Came in to celebrate a friends birthday, ordered the 2 for $75 deal which comes with 2 Caesar salads (served as small heads of romaine that you chop yourself, quite a few pieces of mine being mushy, brown and wilted; and it was barely dressed/topped) a bone in rib-eye steak that they claimed would be big enough to feed 2 adults (it wasn’t, it was Atleast 30-45% fat and was barely even salted, let alone seasoned or buttered), 2 medium sized DRY overcooked shrimp each and 2 stalks of asparagus each and a lunchroom scoop-full of mashed potatoes per person. A slice of grasshopper pie to share for dessert. I also ordered a slice of chocolate cake for an additional $10 for my friends birthday because he doesn’t like mint & the dessert option wasn’t flexible. No problem. However, the steak felt like it was almost all fat, like THICK white inedible fat. It made the dinner hard to enjoy. That whole top and whole bottom slice were fat. About 2 fully edible slices out of the whole steak to share between two people. The steak was more-so medium rare than medium as I had requested. And the sides were lukewarm upon arrival. The free bread and the butter with black salt was absolutely delicious, our favorite part of the meal actually which is telling in itself. The wine tasted quite good as well, we opted for the sparkling white moscato. But I had to refill our own glasses the entire duration of the meal, even my date asked “isn’t the waitress supposed to do that?” If I’d waited for that to happen we wouldn’t have had but a glass each the entire meal, out of an entire bottle we paid for… um, no. I’ll pour my own drink, not a problem. Safe to say we left hungry,by the end of the meal, the plate next to me that was full of tough fat I’d attempted to cut off of the steak was bigger than the pieces I’d actually been able to consume. I would’ve complained about the steak as soon as it came out but it wasn’t brought out by our server and by the time she’d circled back to us, my friend had eaten a few pieces and I didn’t want to get any push back trying to send it back, because of that. I also had a super tough chewy piece of steak (fat) in my mouth so all I could mutter was “we’re ok,” when she quickly did check on us before rushing back off. She however wasn’t rude, in my opinion, she was actually quite friendly and personable during our brief encounters. So please don’t blame her for my poor review. However it’s safe to say I wasted $100 on dinner & I felt so bad because again, it was to celebrate my friends birthday. Id heard good things about this steakhouse and expected a much more pleasureable upscale dining experience. The atmosphere was decent, the re-decoration is okay, I think the entrance and wine archway is the highlight of the ambience of the space. The random deer taxidermist was off putting for me but that’s simply personal preference. The rest of the blue decor in the space was nice and produced a calming mood, I do wish there was louder music (I could hardly hear what was playing) or some sort of entertainment for the restaurant. I think a live jazz band would benefit the space. That would really take it up a notch. I tried to take a cute picture of the meal, as I like to post food photography but this meal didn’t even look appetizing sadly. If you zoom in on the steak you can see how almost every slice has a thick white piece of fat attached to it. I understand ribeyes are a fatty cut, I eat at steakhouses often… this was just a poor quality steak cut chosen (if I had to guess) solely based on the fact that it’s a special promotional price so they don’t care to impress “these type” of customers. Which is really disappointing. We were hotel guests, we spent lots of money on property throughout the duration of our stay, and simply just because we chose to take advantage of a special (that you promote) doesn’t mean we deserve a low quality meal because the special is considered “low” priced for the establishment. (I still paid $100+) Overall, disappointed.

First time at Dream Dance. We would call it good, but not great. Especially for the prices. We go to plenty of nice restaurants, so it’s not the cost, it’s the value. Had reservations and got seated right away. Our server was friendly, but not especially personable. The wine and cocktails were good. For food we got the calamari, salad, ribeye and shrimp scampi. The calamari was hot, and crispy. The flavor was okay, but not unique. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The steak itself was good flavor, but not as tender as we would have expected. The shrimp scampi was good, but nothing special. The atmosphere was not especially intimate. We had a table in the center of the room. It was loud, from both the diners and music. I suppose if I was at Potawatomi for a show or gambling, and wanted a nice meal, this might be a good choice. We were there only for dinner and not impressed.

Recently remodeled, Dream Dance is a beautiful space, perfect for date night. The interior is dimly lit with a warm, intimate, and upscale feel. The food overall was good. However, there were some notable points. The west coast oysters were quite small (understanding that they usually are compared to east coast), the salmon lacked seasoning (though prepared well) and the dirty martini my husband ordered wasn't very dirty and the olives literally had no flavor. Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was sweet and understanding of the concerns we raised. The recommended crème brûlée and chocolate cake were absolutely amazing, with the crème brûlée presentation being unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Definitely worth a taste and shareable.
