   I'm in love with the short ribs and the honey butter for the bread basket! The food has never disappointed! I love dining close to the kitchen to take in the show while enjoying my delicious meal and watching the tomahawk presentations table side. We've caught cocktails at the bar and of course dinner with friends and the restaurant. Such a cool vibe and atmosphere--so close to home. We will keep coming back for more. Kudos!

   Food a little pricey, but excellent. Restaurant overall was a good experience. Well worth the visit. Will definitely eat there again.

   Salad was great, potato was great, lamb was great, steak was dry, overcooked, certainly not prime, but a thin new york stip definitely cooked by someone who doesn't have a clue. Drinks were great. Bread was not good either.

   Food was just ok. Not at all worth the price though. I've had better for less. My friends food was subpar and the waiter told her a different kind of pasta came with meal than what she received. She did get a discount because of that however. Everyone from cooks to waitstaff seemed very young and it showed in food quality and service. They were all nice but the inexperience was very telling.

   The value is the service and food preparation is high end. The staff is young and great team work is exhibited. The management team is amazing. Steaks are delicious and braised short ribs are amazing.

   Sorry have to go in on this place. I understand this is only a week or so since opening, but as an Executive Chef myself, I found this "Prime Cuts" steakhouse?..very disappointing. !st of all, why is it inside the casino and open towards it? Asked for a booth and hostess said there would be a 20 minute wait; even though we had a reservation and there might have been 5 parties total in there; meanwhile I counted at least 6 booths available. So during that 20 minutes, not 1 booth was filled...smh. Our server Michael, we could barely hear because he talks very low and with all of the casino noise it was even harder to hear him. What I did here was after he took our order that he'd be back with some bread...I'll come back to that later.... Ordered a petite filet for $48 and a loaded baked potato for $10; no sour cream; but whatever. My fiancée's poached lobster looked good and she said was good. My filet...as a chef it's hard to get out; especially on a Saturday and when I do I want a nice filet. When i got this said 8oz filet, I thought they gave me a flat iron steak because that's exactly what it looked like... FLAT! glad I ordered it med rare because 30 seconds longer It would've been well done. CHEF, cumin seasoning...REALLY?!!! 8 ounces $48 for something that looked like it cost $8. For that amount of money, in this type of business/upscale restaurant, I'm expecting a nice thick center cut tenderloin, but instead I got an overly cumin seasoned hockey puck of steak....Potato: had to have been reheated from the day before. Light brown inside, hard inside and out, definitely not fresh; remember, "loaded"; a sprinkle of cheese maybe a 1/2 teaspoon of bacon and a quarter stick of butter. Both of our spuds were old. Oh and I know that you guys cross utilize products throughout the casino, but you should carry coke products, not Pepsi, j/s. ...so that's i....oh...Michael comes back, asks if there is anything else,....um...bread??? Just not good for $110.

    I was disappointed that a high-end restaurant didn’t have light Bacardi rum.
