrity chefs. And I still love that this spot and RM Seafood (right downstairs from here) are his flagship restaurants where he himself actually spends time. This is essentially a high-end gastropub. It's playful and whimsical. The ambiance and vibe are awesome. Kinda steam punk and lots of red. Intimate and romantic. But, at the same time, totally unpretentious. The servers are friendly and knowledgable. The beer list is great and features local brews. And the cocktails are unique and adventurous - and totally tasty (and pack a pretty good punch too). The food is crave-worthy. So yum and delicious. I'm literally salivating writing this review right now. The poutine was fun, unique, and I want to run there and get some more right now. Instead of fries, it's tater tots. And there's duck confit and a fried egg too. Yum yum. And the squid o's are one of the best dishes I've had in awhile. Again, completely unique and different. And oh so tasty and crave-worthy. And the salmon and the salads and the shrimp and the short rib and... And well, the list goes on for absolutely everything I've tried here. This is a unique and flavorful adventure. Come here with an open mind and an adventurous stomach. Go outside the box and order something you normally never would. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I went here a couple nights ago and we loved it. The food was great, the steam punk setting was fun, but it was the service that really made this place stand out. The two bartenders, I think their names were Corey and Javier, made suggestions for both food and drink, and they were all amazing. We ended up ordering several of the food items off the happy hour menu and we were impressed with all of them. We loved the bacon wrapped bacon and eggs, and the chicken pot pie nuggets were delicious. We started off with martinis but ended up trying the smoked whiskey and cola based on Corey's suggestion. This drink is made in a glass skull with the smoke from wood chips. The presentation was a lot of fun and the drink was very original. We were on our way to a show so we only had time to order happy hour items. Next time we will make the time to get a full meal. In a city like Las Vegas where you can get excellent food at countless restaurants, it is really the service you receive that makes a place special. We left talking about how much fun we had and that we can't wait to go back.

Loves this place. Great staff. From start to finish, from the time we were seated to the time we left we were treated very well. The service was so great. We got refills so quickly. We were checked on regularly. Our check was brought to us promptly. I felt really great being waited on by the staff of this restaurant. The food items on this menu are different from any other restaurant, very unique and very delicious. And the mood in this restraint is very romantic . U also get ur discount for ur yelp check in. I would definitely recommend this place to others

We came here for dinner and the decor was interesting. It is very dark and theme like kinda restaurant. They bring us to our table and drops off the drink menu and the daily special on an iPad to review, which is different and cool. My friend ordered the "skull" drink, which was interesting with smoke infused. My friend said it was strong, but a good drink. We ordered the fish tacos (3 tiny tacos), the pulled pork sandwich (it was a daily special - alittle too greasy for me), the chicken pot pie balls (a must order - you can't get this anywhere else), and a vegtable salad with shrimp (good size and refreshing - I would order this again). The food was flavorful and the staff very friendly and dressed the part. I would come back during happy hour next time and try their other items.

Absolutely love this place. Came in with my boyfriend before a cirque show and had an amazing meal and fantastic drinks. Very cool that they give you an iPad with the drink menu and specials. Will definitely be back for more!

We came here for my sons 21st birthday. We had a party of 8 people. The problem was the food portions were not even child size. We had some issues and with waiter being slow and getting orders wrong. I was surprised since Yelp had so many great reviews. I would recommend this place for drinks, but that is it. I even talked to the manager and all he did was apologize.

Dinner Out w/ Friends! Sat in the back near the stage, and was very pleasantly surprised the live music was NOT blaringly loud. Loved the music with dinner. Our friends were impressed that we took them to such a nice place. (We hadn't been there before so we touted it as a nice, steampunk bar. Little did we know that it's really a restaurant WITH a bar.) Everything we ordered was Fantastic! -We shared the mac n cheese. It was creamy and cheesy. It was good, but not knock-your-socks-off good. -The Mezza Platter was excellent! The taramasalata was phenomenal. Don't think... Don't ask... just try it. Be adventurous. (if you're not allergic to fish) -I had the Chopped Vegetable & Organic Greens with Shrimp. I'm actually craving this salad right now as I write. Simple, fresh and oh-so-yummy. -Husband had the salmon special... tender and flavorful. -Friends had the pastrami sliders, buffalo burger and inside out French onion grilled cheese... all of which looked amazing.... and they said it was too. Service was spot-on. They were there when we needed them as if they knew somehow. Otherwise, they left us alone to enjoy each other's company and the music. A gal came by before we were done eating to say there would be a magician later on, but we didn't stick around long enough to see that. (Next time.) Net, Net - - - Definitely be back!

The service was really great - friendly and professional. The food was outstanding. We went with the small plates : Duck Confit Poutine and Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets. We also tried the cheese board. First the cheese board was a great mix of cheeses both mature and light. They were accompanied by a local honey and cherry sauce and fresh toast - yummmmm. We have had the Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets before and they did not disappoint. Crisp outside with all the pot pie flavors inside. The Duck Poutine was the star of the meal. Many layers of flavors and textures and all were sublime. Make sure you get it with the fried egg in top - the 'icing on the cake'. I enthused so much about it that Rick Moonen (Executive Chef/Owner) came out and chatted about how they came up with the dish. He talked about how they want their food to be fun for the guests but in the kitchen they take it seriously. I have tried many restaurants in Vegas. Some of which are way more expensive than RX but we keep coming back here.

Wow! We loved this place. We visited for the first time this Saturday. The attentive waiter/bartender was amazing. We just gave him an idea of the types of drink we like and he'd come with an amazing and inventive drink. They have a big craft beer variety too. He gave us the best service we experienced in our 3 days there. We tried the chicken pot pie nuggets and guacamole. Both were great. They were on the happy hour menu - the portions were perfect. I only wish they had a slightly bigger menu... maybe one with less squid ink but, in all fairness, that's really just a matter of taste. It wasn't obscenely priced. We definitely got our money's worth and more. We will be back.

Great and interesting decor! Drinks are delicious! Watching them mold a perfect clear ice sphere for a drink from a block of ice is a fun treat! Food appeared tasty from those around us. We tried guacamole and it was creamy and delicious! Chips it came with I didn't care for; they can be improved on. Wish this place stayed open later.

This review was for Restaurant Week 2014. The items on the RW menu are also available on their regular menu. But for $50/person, you get a pre-fixed menu that benefits Three Square. I get to eat and I'm helping with charity! Wins all around. We made a reservation for 745 pm, but due to a hair malfunction on my part, we were running about 10 minutes late. We called them to make sure they could still seat us and they said everything was all good. We finally get to the restaurant and it wasn't busy at all. Probably about 4 other parties there. What annoyed me was that even with the place being empty, they sat us at this small ass table right next to another couple. For reals??? I know you are trying to rotate server sections, but come on! Right next to someone?? The whole time I was listening to the other couple's convo too!! I could have asked for another table but I didn't want to be a b*atch about it. Ok time for food. Whenever they brought your dish to the table, they explained the dish so you know what was in it. It was a nice touch but I just didn't feel like hearing it since I was so hungry. Apps: -Mini fish tacos: crispy taro shell with raw fish, salsa and a dab of guacamole. They were a one-bit taco. Good seasoning on the fish and the shell was crispy. -chips and guacamole: big, thin and crispy potato chips. I liked the chips a lot better than the guacamole. This was just ok. Main dishes: -Cornish game hen and waffles: two thin waffles held together by cheese. Sounds weird but it was really good with the honey glaze the dish was served with. The chicken was ok, but I wasn't fond of it being in the honey glaze. Chicken shouldn't be that sweet. -salmon and cous cous. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Flaky and moist and flavored nicely. The cous cous was amazing! Awesome seasoning and it came with pieces of octopus. Dessert: Peach cobbler with ice cream: I would say pass on this. Ice cream melted quickly so it was this big goopy mess -tiramisu with coffee ice cream: moist and not too sweet, just like tiramisu is supposed to taste. Like I said I was pretty annoyed that they sat us right next to someone else so it just put a whole damper on my dinner to begin with. Our server was nice, but I used to serve back in the day and it just felt plastic. It took forever for our desserts to arrive, so by the time they did come, I was pretty restless and wanted to just leave. They do have a rewards program for locals where you can save 10% for every visit just by giving your email. The food had it's high and low points, but overall, my experience here was just ok.

I love being surprised with new and innovative dining experiences. The Boiler Room has an eclectic and fun menu and is worth a stop if you are looking for a bit more than than standard Vegas fare. The service was top notch with Julie at the helm. The BBQ mac and cheese was the highlight of our meal. It surprised with a kick of spice. We also enjoyed the jumbo scallops and the shrimp carbonara ravioli. The scallops and shrimp were prepared perfectly and full of flavor. Next time we will put together some small bites to make dinner. Fun atmosphere.

My friends were in town and after enjoying ourselves at Michael Jackson One, we decided to find a place that was closeby for dinner. I was stumped until I remembered RX Boiler Room. I have been to RM Seafood a few times and my visits have always been hit or miss, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My friend has a five year old and our server was great about it. She went out of her way to find my friend's daughter a paper and pen to keep her busy. We really appreciated everything she did to accommodate us. Service was incredible, I would rate it 5 stars for the service. As far as the food, it was solid, but nothing amazing. My mom and I decided to share the chicken pot pie nuggets and osso bucco with orzo. The nuggets were good and moist, but lacked any excitement. They had a good texture, but I had hoped for something more. The osso bucco was tasty and spicy and the lamb was fall off the bone and tasty. The dish had great kick. I tried some of their Mac n cheese and it was cheesy and delicious. None of the food blew me away but it was solid and reasonably priced for a strip restaurant. The restaurant has a cool vibe, although it was pretty empty when we arrived on a Monday around 8:30pm. I'd come back again if I was in the area and needed a quick bite.

Went here with the bf and fellow Steampunk friends, and we dressed accordingly. We had heard about this place from other Steampunk friends and were looking forward to the dÃ©cor which did not disappoint. Who knew they were going to give us a 10% discount for dressing up?! Loved the dÃ©cor, especially since I'm SO in love with cephalopods (Octoupussies!) and there was a big cute one on the bar, see pic. We all shared the bacon wrapped eggs which many reviewers suggested and did not disappoint. Delicate and bold in flavor at the same time, it was a wonderful way to start our meal. I had a delicious meal of game hen and waffles served in a citrus maple syrup. Other than one of the wing's skin should have been browned a bit more, it was a fantastic choice as suggested by our excellent server...so sorry I can't remember your name! That's what I get for writing the review a month later! My bf ordered the lamb Osso Bucco and it was also tender and tasty. My friends split the Veal Cheeks and loved it. I don't eat veal, so I didn't get to taste that. Their crÃ¨me brulee was also deloosh and just the right amount of sugar glass on top and a very creamy center. What a satisfying and delightful meal, even if you aren't a Steampunk! But....why aren't you?!

