    I ordered the King Salmon dinner. Comes with house salad or Ceasar salad. House salad was good & it had tomatoes, raisins, walnuts, dried apricots in it. With blue cheese dressing it was delicious. Salmon was a good sized portion, & grilled. It was really tasty. Comes with mashed potatoes or rice. Husband ordered the wagu burger & said it was very good, as was the potato salad. We had good service from an excellent server who, when asked, told us she'd worked there for 19 years!

    Our first sodas were flat and we had to ask for more rolls and never got them.

    Great experience. I had a reservation which can still garner a wait at times but we were seated right on time. Simple menu but delicious food. Our server, Alicia (sp?), was very nice and personable, a delight to have! Definitely recommend when at the casino!

    Service was bad. Our server was very rushed and did not take attention very well. We were the only table that did not get bread and she could not answer questions about the menu very well. We seemed to be quite an inconvenience to her.

    Our favorite server no longer works here, but we did have a very nice waitress who did her best to keep us happy! It did take a little longer than usual to get our meal, but, the food was great as usual

    The staff were friendly and courteous. However, the food can use some adjusting. I ordered The fish and chips. French fries were ok but the fish was raw on the inside, the batter was too thick and was the only thing extra crispy...I asked the FISH be well done not the batter. It was disappointing I sent it back. The salad was really good but my appetite was unsatisfied. The purpose of our reservation was to bring my husband to celebrate his 70th Birthday. He wasn't impressed. I'll likely chose a different place if we ever return.
