| - My wife and I needed to eat dinner quickly before heading to a show at Monte Carlo on Dec 6, 2014. We were staying at the Tropicana, I found a Groupon for Biscayne ($72 for a Groupon that covers $118 worth of food), and they were on OpenTable for a last minute reservation.
Our server, Alex, was a little slow to arrive at our table due to the needs of other tables, so someone else came and got our drink orders and table bread while we were waiting. Once Alex was there, we couldn't have asked for a more attentive or helpful server. We told him we were in a hurry, so he put our order in right away. He was also happy to oblige when I asked him to bring the check as soon as our food came out, so we would be ready to leave when we were done eating.
Our drinks were refilled promptly, Alex checked on us before our dinners were out to tell us they would be out in a couple minutes (he knew we were in a rush), and kept to his word and delivered them 2 minutes later. We both got the Biscayne Signature Chopped Salad, which I loved - my wife thought it was a bit light on poached shrimp and crab meat, though. I got the 18oz Rib Eye, and it was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of marbling for my tastes (I like the fat, but not when there's a lot of it). My wife got the small order of King Crab Legs (they have a 1lb order, and a 1/2lb order). The meat was very good, and she felt like there was enough there to satisfy her. I think if I had ordered it, though, I would've been reaching for more bread after finishing my entree.
4 stars could've been 5 if the prices were a bit lower. The Groupon made the price right about what I would normally expect to pay for the meal we ate - $100 or so after tip (no alcohol) for two of us.
