I cannot believe that I haven't reviewed Kosar's yet!! First of all "gamble - eat/drink - gamble" is ALWAYS a great combination!
Kosar's is nestled in the far corner of the Rocksino in Northfield, Ohio. Its swanky open bar area is an alert that one is entering hallowed ground. Its serenity is surprising compared to the musical barrage of slots (though only steps away).
My husband and I have dined here a handful of times. Our first occasion was his birthday when he ran around the beautiful restaurant looking at memorabilia on the walls (sometimes glimpsing over a patron's head to read a Bernie Kosar stat or two). I had to get clearance from casino security to bring him a wrapped gift box (a SWISS Army watch I had bought him) in order to bring it through the casino to present it to him at dinner. THAT made my gift all the more special!
The steaks at Kosar's are TO DIE FOR!!! The aged beef and presentation surpass any other area high-end grille. We have had the strip, prime rib, filet and ribeye. AMAZING and sweet and succulent and silky! The sides are a la carte and are pricey but HUGE. The mashed potatoes will definitely serve two people.
I do want to give a special mention to the bread assortment... it is SO lovely! The bread basket reminds me of an assortment that I might be served in France.
The service is excellent! Servers seem to sense the needs of the patron and do not hover or interrupt conversations at the table. They are there when needed and are extremely personable.
Our only regret is that we haven't seen Bernie in person on any of our visits. That's okay though... we can just retire to the slots and hope for next time!!!
