We made reservations here not realizing it wasn't connected to the casino itself. That being said, this is a most definite worthy destination. Our server Kendall was excellent. He was attentive to.our request and questions. He was a pleasure throughout our dining experience. We ordered the Escargot as an appetizer. I dont believe I have evered had them served on a mushroom, and I couldn't be happier about that. This was an excellent bite and the flavors paired well together. Highly suggested. My wife ordered the shrimp trio which comes with a cup of bisque and a dessert. She chose cheesecake. The bisque was phenomenal. You didn't have to search for the crabmeat. Her shrimp dish was very good as well. You got to sample 3 different ways of cooked shrimp with 3 different dips. The cheesecake 😋 wow. What a great bite! For my meal I ordered the braised beef short ribs. This might be one of the best bites I've ever had. Wow. This was excellent served with mashed potatoes and carrots. Highly highly recomend.

The place blows harder than your wife. food was subpar. They have a whole 25 people in here and took us an hour and a half for food and counting. The server was nice that’s all I got.

This was a very nice upscale restaurant with great service. The prime rib and mashed potatoes were amazing! They didn’t rush us after we finished and continued to talk shop. Whole staff were friendly and polite.

⭐ 1 Star - Ruined My Birthday Dinner
Came here to celebrate my birthday and left completely disappointed. I ordered my steak medium, but it came out dry and completely well-done. I sent it back, and the second steak was nearly raw. When I politely raised the issue, the manager was rude and dismissive. For a special occasion, the food and service were beyond unacceptable. They completely ruined what should have been a nice evening.
