If the traditional steakhouse theme seems a bit dated or even stodgy to you, then The Steakhouse at Harrah’s New Orleans will re-inspire your desire for fine steakhouse cuisine with their playful spin on the age old atmosphere. Splashes of azure blue in the booths, paintings and even the crystal-wear bring alive the accents of rich leather upholstery. The wine wall is backlit and a site to behold, the open silver brushed kitchen seems simply opulent and the amber-lit bar certainly invites you to approach. This is a grand New Orleans dining destination well worth the visit.
