    Dined at this restaurant twice in one week, great experience both times. Everything was great, but it would be nice if the Happy Hour service was not limited to just the bar.

    We were hoping for a bit more of an upgrade on the food from some years ago but unfortunately the pattern of more or less OK but not great continued. The side dishes were boring, broccoli undercooked. The $90 lobster tail was tasteless and slightly undercooked. We were there for Prime Rib special night and they were all gone one hour after opening (?). The restaurant is too cheap to buy enough meat to be sure to serve all customers. On the plus side the cocktails were delicious, service was decent (friendly if a bit slow) and the overall look and feel of the restaurant is very nice (and quiet). Too bad the food isn't better.

    You expect a steak and lobster restaurant to be pricey. However, the dated decor and atmosphere didn’t quite lend itself to the advertised fine dining even though the intent was to harken the days of Frank Sinatra. I think the whole casino needs a facelift. The lobster price was exorbitant, and the desserts were subpar. You could also smell smoke which is embedded in the old fabrics. Our waiter Jack was lovely and attentive, but entree service was a bit slow perhaps because of scaled down kitchen staff. We will not be back.
