I do not delight in giving bad reviews but I feel it's important to share my experience given how upscale this restaurant proposes to be. For the prices on this menu, I expect a lot and the experience was not worth the level of the prices. First, we did not understand why some steaks listed the ounces and why some didn't. If you are paying high prices you should know the ounces on all the steaks. Our waitress was super sweet and nice. But she range up the wrong steak for my husband (he ordered Porterhouse) and he was sitting there while the rest of us ate our dinner. Then when the right steak finally did arrive she brought a Tbone steak and at that point we couldn't ask for another steak again. We were trying to make a show. Granted my husband likes it med rare but when it came out it didnt look that great. It was grey in color and barely seared. Also the check took a long time when we told her at the beginning that we were going to the show. And no one came to de-crumb the table when the bread was very crusty. Those are small things i know. the decor was also in need of updating. The food and service was fine but not for the pricing. That's all I am...

It's way over priced for the taste of the food. The steak is too chard and bland. That is a Meduim-Well Ribeye Steak $54. The food presentation is beautiful. The Pork Chops was almost too dry $34. All of the food is A la carte. So the Steak was $54 and the Spinach was $9. The garlic mashed potatoes was $9. Nothing comes with your main entrée. The bread and butter is free, served warm and butter soft which was awesome. The service was good. They are all friendly and professional. I made reservations online and when I arrived, I was not on the list. Good thing I took a screen shot of the reservation. The hostess said well we have some open seating so I'm in luck. So was she implying that I would not have gotten service even though their system malfunctioned? I would not visit again if I had to pay for it but would as a guest of someone. And even then I would try to get that person to go elsewhere. I'm hoping that when the Casino move in 2 years that the...
