| - Shame on you Robert Irvine, do your realize your reputation is getting beat in the ground because of this restaurant. Look at your reviews!!
I have been here 3 times, (my meals are comped), here is my experience.
The skirt steak in my opinion is good (I've had this twice here), however it is overpriced. It is the same skirt steak that used to be served in the Cafe, (the cafe has been replaced by the buffet). It is the same steak believe me, I have ordered it from the Cafe several times! Same flavor, same fries; the only difference is this one has chimichuri sauce and of course a much higher price, it is $11 more. People this is Cafe skirt steak with Robert Irvine's name on it!
My spouse had the fish and chips, I had a taste...again in my opinion the fish was not bad, not too greasy. Here's the problem, you only got 1 piece of fish, that was about $25, it is not worth it. You can go across the street (MGM or New York New York or even Hooters) and get fish and chips for half the price.
On another occasion we left when we came in to see this limited menu and was told it's open seating, only to then be directed to the bar. If I wanted to eat at the bar I would go to the bar.
On another occasion we left when we were told we could not bring any "outside" drinks inside the restaurant, when I say outside I am talking about from the casino. We gladly took our drinks and generous tip money to the Biscayne Steak House.
I tend to not let one incident judge my overall experience. We can all have a bad day. But I've had enough now. I feel I can write this review honestly and fairly.
For all of the hype, grand opening parties, million dollar renovation, full size picture on the building, etc. you would expect more.
Tropicana is getting a Chinese and a Mexican take out restaurant soon. I would suggest to tourist to spend your dining dollars elsewhere.