As an avid Steampunk, I was longing to visit Rx Boiler Room because it has a Steampunk theme. I recently went there with my girlfriend and some friends, and we were definitely impressed with the outstanding food, excellent service, and of course, the cool decor. Time travelers would feel at home here. Even before entering this stylish restaurant, the retro-futuristic theme was evident. There's a really cool sculpture that stretches up the sides and over the top of the entrance. It's made of repurposed items like gears, tools, sewing machines, and old-school motorcycle seat pans. Inside Rx Boiler Room are many cool decorations including a plush Victorian room, a sweet Octopus wearing a metal helmet, and an apothacary wall filled with various vials of colored liquids. It was odd that we were the only patrons dressed in Steampunk finery, but we got lots of compliments from the staff as well as a 10% discount for dressing Steampunk. Our server was fantastic! Not only was he knowledgeable, but he also made us feel right at home and attended to our every need. Every suggestion he made, from tasty drinks to delicious dishes, was a hit. I started with the Pizzazzerac coctail with absinthe, bourbon, and Grand Marnier (it was delicious) and my girlfriend had the Gibroni-Negroni, which was also very good. We began our culinary tour with the Bacon-Wrapped Bacon-n-Egg. It's a delicious amuse-bouche that has bacon-wrapped pork belly and a quail egg on brioche toast. My girlfriend and I shared the Citrus-Braised Veal Cheeks for our entree, which was incredibly tender and extremely decadent! Our friends had the Lamb Osso Bucco and the Pan-Fried Game Hen and Waffles. The Osso Bucco was also tender and delicious, but the Game Hen and Waffles was my favorite entree! Instead of deep fried chicken, it features grilled chicken and perfectly cooked waffles with a citrus maple sauce that adds complexity and great flavor! We ended the meal with a deconstructed apple pie a la mode. I loved it because unlike most apple pies, it doesn't have large chunks of apples and there was plenty of crust and cinnamon crumble. We will definitely return to Rx Boiler Room the next time we're in Las Vegas!

Place was very nice. Dark intimate feel. Too much noise. And the waiter kept passing our table and never gave us a refill on our drinks. I left the restaurant hungry. Not worth the money.

Can't recommend this place enough. By far the best cocktail I've ever had (Smoked Whiskey and Cola) and the food was incredible. Eric, the bar manager, really knows his stuff and the presentation alone is worth a reservation. We will be coming back next time we're in sin city.

Everything about this place (except my main course) was awesome. Atmosphere - Obviously, its decorated in quasi steampunk fashion- they didn't go overboard, so it feels more natural than sitting in an overly themed restaurant. It's a little dark inside, which is great. Combined with some recessed booths and curtains, it felt sort of like a speakeasy. After we ordered our apps, we noticed two musicians setting up some equipment behind us on the "stage" area. I was initially upset that we'd be sitting so close to live music, but was pleasantly surprised. One musician played a saxophone, and the other a guitar. They played very softly, and it just totally added to the ambiance of this place. Service - Our host, server, and server assistant were very nice, and attentive. A+ for them! Food - This place deserves nation recognition for successfully making chicken pot pie bites. Yes, you heard me right: CHICKEN. POT. PIE. BITES. Here I was, thinking mac and cheese bites were the pinnacle of comfort food-turned appetizer. Id come back here every day if I could. They somehow were able to get chicken, peas, carrots, and that signature chicken pot pie gravy into a bite sized miracle. They should team up with Trader Joe's. If all I got was the chicken pot pie bites, I would've given this place 5 stars. Unfortunately, I also got the chicken and waffles (Im a comfort food kinda guy, can you tell?). And now that I think of it, it wasn't even chicken, it was "game hen." It was honestly, bad. The waffle was the thinnest waffle ever. It was more like a pizzelle. By the time my meal got to me, the citrus/maple glaze made them pretty soggy. You also got what I believe was two breasts, and two wings. My own personal preference with chicken and waffles is a boneless breast (its easier to cut pieces of chicken without bone). It just ended up being difficult to eat... the logistics of cutting up boned chicken and waffle. And not for nothing, but traditional chicken would've been better on this dish (as would a traditional waffle). Entertainment - I am unsure if this is just a weekend thing or not, but we had a magician come over to our table while waiting for our apps to come out. Like the musicians, I immediately rolled my eyes. The magician performed maybe 4 card tricks, and was at our table for a little over 5 minutes. It was actually one of my favorite things about this place! He was friendly, funny, and did not stay at our table for long. Perfect for Vegas. I really enjoyed this place, and would highly recommend this place to future patrons. On top of good food (lets just forget about that chick and waffle incident), good atmosphere and service, the prices for everything were very reasonable (even cheap for Vegas).

We really wanted to try this restaurant when we came to Vegas. When we stopped in during happy hour it was fairly quiet so it was nice to enjoy our first time here without it being loud and fast paced. The food was fantastic & we really liked the decorum inside the restaurant, but what made our dining experience that little more special was when the awesome chef Rick Moonen came over to our table and chatted to us. We highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Vegas and we definately can't wait to come back here again soon. Hope Rick Moonen open's up a steam punk restaurant here in Portland Oregon sometime in the future.

The RX Boiler Room is one of the best private party venues I've contracted. We held a client/prospect event there during a recent conference and could not have been more pleased with the food or the service. Freddie made sure everything was coordinated for us from the time I inspected the facility on Friday evening until the party ended on Monday night. We arrived to a food display that wowed our prospects, and then proceeded to have passed hors d'oeuvres flow around the room for about 2 hours. The custom drink cart serving the Smoked Whiskey signature drink welcomed new guests, and we closed with sundaes whipped up using CO2 in front of the guests. As a host, they helped me maximize our billing so none of our guarantee went to waste, and (since I was stuck at the front welcoming people) made sure I got some hors d'oeuvres to keep me from going hungry and delivered drinks through the night to keep me going. All in all an amazing experience. Thanks to Shane and his staff for everything! (Oh, and if you're going just for dinner, be sure to try the braised short ribs. They were so tender they fell apart with a light breeze!)

I decided to eat here on a whim while looking for a decent place to eat dinner while in Vegas with friends - the name sounded intriguing, and the decor seemed whimsical from the outside. Although our server was decently friendly and attentive, the food was somewhat of a letdown. I decided to order the scallops along with a glass of Riesling. The Riesling was far too sweet and absolutely terrible - I felt too bad to actually send it back but had the server offered a small taste before pouring the whole glass, it would have definitely been rejected in lieu of another wine. The scallops were also disappointing; although seared well, they arrived at the table only lukewarm, and the overall flavour profile of the dish just didn't really work for me. As a main course, the dish was also rather small and could definitely have used something starchy like a small accompanying risotto. That being said, the service was decent and the interior has an interesting Victorian apothecary-esque theme. The drink menu is also on an iPad, which while cool, was actually a tad cumbersome, especially since the comparison and suggested pairing features weren't working too well.

We were being girls who took too long to get ready and we has to push back our reservations TWO TIMES! No big deal...the hosts were super accommodating. We ordered so much food and it was all spectacular. Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets: I couldn't get enough. Lightly fried and delightful. Inside Out French Onion Grilled Cheese: last item to come out and we were super full but still yummy. A little on the rich side and may not order again. Bacon Wrapped Bacon n' Egg: pop one of these suckers in your mouth and you'll die happy. Fish Tacos: These were surprisingly small but a perfect one bite party in your mouth. The Taro root shell was exciting. Charcuterie board: you'll be treated to iberco jamon and it doesn't stop there; my favorite was the duck prosciutto. Moonen tater tots: Good, would probably pass next time but everyone else loved them. Dannie was an amazing and attentive server! Couldn't have asked for better. The service was impeccable and I would recommend Rx Boiler Room to everyone!

Like most things in Vegas....style over substance. Decor: B+ Steampunk deluxe. Well done - lots of velvet, copper, etc. So....the female servers have to wear fairly elaborate get ups that include bondage-y leather belts with 590 buckles but the dudes wear pants & a vest? In the spirit of fairness, can we get them crazy codpieces like the dude in the Cameo video or something? Menu: B About half shareable small plates and 1/2 entrees. Reasonable (for Vegas) prices. They would call it "modern comfort food" and I would call it "trying a little too hard". Presentation: A Everything is beautifully plated & presented. Lots of care taken to make sure the good is visually appealing. Actual Food Taste: C- I tried 6 of the small plates and they ranged from "pretty good" to "meh". The best thing was the chicken pot pie bites, followed by the tuna tacos (FYI, basically a Tostito made in to a "taco shell"). On the lighter side, the asparagus was amazing but the poached egg really didn't add anything. The Brussels sprouts were pretty "meh" - undercooked for the most part. Service: D+ Our server was nice but things took forever - unacceptable considering they were about 15% full. A glass of wine took 15-20 minutes to reach the table & we weren't checked back on for refills. Drinks: C So they have this elaborate cocktail cart where they make you drinks table side (cocktails only). So one of our group ordered one & it was quite a show...droppers if this & that, lots of mixing & shaking. Unfortunately the drink tasted like that violet chewing gum. Overall: C I could see coming back for a drink & some more chicken pot pie bites, but I'd sit at the bar.

Time Travelers Tea ~30$ Strawberry Switchblade ~15$ Steampunk? Uh, I have more steampunk going on in my bathroom than this place does in it's entirety. The decor here was quickly slapped together with cheap materials. Some brilliant designer said (I'm sure) to RM "let's do a steampunk theme!" {Fantastic!}, I'm sure he replied with the gusto that all "celebrity" chefs possess. So then said designer takes RM's money and goes to the equivalent of a steampunk Ikea catalogue and orders a bunch of rubbish in one fell swoop. The result? Half-assedness. Gears and machinery are, last I checked, typically metal. Not here, from what I saw it was mostly wood...and cheap at that. You can't fake wood to look like actual metal. Look up at the ceiling, through your monocle, you'll see what I'm talking about. Glance above the entranceway, past your period-correct mustache, at the scaffold-like display you walk under; it's laughable. If you're going to go this route with this type of theme you aught to do it correctly or risk being labeled a poser, poseur's. Oh, they have fancy concoctions; you may have heard them referred to as craft cocktails, pricey ones at that...I alluded to this above, prior to my design rant. For 45$ those two drinks should kick ass, take names and smack me in my mouth so hard that my roustabout stovepipe hat falls to the floor faster than one can say Penny-farthing. But, they did not. Service: Have you had fantastic service from a newb at Applebee's? Then you'd be impressed. I was not.

Charmaki M.

I'll give this place 3 stars for the whole "A for effort" mentality. I love the vibe and the cocktails. My steak was overcooked from what I had asked, but not by much...asked for medium, got medium well. Still edible. The Brussels sprouts were pretty damn good too. My only complaint with both those meal choices is that the sauces used to cook them in were waaaaaaaay too salty. However, I can't really hold that against them because when I cook (hahaha, that made me laugh) or when I order in, I do not add any salt (because it's evil), so I can taste the slightest bit of salt added, and this was too much for me. But Since I like this place, I'll just ask for the sauce on the side next time because I'm going to be spending the next 2 hours sucking water out of toilet bowls to relieve this salty thirst!

