Wow! I am amazed this place got 5 stars from so many people & feel duped & disappointed that 5 of us celebrated my husband's birthday there. Someone wrote it was like Mastro's with outback prices. Obviously they have never been to Mastro's.
First, you have to walk thru the smokey casino to get to the restaurant. The set up borders on diner with the exposed kitchen & extremely noisy bussing area, but then they throw in linen table cloths like its fine dining. Pick one- noisy bistro or quiet dining. The web site says dressy attire so we dressed up. Then it turns out we were dressed better than the hostess & many of the other patrons had on shorts & Capri pants. Again, choose what you are going to be & stick with it. We dressed for Ruth Chris not Sizzler.
Food was up and down. We liked the calamari & stuffed dates. The Caesar salad & bisque were good too as was the bread service. Again, another identity crisis- a warm towel service & amuse Bouche of meat & a sherbet (not sorbet) palate cleanser yet they didn't bring plates for the appetizers so we ended up using our bread plates, which got all sticky & dirty & were never cleared. Steaks were fine but skip the gloppy mushroom sauce. Sides were ok but not wonderful. Dessert was a catastrophe. The brought out creme brûlée which was not torched because "the torch wasn't working". Fine, then don't offer it! The kitchen should never have sent it out. Plus the custard itself was grainy and goopy. The royal flush had artificial raspberry glop smeared on the plate & was waxy. None of us ate more than 2 bites of any of the desserts.
We don't go to casinos because of the smoke smell, which we could smell in the restaurant. Talk all you want about their great ventilation system then come smell my dress. You also had to exit the restaurant & go into the casino to use the restroom.
We all agreed we would never go back. Don't confuse this place with fine dining. It is not. It is cheap food & you get what you pay for.
