| - Where has this place been hiding?! I absolutely loved this place. I like the Suncoast, but it's not exactly the classiest of casinos. However, when you walk through the doors of this place, you see where they are hiding the class. What a nice place. I love the fact that the doors are closed so the noise and the cigarette smoke does not linger into the restaurant. You wouldn't even know that it's attached to a casino, if you didn't have to enter and exit through it. The food is good. Is it exceptional, not really. It's really, really good. I had one of the specials which was Spinach and Cheese Ravioli in an Alfredo sauce. They said it was an appetizer, but it was filling enough to be an entree. I also had the Tomatoes Caprese. It was ok. I was thrown by the red onions on the plate that are not mentioned on the menu. I don't do onions at all. And they don't belong on this plate. My Dad had the regular Cheese Ravioli with Pomodoro Sauce (Tomato sauce with spices) and it comes with a regular salad. Also, the bread they serve is outstanding. It comes with regular butter and pesto butter, which was great. The service was very good. But the best part of it, was the piano player. His name was Phil Baker, and he was the inspiration for the movie THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS. He was incredible! He sounds like Tony Bennett. He plays a wide variety of standards and jazz music. We stayed a good hour and a half after we were finished with our meal sitting at the piano bar, having some wine and listening to some of the greatest music of all-time. What a fantastic dining experience. I will be going back here often just to drink some wine and listen to the music, but I will be dining here often as well. Very, very good!