As others have mentioned the dÃ©cor here is all Steampunk, which in all honesty. . . really isn't my thing. However, we were in Vegas and looking for something a bit out of our comfort zone. We made an online reservation via OpenTable and had no issues with seating or adding another person a couple hours before our Saturday reservation at 7pm. We were seated in the front of their restaurant at a very large table. Each of the chairs were unique, padded and dramatic. The menu situation was a bit weird as you look at drinks on an iPad, but don't order from them and then dinner is on a regular paper menu. Maybe this is a new technology they are working in but not quite done with yet? Drinks all sounded very interesting, they even have a "Potion Cart" as I have deemed it, where a woman will come to your table and create a concoction of your choosing in front of you. The drinks all included specific bitters and ingredients, that in my opinion didn't drink well. The food items were all very interesting takes on comfort food items like chicken pot pie bites or inside out french onion grilled cheese. Again, in my opinion, I felt each of these missed the mark. Whether it was missing an item or overly greasy. As to be expected, items were also expensive and small. Service however was stellar, very friendly, prompt and patient with our slightly tipsy table.

We were walking around and saw this place had a happy hour from 5 to 6pm and the hostess said they had the MOST AMAZING drinks anywhere, so we decided to give it a try. OMG, she was not lying the bartendar's are friendly and are EXPERTS in their field. I have never met a group of TRUE PROFESSIONALS like these guys, they know their stuff and they are there to help you.

I'm always a little iffy about trying new things and a steampunk themed restaurant is new to me. Thank god I got out of my comfort zone and gave it a shot. Service from the time I got there till the time I left was amazing. My water glass was always full no matter how much I drank, oh and just as a flare they do cocktails table side (mind blown). I started with the bacon wrapped bacon which I'm a huge bacon fan and finished almost as soon as it was on the table, for a main course I got the lamb and it fell off the bone. They serve it with a spoon. I finished with the cookies and milk just like mom use to make. I don't write many reviews but for RX Boiler Room I had to make an exception. Mr. Moonen u hit a home run. I would encourage anyone who has not been there to try it. You won't be disappointed

This wasn't my first Rick Moonen restaurant in Vegas, so I will say that I was excited to see if the quality was consistent between the two locations. However I would be lying to you if I didn't say that it was the menu that really captured my attention more than my curiosity. ATMOSPHERE: 5 out of 5 Stars As you walk through the metal archway the ambiance of the restaurant takes over. Burnt red walls adorned with flowing red drapes surround the leather riveted chairs, hardwood tables and staff members dressed in Steampunk attire; creating a unique, yet pleasant feeling of ambiguity as to what will come next. I truly felt that this wasn't just going to be a meal, it was going to be an experience. FOOD: 4 out of 5 Stars The menu was elevated Contemporary American and offered a broad range of choices in categories like: Small Bites (Tapas or Appetizers), Boards & Jars, Garden (Salads), Land (Meats), Ocean (Seafood), Trimmings (Sides) and Sweetness (Desserts). I have a weakness for Duck Confit Poutine, when I see it on a menu, I have to order it. I also asked for Rx Guacamole with Big Ass Chips and Braised Colorado Lamb Shank. The guacamole came out first and they were not kidding about the big ass chips. Unlike a traditional guacamole and tortilla chips, this was served with full sized, thinly sliced russet potatoes. The guacamole was obviously freshly made with big chunks of avocado, red onion and fresh cilantro. The poutine was next. I should tell you that this also was not a typical poutine, as the french fries were replaced with house made tots. That in itself really made the dish, but the copious amounts of duck confit put it over the top. This was without a doubt the highlight of the meal. The lamb was served over a bed of toasted orzo and was a considerable portion size, the only negative comment I could make was that it could have used another half hour of braising; otherwise it was delicious. SERVICE: 5 out of 5 Stars Our server was Rachel, who mentioned early on that she was new and had only been there a month. She quickly introduced herself and explained the concept of the restaurant. She also reviewed the drink menu and made a number of suggestions based on my likes and dislikes on top of that she routinely checked back to ensure everything was going smoothly. Her bright and personable attitude was a wonderful addition to the ambiance of the restaurant. PRICE: 3 out of 5 Stars This is Las Vegas, nothing is cheap. If I were to compare this to other restaurants offering same plates, it would fall in line. However, with that being said, just because your neighbor over charges, doesn't mean that you should over charge as well. Two appetizers, two entrees and three cocktails totaled $142. 56 (before tip), anywhere outside of Vegas this meal would have been less than $100. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4 Stars The dÃ©cor, the ambiance, the food and the service really made this an experience that was truly unique. Would I return to the Rx Boiler Room in the future? Without a doubt!

We came for a couple of appetizers. The chicken pot pie nuggets were okay but the fried mozzarella sticks and garlic bread were amazing. They were served with san marzano tomato marinara sauce and it was perfect. Best cheese sticks I've ever had.

Wife: best cheese platter EVVVVVVER! If you know wife you know how she said it. Took some friends: one is a picky eater and he ate nearly everything. Hell, our two large butts even got full. A Rick Moonen restaurant, but it seems like he really wanted to have fun. His wife decorated it. It is a steam punk, Dracula den, with super nice waitresses that genuinely seemed happy to be working there. The drinks: fun as hell. Professor Fockblocker killed it and it was GREY in color. Like 50 shades of delicious. The fruity drink for 2 done table side was delicious even if wife did squirm when bartender said "egg whites". The food: we ordered so much and couldn't finish it. That never happens with us, maybe we tried to be less piggy in front of guests. Chicken pot pie nuggets: fried. Hot. Creamy. Gravy. How could it be bad? Cheese platter: 5 mounds of cheese. All perfect. Honey a great accompaniment. Brussels sprouts: shredded and roasted with lots of nuts. Came so late in meal that we didn't really eat them. Mac and cheese: made with wagon wheels macaroni jalapeÃ±os and bacon that is always a perfect combination. duck cold feet poutine (hahaha auto correct: Duck Confit): duck gravy lots of duck meat placed on pillowy delicious tater tots and dabbled with salty cheese curds. I chose to eat most of this and give up other choices. I will come here every time for this while wife is at Paul Mitchell. Cookies: these were no longer on the menu but my wife asked for them and they made them. They came in the middle of the meal and they were gone before we even finished our entrÃ©es. House Smoked mozzarella fried cheese sticks: The cold smoke was absolutely amazing in that fried crunchy deliciousness. I was sad that I actually had to share. Big Ass Chips and Guacamole: them some big ass chips and they were damn good. Buffalo fried oyster: super creamy under a great tempura fry and smothered in spicy and vinegary buffalo sauce. Cost: all that for $150 dollars. Totally worth it. Would we come back? hell yes We would.

Superb. Amazing atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. The bartender Jack can pour the perfect old fashioned, and I tried the smoked whiskey and cola and I was floored. The quality is through the roof and i was mezmerized by how this mixologist crafted my drinks. The decor is bery alchemy/steampunk and ita brings for a really fun environment. Must try when in Las Vegas!

The roasted brussels sprouts are a must have. The chorizo and roasted almonds are a perfect pairing with these tasty veggies!

Service was awesome, drinks were amazing and the short ribs were the best ever. Rick Moonen, himself, was here and I asked the waitress and she said he is here about 5 times a week. That's so important. Keeps the energy and consistency!

Actual rating 4.5. Venue and cocktails bump up the rating. For a Saturday evening the No1DP and I wanted to do a "dinner and show" date Vegas style. For us, this meant either fine dining or upscale casual with a named chef. He already booked the show way in advance and left me in charge of planning dinner. As the show we were going to was a fun show in New York-New York, I didn't want to go anywhere too extravagant. VENUE 1) Chef Rick Moonen is well known for his seafood restaurant "rm seafood" in the lower level. This is his take on comfort food in large and small plates made to be shared. 2) Restaurant is decorated in Victorian period steampunk-style. Prominent features are that the women are dressed in bustiers, which the No1DP noted to be different for each waitress. This was confirmed, letting the waitress express herself while conforming to dress code. Furniture pieces were appropriate to the time. Sofa was comfy. 3) A cocktail program managed by the talented Eric Smith, who kinda looks like the current Doctor with glasses. SERVICE: Staff took care of us. Waiters attended to us, bussers served our food and I had a little chat with Eric himself. DRINKS: Cocktail menu is served on an iPad. No1DP noticed that you can e-mail your orders. I hope he used this feature for the wines as I am having a total brain fart for not remembering the exact wines we had. I tend to do this for restaurants with notable cocktail menus as I tend to pay attention to the cocktails more :/ No1DP got the Smoked Whiskey and Cola ($15). The whiskey is smoked to order with cherrywood chips. The cola is a housemade concoction with various spices as to not make the coke too sweet and enhance the smokiness of the whiskey. No1DP never had anything like this before and enjoyed his drink. I got the Mario Took the Wrong Pipe ($14). I actually had a talk with Eric about this particular drink. Caipirinhas are one of my most favorite cocktails and I was impressed on his method of using cachaÃ§a - mixing it with curaÃ§ao, egg whites and extra virgin olive oil to make the drink a lot more smooth than the caipirinha and still have that burst of citrus each sip. Finally cachaÃ§a is used in a cocktail other than a caipirinha! For our dishes No1DP got an oaked Chardonnay and I got a Cabernet. Wine parings were sufficient, the tannins went well with our quite savory dishes. FOOD Rx Fish Tacos in Taro Root Shells ($12): The kampachi is done as a ceviche and the "taco" shell is delicate enough that the taco could fall apart mid-bite and the fish flavors and textures can shine through. Lamb Osso Bucco Greek Style ($28): I've had veal osso bucco in the traditional Italian style and I like this interpretation better. The lamb is braised so that the meat is tender and falls off the bone. The meat is covered in its own juices and the orzo soaks these juices nicely. There were two pieces of lamb cut perfectly for sharing. Lobster Bolognaise ($38): Pasta was perciatelli. Lobster and pasta were also prepared to be shared. I could still taste the lobster even with the bolognaise sauce. No1DP notes that the pasta was just a tad too chewy. Moonen Tater Tots ($9): Big tater tots that were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Potatoes were not greasy. Decent, but might pick another side next time. Cookies & Milk ($9): Made to order chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. Milk poured nicely as it had a higher cream content. Outside was crisp so cookie didn't fall apart but center was moist and chewy. Cookies were rich yet lost some of its richness and moistness the next day. The No1DP and I had such a great time that we ended up being a little late to our show. We noticed that the restaurant was empty for a Saturday night and hope that this restaurant will still exist the following year. The cocktails bridge the gap between the comfort food and the Victorian steampunk theme; while the cocktails can survive without the restaurant, the restaurant cannot survive without the cocktails. If the restaurant does close I hope that Eric's cocktails can survive in some other form.

