Rails Steakhouse is a modern American steakhouse offering carefully selected USDA Prime and CAB corn-fed beef, dry-aged a minimum of 28 days on-premise & hand-cut daily. We offer modern and contemporary dishes, including sustainable fresh seafood, homemade desserts, and an award-winning wine list recognized by Wine Spectator.

Attention to detail can be seen in this beautiful 20,000 sq. ft., restaurant where sprawling timber meets natural stonewalls, accents of glass showcase fire-and-water features in this luxe lodge. While all levels feature the same menu, the main dining room has a more sophisticated ambiance and Rafters on the second floor has a more casual lodge appeal. Descend to the lower level to find the secret passage that takes you to the wine cave, and Thirty 3, a speakeasy-style bar and lounge. Dine al fresco on our outdoor terraces offering spectacular views of the Pyramid Mountains. Most importantly, we want you to feel at home where our hospitality is second to none.

food was perfect. Service dropped off a bit after we received our meals, but otherwise everything was great. steaks were all cooked perfectly when making the reservation it asked if it was celebrating any occasion which, we were celebrating my girlfriends 30th, i asked if anything could be done to make it special, like a note on the menu or something, but nothing was done. not a huge deal, but i feel like most places would do something if prompted about that when making the reservation. would come back though

My experience at Rails was flawless, from the valet to the second I sat down at the table, I had an amazing woman to share this experience with, we had an amazing dinner and some perfectly prepared steaks that I bragged about to many other the following day. I think this place is one of the better steakhouses I’ve had the privilege of dining at. I would recommend this place to anyone who appreciates an amazing bite! Enjoy it make The reservation and you won’t be disappointed!

2nd visit here . First time was considerably better all around (food, ambiance, etc...). 1st visit here, we were seated in the upstairs library where the room was pleasant and serene, this time however, we were seated at a table towards the rear of the standard dining room on the 1st floor which was very noisy with a party going on on the 2nd floor, seats or tables being dragged around, small children running around screaming, it didn't do much for the atmosphere or our experience. Ordered the lamb Chops again. The first time there these were excellent and I couldn't wait to have them again but this time they were tough and chewy, a real disappointment. We mentioned it to our server, who informed the manager who took off (1) appetizer from our bill. The only saving grace was our server Lennon who was polite, attentive and not over-bearing. I might have to think twice about going back.

This restaurant does not disappoint. The menu has something for everyone. The dishes are presented beautifully and taste even better than they look. The ambiance is warm and cozy, perfect for these cold winter nights. Each floor of this restaurant tells its own story. Highly recommend checking it out for date night or party night.

I’ve gone here a few times now, every time disappointed in the food and left saying, “well, we’ll give it another chance.” This was the last time. The food is really awful. I buy better steaks at Costco. They steaks are tough and bland. The ambiance is great, and our server was awesome - so these two things are probably what keep people coming back…. The food on the other hand? There are 10 better steakhouses within a 15 minute drive.

The food was excellent. My husband never had octopus before. He was impressed with it. Steak was cooked perfectly. The bacon macaroni and cheese was wonderful. Creamy, and full of bacon flavor. Hazelnut gelato for dessert was a perfect end to the delicious meal. They even put a candle in the gelato to celebrate my husbands birthday. Will return for special occasions.
