| - The newest restaurant at the Red Rock Casino, that delivers! I'm not usually a big fan of chains since I want to support my local businesses, but this place deserves a lot of credit. However, like all new restaurants this place does have some pitfalls.
@ Parmesan Crusted Chicken - Chicken was cook perfectly with a nice crusty exterior. The chicken wasn't the least bit dry like Hash House A Go Go. While the sun-dried tomatoes and 3 mushroom sauce was delicious, it felt kind of heavy and a little strong of a sauce. The mash potatoes did help to drench this strong taste. The mash potatoes was also delicious, much better than the stuff at Lawrys, but Cheesecake Factory is still my favorite.
@ Salmon Entrée - I got to taste the salmon someone else in our group ordered. The salmon was good, however, it was seasoned very heavily. Almost overpowering much of the flavors of the salmon. If they used a little less seasoning, this dish would have been perfect.
@ Lobster Garlic Noodles - Someone else in our group got this. The lobster had a sweet and fresh taste. Like my parmesan crusted chicken, it was good, but the sauce was a little too heavy and they seem to salt the dish a little too much. Everything tasted good, but they need to go easy a little lighter on the sauce and seasoning. Maybe they want you to order more beer?
@ Crab Crusted Swordfish - Another person in our group got this. The swordfish was very tender and delicious. Like the other dishes, they went a little season crazy on this. The crab was very salty.
@ Macadamia Nut Cheesecake - You may be thinking you get cheesecake, with a small top layer of macadmia nuts on top. Its actually the opposite. You get a layer of cheesecake, composed of a rich base of macadmia nuts, drenched in a puddle of caramel. This desert just didn't work. The cake was very sweet, and I have a sweet tooth. They need to drizzle the caramel, instead of drenching it. Sticking to a traditional cheesecake with a cheese base and macadmia nut topping would work much better.
@ Crème brûlée - This desert was good. The only issue is on the menu they claim topped with chocolate, but its actually on the base. At first I was eating it without the chocolate. Then I noticed the chocolate base and got it with my vanilla custard and notice a big improvement. This dish really needs the chocolate flavor to work.
In the food department, everything was good. There are some major concerns over the seasoning of their meats, but this could be fixed. At least nothing tasted bad. The portions is also just the right size, not like the big plates you get at Cheesecake Factory or Claim Jumpers. No leftovers for lunch tomorrow, sorry.
There is some service issues with this place. First our waitress April is a very friendly waitress, but she seem a little flustered and didn't have communication with the people bringing our food. She would come to our table to check if the food came, but it didn't come. This happened numerous times. She forgot our drinks once or twice, she dropped the forks on the ground, and came out numerous times to give us more unnecessary utensils and plates. I think she was having an off night.
The only other issue with this place is the location of the doors. If you're coming through the casino, you're actually going through the back way. While you're greeted by someone, but it seems a little odd to have to go through the entire restaurant just to get your table. The other issue is the person greeting us told us about the wait time 30-45 mins. This was no where near as accurate as they say they were. They need to work on some better communication to better accurately give an estimation. This is just really a bad, confusing, and inefficient layout with many patrons going through the backdoor to be directed to the front just to get a table. We're in the digital age of information, they should be able to seat people from the back or the front of the restaurant. The easier solution would have been to plan ahead for issues like this.
The newest restaurant at a casino that doesn't suck and is overprice. Shocking! This place does have good food, but needs to tweak the dishes just a bit. For a place thats been open for a couple of days, I'm impressed by how relatively smoothly the restaurant is running and how pack this place was on a Monday night. This place could easily be one of my favorite restaurants to go to.
