I’ve been here a few times over the years as I have family who goes to the casino and likes to take us to eat here. Honestly it’s kind of a drag; the food overall isn’t great but isn’t awful, but the service is slow even when it’s not busy. The wait staff is nice but forgets to bring drinks or is not attentive.
To go more into detail on the food, the quality varies depending on what you get and between different components of a single meal. Seems like any meat and seafood is prepared well, but vegetables less so. When I ordered the vegetable risotto, I thought it was bland, and the asparagus and tomatoes were over-cooked but the brussels sprouts weren’t cooked enough. I ordered the seared scallops last time and the scallops were excellent as was the salmon I tried from one of my family member’s plates, and the crab cakes are also amazing. The coleslaw side was not bad but very pedestrian, like the stuff you can get in a tub at the grocery store. I really enjoyed the whiskey bread pudding and the cheesecake, the key lime pie was just too sweet and one-note for me – all the desserts are big and very sweet, so I think it’s best to share.
I guess it’s a good choice considering what’s available at Tioga Downs, especially factoring in the more sophisticated atmosphere here compared to the restaurants on the casino side, but I myself would not choose to come here were it not for family obligations.

We had reservations @ 8pm. When we arrived, we waited 10 minutes for a hostess to come to the front desk. She wasn’t friendly at all & she said the kitchen was behind so we won’t be seated for 30 minutes. We ended up waiting 45 minutes past our reservation time. Then, we waited 15 minutes at our table before our waitress came over to get our drink order. Waited another 15 minutes for her to bring the bottle of wine. There was an awful stench throughout the restaurant for some reason as well. We heard the table next to us complain about their food so we were hesitant to order big meals. I ordered the Mac and cheese which looked good at first, but it was SOOO SALTY it was completely inedible and the bacon was raw. The breadsticks were like hockey pucks, could’ve broken a tooth on them. The steak was okay but the potato seemed like it had been left out for 2 days. When we told the waitress about the food quality, she just took it off the table and didn’t offer a substitution. We were only charged for the wine and the steak thankfully, but still an awful experience especially for Valentine’s Day.

Excellent service. We were seated quickly and had a really attentive and friendly waitress. Our food came out fast and was piping hot. Our entrees were delicious. They made us amaretto coffee to go with a delicious cherry cobbler for dessert.

Service was friendly but bread and appetizers came out together. then 5 minutes later our entree’s came out we had to tell them we were not ready. The place was so loud it was like a dive bar atmosphere. And the food itself was very low quality and after examining it and taking my leftovers and showing some other people, we realize the steak meat is synthetic man-made beef and fish at high quality prices !

The portions are ridiculously small and high priced. Example, $42. Ish for 4 scallops, 50.00 for a tiny piece of steak. Read that menu good, a child portion is what you will receive! Never again.
Go to a dinner then go gamble. Or your gambling starts when you eat there.

My fish was so greasy it was disgusting, my bf got prime rib he said is was tasteless. No refill on our drinks the whole hr we were there we sat next to our dirty dishes from the appetizer plates ect… the whole time .We will Never ever go back here for dinner ,I’m guessing it’s more of a burger (lunch place ) than a nice dinner place! So disappointed

For a high-end restaurant at a casino, I must report my mediocre and lackluster meal. My wife and I experience wedge salad and 3 onion soup with prime rib. I have eaten @PJ’S in NYC so I was excited but the meal just fell short.

We had a reservation for 5 pm. Which was when were seated . We were served our dinner at 6:25. When I asked why our food was taking so long, I was told that nobody told the hostess that there should be no walk ups, therefore the kitchen was very busy. Regarding the food, the board at the entrance and the description by the waitress was that included 3 large scallops, but when it was served she told my guest that the board and description she read was wrong and it only contained 2 scallops. I ordered prime rib, which I have there before, and when it came it had a hunk of pure fat that was at least 25% of my serving of meat. I have had plenty of prime rib and even prepared it myself, and I expect some fat on it but this was a huge hunk 3/4 of an inch thick on my piece of meat, no cutting around it or anything, just a hunk of fat. I can’t imagine a professional chef serving that to a customer, nor can I imagine management not honoring the advertisement of 3 scallops , just “sorry “when 3 parts of the meal were all ready served (especially after waiting an hour for the first part)

This was our first time here. My fiancé and I are visiting family in the NY area and planned this outing for two birthdays. Cassie was our server and she was AMAZING… She was very attentive, honest, knew the menu very well and was able to help with suggestions. We just loved her! The food was great (everyone loved their dishes/appetizers). I had a cocktail and that was good, too. We would definitely go back the next time we visit.
