The bartender taking care of us was great, but we waited an hour to get our food during restaurant week on a wednesday . The Restaurant wasn’t busy at all the manager (women) then came up to us after we had gotten our food almost 2 hours later we had finished and offered us 20% she was not apologetic at all. It felt like a kick in the face for over $100 dinner for two people the snow crab was awful Tasted like a spoiled fish. it was my birthday to top it all off so just super disappointing

When I was here a year or so ago, it was good, thoroughly enjoyed it then. This time… meh. Nathan was great though – friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The food though was average.
Asian kabobs, a bit bland and overcooked; crab cake, um, just okay and would be better with a remoulade or aioli (unless they forgot it on ours), and they were very small; calamari, chewy and they should serve with a spoon or something as the sauce is at the bottom but I can get over that… it was just too chewy; fries or frites were good but again the steak on top was overcooked (or maybe everyone prefers really well done here hmmmm). The shrimp cocktail was good, and I liked that they included a dollop of horseradish on the sauce as an option.
Other that that, the atmosphere was pretty dull. Lots of space, but no energy, nothing on the walls, nothing on any surfaces so maybe they were going for a clean aesthetic but seemed a bit empty feeling because of it. No vibe at all.
In any case, good service and food looked pretty at least. Overall was a bit average though.

We waited at the Host desk for 10 minutes only to have the Host tell us it’s reservations only due to staffing issues. As we were leaving the casino the Players Club announced the specials at Bourbon 72, a bourbon tasting is taking place, no waiting in line so head right over to Bourbon 72. Players Club had no idea it was reservations only, all of us in line were turned away while only 2 tables were occupied. Terribly managed organization, we’ll pass on this casino on our future travels. Would put zero stars if possible as the Hostess was very rude about the whole situation.

Server kept drinks full. Waited 30 mintues for food. Wild Mushroom Soup was exquisite. Tomhawk steak delectable.

My wife and I have been going for about a decade. I brought my 2 sons yesterday and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. The quality started going down 2 years ago but this was just ridiculous. It took nearly an hour for the food to be delivered. When it did come to the table, everything was stone cold. I was told by a member of the waistaff, that the manager was upset because I had said it was ordered nearly an hour ago. His contention was it had only been ordered 48 minutes prior. Bland, cold food. Animosity from the manager. Our waiter was great but the manager made us feel demeaned. An hour for sub-par food compared to prior years when there was only 5 other tables is just sad. Do better. $242 for our cold meals. Nothing was even warm. Again, do better or we won’t be back.

We ate here for a celebration dinner and it was absolutely amazing! Our server Aaron was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and also very friendly and attentive. There was quite a large menu selection, we had the ravioli Bolognese and the Sirloin 31 steak with sides and everything was delicious. You do have to make reservations here.

One of my favorite dinners. Great service, exceptional food, nice atmosphere. You wouldn’t even know u were inside a casino. For our appetizer we had the Arancini, which was the best I have ever had. The 16 oz Ribeye steak and petite fillet were cooked to perfection. Definitely will return

Our dinner on new years day was excellent! Our favorite waiter Braden was not in, but Colin was amazing & is now added to our favorites! He took our large order of Appetizers, salads, bread, steaks, seafood, sides, desserts and coctails & timed everything like a coursed dinner experience. His enthusiasm, timing and service was exceptional! Coctails were excellent, food was fresh & delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience thanks to Colin, you are amazing! We told you that you are now on our roster when when come into town to dine at bourbons 72 & we look forward to seeing you again. You created the perfect night out! Thank you!

Our dinner experience last night was wonderful. The special appetizer of waygu steak was delicious! We ordered lots of small bites to share, including Mushroom soup, traverse salad, crusted walleye, yorkshire pudding and the waygu special. The chocolate mousse at the end of night was light and fresh with the orange added. Our server was Braden and he was excellent! We’ve dined at bourbon’s 72 several times in the past and it was never as good as last night. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you Braden for a great experience. The best yet.

Was hyped up & ready to go to this place after looking at other reviews. We left extremely dissatisfied. Thought the atmosphere was nice, however the food was below average. Ordered their signature bourbons 72 steak medium and it came gray and basically rare. Sent it back and it came back looking more gray. No seasoning used on their vegetables, or on the steak even though it stated specific seasonings. Was given a salmon pâté on a spoon; wasn’t offered, just given. Their beef curry, butternut squash soup was OK. But basically the start of our vacation was ruined with this dinner & we will not return.

The highlights of our dinner was the bread service and our server Colin. It’s really not his fault that the food is super sub par. I really expected more for $150 (for 2 people). Colin is doing a great job, he deserves to work somewhere where the food quality matches his great attitude!
