Customer Reviews
I've been here a few times over the years as I have family who goes to the casino and likes to take us to eat here. Honestly it's kind of a drag; the food overall isn't great but isn't awful, but the service is slow even when it's not busy. The wait staff is nice but forgets to bring drinks or is not attentive. To go more into detail on the food, the quality varies depending on what you get and between different components of a single meal. Seems like any meat and seafood is prepared well, but vegetables less so. When I ordered the vegetable risotto, I thought it was bland, and the asparagus and tomatoes were over-cooked but the brussels sprouts weren't cooked enough. I ordered the seared scallops last time and the scallops were excellent as was the salmon I tried from one of my family mem
We had reservations @ 8pm. When we arrived, we waited 10 minutes for a hostess to come to the front desk. She wasn’t friendly at all & she said the kitchen was behind so we won’t be seated for 30 minutes. We ended up waiting 45 minutes past our reservation time. Then, we waited 15 minutes at our table before our waitress came over to get our drink order. Waited another 15 minutes for her to bring the bottle of wine. There was an awful stench throughout the restaurant for some reason as well. We heard the table next to us complain about their food so we were hesitant to order big meals. I ordered the Mac and cheese which looked good at first, but it was SOOO SALTY it was completely inedible and the bacon was raw. 🤢 The breadsticks were like hockey pucks, could’ve broken a tooth on them.

Excellent service. We were seated quickly and had a really attentive and friendly waitress. Our food came out fast and was piping hot. Our entrees were delicious. They made us amaretto coffee to go with a delicious cherry cobbler for dessert.
Service was friendly but bread and appetizers came out together. then 5 minutes later our entree’s came out we had to tell them we were not ready. The place was so loud it was like a dive bar atmosphere. And the food itself was very low quality and after examining it and taking my leftovers and showing some other people, we realize the steak meat is synthetic man-made beef and fish at high quality prices !
The portions are ridiculously small and high priced. Example, $42. Ish for 4 scallops, 50.00 for a tiny piece of steak. Read that menu good, a child portion is what you will receive! Never again. Go to a dinner then go gamble. Or your gambling starts when you eat there.
