I visited on Trip Tip night and specifically asked for the reddest piece from the roast. However, the server served me a well-done end and said that was all they had. I requested to speak with the manager, but I was told he was at the register and I would need to go there to address my concerns. I’m not sure I’ll be trying the buffet again. If I go back to Belle, I think I’ll opt for Riverside instead.
I would give this place zero stars if I could. We were staying at the hotel and decided to eat at the restaurant. After a long wait, we were finally seated, but the hostess seemed overwhelmed. Our waitress took our order, delivered our drinks, and then vanished. She didn’t come back until it was time to present the bill because she was busy chatting with friends at another table. Yes, you read that right. Someone else brought our meals, and I had to flag down another waiter just to get straws and refill our tea from a waitstation where we found a pitcher. Meanwhile, our waitress was still socializing. When she finally returned with the bill, we were too frustrated to leave a tip. The hostess was also absent for quite some time, which only made our wait longer. On the bright side, the sandwiches were good. Overall, I cannot recommend eating here at all.
I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The staff were outstanding, paying great attention to detail and ensuring that the buffet stayed neat and appealing. They promptly cleared away any extra plates, which I really appreciated. The food was of excellent quality for the price, and this place is hands down one of the most Instagram-worthy casino restaurants I've ever been to. They also host a seafood night, which is a fantastic feature. The bar was well-stocked, and the decor was impressive, with tables labeled by docking bay numbers and various themed items hanging from the ceiling. Additionally, there are several discounts available through the casino. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
Sunday champagne brunch was subpar. The food was warm and most of it was fresh. There wasn't a good variety for the price. 6-8 pans for each bay of breakfast, international foods, cereals/muffins, fruit. The salad bar had the most options. The service was very good, helpful and friendly. I will not go here again for breakfast.
