    Phenomenal steak and lobster. Food was outstanding and so was the service. They even took note that I had indicated on my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and threw in a few extra touches. Not too noisy, despite being in the middle of a casino.

    As always, the ambiance was excellent. It was my 81st birthday dinner. I asked if their fabulous bread pudding was on the dessert menu this evening. The waitress said it wasn’t but she’d see what might be possible. Ten minutes later, out came a scrumptious plate of freshly made bread pudding. That is truly outstanding customer service!!

    I appreciated the customized menu for the birthday celebration. Our server also checked up on us often and made great recommendations. She was friendly and thoughtful. I really appreciated that our main entree was served all at the same time (and served hot might I add!) so that we may begin eating together. It was my first time here but will definitely be returning in the future.
