The service was excellent. Most of the food was very good. A little disappointed in the 16oz prime rib. It was very thick, but it was a little overcooked and it was not tender like prime rib I've had in the past.

My wife and I split the 18 oz ribeye, ordered it medium rare. When it arrived it was extremely rare and we had to send it back. The lobster Mac & cheese was ok but not the best. We really wanted to enjoy our dinner there as we came from out of town but it just didn't happen. The service we received from our waitress was amazing.

Now this was an absolute waste of my time I took my mother to this ride restaurant on Saturday for her 75th birthday there was absolutely nothing special about it the atmosphere is dry the place needs to be redecorated with an upgrade and a facelift the food was just okay the 24 oz crab legs are up to 175 now I had those they were cold the butter wasn't warm there was nothing good about it it was just overpriced garbage I will never return nor will my mother or anyone else that I know it is an absolute waste you guys should close your doors or change your menu and prices they no longer reflect a five-star restaurant sorry move on now sincerely and unhappy customer

Very disappointed. Party of 6 came to eat. Waitress took forever to get drinks, check on table, give Bill to patrons, pick up payment and return change. Everything is al a carte and quite pricy. Baked potato had no flavor. Steak was tender, but uneventful. Only 4 other tables occupied so not busy. AND then charged 18% gratuity because table of 6. I guess there was no incentive for waitress to gice good service because the tip was built in. Our friend has cancer and we wanted to treat him to a good meal and a good time. Very disappointed.

We love the food and service is great. We will always have carrot cake for dessert and save some for breakfast the next morning. It is so neat that the owner goes around to say hello to the guests.

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The service was great and time it took to get our food was perfect. Oddly enough, the truffle fries were the best thing we had. The French onion soup was really good too though. 

While everything is outstanding, the service stands out as being professional yet always connecting with us on a personal level.....including my kiddos! This is why my 15year old opted out of a party and instead requested a dinner at Cavanaughs this year. It's not easy to impress a teenager but they have succeeded ?

Awesome dining experience! I had the blackened fish with succotash and my wife had the small filet mignon. Each item was truly delicious. The service was timely and flawless. We will be back soon.

Our very first visit here... This is part of Bally's Casino in Evansville, Indiana so it would not be fare to compare to places we have dined at in Las Vegas at casinos. We made reservations in advance and were seated right away upon our arrival. The staff was very polite and professional. Our table was by the window with a river view. The restaurant was nicely dimmed and the atmosphere was one of fine dining. The singing piano player in the bar area was an unexpected surprise and was very enjoyable. We started our meal with a couple of appetizers, my wife had the French Onion Soup and found it tasty. I had the Tuna Poke, it was ok but can't say I would order it again. For our dinner my wife had the Prime Rib (which comes by itself). I had a chef feature the Blackened Redfish over Corn salsa. We split an order of Augratan Potatoes. Wifey loved the Prime Rib and she knows her prime rib!!! The Potatoes were a hit!!! The fish was good but would have been helped with a little more blackening and some more viscous sauce. The bread accompanying the meal was fresh but does not come warm to the table. A nice touch was the fresh roasted garlic that comes with the butter. The meal was very enjoyable and filling, service as great! Only reason I don't do five stars is I save that for places that go above and beyond. Dinner for 2 was about $150. We felt that was a fare price for what we received. Nice stop for a weekend getaway dinner.

We ate here two nights in a row. Both nights were as good as the other. The service was amazing and everyone we came in contact with was fantastic. We had the Filet and Prime Rib. Both were cooked to perfection. We also had the wedge salad and it also was great. At the beginning of the meal they served bread with the most perfect baked garlic. The texture was great and the taste was superb. We could have been satisfied with our bread and garlic. Definitely will return if in the area again.

We have been there on multiple occasions and have never had a issue. The servers was very good . The crab cakes were delicious. We got the 7oz filet with shrimp and mashed potatoes. The martinis were good . The atmosphere was soothing with nice music and we made reservations for a window seat and they seated by the window. We will return and I would 110% recommended this restaurant for a special occasion meal .
