During a recent visit to Council Oaks Steaks and Seafood at the Hard Rock Casino, I enjoyed a variety of dishes, including ribeye, salmon, oysters, Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and broccoli, along with a non-alcoholic berry drink.
The Brussels sprouts were the standout dish perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The virgin berry drink was exceptional, easily one of the best non-alcoholic beverages I’ve had, refreshing and delicious. The ribeye was cooked well and satisfying, and the oysters were fresh. The mashed potatoes and broccoli complemented the meal nicely.
However, the salmon was overcooked, with both the top and bottom burnt, which was disappointing given how simple it is to cook properly.
Service was polite but could use some improvement. When our appetizer of oysters was brought out, nobody came to clear the dish. The large oyster platter occupied most of the table, making it difficult to navigate space for our main courses. It wasn’t picked up until nearly the end of the meal, which was a bit disappointing considering there were only three tables dining that night. Additionally, some requested condiments were not brought, and follow-up check-ins after food was served were minimal. A bit more attentiveness would elevate the overall experience.
Price-wise, the steaks are reasonably priced, with meals around $275 including tax, which is fair for a high-end steakhouse. Council Oaks offers excellent flavors, especially for vegetable and drink enthusiasts, with potential for an even better experience with small improvements to service and kitchen execution.

First time at this place. One of the best restaurants in the area. The servers and the host are the nicest people and make sure you are treated well. The inside doesn’t smell like smoke but smells clean and pleasant, a nice break from the other side of the casino. The meals are fresh, delicious and mouth watering. The price is fair especially since it’s a nice restaurant and very convenient. Will definitely be coming back.

We recently sat at the bar at Council Oak and, unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. We started with the scallops, which were quite salty and just okay overall. There was also a fairly long wait before our burger arrived, and when it did, the patty was very thick and had a rubbery texture. The fries also didn’t feel very special, similar to what you might find at a fast-food restaurant.
I had really been looking forward to dessert, but the crème brûlée had very little custard and was covered with so many toppings that it overwhelmed the dish. I also ordered a mule that tasted extremely sour, which I didn’t enjoy. The service itself was fine, though it wasn’t very busy during our visit.
Overall, I left feeling disappointed, especially considering the price. I honestly think we might have had a better meal for half the cost at Hard Rock Cafe. I truly wanted to love the experience, but it just fell short for us.

The bar was pretty busy when I placed my take-out order. This place was pretty busy for a Friday night. Regardless of how busy it was the bartenders were super attentive.
The place itself was pretty inviting and had a modern but chill vibe. The display case of meats being aged were a sight to see. They had so many items I wanted to try.
We ordered:
1. Crab cakes – It had a nice crunch on the outside but flaky inside. I liked that it was simple but flavorful.
2. Porterhouse – I’m normally a ribeye kind of person but we switched it up and tried the Porterhouse. I was really disappointed. It was cooked perfectly, medium like I ordered but it was so tough and dry. I expected a little more juiciness and flavor since it is dry aged. I should have just stuck with a ribeye.
3. 1/2 lb maine lobster taill – perfectly cooked and was so tender. Dip it in the buttery goodness and your in heaven.
4. Mac and cheese – Cheesy yummy goodness, perfectly cooked.
5. Garlic Mashed potatoes – Who would’ve thought something so simple can be so satisfying. It was creamy and flavorful.
6. Brussel sprouts – I am not a brussel sprouts kind of person and wanted to get the broccolini or the asparagus but the bartender was raving on and on about how good it was. I gave in, it wasn’t bad. It was pretty good. It was sliced in quarters and was nice and crunchy.
7. Bread basket – I wasn’t sure if they provided bread so I ordered it just in case. All the breads were good except for the flat bread sesame thing. The ciabatta bread and twisty cheesy breads were our favorite.
The bartender that took my order was nice. I think his manager was more attentive and was making sure he was on it. When it came time to pick up my order, he ended up helping me. He made sure my order was complete.
After dinner we came back down hoping to try the dessert as well but the guy who first helped me was running around like a chicken with his head cutoff. He explained to me who he had to help and what he needed to do before getting to me. I said ok amd patiently waited for almost 10 minutes and just left. It was not worth it to wait much longer for dessert. To be honest I was prepared to order one of everything, but if the service was like this who would’ve known how my dessert would’ve come out. Too bad the manager or someone wasn’t there to help him. You would’ve thought for a Friday night they would at least have 2 people working the bar.

Good place for an aged steak. We tried the porterhouse and braised ribs and they good but the porterhouse has strong seasoning compared to other places but that was fine for me.
Bread was good and calamari appetizer tasted fine too.
It has been along day so we opt for iced tea instead of wine. It comes with four different kinds of sugar too. Next time we will need to try out a bottle of red wine to pair with the meat.
We had a reservation so it was easy to get seated and it wasn’t busy on a Saturday night. Get a reservation because some nights this place is packed.
There is a restroom towards the entrance so you won’t need to head out of the restrooms to wash your hands.

The place feels upscale, but not overly. Their wine list is wonderful, some very nice bottles. If you know what you’re looking for you can get decent deals for restaurant bottles. Some aren’t marked up at 300%, but all of them had about a 50%-250% mark up.
The bone marrow was delicious.
For a steakhouse, I was slightly disappointed in my main course though. I asked for medium, and my filet was blue, raw on the inside. I had surf n turf, which comes with two lobster tails, both were over cooked. Not overcooked too badly that they weren’t edible, but not tender in the way that makes a lobster tail stand out as great.
The garlic potatoes were super good.
The cheesecake was very well balanced for dessert, but the cheesecake itself was gritty and not smooth. Additionally, had I not already had so much wine in the evening I would have gotten some port or dessert wine as their selection again was phenomenal.
2 people was $350 – they gave me our neighbors bills accidentally so I saw that it’s possible for 2 people to eat for $170 as well.
But if you’re going, you may as well indulge, and get a decent bottle of wine.

We are huge fans of Morton’s and Ruth’s Cris but the food and service here were amazing. Easy reservations and fast seating. Everyone was nice and the table and restaurant were very clean. Food was amazing and steaks cooked properly. 0 complaints. We will definitely go back. We paid $220 plus tip for 2 people. 3 appetizers and 2 entrees and one side plus 1 soda. Slightly higher than Ruth’s but lower than Morton’s. I would have only suggested they do the warm plates. Other than that presentation was perfect down to the super sharp steak knives however you could have cut the filet with a plastic butter knife.

Was going to see a show the side of the stop by and grab dinner before hand on a Sunday night. They have the prime rib special and of course I have to get it. It was delicious. The sides were a little small in portion but that’s okay because it’s a whole bunch of meat! Sat at the bar had a couple drinks overall a very positive experience and would do it again.

I don’t think there is a better valentines restaurant that COSS!! Reservations are highly encouraged it not necessary.
The menu is very specialized for a steak house. The appetizers were bountiful and very enjoyable. We had a fancy spread of breads and the shrimp cocktail.
For the entrees, seeing as how it’s a steak house, we decided to go with the filet mignon ribeye and a lobster tail. The ribeye tasted very good but it seemed like it was a tad over cooked from my medium rare request.
The grand finale was the Banana Foster for 2 created table side. This is a MUST HAVE if you go. What an experience!!
5⭐️ all the way !!

Delicious food and drinks. We made reservations easily online. Service was fast and friendly. This is the second time we visited here. The first time we had the rib-eye and loved it. This time we had clam chowder, mushroom risotto, and the braised short ribs. All of it was amazing! They came out fresh and piping hot. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!
