| - STOP READING, JUST EAT HERE! OK, I'd be skeptical too, so here goes:
I went to this restaurant based on earlier Yelp reviews. It seemed strange to me that a steakhouse buried in a run of the mill casino would be rated so highly but we decided to give it a shot. We were rewarded big time.
This was the best meal I've had in years, period. It truly felt like five-star dining, from food quality to food quantity to atmosphere to service to value.
We ordered the porterhouse for two for $59. It also came with clams/mussels, salad and four accompaniments.
SPOILER ALERT: There were a few amazing touches that really made the experience. After we ordered, we were brought a small sample of filet mignon to what our appetites. It was absurdly tender and flavorful, and came with an unbelievable porcini mushroom sauce. Later, there was a mango sorbet intermezze. The coup de gras was that they actually cut the steak for us into small strips (about 1 inch by 3 inches), picking the bones almost totally clean! Finally, even though we didn't order dessert (no room!), we were brought delicious cubes of espresso chocolate.
Oh yeah, unlike most restaurants that gouge for little things like sodas and substitutions (if they even permit them), we were charged $1! for soda with unlimited refills, and nothing for a substitution of a salad that cost $1 more.
This is that rare restaurant that truly understands customer service, and strives to provide not just a nice meal, but an "experience".
