The culinary experience is always outstanding. Not much like it anywhere in our extensive experience. The price reflects it, but is worth it once in a while.

Went there for Sunday brunch buffet. Food was hot and delicious. Buffet items were constantly replenished and we had several made to order options that were included in the price and delivered to the table (French toast, eggs Benedict, and omelets). Restaurant was busy so a bit noisy but after dining there, I understand why they draw a big crowd. Much more flavorful and appealing than other fine dining options that cost much more.

Went for a birthday dinner. Service (Nick) and ambience were Excellent. Only issue with food were the oysters, which were a little dry. Prepped too early so very little to no brine. All other appetizers and mains were Awesome!! Very nice wine menu but the mark up is a little too much! We brought our own which worked out Great! Otherwise a Fantastic Evening!!

The host at the front was very rude. Some of our party of 7 was late. She basically wanted us to wait outside in the casino. She was very rude. Wasn't very happy
