    We were seated at the bar, and it felt like a private dining experience. Great food, great service, and not once did I feel rushed. There are four places to dine-outside in an “igloo”, inside at tables, at a sofa seating area or at the bar. Since it was Christmas Eve, the only reservation we could get at the last minute was the bar. Good choice! Frankly, any area would be a good choice. 2 of 3 in our party chose the prixe fixe meal with appetizer, main and dessert for $55. I chose the lobster deviled eggs and beet salad. So much food! And so good😋

    Beautiful restaurant, they recently expanded it and it’s huge! For it being Christmas Eve in a packed restaurant our food came out amazingly quick. Our drinks were constantly filled, our waiter was outstanding in always checking with us. Food 10/10. It is pricey and definitely a splurge but compared to the other restaurants in harrahs/harveys this is by far the best. Don’t waste your money elsewhere, it’s worth the splurge. The cheesecake and the butterscotch pudding were the best desserts we’ve ever had.
