Description

The Tillerman is often on any number of locals' "best of Vegas" lists, and while we agree the food is terrific, the high prices and somewhat snooty attitude make us feel we can spend our money better elsewhere.Of the four main dining rooms, the center one is the best; it's filled with plants and trees, and has high ceilings and a huge circular stained-glass window. There's additional seating on the mezzanine level, where diners enjoy treetop views. The meal begins with a relish tray and a basket of delicious oven-fresh breads. Also complimentary is a Lazy Susan salad bar served at your table, with a choice of homemade dressings, including a memorable chunky blue cheese. Portions are immense, so appetizers are really not necessary, but then again, they're too good to pass up. Especially notable: the crab cake garnished with carrot chips or the superb filet medallions in a spicy red sauce. For entrees, regulars often order the crab legs, which are excellent. The swordfish and halibut are wonderful, too, as is the shrimp in garlic cream sauce. The wine list is huge but expensive; the cheapest glass is $8. After such a large meal, a lighter dessert such as the Bavarian crème with strawberries might be in order. Skip the carrot cake in favor of the divine chocolate éclair.
