“This is for the lounge specifically.

Came here with a few friends: bartender Rick is a gem. He makes some of the best drinks I've ever had - my friend found her favorite drink, old tootsie, and she usually doesn't like bourbon. Food options may look limited but each one provides quite the bang. For example, I hate gravy, but the gravy on the meatballs was absolutely fantastic... We ordered three rounds. Cajun shrimp was also phenomenal.“

“Had been wanting to go here since the Burger Week reviewer at the Weekly named the Viktor Burger the best of the burger week bunch, but it took a while. He was right - probably the best burger I have ever had. Amazing texture and flavor. Melts in your mouth. Turns out it is a mix of tri-tip, filet mignon and wagyu, and what a mix it is. The fries that come with it are also delectable. The rest of the menu looks very good as well, and we did try the gazpacho, which had a deeply satisfying mix of stronger and also subtle flavors. The setting is beautiful, the outside deck surrounded by trees and green in a way you wouldn't expect in the area, and the inside is understated elegance.“

“We had a lovely dinner at the Willows. Food and wine were very good, and I love that there is a dedicated vegan menu. Portions are VERY large—we didn't understand this and ended up ordering way too much food. It would have been great if the waiter had given us a little introduction to the menu so that we could have avoided all of the unintentional leftovers. Ambiance was quite nice on the patio. Major drawback to this restaurant is the hike through the smoke-filled casino on the way in. Yuck.“