Items Selected: Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets - Peas n' Carrots Bacon Wrapped Bacon-n-Egg - Brioche, Tomato Jam, Sunny Side Quail Egg Charcuterie Board - La Quercia Prosciutto, Jamon Iberico, Duck Prosciutto, Felino Salami, Grilled Bread Moonen Tater Tots Mac + Cheese x Five - Pinwheel Pasta, Blue, Parmesan, Brie, Cheddar, Blanc Squid-E-O's with Spicy Merguez Meatballs - Squid Ink Tomato Sauce, Calamari, Garlic Toast Points Pan Fried Game Hen and Waffles - Citrus Pepper Maple Glaze Peking Duck Lettuce Wraps - Hoisin a l'Orange, Picked Onion, Cranberry, Pomegranate Relish Pie Americana - Apple Compote, Puff Pastry, Vanilla Ice Cream, Walnuts Cookies and Milk - Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin, Bottle of Milk In a city built on risks, renovation, and occasionally ripping things down if only to rebuild it was to the nearly year-old Rx Boiler Room that myself and two friends turned for dinner on Saturday night and although widely acclaimed for its modernized mashup of comfort food and mixology our experience at Rick Moonen's rebranded former fine dining space proved a mixed one at best. Self described as "Steampunk" with clever details such as a wall of poisons and potions juxtaposing dark woods, gears, and gloss as an alt-indie soundtrack played overhead it was just minutes after our 7:00pm reservation that we arrived at the shopping center space and quickly led to a table at the back it would not be long before the first of two servers arrived, the duo sharing a penchant for eavesdropping and interruption with shaky pacing and presentations equally prevalent throughout the night. Obviously targeting a younger demographic than Moonen's stronghold of sustainable seafood downstairs it was in no shortage of creative cocktails to pair with the menu's imaginative bites that our decision process progressed and with friends browsing the Ipad for a quartet of $15 drinks while I curated the course of cuisine the meal that followed could best be described as "clever" - the drinks trending towards sweet while plates overall proved tasty despite being overcomplicated without any true benefit from the excess technique. Starting with a trio of sharables before progressing to things more substantial it was with disappointing cured meats alongside the restaurant's pot pie nuggets and signature bacon n' eggs that our dining began and although both of the later would prove amusing, if not particularly great, the stars of the show would only arrive next - the rings of squid tender with a tinge of acid amidst spicy meatballs while the fowl featured impeccably crisp skin over roasted, juicy flesh. Not particularly enthralled by the selection of sweets but wanting to give the pastry kitchen a fair shake it was finally in two American classics that we partook and with the deconstructed pie entirely underwhelming while the cookies would have taken actual effort to botch the bill was simply dropped off - the first time of the evening that our server was without an offhand or clever remark, though perhaps an appropriate pairing to the decidedly dull desserts.

The food was tasty and rich, but mostly a little too rich and salty for my taste. I can see why people love it - it's basically comfort food for foodies. Nothing was bad, but the only thing I LOVED was the mini raw fish taco appetizer. The lighting in the place is also a little too dark, even for the whole steam-punk vibe they're going for. We could barely see our food.

Rosalyn G.

Ate here with a pretty big group. The whole time, out server kept stressing about how she was going to split the check. She came more to the table to talk about how she could split the check up than she actually did checking on our drinks or food. Apparently they have an "old computer" (her words) and it makes it difficult for them to split checks. Even after we asked her to do what's easiest for her, and she suggested that we just tell her how much to put on what card, she was still stressed out about it. I think the irony of this is that their drink menu is on an iPad. Why don't you fix the computer that you actually need rather than some drink menu that really can just be on paper. Pretty ridiculous to me. Not only was the service bad but the food was mediocre. I got the chicken pot pie nuggets and they were really good. Other than that, everything else I tried from the group I was with was nothing special. You could go to a better place in Vegas. The prices were high too (I know, it's vegas) but you can find more bang for your buck somewhere else.. Even in "fancier" places. My cousin got the fish tacos and they were TINY! I'm not joking. The whole "taco" fit in the palm of her hand. And 3 of them were $12. Seriously!? All that being said, search yelp and you'll find a better place!

Really loved the feel of this restaurant, it was sort of steampunk without being too kitschy. Our server was great and very knowledgeable about the food and drinks offered. My husband got a beer and I chose their version of a margarita, both of which were very good. For food we ended up splitting the Fondue for Two and the Peking Duck Lettuce wraps. The fondue came out first, and I'm not really sure what they gave us, but it had more in common with salt water taffy than melted cheese. Once we let our server know she profusely apologized and took it back to the kitchen. The manager came out and also apologized, and gave us several tasters of beer to try while we waited. The second time the fondue came out it was the proper texture, though honestly still not something to write home about (I believe it was recently taken off the menu in fact). The duck lettuce wraps, however, were far from disappointing. Perfectly cooked duck combined with the crunchy lettuce and orange sauce was an awesome combination. Fondue flub aside, we would definitely come back here again and try some different food and drink combinations.

Love love this restaurant. Amazing craft cocktails. The bourbon cocktail served in a glass skull head comes Smoking! But beside that it tasted delicious. The duck lettuce rolls were really good. Our young boys ate the Mac and cheese and tater tots, all done with a gourmet twist. The staff is incredibly accommodating, friendly, and efficient. Our server Julie, went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely meal,and our young boys were taken care of. Thank you, can not wait to eat here again!

I was there last week during a trade show held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. One of our vendors treated us to cocktails and appetizers one evening. They had some very interesting drinks including a smoke infused whiskey served out of a glass skull! But the appetizers were very slow to come, and service was also slow. The Steam Punk atmosphere was pretty cool though. They would have gotten at least 1 - 2 more rounds of drinks out of us if they had been quicker.

I would like to give this place a 5 star rating for the food, but the service we received was so bad that the overall experience was awful. We went on Friday night after looking for a place that could accommodate our large group of 16 and we were told it would be no problem as it was late in the evening and the place was empty except for two other tables. The hostess was very attentive in getting two tables set up for our group and upon being seated we were greeted by a waitress that gave us a run down on the menu and drink selections. We asked to have separate checks and were met with a roll of the eyes, but were told that this would be fine. We proceeded to order drinks, then were asked for our starter order, followed by the dinner order. Most of us were ordering just one item as our meal and then the wait began. It took 45 minutes to bring us our drinks and they arrived at the same time as the starter items, but we quickly realized that the starter items and other dinner items were arriving at the same time. There were four guests in total that were left with nothing in front of them for dinner and when I asked the waitress if she could check on the last four items I was told, "Let me explain to you how this works, the food on the table was starter selections and the food you are asking about is the dinner selection so that's why it's not here and will come out later." I was left almost speechless by the rude and condescending response and had to point out to her that she had brought dinner items out to the people who told her they were eating starter items as their meal. In a huff, I was told it would be out shortly and when I asked for a refill on water for table, I was met with a "No, you can't have refills" and laughter as the waitress walked away. About 10 minutes later, we finally received three of the four missing dinner items and she had to admit that she didn't put in the order for the fourth item so we had one guest that was left waiting until most of the party was done eating before she received the salad she had ordered. Now, I understand that Vegas can be busy and I understand that a large party can be more work or take a little longer, but when the restaurant is empty except for our party and two tables with two people I would not expect it to be too difficult to manage the service expectations. After receiving the last of the food and waiting for 15 minutes for the waitress to come back, we had to ask a different server to check on our bills. We received the bills from a different server and found she had put the wrong orders on two of tabs, when asked to correct this our waitress came back and told us we were a handful and that the bills were what they were. We all paid our bills which included the automatic 18% gratuity that we had expected to pay and felt that the service was so horrendous that the waitress should have received nothing except some lessons on food service manners. As Vegas is a city that employees mostly individuals working for tips, I would hope that the restaurant would take a look at the people that work for them, as those individuals are a reflection on the business and the food was actually wonderful and I would have liked to rated them higher. Based on our experience, I believe we figured out the reason why the restaurant was empty on a Friday night.

I'm one of the many folks who never had an opportunity to eat at the upstairs restaurant of RM Seafood, which was very fancy and more upscale than the casual vibe from the downstairs restraurant which I've visited a few times. But now that Rick Moonen has re-imagined the spot as a steampunk inspired tapas gastropub which is fittingly named, Rx Boiler Room, I thought it would be worth a try since it's a more casual spot now. I love what they've done with the place with the steampunk look. Since their slogan is "The alchemy of food & drink", I figured that it would only be right to try at least one of their specialty cocktails. On their iPad cocktail menu ( bit.ly/1h8Y1Ru ), they all looked and sounded pretty cool. Smoked Whiskey & Cola -- bit.ly/1fsH0RI George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey, House made Cola Syrup, Bittercube Cherrybark Vanilla Bitters, Fever Tree Soda Water, & Smoked Cherrywood Chips They call this Jack & Coke's much cooler cousin, and by simply looking at their presentation I can definitely see why. Let's face it, I only really bought this drink just so I can see the Smoking Skull for the Smoked Whiskey. It was badass!! The drink was pretty good though and went well with my meal. I made a late dinner reservation at Rx Boiler Room at 10pm on a Friday night. I think one thing that makes this place shine is that it's open really late on the weekends till 2am. The only thing that was regretting about that late reservation was because it was my second dinner that night and I came in only 50% hungry. But thankfully Rx Boiler Room's menu has a very diverse selection of plates that can satisfy any type of appetite with a whole array of small plates and some very large plates as well that include thick cut steaks and seafood. So naturally, I ordered some of their popular small plates that I've seen pics of on yelp that looked and sounded the most interesting. Rx Fish Tacos in Taro Root Shells -- bit.ly/191AwKs Kampachi Tartare with Grapefruit Basically they're mini ceviche tacos. Pretty pricey, but every bite was so good! Bacon Wrapped Bacon-N-Egg -- bit.ly/1c2r1ev Brioche Toast, Tomato Jam, and Sunny Side Quail Egg. This is probably their most popular plate and it's pretty obvious why. I mean it doesn't get any better than bacon wrapped pork belly topped with a quail egg on sweet toasted brioche. It's ridiculously good! Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets -- bit.ly/191Asup Tempura Fried filled with Natural Jus and Peas-N-Carrots I think this is one of their more creative entrees. No sauce needed with these nuggets because it's all inside! I ordered a good amount of food and I found myself pretty full after having all these small plates. If I wasn't so full, I probably would've tried their take on the famous cronut, or coughnut, as its spelled on their menu. So even though I only tried just a small sample of what Rx Boiler Room had to offer, it was definitely enough to make a fan out of me. I could probably see myself coming here more often than RM Seafood because it's easily more accessible and inviting with it's casual approach and up my alley as a gastropub with a steampunk setting, great creative food, and interesting cocktails.

Finally stopped in to Rx Boiler Room over the weekend. We had a gift certificate given to us by a friend so we went a little crazy. Here's a rundown: Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets - pretty good... Kacey loved them.. I enjoyed them. Decent flavor, great texture. 3.5/5 Inside Out French Onion Grilled Cheese - pretty much same as above. I wasn't thrilled but enjoyed it. 3.5/5 Bacon Wrapped Bacon & Egg - awesome!!!... my favorite plate of night. Got this off server recommendation and it did not disappoint. Very cool presentation... server recommended doing in one bite but was a little big to do that.. tried.. and failed. LOL Still a fun dish and would order again and again. 5/5 Buffalo Burger - maybe it's me & my untrained palette but I did not like this at all. Probably the wrong thing to order looking back. Should have read the menu more. The flavors didn't go well for me and I ended up throwing half of this away. I'm sure there are people that love this but for me... meh. 1/5 18 Hour Citrus Braised Veal Cheeks - really, really tasty. Great flavor & cooked perfect. Worth $34? That can be debated... I don't have anything to base that price off of. Never ordered Braised Veal Cheeks before... would have like to see more meat at that price though. 4.5/5 Cookies & Milk - ummmm... it's hard to go wrong when you are serving fresh, hot cookies. The chocolate chip were delicious but could have used few more chocolate chips. Outside of that it was great. 4.5/5 Service was good, ambience is really cool... love the decor. This is another strip restaurant that I would love to frequent if it wasn't for the price. Great for tourists... not priced for your average local.

