Andiron Steak & Sea is situated in the downtown Summerlin shopping strip of Las Vegas. It doesn’t offer your typical omelets and French toast type of brunch. Andiron boasts a chic decor, and a playlist that features ’80s and’90s best hits—talk about nostalgia.

Andiron features a Sunday-only brunch menu that includes an assortment of bottomless champagne cocktails, and a build-your-own Bloody Mary. Andiron is great for families and friends, or if you have neither, that random co-worker who sits three desks down from you. There is room for all, because Andiron can seat up to 150 hungry guests.
