Nestled on the grounds of MGM Northfield Park, Valley’s Edge Steak & Seafood offers a savory selection of wood-fired steaks, delicious seafood and a host of gourmet entrees and desserts. Award-winning Executive Chef Chris Poplin has taken great care to craft a menu that is both new and approachable.

With contemporary lighting, luxurious flooring and artistic wall finishes, the interior design of the restaurant marries a sense of local style with Las Vegas panache. The walls are adorned with works from local artisans, so there is always something beautiful to capture your gaze.

The menu is led by savory cuts of beef with options such as a center cut filet, house smoked herbed prime rib, USDA Prime New York strip and the plate filling 20 oz. bone in ribeye. Not to be ignored is the Faroe Island salmon with roasted sweet potatoes, arugula, asparagus, tomato confit and maple glaze, or the succulent twin lobster tails with smoked paprika, lemon and drawn butter.

If steak and seafood doesn’t strike your fancy, fear not. The extensive menu has you covered with dishes such as the pan seared chicken breast with cannellini beans, cabbage, green beans, tomato coulis and roast chicken jus, or the savory ravioli primavera with cauliflower, grape tomatoes, wild mushrooms, sweet potato, fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil.

Now, don’t get full just yet, your sweet tooth needs some love, too. The carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and ginger crystals is out of this world, and the red velvet cheesecake is almost too pretty to eat, but please eat it, you’ve tasted nothing like it as the flavors that you didn’t know would pair so well together bring a smile to your face.

Whether you choose an intimate table, luxurious booth, casual high top or a seat at the bar, you won’t be far from a superior selection of local craft beers, international wines or one-of-a-kind spirits. Should you have bourbon aficionados in attendance, Valley’s Edge has a treat for them.

On a trip to Bardstown Kentucky, the Valley’s Edge Food & Beverage team sampled and selected a barrel of bourbon from the legendary Heaven Hill Distillery. The distillery, established in 1935, produces 1,300 barrels a year, but one unique barrel that spent eight years maturing in warehouse “H” will only be available at the restaurants and bars on the grounds of MGM Northfield Park.

With your first sip of the Elijah Craig MGM Barrel Bourbon, you can taste how the history of the barrel, the richness of the corn, rye and barley, all marry with Kentucky’s limestone filtered water. Whether you’re a connoisseur or new to this historic  spirit, you’ll know you are tasting something very special.

Valley’s Edge is also known for creating themed dinners, past favorites have been the “Titanic Dinner” based on the ship’s menu and other historical references to recreate the 10-course meal served to the first-class passengers. Another popular dinner was based on the 1972 film “The Godfather,” with each course paired with wine from the Francis Ford Coppola winery. And yes, there was cannoli.

Entertainment can enhance the perfect date night and it’s clear that Valley’s Edge does not disappoint. There are so many things for adults to see and do on the MGM Northfield Park property that it quickly becomes clear why their motto is, “Find Your Fun!”

Adjacent to Valley’s Edge is a state-of-the-art gaming floor with more than 1,600 video lottery terminals (VLT’s).

You can try your luck on fan favorite games, like Huff N’ Puff, or the mysteriously immersive Frankenstein. If you’re feeling frisky, wander into the high limit room to play the new Dragon Link with a potential $1 million dollar jackpot. The property has paid out more than $200 million in jackpots over the last 12 months, so don’t let someone else have all the fun!

Not a gambler? Not a problem. In addition to its gaming floor, MGM Northfield Park is home to Center Stage, an 1,800-seat concert venue with a dazzling light and sound system.
