    Lived up to its review. It was a special birthday. The server was very professional and accommodating. Ribeye was very rich and perfectly done.

    I know the restaurant is inside the casino but it is very smoky. The smell of cigarette smoke makes the dining experience much less enjoyable.

    WOW. This is a FIVE STAR RESTAURANT!!!! Our server Mark was amazing and guided us thru the menu. From the amazing cocktails, appetizers to main course, the food and service was excellent. Even the large variety bread basket was amazing. I can’t say enough about this place. Loved it

    Excellent service, ambiance and food! Great spot for any occasion in my opinion. Ordered the filet and lobster tail surf and turf and it was perfectly cooked. Also ordered the king crab legs, delicious as well. Somewhat on the pricey side but worth it for the quality. Also, really good wine selection and our server was amazing! I highly recommend.

    Came in for anniversary/ birthday dinner, the char on the filet mignon was a bit much and unfortunately scallops had to be returned due to over salting, but understanding the new chef had started, well simply wait a few weeks to return once he’s got the hang of it ! Bit pricey for meals for this evening but thanks to management taking care of it we’ll have another shot in future .

    The ribeye cap was excellently prepared. The sides - baked potato and mashed potatoes - were excellent. Service was top-notch.

    The Council Oak is a hot! The service and food were on point. Our servers Chelsey and Niah were on the ball. The lamb chops are delicious and I highly recommend. The New York Strip was good too. I like the spinach side dish. If you are heading to the Hard Rock put this restaurant on your list. I like being able to see the chef preparing the food in the kitchen too. The lobster 🦞 was cooked to perfection.