I wish I could say how good the food was but we didn't get that far due to what honestly may have been the worst service I've ever had. We were there Monday night to grab a snack before a concert. We were seated right away and left an iPad for a drink menu. The restaurant was not super busy but still it took 10 minutes for a server to get our drink order. We odered 2 beers and fish tacos. Over the course of the next 10 minutes 3 different servers asked us what kind of beers we ordered again. Now 20 minutes have gone by and we don't even have a beer. We lost all faith and got up and left. Never have done that before. We got our food and drinks inside HOB during the show. That was super disappointing because my wife has been wanting to try the fish tacos for a while.

Came in on 6/29 during happy hour drinks and apps. Went to be served at the bar, and was completely ignored by the bar staff. There were at least five bartenders working at the time and they were not that busy. After about 5 minutes, I asked for a menu and was finally given one. Made eye contact with several bartenders when I ready to order and nobody would take my order or even acknowledge me. I can't remember another time when I have been ignored like this in a bar or restaurant. I finally left and went somewhere else. Extremely poor service, which is too bad. The menu and atmosphere were promising!

My husband and I love this place the food is amazing!!! We love sitting at the bar and watching them make all the cool drinks, I will recommend this to all my friends. They have a great happy hour and as Vegas locals that's important. I love the decor and how nothing matches I can't express enough that this is a MUST while in vegas

We came in New Year's. We wanted something a little bit more casual than the fine dining we were on a roll with. 1) sit in the lounge 2) if you sit in the dining room and are a couple, do NOT sit in a booth - they're tiny, and neither of us is overweight. 3) The fondue was good, but the presentation was low class 4) we tried to drink more, but had the least attentive and slowest waiter in the world (and no it wasn't busy) 5) our fondue was only half done before our entres arrived 6) the chef is known for seafood. I ordered a salad and added shrimp to it. The shrimp was literally defrosted from a supermarket bag of pre-cooked shrimp and added on my salad 7)the chef is known for seafood, so my boyfriend ordered the lobster pot pie special for $65. There was less than a tail in there - it should have been called the undercooked potato pie with a hint of lobster Also - it's New Years Eve and you only have one proseco and one brut on the menu? The decor really gave this place hope, but for a $200 meal, we should have stuck to a restaurant that is actually worth the price.

Was in Vegas this weekend and stayed at the Mandalay Bay. Thought we would check out Rick Moonen's new hip goth restaurant. Cool Industrial Gothic decor Super friendly and nicely dressed wait staff Menu had some cool food choices, good size portions. We ordered RibEye, Kalbi flavored Skirt steak, seafood pasta, scallops, salmon (paella style seafood mix) (apologies for leaving out the fancy food descriptions) Prices were not cheap. Service was Great. Chef came out to check on us. They had a great dessert selection - highly recommend their choco s'mores dessert, tiramisu and cookies. Would return again. Kids were impressed! Kudos to Rick and his team, better than my service and food at RM Seafood downstairs.

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night with a group of coworkers. I'm still in shock that this place was nearly empty at 8pm on a Wednesday. It was the best part of my visit to Mandalay (ok so was the pool, as is any pool... but this is besides the point). Their pinot noir rose is a must. It's freaking good - just take my word and try it. I made my table jealous with its deliciousness. The cheese plate was a great choice for sharing, and my chopped vegetable salad was superb. It was probably the best salad I've had in a year...that good. The chicken was different than I expected, on a leg with skin, but while unexpected it made the dish. Overall decor was very cool and very cozy. I'd certainly come here again.

I went to the Boiler Room to meet with a colleague for business and relax some after work. The atmosphere was wonderful, modern but classy with some nice touches such as the candle on the table. (See attached picture). I also loved the disco ball antelope heads in the wall. Made for a fun environment. My colleague ordered an iced tea and I had an old fashioned (see picture). Overall, the drinks were good, very large beverage menu to choose from (almost too large). My old fashioned was made with a lemon twist, was missing the cherry, and had wayyyyy too much ice (the small stuff that melts quickly) A little disappointing when pouring a premium bourbon. As for the food, we were impressed here. I started with the pastrami sliders (see attached) and my colleague had the fish tacos in the taro root shells. Both were very good, however, the tacos seemed small on their presentation taco rack (obviously made for much larger tacos). My sliders were delicious and the pickles tasted like they were made in house, delicious. For our entrees, I had the lamb osso bucco and it was fantastic. I would have liked to have a little more room on the plate to make eating it easier, but the seared orzo and osso bucco was amazing. I would absolutely recommend. Many places over cook this until it is overly falling apart. Here it was done very well. My colleague had the barramundi and said it was very good. It looked to have a nice sear on it and he said the flavor was good. It looked a little dry to me, but he said it was good. For dessert, we actually skipped this course because they didn't really seem to be too imaginative or creative. The service was great. The waiter placed out napkins, the staff were quick with refills, and they did an excellent job of describing the items when dropped. My only suggestion to management is make sure the staff know the alcohols offered or can sell the drinks better than simply dropping the iPad menu. Our server asked if we would like a cocktail and I told her I wanted an old fashioned and she asked me what kind of bourbon I wanted and she couldn't give me a recommendation. Overall, I will be coming back. Nice calm, relaxed environment, good food and reasonable prices for the strip. Glad I stumbled upon this place. Would be a great date spot.

Fantastic service -- they actually stopped and sat at the table to go through the menu options and to discuss the best beer pairing/entree with another person at my table. Ordered the cobia fish as it was the chef's special and it didn't disappoint. Must order the pot pie nuggets -- and their negroni is out of this world.

I'm all for celebrity chef restaurants, and I gotta say, this one clearly showed the potential of "drop my jaw" awe! Sadly, this wasn't the case. We tried our best to "fall in love" with it, but their menu fell short of our expectations. At best, their appetizers and desserts were "off-the-charts" rocking it with taste and presentation. You must, must, MUST try the bacon-wrapped bacon n eggs! Everything tastes better with bacon, so how about a pork belly wrapped in bacon with a sunny-side quail egg to top it off? Excellent! For dessert, their Pie Americana, deconstructed apple pie made of fresh apple compote, with a puff pastry on the side, vanilla ice cream, and walnuts, was an absolute favorite! I think, by far, it's the best apple pie I've had in a while! Now for the hard part, reviews on their entrees. We had the Farm Raised Barramundi and the Pan Fried Game Hen & Waffles, a play on "chicken n waffles." The fish was just "okay," maybe because I'm not used to "farm-raised" fish of recent. But the green beans almandine with lemon brown butter made up for the lack of fresh taste from the fish. See? Our effort to "fall in love" with it... As for the game hen, wow! It really lacked some sort of seasoning...it needed salt, really. There was no taste. And their waffles were inconsistent, one waffle piece had more taste to it than the other piece. That was strange. Of course, the best part was their impeccable service. I loved their staff who patiently helped us. We were with our two children, not a typical family joint, so yes, we felt a little unnerved not wanting to disrupt the non-family patrons' dining experience along the way. The staff made us feel sooo welcome, waiting on us and our every need, and always concerning themselves with making sure we had a pleasurable dining experience with them. I always say that service trumps menu, this being the case at Rx Boiler Room. To the staff, THANK YOU. We love Rick Moonen's advocacy for sustainability in his culinary world of seafood. With that said, we're hoping this passion he has will run deep into oiling the cogs and gears of his comfort food menu here at the Boiler Room. We will definitely be coming back.

Seems like pubs done by celebrity chefs are all the rage now. I think it was a smart idea by Rick Moonen to change the upstairs of RM Seafood to this. It's a really cool space with interesting furniture and displays. I have no idea what steampunk is though. I can only imagine Joey Ramone in a sauna. We chose to sit at the bar to chat it up with the bartenders and get their opinions on drinks etc. It was also a treat to see them make some of these concoctions. I know quite a few Yelpers that love the whiskey and this should be a spot to check out. I will definitely try the smoked whiskey next time. Check out some of the other people's pics. My wife wasn't into any of the specialty cocktails and opted for the appletini (ha fn ha). But they used actual apple instead of that Pucker BS so it tasted as legit as an appletini could. I went with some long titled cocktail called "Mario Warped the something something" which featured egg white, tequila and thyme. It tasted like a margarita made by a mad scientist. I also had a bottle of an Austrian lemon beer I'd never had before which was super refreshing. The chicken liver pate was just OK. One of the bartenders tried to build up the fact that the pate was "like in this totally cool jar". That'd be interesting if Thomas Keller hadn't already been doing that up the street at Bouchon since they opened. I prefer duck liver pate any day of the week. I'd skip this. Interesting idea with the inside out French onion grilled cheese but I feel like it totally missed the mark on both ends. I'd rather have an excellent grilled cheese sandwich or a robust and cheesy French onion soup than this combo. This is a skip too. We both really liked the Lamb Osso Bucco Greek style. Two gloriously tender shanks of lamb with orzo on the bottom that was swimming in the lamb juice. Anthony M's picture of it is way better than mine. Shockingly the best thing we had was dessert. 2 of the bartenders kept raving and raving about the green tea panna cotta with pineapple and macadamia nut cookie. It was definitely all that. I am rounding up on Rx Boiler Room. It was more like 3.683712 stars but I think some of the dishes we passed on this first go around will be things I look forward to trying soon. Hey Rick! How about a happy hour??

Great cocktail menu if you like REAL cocktails. I had their version of a nigroni and it was amazing. As far as bar food I had the surf and turf sliders. Nice soft bun, the meat patty was medium (perfect) and a generous piece of lobster. Finished the meal off with a fleu de lis cocktail and the shrimp ball bites. Overall great service. Thank you Dillian you're a great bartender. To sum up outstanding mixology and top notch food. Thank you RX will be back!!!

They know how to do it right, so good dined two nights! Farm to table concept, all fresh ingredients. Excellent service! Really a nice experience!

Please keep in mind that is review is only based on cocktails and service. Which were both fantastic! In an attempt to buy some time before heading out for a night on the town, we stumbled open this unique lounge with fancy scratch cocktails. I ordered a bourbon drink that was spelled similar to paparazzi ... It was topped off with charred star anise and it was boosting with flavor. A lot of thought went in to developing this recipe and a lot of care into making it! Much appreciated ;-)

I'm all for the gastropub fad sweeping through the city, especially with the transformation of the upstairs of RM Seafood to Rx Boiler Room. The whole steampunk motif is cool although it looks like they spent more time updating the entry and lounge area than the main dining room. The theme could have been pushed a little more throughout the restaurant. It is Vegas, so taking it over the top would have been fitting. It's one of the better gastropubs in town and while there were some dishes that missed the mark, others were stellar. The best of the bunch was the bucket of crispy game hen ($16). Its large portion size makes it one of the better deals in the restaurant and the well seasoned, light, crispy, peppery exterior and tender, fall-off-the-bone meat could challenge for the best fried chicken in town. Another excellent dish was the Maine lobster roll ($24). Not much was changed from a traditional version of the dish and maybe that's what makes it so good. It's simple and delicious. The only drawbacks are that there wasn't enough lobster meat and it was slightly overdressed. I'm a fan of their braised oxtail croquettes ($9). The savory and rich beef had a texture similar to a brisket and the sauce added just the right amount of acidity. Another beef dish -- the grilled Niman Ranch skirt steak ($24) -- was small, but perfectly seasoned. Accompanying the steak were house-made tater tots with a light and airy interior that made them one of the highlights of the night. The mac and cheese ($14) was pretty awesome too. The pinwheel pasta was fitting with the gear and steampunk motif of the restaurant and the use of five different cheeses will have your tastebuds doing cartwheels. Other dishes we tried included a fairly standard Rx guacamole ($8) that wasn't nearly as delicious as the duck fat chips it came with. The chicken pot pie nuggets ($8) were just... meh... The heavy and thick exterior didn't help at all. Rx steak-n-eggs ($24) will probably disappoint most just because the cost-to-size ratio is hard to ignore. It's a small portion that had a lot going on -- too many flavors and textures that muted what was probably some quality beef. Let's hope they get enough business to keep this place open. When we were there on a Friday night it was dead. The location isn't ideal for attracting diners and if you park in the Mandalay Bay garage it's a long haul. The best way to get here is to valet at Mandalay Place (between Mandalay Bay and Luxor) and take the escalator up to the shops and dining area.

