It is an old school steakhouse with a modern twist. Starting with a great cocktail & wine selection and ending with delicious desserts. The Reserve has high quality steaks prepared exactly to your liking, excellent shared sides. Yes, it’s a casino steakhouse, but it is by far, my favorite. You can never go wrong here.

The red wine braised short rib and crab crusted sea bass specials were to die for. What a fantastic surprise for a holiday dinner. The cheesecake was nothing short of spectacular. Whoever does the beautiful Christmas decorations should get a raise.
