Samantha our server was great. We were greeted and accommodated even though we arrived early. Great surroundings and accessible bathroom, doors, and parking. We celebrated a birthday. If you love fresh shift rolls with seasoned butter you'll not be disappointed. The salmon done to medium was dry by the time it reached the table, the sauteed onions and aged meatballs were salty. Meatballs were a little overworked. The hash browns were peppery but no other flavors. They could use a bit of onion inside. The shrimp in black garlic were overdone with a sauce that barely hinted at black garlic. It just tasted strange. There was a nice selection of wine and spirits. A spirits menu would be helpful. The oyster Rockefeller was yummy. All dishes were served hot and paced well between courses. Overall it was a nice evening.

Everytime I come here, I'm more and more impressed, the food was excellent.The portions are very generous...

I'll start by saying that our waiter (can't remember his name), was excellent! I had a birthday voucher so I am thankful, but the food was not so great. I ordered the 18 oz.. Steak. Very meaty, however, no seasoning. It also tasted more like it was seared instead of grilled. Having a steak you're looking for that grilled taste. Ordered the whipped mashed potatoes and had to send back because they were cold. Calamari was tasteless as well and greasy. I also ordered the grilled shrimp which was raw and tasteless. I took most of it home and doctored it up and truly enjoyed it. I won't let this deter me from returning, however I will make it my business to ask for seasoning and grilled cooked. Overall I do recommend the restaurant, just be specific on how you want your food.

We arrived for our reservation and were greeted and seated right away. Our server Melissa was incredible. Our orders were correct and delicious. We never knew the Hard rock had such a great restaurant.

The Bone-in Filet is absolutely amazing with their buttermilk mashed potatoes. 15 out of 10 definitely recommend.Service is super friendly with a warm and inviting atmosphere.Will return soon. Thank you so much for the fantastic meal!

This is a great place . Food is awesome. Staff is really friendly. If your looking for a great night out for some wine and a great dinner this is the place.

First time we went here casino was new and we weren't impressed. I must say we went again today to celebrate my brother's birthday we ordered calamari and shrimp cocktail both were great! We had 2 steaks and lamb chops everyone was full and satisfied. I thought our server was excellent. I also thought it was very thoughtful of him to give my brother a piece of cheesecake as a birthday dessert very nice sentiment my brother was happy and said it was ? delicious. I would highly suggest trying the calamari it was very delicious lamb chops looked delightful just a little small.

Not very impressive. We've eaten here twice and we don't have very good things to say about it. First time we ate there they were out of 2 cuts of steak, bone in filet and regular filet? We ordered ny strips and they were tough and over cooked. Giving 3 stars because some of the sides/desserts were tasty. The 2nd time my steak was bland and undercooked, had to send it back. My wife's steak was cooked properly but also bland. Took about an hour and a half to get our food. Loaded up on warm rolls/butter (which was good) till our food came! Pricey for the quality or lack there of... 2.5 stars

The crab leg appetizer was amazing, but for the amount I believe the portion was too small. Service was great. Everything I had was delicious.

This is the second time eating here and the second time It is nothing to write home about. The french onion soup is ok at best - I ordered a filet NOT char broiled - that is not what I received, but found out half way through the meal that my order was given to someone else at my table
