    The service was pretty good. However, we did not get the high-top table as requested. The brussels and shrimp appetizer was fantastic, but the pork chop were not very desirable at all. They were super dry from being over cooked.

    I had made a reservation hours before dinner. We had an extra guest and they were very rude and didn't want to accommodate our extra guest. It would not have hurt to pull up an extra chair. We left and went to other restaurant in the casino.

Then the oysters on the half shell was burnt on the botton the waitrees come over and ask me how are the oysters i told her not good they are burnt on the botton the waitress remove that item for our ticket. My husband's fish was good but his mashed potatoes came out cold he ask our waitress for some hot masked potatoes the second potatoes came out still cold.

    The food was excellent as it was the last time we were there. Our waiter who was also the Bar Tender (from California ) was top notch and made our experience very enjoyable. The hostess was not as accommodating. She first took us to a table that was literally in the kitchen . I asked her if we could move back to the other dining room . They were not busy and there were plenty of tables available. As I turned around I saw her roll her eyes at me. As we made our way back to a high top ( which was what I had reserved) she told me we couldn’t sit there because they had no servers. Honestly the table we ended up at was perfectly suitable and we were happy and entertained by our waiter. As we exited , I apologized to the hostess saying I did not mean to sound rude , we just did not want to sit in the kitchen . She ignored me holding a menu in front of her face. I apologized again saying I did not to be rude . Her response was “ Well you were ! “ I love the food and will probably go back but that Hostess who I saw being rude to other patrons as well needs to go and find something more suitable to her personality .
