| - Perhaps my expectations were higher than they should be given the solid overall 4 stars on Yelp and the fact that the host of the evening raved about this (and took us away from a different casino with ample steakhouse choices to come here). I wasn't overwhelmed, but wasn't underwhelmed either - would leave it as an A-OK. The service was fine, but as the only female at a table with 6 other men, I would have expected that they would have served me first from a manners perspective, and that wasn't the case (the waitress took my salad order and then moved on, and left the table before realizing that she hadn't taken my entree order as she had everyone else's). I started with the Iceberg Lettuce Wedge (Danish blue cheese, toasted walnuts, bacon, cherry tomatoes,
chives and fried onions - although I asked them to go light on the bacon). This was a good wedge and I went for the slightly smaller option, which was plenty. As my main, I had the 9 ounce Filet Mignon, cooked medium. It was cooked to perfection and the steak was certainly tasty. For the family style sides, I tried the Goat Cheese Whipped Potatoes and I do love me some goat cheese, which you could taste in the potatoes, but I think they needed a bit more whipping as they were lumpy. For dessert, we shared the doughnuts in a bag (and they do come to the table in a bag) and they were just OK. The wines we had were both great. All in all, it was a good evening (and one I wasn't paying for), however, I expect a bit more consistency at these types of prices at a restaurant, so that's why I'm giving it a solid 3-star rating.
