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.

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.

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!

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.

Our party was separated into two, and the tables were no where near each other. We talked to the manager about the seating arrangements, however they said they were waiting for a reservation that NEVER ARRIVED. Our party was never assigned a waiter, which lead to confusion regarding our orders. The waiters/waitresses were EXTREMELY unwelcoming, and passive aggressive. When regarding questions about the menu we were told just look at the menu, or it doesn 't state anything on the menu not much help with the food selection, which is ultimately why we ordered off the wrong menu. Beyond the incredibly poor service, the food was unsatisfying and down right pathetic. Our sliders were burned, tacos were bland with zero taste or flavor and that was after waiting an hour. If you want horrible service and overpriced tasteless food with a side of awkwardness make sure to give this place a try!

Not a huge selection, but not too small either. Prime rib was cold, and I'm fairly certain they had fake bacon (or at least, oddly tasting bacon)... but mimosas service were good, and most of the food was fine. I'd go again, but in honestly, they should price down to $15 (rather than $20).

The hostess seemed overwhelmed, and when our waitress came to take our order, she hurriedly placed our drinks on the table and walked away. She didn’t come back until it was time to bring us the bill, as she was too busy chatting with friends at another table—seriously. Our meals were served by someone else, and we had to flag down another waiter to get straws. We even had to refill our own tea from a pitcher we found in the wait station while our waitress continued socializing. Finally, she returned to hand us the bill, but we didn't leave a tip. The hostess was also missing for a while, which only added to our frustration. The only redeeming quality was that our sandwiches were decent. I definitely wouldn’t recommend dining here… ever.

When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told he was working the register and that I could approach him there. I will never do the buffet again. If I return to the Belle, I think I'll stick with the Riverside instead.

They promptly clear away any empty plates. The food is high quality considering the price. It's the most photo-friendly casino restaurant I’ve visited. They also offer a seafood night and have a well-stocked bar. The theming is impressive, with tables labeled by docking bay numbers, pallets and lighting, and various dock-related decor hanging from the ceiling. There are several discounts available through the casino. I would definitely recommend this place.

However, the rest of the establishment is deteriorating, particularly the rooms. I suggest dining here but opting to stay at the Tropicana instead.