If I could decorate my dream house like any restaurant in Las Vegas, it would be RX Boiler Room. Even if the food wasn't totally amazing, I would still go here just to enjoy the incredible decor! Menu Highlights: Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets Inside Out French Onion Grilled Cheese (small but worth it) Bacon Wrapped Bacon-n-egg Johnny's Pickle Jar Game Hen n' Waffles Mac n' cheese - pinwheel pasta, where do you ever see that anymore?! Another thing I love about RX is the ability you have to come in here for a really expensive meal, or a totally affordable meal. I ate here last night, and managed to get out with a bill under $100 which included a bottle of wine. This is also a great place to go all out with a group of friends and share a ton of things from the menu. I would highly recommend a visit, and make sure to stop in downstairs to Rick's other resturant RM Seafood!

New, interesting and refreshing. Rx Boiler Room catches and keeps your interest from the aesthetically pleasing decor to the last lick of your dessert spoon (because trust me, you will stay for dessert- and this is coming from someone who never gets dinner, drinks and dessert all at the same place.) ----- SERVICE: -I wouldn't have had this unforgettable experience if it weren't for ANDREW. Seriously, I'm not kidding, best customer service I received in my life. Welcoming, patient and attentive, this man also has a palate for delicious food. Everything he recommended, my friend and I devoured (in hopefully the most ladylike way possible.) -There are several people who always checked on us to see if we were okay without making us feel rushed or stuffy. -My glass of water was ALWAYS full no matter how much I drank. They're ninjas; they manage to fill it up without me looking. -Everything was paced well from seating to serving. Timing is everything. Rx Boiler Room has timing. Therefore, Rx Boiler Room is everything. FOOD: Everything ranges from savory to sweet with a hint of spice. Literally, I have never tasted anything of such a combination of flavors. Other restaurants are "too little" or "too much" of something. Rx Boiler Room is on point. Purely delectable. -Rx Fish Tacos in Taro Root Shells (Crunchy taro root tacos filled with a fresh ceviche-like stuffing with a slight grapefruit sweetness.) -Peking Duck Lettuce Wraps (Warm and juicy, this duck is the best I've had. The lettuce gives a nice coolness to it and the plum sauce sweetens it just a tad.) -Mahalo Matcha Panna Cotta (A delicious fusion of Hawaiian, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian flavors, this dessert is absolutely divine. Consists of a sorbet, cookie and flan... just eat it. It's not as crazy sweet as it sounds but it keeps you coming back for more.) DRINKS: -Luna Rossa My favorite drink in Vegas. Just. Drink. It. INTERIOR: -Clean -Inviting and warm ambience -Fun, quirky, yet, classy steam punk theme ----- Love at first sight. And I fell even harder when I tasted the food. I'm so cheesy... but I will be back! Too bad you guys don't have a location in LA!

Enjoyed this restaurants decor and food. The chicken pot pie bites and bacon wrap bacon were delicious. Our server, Andrew recommended the bacon wrapped bacon and we are so glad we took him up ok it. We did order the inside out French onion soup grilled cheese which were just ok. I am a French onion soup snob and thought I could have pulled that one off better. Still good though. Entrees were good portions - the skirt steak was enough for two people in my opinion. Very tasty topped with a Korean glaze and micro greens. Wish I tried a specialty cocktail and left room for the cookies and milk!

My friends and I had a poor first experience at Rx Boiler Room last night. We arrived around 10:15pm looking for dinner. The restaurant was mostly empty except for a couple of bar patrons, 2 or 3 four tops and a party of 12 (or so) in the back. We were a party of 7, and it took the hostess a few minutes to figure out where to seat us. The table selected needed to he cleaned so we waited a few minutes for that to happen. This was the first of several red flags for the night as it was over 5 minutes for the staff to clean and set the table After seating we ordered a round of drinks, water and some appetizers. The drinks arrived in 10 minutes, apps arrived in 15 minutes, and the waiter came around to get out dinner drink order. We had to ask for appetizer plates. Twice. Eventually they arrived. Another 10 minutes elapsed while the waiter informed a member if our party that her light beer wasn't available. Strange that they have Miller Lite and Bud Light but no Coors Light? Anyway, drink order was still incomplete as I was asked three times about which beer I had ordered (Innis and Gunn, off the menu). The food was decent. Not outstanding for the price, but acceptable. Approaching 45 minutes since our arrival, still no 2nd round and we hadn't ordered dinner. We made the decision to leave and a member of our party approached the manager. The manager apologized (ok) and then proceeded to claim no knowledge of a problem (hmm), blame us for not saying something sooner (not ok), and then had the temerity to ask us to give his restaurant another try. FAIL. Sorry, mate. The manager should know what's going on. When he sees apps on the table, menus still on the table, no app plates, no drinks and it's been a while... He should stop by and ask if we are ok. Instead he didn't engage, and as a result he lost is as customers. And I'm sharing our poor experience with other Yelpers in hopes that you won't suffer as we did. Epilogue: We walked to another restaurant in Mandalay Place, arriving a few minutes after 11. Within minutes we were seated, our drink order was promptly filled and food was quickly served. We finished, happily full, at 11:45. Rx Boiler Room, take that as a lesson on how to serve customers.

One of the best food\bar locations in Las Vegas. The food here is great and is cooked as you'd like but everything you get has a distinctive taste you can't get anywhere else like the what the chef would eat burger or the Bbq Mac and cheese. If I could summarize this all in one word.. Delicious

I find myself getting rather jaded. After trying this new restaurant and that new restaurant it is impossible not to notice the similarities and grow a little bored. So many dishes show up the same on many different menus, so how can we fail to compare? My friend and I started with the inside out french onion grilled cheese and the chicken pot pie nuggets. Both were pretty good. The pot pie nuggets were very similar to the ones served at View Wine Bar. I was excited to see Niman Ranch skirt steak as an entree. This is a cut of beef I really enjoy. I asked what it was served with since there was no further description on the menu. She said it had micro herbs, so I also got the side of asparagus. I was disappointed when my steak came drowned in sauce and wish the server had mentioned that. I like skirt steak because of its flavor and thought they could have used a lighter hand with the sauce or it could have been under the steak. It wasn't bad, it was just strong and used too judiciously. *Pet peeve alert* When servers mess up the food description. I won't bore you with details, but sorry, I don't think arugula is an herb. Don't BS me. The biggest disappointment was the dessert, probably the worst I have had in quite a while. It was called Pie Americana and was pretty much put together as an apple crisp with a puff pastry twist as garnish. Restaurant Sin: Putting a warm component (apple filling) in a cold dish. How lazy can you be? The apples were dry and the puff twist was stale. I was especially disappointed because I remember having an outstanding dessert at RM Seafood last year and thought the desserts would be done to a similar standard, if more casual. I mean, apple desserts are not hard to make taste good. Yikes! On a plus side, the decor is fantastic and service was very friendly even if there were some bumps with forgotten wine and such.

I was excited to try this place out. The interior looks great! I liked everything about the decor. We ordered oysters, French onion grilled cheese, and steak. The description and ingredients on the menu sound so delicious. I felt everything was mediocre. I was disappointed. The price for what I got really turns me off. I don't mind the small portions that are neatly plated. I wasn't impressed by what we ordered and did not feel that it was worth the price at all. The service was very slow and there were many empty tables. Don't find myself coming back.

Ugh. I was so disappointed with my experience there. The food was okay, but nothing special and definitely not worth the high price tag. However, it was the service that made me hate the place. 7:40: We arrived to get dinner before our show at 9:30. We were seated at 7:44, after the hostess had to check the table chart twice for a table... there were plenty of seats. My boyfriend commented that it may not be a good sign that the dining room wasn't busy yet only one table had food. We should have left then. 7:53: Manager stops by to give us the food menu (no, the hostess did not do this) and and ask if we've decided on a drink from the drink menu (on an iPad). We told him he's the first person to stop by the table since we sat down. 8ish: Waitress shows up and asks for our drink order. 8:10: drinks arrive. Finally. Only good part about the whole dinner. Takes our food order. We ask that it's expedited since we have a show to get to. We were told that wouldn't be a problem. 8:23: Appetizer shows up. Chicken Pot Pie bites. Nothing to write home about. 8:40: Haven't seen our waitress in that past half and hour and still no dinner. There are only 6 other groups in the large dining room. We flag down another waitress who gets the manager to see where our food is. Waitress finally shows up and says that food is coming "soon". 8:47: Dinner FINALLY comes. I had lobster pasta. Boyfriend had the sturgeon. Both were "eh". Had to scarf it down since we were in a time crunch. We ask for our check. 8:55: Once more, flag down another waitress to take our check since ours is MIA... Again. 9:05: Get the hell out of there and head to our show. Thankfully it's in the hotel, so we weren't late. Agreed to never, ever go to Boiler Room again.

Visited The Boiler Room while here in Las Vegas on an assignment. We just sort of wandered in being in sort of "mall like" area of the hotel and there wasn't the usual fan fare that seemingly surrounds every other Vegas restaurant, especially on The Strip. Walked up, received a greeting with a smile, got seated right away. Decor and vibe in the restaurant was interesting, I would describe it as a cross between a more modern Ivy League library, meets rock & roll ultra lounge with a little bit of House of Blues mixed. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks on the menu and she had an upbeat stylish Goth vibe going on, she did a great job. Food presentation was very good and everything tasted really good. Even the Bus Person was right on top of making sure that water was topped off and tableware cleared at the right times. Two thumbs up, check it out, I would recommend it, Boiler Room is the kind of place where You could take pretty much anybody, friends, clients, family etc.....

The duck from the lettuce wrap is soooo salty. The beet salad and roasted Brussels sprout were terrible. The only dishes that were decent were the bite sized chicken pot pie and the mini fish tacos. Will never return.

