Spoiled scallops sent back, bloody steak (ordered medium), a cold latte that they offered to stick in the microwave for me when I asked for new one. My cocktail was good and the server Isaac was a sweetheart but this place needs better management. I can't believe after the experience I had, nobody even came to apologize or offer a free dessert or something? Really bad.

Great special occasion restaurant! Beautiful view of the Mississippi river, service was excellent, and the steaks were delicious.

Food is great - very nice menu. There is clearly expertise in the kitchen. Service is rushed and not relaxing. Server was moving too fast and too casual. Difficult getting wine by the glass that is fresh - wine bottles had been opened for 6 days and if I hadn't asked for a fresh glass of wine she would have served me wine that shouldn't have been served. Ambience is nice and it's always very clean. Music was good - volume just right.

Wanted a nice establishment to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Beacon 53 did NOT disappoint! Great atmosphere, service and food.
Being located at a Casino was a concern for me so I checked it out before making a reservation. The enterance is separte from the casino or hotel. So there were no loud sounds, flashing lights or smoke smell. It was calm and serene.
The restaurant affords a view of the Mississippi River that is not available at any other establishment in Cape Girardeau. Fantastic!
There service was attentive without being presumptuous. The staff was impeccable in their timing and anticipation of our desires.
Their food was delightful. We started with drinks shrimp ceviche which was as good as we have ever tasted. The bread was a special treat. My wife had the fresh fish. She loved it. I tried the Ravioli with a side of Brussels Sprouts. Both exceeded my expectations. We rounded off our meal with French Press Coffee and lingered.
This has become our favorite restaurant in Missouri by far and stands in the midst of our top ten in the country alongside of Michelin ratings.

For the high end restaurant it's supposed to be, I just was not that impressed. The hand rails on the deck were filthy, the food just didn't taste that well, I expected more.

This is such a good restaurant, the food is just fantastic, absolutely delicious! What a lovely view this restaurant has looking out at the river! There is also outdoor seating that is great as well. It's a shame, I don't see any brunch menu listed now, but man, I loved their brunch! Even took my mother in law when she came to visit. We will have to return to try their dinner menu sometime - I'm certain it will be great!

We recently had our first experience at Beacon 53 and had such a nice time. Our waitress, Andrea, was so sweet and helpful with walking us through the menu, giving us recommendations, and making us feel so taken care of. The food was excellent and the personable interactions with Andrea and other staff has made Beacon a place we will be coming back to when we want to celebrate special occasions. Thank you for a lovely evening!
Our server Makenna was a shining star. The shrimp ceviche was perfect. The homemade fried pita chips were crunchy and chewy. Just right for dipping into the shrimp and guacamole base of the appetizer. Main courses were lambchops (highly recommend) the wine recommendation paired well as suggested by Makenna. The sea bass was a beautifully plated, but would have liked a little less fat in the base. The bread pudding was enough for 4 people. The view is the best in the area, and if it had been a bit cooler, would have eaten outside. Will def return and many thanks to the entire staff who made a birthday celebration outstanding.

Service was really great. Went for my husband's birthday. He received a free dessert (which was AMAZING). The food was great, only issue was with both of our steaks. It almost seemed like there was a hot spot on their grill. I say this because half of the steak was perfectly cooked (med well) but the other half was over. Same issue for my husband's steak. I don't mean the center of the steak was more rare, it was a half and half thing. They were still good though. The sauces that came with my fillet were top notch, their fries...yes please! Oh and the bread...you have GOT to try the bread; don't skip it because you want to avoid the carbs...it's beyond! All in all it's a great place, beautiful views of the river. You really forget it's in a casino/hotel.
