   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.

   What a wonderful evening! Our hostess was exceptional and attentive and our server was charming and considerate. The food was excellent!--crab cake, caesar salad, surf and turf. We cannot wait to return!

   Super cute little steakhouse. I ordered the Chicken Marsala which was good. The sauce was a little on the sweet side for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the mushrooms were delicious! My husband's filet on the other hand was outstanding. Definity recommend having a steak here. It is a steakhouse after all.

   It’s very inconsistent but when it’s in, it’s on!- I live near by and frequent the place and this nite it was on point ! Great food and it was busy too. I have to say, the staff def has attitude, especially the greeter gal… just like they’re doing you a favor. The Maitre’ D was great our waiter was kinda attitude -ish, but he became more fun as we were having fun with him too and tip well. The ribeye was great the baked and the ceasar salad all were awesome and my friends all said their meals were terrific. Just be aware, I had some friends (in the restaurant industry too) have the opposite experience just a month ago (food and service complete disaster and very slow so…). Hopefully they read this and get consistent l, because when it’s on point it is such a classic old school great little spot.

    We had an outstanding New Year’s Eve dinner. We were greeted by the restaurant manager upon our arrival and he checked on us again midway through our meal. Service was excellent. Jack was knowledgeable and attentive and has a dry, funny sense of humor, which was popular with our teens. The steaks were very high quality, thick, juicy, and the most delicious steaks we have had in quite some time. Perfect temperature preparation. One of our guests got the lobster tail and it was sublime. The lobster mac and cheese was very popular at our table, as was the surprise hit of the night: the Brussels sprouts prepared in an Asian fusion style. A shout out to the restaurant manager who accommodated a couple of extra guests in our the party the day before on one of the busiest nights of the year.