They are never open when their own website says they are, and yelp, and every other site- tried last night and they closed at 10, tonight their site said 11pm, as does yelp and we are standing out front watching them clean up with a rope blocking the door... Sounded awesome and we were really excited but now we'll never know & have to scramble to make a new dinner plan at 10:30pm

So, Rick Moonen decided to get rid of RM Seafood's 2nd floor and turn that space to Rx Boiler Room - a gastropub version of RM so it's a totally different vibe. Dimly lit, velvety seats and curtains, leatherette tables and servers strutting in corsets. Rick Moonen going to our table and chatting with us. There's one menu item I didn't fall in love with from RM and that's his lobster roll and I was surprised to see it on Rx's menu - I stayed away from that. They have an interesting drink menu but I can't really remember the drink names because they're soooo long like the Mario (something) Wrong Warp (something). I wanted to try it but my attention span went out the door upon reading the name. We tried chicken pot pie nuggets, inside out French onion grilled cheese, bacon-wrapped bacon n egg, braised oxtail croquettes Dijonnaise, Moonen tater tots, Johnny's big dry-aged burger. For dessert, we had the matcha panna cotta and the pie Americana. Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets: Fried pot pie balls with carrots, peas, chicken bits and a bit of soup inside. It's like the Western version (fried and fatty) of xiaolongbao (Chinese steamed soup dumplings). Great idea but the nuggets could use a bit more soup in them. 3/5 Inside Out French Onion Grilled Cheese: Provolone, parmesan and gruyere in the crispy sammie sliced diagonally topped with pickles and served with a warm, slightly onion-y beefstock dip. French onion soup meets grilled cheese, basically. 4/5 Bacon-Wrapped Bacon n Egg: Toasted brioche with tomato jam, thick piece of bacon topped with a sunny side up quail egg, sprinkled with black sesame and chives with pea mousse on the side. My favorite dish of the evening...and quite possibly of any of Rick Moonen's creative ideas thus far. I'm not even a fan of runny egg yolks...or egg yolks, period! But I imagined how they painstakingly cracked each tiny quail egg and fried them - I appreciate the patience that went into making this lovely dish. You got textures (crunchy, fatty, creamy) and flavors that compliment each other. There were 3 of us and a baby at the table and I ate 2 out of 3 (sorry, unfortunate person who didn't get to try one. You snooze, you lose). I had to do it. 5/5 Braised Oxtail Croquettes Dijonnaise: As the name implies...Dijon + mayonnaise = Dijonnaise. Two of my least favorite things combined to create something that actually wasn't bad. The croquettes were more like fried mozzarella sticks in appearance but had savory and mildly sweet oxtail. Dip it in lemon aioli...oh my! 5/5 Moonen Tater Tots and Johnny's Big Dry-Aged Burger: Shawn got a medium rare burger (what a shocker!) with double the truffle cheese so I got tater tots (comes with ketchup and tartar sauce) to go with it. The tots tasted better dipped in tartar sauce. The burger was very messy to eat. It has pickles, lettuce, tomato jam, Balsamic onions and your choice of cheese from the cheese plate (truffle, fontina, brie, cheddar or bleu). The cheese that was added onto the burger didn't taste truffle-y at all and was more like brie...double brie isn't that good. 3/5 Mahalo Matcha Panna Cotta: Matcha green tea panna cotta in a generous serving topped with macadamia nut tuile, li-hung mui pineapples and passionfruit sorbet. Loved this dessert an it was worth skipping the gym for. Creamy mild green tea panna cotta and tart passionfruit sorbet. 5/5 Pie Americana: Classic apple pie re-imagined served with vanilla ice cream and walnuts. 4/5 These are your basic comfort food items. Anyone knows how to make these dishes and most restaurants have them. But what's brilliant is reinventing the same dishes and making them seem interesting. I'm still hoping they could re-invent their lobster rolls though. Service was good although there was some sort of confusion...with the complimentary bread which we didn't get.

Was with a party of six for Valentine's Day and service was despicable, and the food was mediocre at best. When our wait staff wasn't MIA, they inattentively placed plates and left the numerous empty glasses and dirty plates on the table. When the wait staff spilled half a glass of water (3 spills total) on my friend's plate, my friend cleaned it up with a napkin that was never replaced. No music in the side room to top off the awkwardness. After our meal was finished and $68 was automatically included for the shittiest service (New Yorkers and LA folks in the group) we approached the manager who was entirely dismissive and could not care less. But then again didn't seem to be a stranger to complaints. Do not waste your time or money. There are SO many better places to go in the city.

Saw an mlife video(on the flight to vegas) advertising their signature "inside out french onion soup grilled cheese, they even have pictures on their website. It looked an sounded amazing, and was the motivation behind our visit there. The restaurant was unbareably warm. We inquired about the grilled cheese, the woman said they no longer served it, but had something extremely similar. It wasn't. The server asked if we wanted water, then asked if we wanted sparkling or flat, we said flat. She came back with 2 open bottles of water (which we later founf out were 8 dollars a bottle). The service was poor at best, however the food was delicious and very decently portioned. We had the mac and chesse (smokey and perfectly spicy, the highlight of the meal), a decent salad, and the peking duck lettuce wraps were huge (it was a bit salty but balanced well with the sweet sauce) and very tasty as well. Overall the service was poor but the food was good.

This place has s really cool vibe. Great service! The drinks are great! The food is a fresh take on comfort food. We had the chicken pot pie and french onion inside out sandwich for apps. We shared the Hen and waffles and the shellfish Shepard's pie! The desert was interesting but good! I would recommend coming here before or after a show at Mandalay Bay. We are about to see Aziz Ansari

Everything is TINY. If you see a photo of any food, think of it as really being at least 1/2 the size you have pictured in the head. TINY as in unimaginably small compared to what you expected. You'll laugh and think $16 bucks for these three items that are only twice the size of a US quarter. Cool decor and interesting wait staff.. Just don't visit if you're hungry.

Eric the bartender is an amazing mixologist. Creative drinks mixed in a totally cool steampunk atmosphere. The price is decent too based on the high quality drinks you are receiving. Definitely try the smoked whiskey cola. I wish I had time for more drinks here but I will definitely be back on my next Vegas visit.

Mixologist was able to break down our drink ingredient by ingredient. These are some detailed cocktails if you love that experience. I do and this was a favorite stop on this trip. Loved the Some Like it Hot. Light & refreshing. Husband had Papa's Got a Brand New Bag. Would like more vegetarian options on their appetizers menu. What I did view was creative. I just didn't try anything.

There's no way I can write about RX Boiler Room without giving it the highest praise. What a super spot and boy does it make it easy to have dinner with a fussy wife (did I say that?) Last night was KNPR night at Cirque's Michael Jackson One. m I looked at the menu and found that there was enough here for her to eat. Eating tapas portions is great because you can try different things without getting something you're not particularly fond of. We were quickly brought the iced teas we ordered and then we ordered the following from the Dips and Bites section of the menu: For me--chicken liver pÃ¢tÃ© with a port wine jelly on top. It was delicious and something I can enjoy because Andrea wouldn't even touch the glass if I paid her to do it, even double dared! We also got an order of Inside Out French Onion Grilled Cheese and an order of Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets. The cheese sandwich has three kinds of cheese and the caramelized onions from onion soup in the sandwich. The "soup" is a small metal container of the au jus from onion soup. The Chicken Pot Pie bites are wonderful! Small, deep fried tater tot shaped goodness with peas and carrots inside the nuggets. Boy, were they good! That about did it for normal food so it was on to dessert. Andrea got their Peach cobbler and our server warned her it wasn't a standard peach cobbler but had cinnamon ice cream with... At that point, Andrea stopped her and said, "I'll have that!" Just say cinnamon and it will be good. I ordered the greent tea panna cotta that had small bits of fruit and pieces of macadamia nuts on top. It was also very, very good. Now about the service, Chef Moonen, whoever did the hiring and the training for your new restaurant deserves a raise! Everyone, whether they were associated with our table or not, was king, polite, and had a pleasant smile and were very accommodating. Our server, Alex, was a pure delight. She knew the menu inside out, knew how to describe the food, recommended some things, and was a very efficient and pleasant server. The runner who brought the food was also smiling and friendly. When we were leaving, I saw an elevator and I asked if it was for use by the general public. One of their staff said of course and called the elevator for us. It saved a number of steps to the other side of the Mandalay Place Shops and we exited right outside the casino. One final mention about Alex. She had on this red bustier type top and short shorts! I almost asked her if I could take her photo, but that would have almost been an outrageous request for obvious reasons. She was a delight, visually and professionally. If you read this, Alex, let me know if it's OK for next time! Chef Moonen, the person who hired should get a raise. Hint, hint! I can't wait to go back and try some more of their goodies and I think I've sold my wife on tapas style dinners.

Terrible service don't got to this place if you have a party of 10 or more it will take over 2 hours from the time you order your entree until you get it and unless you are a fan of food poisoning stay away from anything thing that contains fish, and then when you go and tell the manager people in you party got sick from eating there you'll get offered to comeback the next day for a drink. Never again

Rx is the recently remodeled upstairs lounge for the old timer RM Seafood just inside Mandalay Place. The place was designed with steampunk in mind, but I think one too many items were value engineered out of the original design because it doesn't quite successfully portray that look in my opinion. There are a few neat elements inside the space, but it's a far cry from what I would envision if I heard someone call it a steampunk themed restaurant. The fake gears, empty beakers and slightly cool light fixtures hardly make it steampunk. The menu features many overpriced small bites as well as full meals, and don't forget to check out their overpriced drink menu on one of their iPads for mostly $14-16 cocktails that are extremely small. We ordered two Johnny's Big Dry-Aged Burgers, which come with lettuce, house-made pickles, tomato jam and balsamic onions. Up until this point our waitress was fine, but when she asked if we wanted any sides with the two $18 burgers we just ordered, I asked (and assumed) if they came with fries. Her response was, "it's a burger" and gave us a very blank stare. Not quite the response I would have given, but ok. So we ordered one side of fries as this meal was already adding up pretty quickly. One of our burgers was ordered medium, and the other medium rare, so when they were brought out and placed in front of us without any noticeable markings we asked the server which was which and were presented with another semi-dickish response: "I put the right one in the right spot". Ok whatever. The bun was extremely dry, so dry in fact that we could tell as soon as we picked up our burgers. The tomato jam was non-existent, and the thousand island type sauce added another odd bitterness that wasn't quite great but also not incredibly prominent. I got the perception that the meat was just ok quality, and it could have very well been a premade patty based on its form, but because the patties are apparently made from dry-aged prime as opposed to ground beef, I'm not sure what to think. It was cooked well, close to the medium rare I ordered, but there was a bitter char flavor that was a bit too prominent when tasted on its own. The caramelized onions were a bit too crunchy and not cooked enough either. Overall this was a total fail, forget even comparing it to the one downstairs. And to top it off, the fries sucked. They were close to those of In-N-Out, but not quite as good. Some were cooked well, but many were very undercooked and soggy. We then found out after we got our bill that these fries cost $9!!!! That is just f$@!ing ridiculous, I'm actually angry that I had to pay that much for fries, even given the larger portion you get. And speaking of our bill let me jump back a bit. My fiancÃ©e liked her burger far less than I did; the overly dry bun caused her to initially remove the top portion and only eat half the bun, but she eventually went to just eating the toppings and patty with a fork and knife. Because of this she was forced to sample the full bitter flavor of the char that was on these patties, and it was too much for her. I didn't notice this flavor as much when it was mixed with my bun and various toppings, although I did catch a few bitter bites towards the end of mine when there wasn't much else left. After much nervous deliberation on her part, I told her to say something to our waitress and get a different meal. Our waitress asked what was wrong and we explained the bitter char flavor and dry bun. She tried to claim it was because the patty was made with prime and not ground beef, so it had a different flavor we might not be used to. We tried to argue it wasn't that, but maybe an unclean grill or just the method it is cooked with, and she then countered that it could be the tomato jam, and that many people order without. We explained we've had tomato jam before and this certainly wasn't it. Whatever the explanation may be, in this instance the customer is always right, stop arguing weird details, apologize and take a new order. In the end her burger and replacement salad were both taken care of, along with an additional $4 towards my burger, and the manager came over to assure us that the grill was very clean. Either way this was just way too expensive of a meal for what we got. If nothing was comped for this meal, it would have cost us $75 for two drinks, two burgers and one side of fries; or in other words far too much money for what you get. I don't care if this is a Strip location or not, places starting to charge $5+ to add 50 cents worth of potato to my already overpriced burger is getting absurd, and I will seriously start calling places out for it. Even with one burger removed, our replacement meal not being charged, and an additional $4 off this meal was still $57.29 before tip which is just insane. This burger sucked, this experience sucked, and we paid far too much for it.

came late on Monday night right as the kitchen was closing, but they were willing to keep it open so we could get a meal. It was fantastic food, and the service was over the top! Cocktails are top-notch and the atmosphere was nice. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our evening, mainly due to our server Rachel.

