| - It's nice to get away from the flashing lights and the 'ding-ding-dings' of slot machines to enjoy a great dinner.
The decor was upscale and the staff very friendly--they accomodated our table of 12 with ease. Instead of separating us, or seating us at a rectangular table, we had the pleasure of sitting at a large round table. This was great because everyone could now converse with one another. All the waitresses and carvers were fully clad in traditional attire--they all looked like busy pilgrims.
Everybody ordered their signature Prime Rib, but I opted for their 16 oz Bone-In Rib Eye. The meal was preceded by a salad that our waitress prepared in a very special way--she spun a metal bowl over ice, mixing in the salad and dressing as it rotated. After everyone devoured their salad, the real feast began..
My eyes widened as I stared at the gargantuan plate of food set in front of me. The Rib Eye was HUGE! This slab of meat was cooked to perfection, slightly blackened on the outside, but tender and pink on the inside. Instead of mashed potatoes, I received Au-Gratin Potatoes and Crisp Fried Onions, which were much better than the traditional mashed spuds. I also had a few bites of their Prime Rib-- it was almost as delicious as my Rib Eye. The Prime Rib was moist and flavorful, but I preferred the smokier taste of the Rib Eye. Creamed Corn and Sauteed Mushrooms were the best dinner accompaniments one could ask for, definitely a must-have!
As for dessert....well, I didn't have any. In fact, nobody did. This hearty feast left no room in our stomachs for dessert.
