I'll save my full review but this place has gone down hill. 4th time eating here and had the worst experience last night. Scallops looked like they were smashed and sliced in half. They were cold and not as good as prior visits. The brussel sprouts were burnt and steak cooked at medium was dry.From what friends have said they have heard the same thing, food is not what it was before. Management was not concerned at all and basically did nothing.Definitely won't spend $300 here again.

Overall, good food, however, for the caliber of restraunt and the price the service is lacking. Gordon may know how to cook, but he has dropped the ball on training his staff properly on high-end service.If my meal is $100+ a person. I definitely expect the entire experience to be taken to the next level. We've been here twice, and I can say the service was not bad. It just wasn't exceptional.The food has all been good. We've tried a ton on the menu and are yet to find anything we don't like. The prince of darkness cocktail has an amazing flavor that I would highly recommend trying if it sounds like your type of drink.The scallops are great and so is the wellington. Honestly, I think I've been more impressed with the appetite than anything. Every app we have had has been to die for.Overall, it was a good experience. I would just like to see the service elevated to the next level.

Nice group dinner from a safe meeting with traditional American steakhouse dishes, consistent preparation and some craft Cocktail selections. Excellent service, a bit in the pricey side, bit with a visit given the location and placement. The air is filtration is fantastic and you can't tell that there is a smoking casino outside of the confines of the restaurant. Worth a visit if you are at Harrah's in CA.

On the upside, service was great. The ambiance was nice and decor even nicer. My scallops were delicious and cooked to perfection, the Potato Puree and Baked Mac and Cheese (tried my brothers) were good. The Sticky Toffee Pudding with Dulce De Leche ice cream was nothing short of amazing. I tasted my sister in laws Wagyu Meatballs and those were delicious. Our waiter was great and comped my risotto.On the down side, scallops aren’t full sized, my Lobster Risotto was undercooked. (Flavor of risotto was good). The lobster however was cooked perfectly it just lacked flavor. I ordered that on the side. Cost over $30. For that amount, the chefs need to darn well get that right. Nothing worse than hard risotto. The Beef Wellington was disappointing as I was excited to try it. I found the batter to be thin and it lacked flavor. Mine was too raw for my taste and chewy. (I will say that maybe my palette isn’t sophisticated enough for the “Welly”) If hesitant, try it and see for yourself.I do believe the restaurant is worth trying. If you have never been and hesitant due to the reviews, again go and see for yourself.. I will return but will try other menu items.

I got the lobster risotto and the beef wellington and my friend got some meatballs, oh my goodness when I tell you the meat melted in my damn mouth! The lobster was probably my favorite (I know whatever) My friends meatballs were so good too! But the main course obviously was the beef welly. If I was rich I'd go here every weekend but unfortunately I'm poor.

Great food, service, and atmosphere; especially for a hotel in the middle of nowhere. George and Victoria we’re very professional, kind, and well-rounded.

I have to start off with saying that I have worked in the casino customer service industry for over 10 years.. Brandy was absolutely amazing, wonderful, kind, and she was not even waiting on us.. her attention to detail and comfort was very touching! Elizabeth was so happy and made our dinner so wonderful special. Just because of these two I will be back here very soon!!! I can’t wait!! I highly recommend!!

The atmosphere was excellent. You can feel the passion and vibe from the chefs by eating.However, there was one disappointment. I ordered a Cesar salad with grilled chicken. The croutons, I mean, every single crouton in this salad, tasted like over baked french bread. You can't chew, you can't bite, you can't even swallow it.?????The service was not bad. We had a great night. There was no waiting, no reservation. We just walked in right after we won good money at the casino. Maybe that's the dopamine made me feel good even after I hurt my mouth by chewing the "stone-like" croutons.
