 | 	- It's my birthday and I was looking and looking on Yelp to find the right place to enjoy dinner out with my sweetheart of 16 years!  After much looking at menus online, I finally decided on Cholla Prime Steakhouse that is inside Casino Arizona.  (I'm not much for casinos, but it's sooo close to home and why not try it?)    
     We got there right around 5pm when they open and were seated and greeting right away.  Each and every employee was very helpful and attentive throughout.  The menu was exactly as the website had shown (some restaurants are totally off on what they have online vs. in the restaurant.)  We each ordered steak meals.   I ordered an appetizer of Seafood Bisque.  OMG, I think it may have been the best one I've ever had!  Luscious, creamy and chocked full of shrimp, small scallops and crab meat.  Our server was Linda and she was so wonderful and was available and helpful and just perfect!  The manager, Joy, was checking in too and that made it even more special... sometimes we can't tell who is asking how our dinner is going.
      We were served about 6 slices of three kinds of breads, along with a pesto and soft rounds of butter.  Very nice.  There was a sorbet in between the appetizer and the entree!  I can't remember when that's happened, it's been so long!  (OK, OK... we haven't been to an upscale place in a long while...)   But Cholla wasn't the Putting on Airs type of fancy... it was a very comfortable place to be, and being waited on as if we were in a place that charges twice as much!   
      My partner had the Full House which was a Filet Mignon with Shrimp and she chose garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus.   I had the Ribeye with asparagus and scalloped potatoes.  The meat was cooked exactly to our requests.  Everything was DELICIOUS!  
      Let me sing and dance about our truly truly delightful and scrumptious dinner at Cholla.  We will definitely come back with friends and anyone who will join us!