The aesthetic of this place is really great and pretty much what drew my friends and I into it. The steampunk theme is great but the food and the service was so-so. In terms of food: We got the chicken pot pie nuggets which were alright, but they were oddly salty on the outside when the salt was needed on the inside. The bacon wrapped bacon and egg was really good and needed to be eaten in one bite to get the best experience of it, but we're slightly too big for that. My osso buco Greek style was AMAZING and just what I wanted. The Mac and cheese was also fantastic and I loved that they had a wheel macaroni which you just never see in restaurants. In terms of service: our waiter and some of the other staff were very attentive but a little socially awkward. We were also sitting next to a table that seemed to be ordering like ballers so they were being doted on and it was super obvious that they took precedent. It makes sense but it made our dinner feel a bit weird. In the end, I didn't have a bad time, but our dinner just felt really off. We just expected more. I don't think we'll come back but at the same time I wouldn't say NOT to go here. It was interesting to try.

Fun interior, super staff and astoundingly quiet for vegas. Food was well crafted and the bar staff prompt and well informed. a must go when in vegas; I would take clients there.

One word to describe this place: amazing! I don't know what other people are talking about with the service but we had an excellent server named Fred who took care of us all night, as well as the manager who checked in on our meal twice and other staff who brought the food and water. Everyone was so attentive and friendly. The decor was beautiful as well. I wouldn't say it is steam punk as others have mentioned but more like London Gothic/eclectic with the red drapes and various curios around. The bar decor reminds me of an apothecary with all the Erlenmeyer flasks. And of course the food. My boyfriend and I started with the Moonen seafood sausage dogs that Rick Moonen made in a quickfire on Top Chef Masters. We were so excited to try them since we are big fans of the show and they did not disappoint! The sausage is actually quite hearty and perfectly complemented by the sauerkraut and potato chips sprinkled on top for some crunch. For the main course I had the seafood shepherd's pie which was so delicious. There was tons of scallops, shrimp, and king crab as well as carrots and peas in a yummy sauce with mashed potatoes on top. My boyfriend had the bucket of game hen. They were chicken wings but had the most succulent, moist meat and a super crispy seasoned breading. We didn't get to try any of the cocktails or dessert because we were feeling pretty broke by the end of the meal but we will definitely be back to eat next time we're in Vegas!

Happy hour drinks and apps are awesome! Chicken pot pie nuggets are legit! Plus bacon wrapped bacon... Downside, strip prices.

This has become one of my favorite Las Vegas places for eats and cocktails. Chef Moonen has put together a stellar small plate menu and many amazing appetizers to choose from. The decor and drink selections are fantastic.

Stopped in here for their happy hour which looked promising. Sat down at the bar & the bartenders (2 were working with only 6 other patrons at the bar) were a little slow to acknowledge our party. Finally got our happy hour menu & looked that over. It took over 10 minutes for the bartender to come back to us take our drink orders & they only take some of them. He walks away & then I have to flag them down again to get them to take the rest of the parties orders. WTH? He would never make eye contact when walking around so you couldn't grab his attention (either one of them for that matter.) Food was mediocre & "nothing to write home about" as stated by some of my party & the rest agreed. Our bill was screwed up at the end as well & rather than trying to get a bartender's attention we let it be as it wasn't too much money (under $5.) It seemed the bartenders were more concerned about joking around with another party that was at the bar than taking care of all the customers. And the joking comments they were making (as we could hear them) was quite rude in all honesty. Sadly disappointed in this place & never will try it again.

Ate here 3 months ago and still craving: the Mac and Cheese (all-the-way smooth creamy and rich) the Fried Game Hen basket (you will never see fried chicken the same again) Fun, chill atmosphere with very friendly and attentive staff. I can imagine this place is underrated by a full star because it may be a bit pricey. But in my mind it's worth it. If I am still dreaming of food I had 3 months ago, that's 5 stars in my book. Related note: this place is similar but better than Gordon Ramsay's Pub at Caesars. Gourmet comfort food vibe.

This review is just for the buffalo tossed oysters. So amazing. I love the atmosphere and the consistently great quality.

Located inside the Mandalay Bay across from the Minus 5 bar, Rx Boiler Room is a great place to have dinner or grab a quick drink. I came here for restaurant week a few months ago with my boyfriend and a couple friends. I dig it. I can't quite remember what I had, but I think it was a chicken dish. Obviously nothing to rave home about because I can barely remember what it was. My friends got the skirt steak meal, which looked pretty good. Loved their unique cocktails and desserts. I got the milk and cookies which are served up fresh and hot on a slate with a little carafe of milk. Adorable. The ambiance is dark and kinda folk-artsy. It's cute. Think Burning Man but all foodied up lol... The service was great. They gave pretty good suggestions with what to do for restaurant week. I'd love to come by here again to check out the rest of the items on their menu. Definitely one of Mandalay Bay's finer restaurant options.

Went all the way back to vegas just to eat at this restaurant! I must have had half of the menu now and I LOVED every bite of it. You have to try the squid-e-o's. The cocktails are always delicious and different. I really enjoy the tasteful steampunk decor and even the servers are dressed up in goggles and funky things. I can't wait to go back again and again

So you have a fascination with steampunk? And you feel like having some bar food for dinner? Well then, it would be a huge mistake to come here. Don't say I didn't warn you. We arrived to find an almost empty restaurant at 9 PM on a friday night - a telltale sign - but I was excited to check out this steampunk-themed restaurant that I long to visit. I noticed that the place has a few gear motifs here and there and a few really cool and exotic sculptures. Besides that, it was just an open space with tables and chairs. Already, I felt disappointed. But the real disappointment came when our food arrived. There were four of us and we ordered the bacon wrapped bacon and egg, oxtail sticks, chicken pot pie nuggets, cheese charcuterie, mac n cheese and potato fries. Our whole party liked the oxtail and the bacon wrapped bacon n egg but we could not get over the fact that these mediocre items were costing us almost 5 times the costs if we were to get these items elsewhere. I don't feel right paying $9 for a bucket of fries that tasted exactly like fries at McDonalds. Or paying $14 for a tiny bowl of mediocre mac n cheese. If only their drinks were better to make up for the terrible eating experience but that would be asking too much of the Rx Boiler Room, as I ordered the Some like it hot cocktail and was terribly disappointed at this drink as well. Stay away, unless you just don't care about the price - or the food - and just want to come in to look at the cool sculptures.

We're back the very next night! Our beautiful server is Julie. We HAD to have smoked whisky again with those DTF surf and turf sliders. We also tried the bacon wrapped bacon - YUM!

Everything from atmosphere, to food, to service to cocktails was outstanding. On our recent trip to Vegas and stay at Mandalay Bay, we ate at a few of the more upscale/famous chef restaurants in the resort. Next time we won't waste our time or money. The food here was outstanding while not overly pretentious. We did small plates to get a good variety. We loved the homemade pickles and the buffalo fried oysters. Don't let the mall setting (Located in the shoppes at Mandalay) be a turnoff, once you step inside the cozy atmosphere and steam punk decor will win you over. Special shoutout to our server Julie. Probably the most attentive, professional yet friendly server I've ever experienced. The girl not only knows her job, but loves her job! Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Wow... In a bad way. If you want small portions, sub quality food, and okay service... Come here. I ordered a sushi roll at happy hour and there was barely any fish in the roll. It was all rice. Poor execution.

We went out of our way to come here for dinner based on the reviews. (It's way down the strip) We were in Las Vegas in over Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend. As a party of two on a Saturday night, we were in the minority, as most of the other tables were much larger groups. The big group in our section may have contributed to the problem, but I think a restaurant like this should be able to handle it. Basically everything went wrong. First round of drinks took 20 minutes to come out, one of the more popular entrees wasn't available, our appetizer never came out, the kitchen gave one of our entrees to another table, and after all that, the registers went offline, so we couldn't use our card to pay. I ended up going into the casino to find an ATM to pay in cash. Our waiter tried to make all of it up to us throughout dinner with a different appetizer on the house, a free round, and apologizing a lot. It wasn't his fault specifically and we were polite the whole time, but it was probably in the top five worst dinners I have had at a restaurant. The food and drinks that we did have were only mediocre to boot.

I am a huge top chef fan so I wanted to go to a casual restaurant by a chef I watched on the show. Rx Boiler Room was a solid choice. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. Drinks were amazing. I had the barbarella and a Moscow mule. The food was good...not OMG amazing, but solid. We had chicken pot pie balls, bacon and eggs appetizer, and I had the fish of the day, which was Bronzino. Also had the side of Brussels sprouts which was my favorite item. The ambiance is cute, bartenders and waitresses nice. No complaints really...but not sure I would go back or recommend other than for a drink at the bar.

I have a feeling this place will not be around much longer. So I have been to the Rx Boiler Room twice. The first time was with a large group of friends right around when it had just opened. We met Rick Moonen and his wife and tried almost everything on the menu. Had great service and great food. The place was hopping too. The steampunk theme is really cool, you want to just hang out. and have some weird cocktails. 4 STAR experience. The second time, we had family in town and thought it'd be a fun place to take them. It was a Friday night around 7 and the place was surprisingly dead but the music was really loud, so don't expect to hold a decent conversation here. I tried to order one of their specialty drinks but were out of one of the ingredients...BOO! We ordered some apps and large plates. The thing I was most excited about getting again were the Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets. They were good, but something was different, I think it's the outside coating, they just didn't make me crave them again like they did the first time. We ate all of our food, it was good,...but just not as good as that first time. The service was so-so. 3 STAR experience. I'd tell you what we got and tell you how it was but I don't feel like it's worth my time or yours. If you have to go, get a drink and maybe one app, snap some pictures. Then get out of there, Mandalay Bay is full of better places to eat. I can say that I got it out of my system, I don't need to go back, even if they are still open a year from now (which I doubt.)
