Not quite sure where all the superlatives begin with pace either someone is writing them for this place or they have had much better experiences than I did. 10 of us tonight on Friday and we are seated promptly in a Back Annex Room which is actually quite nice but a little tight for 10 people. When we inquired about the other room with more space we were told its reserved. Note we took over 2 hours to dine and when we departed that room was NOT IN USE. Anyway very nice modern decor kinda of novue steakhouse that is a little unusual and interesting.
Review the menu and we are presented with your standard fare of mix of steaks and chops / appetizers salads etc. Wine list is extremely overpriced but its a steakhouse in casino and we roll with it. Couple drinks ordered bottles of wine in route we are off to the races.
Bread... not served until asked and told it is upon request... WTH? 50.00 average per steak and bead is by request? Hot fresh rolls with topped butter are good but not the reviews "To die for"
Appetizers:
Couple of wedge salads were cold fresh and good though they needed more dressing and it was promptly delivered.
Several shrimp cocktail are great looking but to be honest MUSHY and a little fishy and the cocktail sauce was bland with no bite. Asked for extra lemon, horseradish at time of order yet it never did arrive. Either way the Shrimp failed.
Couple of Tuna Tartar's were ordered not my thing but 6 on the 1 to 10 scale from the persons that sampled them.
Entrees:
Dry Aged Rib Eye was very good tasty and cooked perfectly.
3 Bone in Filet Mignons 1 was outrageously god while the other 2 were simply ok. Note this is a wet aged prime piece of meat.
Chillean Sea Bass was once again 6 out of 1-10 scale fort the fish lover.
The "Ultimate steak" 40 Oz Portherhouse carved in back not tableside with 1 side and steak sauces was good but lacking any great depth or flavor to the strip or the filet and it was luke warm to cool at serving temperature. This was accompanied by the extra $25.00 stuffed lobster tail. Well I don't know what this was but it certainly wasn't lobster. It was chunks of fish stuffed inside the tail with a ritz cracker bread crumb stuffing. It tasted funky no explanation of what it was but it I've eaten many a Maine Lobster tail and this was NOT IT.
Two $90.00 stuffed lobsters were absolutely awful. Same funky lobster taste with the stuffing doing nothing to save these sorry dishes.
Sides:
Wild mixed roasted mushrooms in oil and garlic were undercooked.
Mac & Cheese pretty good flavor no complaints here.
Baked potatoe $10.00 cold and undercooked and certainly not worth 10.00.
Garlic Mashed pretty good.
Broccolini was blah.
Deserts good especially the donut holes and chocolate dipping sauce.
Service was OK.. lots of the extras were never brought even though requested during ordering process. The room must be right next to the broilers in the kitchen as the flame and frying smell permiated through the walls.
All and all a few good things but absolutely totally over priced $1500.00 for 10 people with only 3 small priced bottles of wine and not heavy on the drink orders, makes this place a HORRIBLE VALUE. Night before we were at Hugo's cellar 10 of us with incredible wine 1k. No comparison. As previously mentioned not sure who's reviewing this but THUMBS DOWN For me.
