The filet was cooked to just the right temperature and the pannini was delicious! The garlic potatoes looked grainy and unappetizing. Maybe just regular mashed would hit the spot. Our server, Teresa, was very attentive and accommodating.

Food was absolutely disgusting. Way to overpriced for the quality and taste of the food. Only good thing was the server. She was very nice.

Food was absolutely terrible and cold.Mashed potatoes were the only decent item.I could go into a few other issues with this place, but for now, this will suffice.At least fix the food issues, they charge way too much ($36 per person ) for that kind of food experience.

Alot of the food needed to changed out. You could tell it had been there a while. Fried shrimp was soggy. Way too much dressing on the ceaser salad.

Overpriced and food needed more flavor. Agreed with other reviewers, not worth the $55 for the tasteless crab-legs and mediocre seafood. We did like the friendliness of the staff and how attentive they were on keeping your table clean and drinks filled.

My wife ordered quiche. Was only 3 couples in there and took a bit to get it us. When brought out it was absolutely burnt. Edges were black, could not even be cut with knife. Brought to manager attention. They took whole plate back before I could say to leave the rest of it there. I was already finished with my plate when my wife's plate came back. Not much better, bottom was burnt. Needless to say she didn't eat it. First experience at this restaurant and know I would never return. Was not offered anything to compensate for a totally ruined breakfast. Also ingredients listed on menu was not what was in it. It had mushrooms, peppers, and god knows what else. I do have a picture I would be glad to show you

This was our 3rd time dining at this establishment. The bartender was fantastic and our wait staff fabulous!! The entertainment is wonderful and you are able to dine, chat with your table and still hear the music. We love this place. I am gluten free and they are always very attentive to my needs.

Husband Chicken over cooked and burnt, my French onion soup was Luke warm, overall very disappointed with our food, this was our 2nd time coming there for dinner, first time food was excellent, this time not a good experience.

Our server Gabby was exceptional. Ambiance was quiet and we were able to converse with no distractions. Potato dishes were perfection. My French toast was delicious as was their chocolate cake.

We arrived at the buffet with a party of six. Each couple was paying separately and we were informed of the 20% gratuity for a group of 6 or more to sit together. My husband is a tribal citizen and after applying his discount the total still came up to over $80 for two people. We were told that the gratuity per person was $11. It would have cost our party of 6 $66 just to sit together. We did not wind up eating at the buffet because the prices were outrageous. So that is $240 that the buffet missed out on. It's a ridiculous amount of money to pay just to eat the buffet but then on top of it you have to pay an additional $11 per person to sit together if you have more than six people in your party. The buffet was not busy so we could have gotten away with sitting together without having to pay the gratuity but they did not even offer us that option.

Great staff the dueling piano players were great!! The drinks were very tasty as for the food it was ok! I have to say I'll give them another try I didn't look at the menu very well and I chose poorly so next time I think I'll get a pasta dish those looked great!! I got the flat bread and while it was very good it was very soggy and hard to pick up! But like I said the staff was great and the entertainment was outstanding!!

The only thing keeping this from 1 star was the prime rib. It's was very fatty though. The rest of the buffet food was not very good at all. Especially for the price.

Well, my partner and I were decent winners one evening, so we hit the buffet on house money. It was nearly $80 for the both of us with just soft drinks. I expected it to be about $20 total cheaper. The food was at least pretty good. The prime rib, turkey, shrimp (nice sized), pot stickers, and the desserts were all pretty good. I cannot complain about the food. It's a buffet at a casino, so you kind of know what you are getting into. Service was very good. Refills and removal of dirty plates were very fast. Again, if we didn't win pretty good, we would have left and ended up at a restaurant somewhere else that we would normally go to, so the price was not really an issue, but it was noticeably high. I'm going to say it, even though it is definitely a casino buffet line, but I would have at least expected crab legs, lol. I'll go back again eventually, I'm sure, but I'm not in any hurry.
