I came here for my birthday and I have to say this was genuinely one of the best experiences I…read morehave ever had at a restaurant. We had the Filet mignon, spiced lamb chops, potato puree and Mac and cheese as well as starting with the bread platter and ending with the sticky toffee pudding. Both the lamb and filet mignon was cooked perfectly and they basically melted in your mouth. The potatoes were so smooth and delicious, and the mac and cheese was some of the best I've had. The sticky toffee pudding was something I was skeptical of, but it being chef Ramsay's specialty I was keen to try it and was happy I did, it was quite delicious and it's description of ingredients don't do the flavor justice, I would highly recommend anyone try it. Our server was George, and I am so happy we ended up with him as our server. He has a great personality and was happy to talk to us and joke with us over the course of dinner and was always prompt about our needs and to updating us on the status of our food. A member of the management by the name of Moona came around to talk to us and she was incredibly sweet and happy and eager to hear our feedback. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect of a restaurant by Gordon Ramsay. Modern, simple, but extremely nice. Overall I cannot recommend this restaurant enough to anyone who has their eye on this place. The food is an amazing experience and the staff work overtime to make the experience unforgettable.

So disappointed to write this review, but the establishment left me no choice. We stopped by here…read morebefore an event/performance. My husband had a beer while I walked around. One beer. He paid with a credit card and left a cash tip and then we headed into the event. When the credit card bill arrived, the charge was $48. Ummmm.... What? I wanted him to call the bar before disputing the charge with the credit card. I figured management would want to know their bartender added a $33-plus tip to his bill (on top of the cash tip he left) and have the ability to issue a credit and make it right. They said they'd locate the receipt and get back to him. He called again, maybe 5 days later, and they basically said the same thing. It's been another five days. He still hasn't heard from them. I recommend avoiding this establishment. Or at least don't use a card if you do go. Pay cash so you can't be massively overcharged. So disappointed in management for not even calling us back.

It was okay, seating but pretty drab. Don't think they have the dueling pianos any more.read more

His customer service and hospitality is what keeps us coming back although my parter and I are no longer weekly visitors we do try to always make a stop here when we are in town. Prices are pretty fair for a hotel bar and I've honestly never had a bad drink here. The feel of this area is almost nostalgic listening to old classic songs as music videos played on the tvs. The only thing we miss is our bartop black jack game.

Still not a fan of the computer pours. It makes for light drinks. Although the bartender was nice…read morethe drink was so so. I do love the atmosphere I just wish they eliminated the smaller pours. My favorite bartender no longer works here, she was the best. I'm hoping Caesar's will make a change and bring back the bartenders.

Ok this place caught me by surprise. I was thinking it was going be a large restaurant because you…read morecannot see it from the road, but they have a large street sign. For years I've been wanting to try this place. After an outing in the Desert with my sister-in-law, we decided to try this restaurant it would be both our first time. My sister-in-law and I walked into the restaurant and found the place to be very busy as you would expect at dinner time. The crowd was mostly elderly, could be regulars. For appetizers, we ordered the potato skins. For our meals, I ordered the special of the day, Seabass with pilaf, and vegetables. My sister-in-law ordered the soft crab cake. And before our appetizer and meals arrived we were served a basket of rolls which looked like regular rolls, but when you bit into them, they were warm and very tasty. Both of our meals were very good. Sadly we had no room for dessert. Where our table was situated, we could see pretty much the entire restaurant. The only thing that was not visible was the sitting bar but everywhere you sat, you would be looking out a window. It is all around the windows. One of the window area they had hummingbird feeders hanging, and you could see the hummingbirds haven't their dinner as well. Service was very friendly. I would love to come back and try some other items on their menu..

The hummingbirds were outside our windows and it was like dinner & a show. Food wasn't fabulous…read more(tortilla soup & chicken sandwich)but super sweet staff & incredible watching all the hummingbirds. Still recommend going!!!

Center Bar is, not surprisngly, in the center of Pala Casino…read more The best part of Center Bar is the stage above and behind the bar that features a full calendar of live music. The worst part is $9 pints of beer and the indifferent service from the bartenders. This was our go-to bar during our stay at Pala. We were part of a large group staying at the hotel as we were all attending a wedding nearby. The bar's central location made for a convenient meeting spot. The bar is large with a lot of bar top seating and even more 4-tops behind. The live music was great and pumped up the energy and vibe of the entire place. As mentioned, service was a bit indifferent and typically pretty slow. Not a lot of bartender/patron interaction, they were really busy at night, so understandable. Yet even during morning hours when it was slow the bartenders weren't especially personable.

Worth the price of admission…read more Drinks are reasonably priced and the entertainment is well worth the visit. Bartenders are quick and have heavy pours. I'll be back for sure.

A Fantastic Getaway for Entertainment, Dining, and Relaxation!…read more Pala Casino is a great destination for anyone looking to enjoy a fun and memorable experience in Southern California! From the lively atmosphere to the variety of entertainment, dining, and gaming options, there's something for everyone to enjoy. What makes Pala special is that it offers more than just a casino experience. It's a wonderful place to unwind, enjoy a delicious meal, spend quality time with loved ones, and take a break from the everyday routine. The resort atmosphere makes it a great option for a date night, a weekend getaway, or a fun outing with friends. I always appreciate places that combine entertainment, hospitality, and a welcoming environment into one experience. Pala Casino is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a little excitement and relaxation all in one place! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun getaway in the area. Looking forward to visiting again!

