Pure elegance, definitely fine dining vibes done right. The complimentary Amuse Bouche at the start of the meal was a pleasant surprise. We tried:CH beet ricottaNY strip 16 ozJumbo asparagusGrilled broccoliniSmoked salmonChive whip potatoPistachio butter cake Every dish was a hit, clean plates all around. The CH beet ricotta was a bit unexpected, we were picturing more of a salad style dish, so it threw us off at first, but still flavorful. The smoked salmon ended up being my personal favorite, it was perfectly seasoned and wonderfully balanced. Also, the rich butter cake was delicious! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekend evenings when things get lively.

This place would be 5 stars if not for the food poisoning. We had been to Chop House once before…read moreand had a wonderful experience. I had given it 5 stars then, which I included in an overall review of the Monarch where it is located. However, with this last visit, that was not the case at all. This is an upscale, dimly lit steakhouse, and we had an amazing time trying it for our anniversary a while back. When we went to celebrate my birthday this year, it was a different story. Though service was attentive, prompt and friendly (which of course was reflected in our tip) I cannot give extra stars, as the food physically made my husband ill. He decided to have the lobster bisque, and unfortunately it immediately did not sit well with him. I tried it as well, and it tasted rancid. Being polite, he just pushed it to the side and did not say anything. Then the staff came over a few times asking about the bisque, then proceeded to comp it, which made us even more concerned. I'm a professional chef, and we do not serve anything that tastes or smells even remotely questionable, especially when it comes to seafood. He was ill for hours afterward (and into the next day). After tasting it myself, I could not stomach much more of our very expensive meal. My steak and French onion soup were fantastic in flavor, but I was not able to enjoy much of it, as I also had a nasty taste from the bisque and felt nauseous just from the smell alone. They did bring me a free birthday dessert, which I appreciate. However, I did not get to choose what I was eating. They brought out pumpkin cheesecake. To give credit- I'm sure it was chosen because it's a popular dish, but I personally do not like pumpkin at all. In fact, it makes me gag, frankly. I do however, love cheesecake and tried a bite to be polite, but I did not like it, let alone want it. I decided not to say anything about the dessert they chose for me, since I did not pay for it, and we were trying to get out of there due to not feeling great after the food served. I was disappointed even more at this point, as it would've been nice to at least be able to choose and enjoy my "celebration dessert", especially considering how much money we spent- even less the bisque. Not to mention how awful the experience was due to food poisoning. We will not be back, which is unfortunate considering how great our first experience was. This experience was awful enough to deter us from further visits....

The price is a bit steep at ~$60/person for dinner on the weekends, but the quality and variety of food is decent for the price. First off, the queen of the buffet, or any buffet in my opinion, are the lobster tail and snow crab. When you pay, 2 redemption coupons are handed per person; one for a lobster tail and one for 2 snow crab clusters. Although this may seem like it is not much, it really is plenty of food unless the plan is to only eat lobster and snow crab (please refer to attached picture). The pho station is ok and the prime rib was very salty, but other than those two, everything else tasted great. Service is top notch. Our server checked in on us and cleaned up our discarded lobster/crab remains very quickly and frequently. Make sure to tip your servers even at buffets!

So this "steakhouse" is located in The Horseshoe Casino and Hotel Blackhawk. Nice enough atmosphere…read morenothing terribly fancy but nicer that Texas Roadhouse and such. I do believe we were celebrating our anniversary . We had alot going on as we were in the middle of closing on our house and unfortunately missed our closing date so we treated ourselves to a weekend up on "The Hill". We've done all the buffets and were looking for something different. We've walked by this place numerous times, I looked up the reviews and for the most part seemed worth giving it a shot. But in my opinion what we paid for the meal and the tenderness of my steak we would have faired better at a Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn. Steak was slightly overcooked and sides were nothing to brag about. You'd be better off dropping the $80 for the buffet across the street at " The Monarch " And actually now that I think about out it I made the reservation online and did mention it was our anniversary but they didn't have our reservation not that we needed one but it was recommended on a Saturday night. But thats my opinion, so take your chances maybe you'll have a better experience. I do believe dinner for two ran , $280 . For me , pass, side bar... The baked potato was the best part of the meal!

He was ride or die for us and did everything in hus power to make sure we were taken care of 100%. We waited for our food for 2 hours! The kitchen misplaced our ticket and rushed to get our food to us. The food was absolutely terrible for how expensive it was. The bartender was MIA and our server made our drinks for us. And the drinks were honestly the best part! They did end up comping our entire meal because of our experience, but we made sure our server charged us a service fee so we could tip him generously. Again, Cory was absolutely incredible and made our experience worth while.

When we arrived without reservations they were still able to accommodate us and sit is in a booth. The restaurant wasn't full at all though, I don't know if I would expect to call for reservations. The place was clean and romantically lit. The servers were excellent. We ordered shrimp cocktail appetizer, a New York and a Fillet. Both paired with Lemon pepper Asparagus and baked potatoes. After ordering they brought us some rolls, this is where we were taken back. These were nothing but store bought Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, and they weren't even freshly bought. We passed on them, the shrimp cocktail was amazing so we have them a pass on the rolls. When the actual meal was served we found both the asparagus and baked potatoes were under cooked. Those this isn't difficult items to cook, we are the potatoes and passed on the asparagus. The steaks were less then par and very dry. They bring a side of gravy with them but this alone wasn't enough to make up for the tough dry steak. I know I am from Wyoming and will challenge anyone to compete with our states top steak houses, but I think I wouldn't compare this to the worst of them. It's about like eating warm jerky, even then I think there is more moisture in jerky. Never again. The service is the only reason they received 3 stars the meal is less than desirable, the price is definitely not reflective of anything but the price.

Dinner! Yum!

Cheers!

Despite the historical nature of the building, I was disappointed to see that the interior looked neglected and dated.
