We had the pleasure of dining here on Saturday evening to celebrate our son's high school graduation. We were thrilled with not only the fantastic food, but the service was first class. Our only regret is that after living in the valley for over 40 years and experiencing inconsistencies with the local 5 Star establishments...that we never came here!! The food was delicious (we had filet mignon, rib eyes and salmon) and the service was wonderful. Yes, as per some of the prior reviews, walking through the smoke filled casino is a bit of a negative, but we felt it was well worth the two minute breath holding. They also (without request) presented our son with a lovely congratulations slice of cake (I mentioned it was his graduation dinner when I made the reservation because I was a little concerned with timing and possibly being late). This will be our new place to come on a frequent basis!!
Am updating my review and changing to 3 stars. The service was wonderful as always (ILSE is great) and my husband's lamb chops and son's filet were very good;however, my rib eye was awful. I've had it there before and it was great, but tonight, it was truly inedible (gummy, thinly sliced and no taste except for the sauce). I literally had two bites. My son & husband tasted it and were shocked at just how bad it was (perhaps a bad cut of meat)? I told Ilse, but no one came to ask us about it. I will say though that I finally tried the lobster mashed potatoes and they were FANTASTIC!! This was our anniversary and eating potatoes and asparagus is not something I had planned for dinner. Not certain we will go back. I had originally downgraded to 4 stars, but my husband thought that to be too generous given that my evening was not what it should have been.
AND NO COMMENT FROM MGMT.... THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES. WOULD HAVE MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE...will never recommend again.
