Adria serves coastal Italian cuisine inspired by the Adriatic coast and is busy nearly every night. Starters include burrata topped with white sturgeon caviar, fritto misto with fried calamari, shrimp, and vegetables, and a seafood platter. Main courses feature halibut, branzino, and swordfish prepared in multiple ways, along with lamb chops and a traditional strip steak. Pasta options include ziti alla Genovese with beef and onion ragù, rigatoni with broccoli rabe and sausage, and linguine with clams. Desserts such as cannoli, ricotta cheesecake, and chocolate mousse are paired with chilled limoncello, with welcoming service. Golden Steer recreates a Las Vegas Strip steakhouse experience in the West Village with tufted booths, tuxedoed waiters, flaming tableside desserts, and retro entertainment references. Steaks cut in-house are praised for subtle proprietary seasoning, while some oversized dishes are seen as less compelling. Bananas Foster is presented as a fitting symbol of the fun, showy, retro atmosphere.
"The steaks-all cut in-house-are incontestably wonderful, elevated by their subtle, savory proprietary seasoning. However, the gargan-tuan portions of other dishes, such as Vegas' largest baked potato, bone marrow and the super-rich Oysters Rockefeller don't compensate for their "just pretty good" appeal. The pyrotechnical Bananas Foster dessert is a metaphor for the whole experience: fun, showy, so retro it's fresh."
