When I walked into the restaurant, the first thing that struck me was the ambience. We walked in during the dinner hour, so the lights were set low but bright enough to highlight the fantastic décor.
From the wooden panelled floors and walls to the portraits, everything lent a classy, elegant look to the place. The seats were great with light beige in stark contrast to the dark wood walls and floors and leaned a comfortable vibe to the restaurant like you could relax, smile, and have a great chat with your friends over dinner.

There was an open kitchen where you could see the chef roasting steak, and the smell of sizzling meat wafted through the air, making my mouth water. I should mention the most distinguishable part of the restaurant: the bar. The big round, white table with its glass pillar is the centrepiece. It looked great, but since I came with a friend for dinner, we didn’t stop by. Instead, we came here to dive into some delicious steak!

We started dinner with a bottle of red wine, no steakhouse is complete without a selection of red wines, and I am happy to report that the Asado American Steakhouse has a great selection. There was a great helping of steak-based dishes, ranging from classic rib eye to marbled steak cut. There were also different toppings and sauces to choose from.

We ordered some prime cuts with rodizio-style service, and the presentation was incredible. It’s hard to put into words, but everything looked clean with the right elements in the right place to make it look so pleasing. Fine dining is not just about the food, presentation is also important, and I am to report that Asado American Steakhouse nailed it.
The steak tasted great, the meat was dark pinkish hue, which is what you want from a medium-rare dish, and the spices were perfectly balanced, adding to the flavor of the meat without overwhelming our tastebuds. We savored every bite enjoying how the steal cuts seemed to melt in our mouths as we ate.

You can always tell the quality of a restaurant by its customer service. Fortunately, the waiter was great; he was friendly, and courteous, answered every question we had, and made some recommendations of his own. There was also a waiter with a pepper grinder waiting to customize our dish with extra spices, like mustard if we asked for it. We didn’t, but the additional service was great to see.

Overall, we enjoyed our time at the Asado American Steakhouse. The food was great, the ambiance perfect, and the customer service excellent. We recommend you visit this place at least once when you are in Muscat.
