| - Walked in very hungry through part of the casino. Brings back memories of Vegas with stale smoke, stale food and very weird people sitting at slot machines. Okay, expected that. Got to whom I thought was the maƮtre d' or host. It was a Saturday night at 7 pm so I thought it might be busy. I asked if we needed a reservation for the steakhouse and he first tried to funnel us down to the buffet. Then he asked in a suspicious tone if we were there for the 7.99 special. "No, we are here for the prime rib," we say. "Oh, I might be able to seat you," says he. Bit obnoxious.
We get in there and the place is almost empty. Was he fishing for a tip? Whatever. I order the lobster bisque and my husband orders the largest cut of prime rib. Five minutes later the waitress come back and says, "I'm sorry, bad news sir. I've just been informed that we are out of prime rib." Really?! Out of prime rib on Saturday night at 7:00 pm ????
This messes things up since we were going to split the large cut. Now what? We order the ribeye with peppercorn sauce. Another five minutes. "More bad news sir." Now if the were out of ribeye, I was leaving then and there. Nope. Out of peppercorn sauce. Fine.
The rolls were stale. The lobster bisque came. Good flavor, but the consistency was like congealed gravy. Too much thickener and no pieces of lobster. they must have used just the stock. Disappointing. Couldn't eat it.
The steak was pretty good. The garlic mashed potatoes were cold and they were missing something: oh yeah, GARLIC!
If you think I might be nit-picky, check the other 5 reviews I've posted today. They are 5 and 4 star. I see the other reviews. Maybe this was an off night or they just got through a hoard of people, but this was not a good experience.
