Menu was more limited than I expected. Lights should be dimmed a little to create more ambiance.

Our waitress made this a fantastic experience. It was like talking to a friend about the menu. She gave great suggestions and never let us run out of anything. The food was great and parking was easy. Overall, I would recommend.

My wife and I went for our Anniversary. The food was excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and how we can expect the food to taste like. A very enjoyable experience overall.

Ordered the European sea bass. When i asked for regular tartar sauce I was told they don’t carry it. I cant believe a place sells fish but doesnt have tarter sauce.

Understand you close at 10. However, pulling my food from me at each course was obnoxious. Stopping and cleaning the rubber placemats while my date and I are having a private conversation was rude. It really could have waited til we left. We got the hint that all 4 tables in there had to get going so we ordered dessert to go. In case we didn't get the hint, at exactly 10 pm the lights went bright. As I look at the reviews, it's a consistent theme - being rushed. If it's like everything else at Horseshoe, it's the invisible 'management' who are calling the shots here. They fail to understand gambling revenues are down here because of how they treat their best customers on the casino floor and in the restaurants. What was to be a nice date, turned into a flurry of food and staff buzzing around us. As for the food: burrata with tomatoes - no bread to enjoy the cheese. Do you really expect us to just eat it with a spoon? the server brought ut toast and said she didnt know why they didn't make it part of the plate. Minestrone soup was good, had i been able to finish it after i fended off the first 2 attempts to take it. I finally relented. chicken parm was fine- but for $28 for a small breast and small ball of pasta, would it be too much to have someone shave some parmesan cheese on top? tiramisu was in to go containters - no spoons - that'd be too thoughtful $100 for 2 people, no alcohol - i've had better service and better food at Macaroni Grill and Olive Garden. Gia - come back and have a meal sometime- it's you name, your brand.

We used this restaurant as a meet and greet for our online game community. This was the first time many of us had meet. I felt rushed to order and leave . Most of the tables were empty so I didn't feel we were preventing the restaurant for seating more guests. Our bill came to around $400 + tips. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone .
