Everything was really really good. The Cap of Ribeye (med-rare/rare) melts in your mouth. There are 4 different complimentary bread choices, all really good - the biscuits were our favorite. And the sides come in good portions - ie: you could probably split 2 sides of mashed potatos and Brussel sprouts between 2 people. And the service was also really good. Had some good recommendations, and they were very nice. Gave us a hand-signed card for our anniversary by like 12 people on their staff. Only bad thing: if your an ice cream connoisseur, the dessert of cheesecake (best ive ever had) and purple ice cream, the ice cream was freezer burnt, but taste was good. But I mean it was complimentary anyways cause it was our anniversary, so good surprise.

The Valentine’s Day package was perfect. We got the steak and it was delicious. We got to sit outside had such a beautiful view and got to watch the sunset. We also got the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon wine it was perfect full body not dry! Will be back for sure to try the wine tasting next time!

We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our waiter, Ricky, was attentive and informative, and let us dine at our own pace. We ordered the Brie "starter", two non-alcoholic drinks, the Atlantic Salmon, and the Short Ribs, with carrot cake for dessert [on the house for our anniversary] . Definitely get the all of the above. The presentation was great, the main courses were hot, and cooked just just right. And they have the best popovers. We have dined there several times before, and will be going back again, and will ask for Ricky to be our waiter. Maybe next time for Date-Night Tuesday!

Food is expensive, but WELL worth the price. The drinks were very well made. Strong but not overwhelming. Lobster Mac and cheese was different than what expected in a good way. Beef Wellington was tender juicy and flavorful. Lamb was so juicy and tender even at a recommended temperature of medium rare. Brussels sprouts were okay. Beef waygu meatballs were very good. Definitely get bread with them. Would absolutely return. Didn’t get any dessert way too full after 1 appetizer, 2 main course dishes and 2 side dishes. Staff was so nice, explained the dishes, the multiple types of water they served, types of wines and cocktail drinks, and very attentive also. Parking also wasn’t an issue, many open spots, short walk to casino and restaurant.

Be sure to make reservations ahead if you want to dine at the Watering Hole. You are on OPEN TABLE so of course you will. The setting is covered outdoors overlooking an African Plain. Wow. Be sure to bring a designated driver so you can enjoy one of their signature cocktails. My Short Rib hoagie was tender and full of flavor. The flatbread looked amazing. The grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich was Umami delicious. BE SURE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS.
