    Our late lunch early dinner was fabulous on New Year's Day 2025. Our waitress, Barbara, was very friendly, energetic, helpful and wonderfully nice-she gets all the kudos for a great visit. We will definitely return to Fresh Salt.

    Although in a Casino, Ballo's is definitely a refined, lovely respite from the gambling areas. Never rushed, no hustle bustle - even in busiest (Holiday) times. We are seniors and use points and perks and save them just for the purpose of using them at Ballo for all of our special occasions - birthdays, holidays and our anniversary!! The servers are always well versed, friendly, social and attentive to one's needs/wants. My husband must use a walker and everyone has always been so accommodating and helpful. And, most important, of course, is the food - which is always wonderful. Never, ever have we been disappointed. Thank you.
