| - Came here for Thanksgiving dinner since the wait for Studio B was 4 to 5 hours!
Basically the upscale steak restaurant for the casino with all the typical upscale steak house apps, etrees, and desserts. For Thanksgiving, they had a prix fixe menu for $45/person.
The place was pretty packed, since it was the holidays. Only two, in our party of five, ordered the special Thanksgiving dinner. The grilled mahi mahi, prime rib, and lobster ravioli were the other entrees ordered. A spinach salad and shrimp cocktail were the a la cart appetizers we ordered.
The prix fixe menu included choice of french onion soup or some squash soup, turkey with stuffing, and a choice of a dessert. There were no complaints for any of the dishes and the serving size of the turkey was enough for two. The shrimp cocktail consisted of three extremely large shrimp, at least 21/25, and a host of condiments. I thought the serving dish was a little too large for the three shrimps, but that is an easy mistake to overlook. The spinach salad (my app), was just the way I liked it, not too much dressing, with the flavors of the ingredients coming through. The grilled mahi mahi was cooked nicely, not dry and not too greasy. The mango chutney also complimented the fish and rice nicely. My brothers had no complaints of the prime rib or lobster ravioli. Overall, the food was average to above average for an upscale steak restaurant.
What brought down the overall rating was the service. When I eat at an upscale restaurant, I expect the quality of service to match the quality of food. We rarely saw or heard from our server. Granted it was busy, but the restaurant is supposed to be able to handle that, or else why put in so many tables/seats. My ice tea was refilled three times over the course of an hour. Many times, my request for more ice tea had to be repeated.
It is a shame the service at this restaurant could not be better. From the other reviews, the happy hour sounds pretty good, but I don't think I would come back for non-happy hour meals.