An okay place to stay, but definitely has room for improvement…read more Secluded casino and hotel in Pala, accessible by winding roads through the mountains. The casino is small, but it looks like they're trying to expand or rearrange the space by moving the slot machines and placing the tables on one side. The parking garage has security cameras, which is a plus. The hotel hallways are dark, dull, and dated, with pale gray walls. Unfortunately, the room was also very dark, with not enough lamps or lighting. You might want to bring your own portable light! The bed was comfortable, and there were plenty of outlets to charge your electronics. Room 637 did not have a luggage rack and had a connecting door to the neighboring room. Wi-Fi worked fine. The bathroom is spacious but could use some artwork or color. The toilet has its own door, but the lighting in there is poor. I didn't use the tub. The shower was a disappointment. There was no hot water at 11 p.m., although it was available at 6 a.m. The water pressure was also too strong, and somehow, water leaked all over the bathroom floor despite the shower glass door being closed. The small bath mat wasn't enough to soak it all up, so be careful not to slip & fall! The pool area was closed, which was disappointing considering it was still warm outside. There's also no spa on-site, despite the hotel's name being Pala Spa & Casino. No buffet either. I didn't try any of the restaurants on the property, and there aren't many other dining options nearby. You'll need to drive to Temecula for more choices. Check-in was another downside. If you arrive early, you'll be told to wait until the official check-in time. By then, the line can get extremely long, with only two employees working behind the counter. Overall, it's an okay place to stay if you're visiting the casino, but don't expect anything luxurious. The hotel could use some updates, better lighting, and improved amenities and service.

5 Stars I was…read morepleasantly surprised by how amazing the Pala Cheeseburger was at Luis Rey inside Pala Resort & Casino! Honestly, I walked in expecting 3-star food (blame the noodle place next door), but boy, was I wrong. This is a great burger, hands down! The Pala Burger is absolutely delicious--cooked to order, packed with fresh, quality ingredients, and full of flavor. It's clear they take pride in making it right. And no, I wasn't drinking, so this review is 100% sober-approved! The atmosphere is fantastic too. The TVs and sound system make it a super pleasant spot to sit, relax, and enjoy a great meal. If you're here, ORDER THE PALA BURGER and thank me later. It's worth every bite!

The hours of operation for Luis Rey's Sports Bar at Pala Casion suck…read more A "sports" bar not open for sports. College football kicks off at 9:00 AM on the west coast and lasts literally all day. Luis Rey's doesn't open until 4:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The NFL kicks off at 10:00 AM on Sundays. Luis Rey's doesn't kick off until 1:00 PM. Sunday Night Football? You might miss the end of the game as Luis Rey's closes at 9:00 PM. They close at 9:00 on Thursdays also, so the end of the Thursday Night Football game is in jeopardy also. Monday Night Football? Forget it. Luis Rey's is closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We never actually went to Luis Rey's. We stayed one night at Pala on a Saturday; we were attending a wedding nearby. We had to get to the venue about the time Luis Rey's opened, and we didn't return until after they closed. Looked like a decent bar. If only they were open when sports are being televised.

On our first day staying at Pala Casino, I went to the Poolside Cafe & Bar to grab some lunch while…read moreBecky was with the bridal party getting ready. I sat at the bar and immediately I was invisible. I sat. And I sat. And I sat some more. A solid 10 minutes or more. At one point I stood up to check what was on a different TV than the one above me. Upon my return, the bartender finally acknowledged my existence and said, "Sorry, I guess I left you hanging". I then ordered a beer, which he poured right away. While I had his attention I ordered my meal. After all, I had plenty of time to look at the menu. Then the 2nd round of invisibility started. I finished my beer and was ready for another. I waited. And I waited. And I waited some more. About an additional 15 minutes. I finally caught the attention of the other bartender and ordered a 2nd beer that was never brought to me. Finally, the first guy came back, so I ordered it from him. As he was bringing it to me, I heard him tell one of the young servers, "Make sure it's medium rare". Wait, what?! That's my burger order! You're just now putting it in? WTF? Invisible indeed! Another 15 minutes went by before my burger and "frings" (fries and onion rings) arrived. I realize that the guy was keeping busy with the walk-up customers, but I was right there! Sitting right in front of him! I finished half of the burger and had a lot of rings and fries leftover and needed a to-go box. Good gawd! More waiting ensued. I finally caught a young woman as she was leaving the kitchen area and asked her for a box which she grabbed for me. Trying to get the bartender's attention for the check ended up being yet another exercise in futility. At least the burger was good (really good in fact), the fries too, the only redeeming quality of my visit. The onion rings? Meh. Straight from a bag of frozen.

The pizza is excellent. The Pizzaiolo used to work in a famous Vista based Italian restaurant and…read moreit looks like he took his recipes with him ;-) Even though the pizzas are baked in a convection oven, the dough remains the best you can find in the county. The toppings and arrangements are so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Prices are fair for the location. Service is really great, friendly staff and the ambience is great (by the pool, by the pool bar, under a covered patio). The music is slightly loud though but I will definitely go back and try more! Note that you can enter the restaurant and also enjoy the bar without a pool pass.

We came here as a group of 7 after a Saturday morning activity and this place was lovely!…read more I love how beautiful the front bar space is, a very green and shaded area, almost reminded me of being in the Caribbeans. I immediately fell in love with the place. They have lots of great beers on tap so you won't be lacking in options. Since I definitely sweated it out a lot this morning, I opted for a michelada. I also ordered ceviche, which is available on Fri and Sat and they use tilapia to make the ceviche. Service was a little slow but I wasnt in a rush, so no big deal. Food and beverage were good! I enjoyed coming here and would come back when in the area!
