The food was amazing and our server was very good and attentive to our table. Even though this restaurant is in a casino you didn't notice the noise and the tables were very quiet and spaced apart appropriately. Awesome dining experience with amazing food!

An absolute must, if you love great steaks! The meat is grass fed and hormone free. That's hard to find in Pittsburgh. We appreciate the quality of you meat!!! See you again soon!!

Terrible service and extremely slow, slow on getting waited on, extremely slow getting food, when paying 100 a plate you should get the best, absolutely not worth eating at this place

They did not honor the reservation. We checked in at 8:18 for an 8:30 reservation. They said it would take a few minutes to bus the table. They seated many people after that. We checked in one hour later and the lady snapped at us. She greeted someone she obviously knew very well and seated them. We checked in again, this time with someone else and was told they were busy, they were not. Before leaving the casino I asked why we were never sent the message and they stated we, "only stopped by once". Why would we need to check in multiple times? However, we did stop by. It was very unprofessional. I got the feeling that regulars are their priority. So if you're not a regular you may want to go when it's not busy.

- I was not pleased with the table I was seated at - I was not pleased when my meal finally arrived. They served a medium size steak, a medium sized baked potato, & a miniscule serving of asparagus on a salad plate sized dish. (I looked around at other patrons seated near me to see if their service was the same . . . it was not. I can only guess this can be attributed to the "single diner" treatment protocol. (If you have the audacity to make a reservation for "ONE" [any where] you should expect a lousy table & poor service.) - after my meal was brought to my table by someone other than my waitress, my waitress never bothered to stop at my table to see if I needed anything else until I was nearly finished. I was never offered the suggestion of a desert. - on line the restaurant's site states a dress code: "business casual." Every time I have been to this restaurant (including tonight) I have dressed above/beyond business casual. Tonight, like every other time I have dined here, I was thoroughly disappointed to see the number of patrons seated wearing not just jeans & t-shirts, but absolutely dirty jeans & t-shirts. At one point I was tempted to walk out prior to ordering when a female patron walked past me wearing "leggings."

The meal was good, but so over priced it left a gaping hole between $& $$$$. And this was a limited menu due to it being new years eve 2023-24 Our server was excellent. Friendly and very astute. She wasn't just there because she was on the schedule, she was there because that was her job and she did it well. Additionally, we were told from bartender, we could only purchase 2 drinks at a time. Multi liquor drinks counted as two so in order to even buy another long Island ice tea I had to step up to the bar and claim that i was the second party to his 2 drink max Although if you roll back security footage, you'll AT LEAST out of corner to the group of preps whom I watched carry drinks back to their table directly from the bar. Look at the footage that shows the blond with her hair in a bun, glitter jacket, carrying drinks by the fists. And yes I can pick the offenders who were held un accountable. We unfortunatelythis underwhelming inpression of the Mardi Gras Resort.

We had dinner on 1/20/24. Our server was Andrea. She was wonderful. We always go to Bella because she is top notch! She wasn't there. Very satisfied with our service however, the food was awful. We always have a good meal here so we were surprised. We both got the short ribs because they were out of the chicken. The short ribs, if you could call them that, were burnt & dry. I would not have served them they looked so bad. We used to get these in the past & they were always good. We told our server & she said she was sorry. Our meals should have been free because we basically got mashed potatoes. $84 for two small burnt pieces of meat & a small helping of mashed potatoes. I understand that it was after 9 pm but just shut down if you're going to serve something so bad. I know that Chef would have never let that out of the kitchen if he had been there. He is wonderful & always takes care of us. Would also like to give a positive review for a waitress named Petra Wagner. She is a hard worker that is always so very nice to us. She always has a smile no matter what. She makes sure we are always taken care of. I wish everyone would have the positive attitude that she has. She loves taking care of people & I cannot say enough positive things about her. Thank you so much Petra!! Would also like to say that Brandon, Garrett, & Matt always make sure everything is going good. They all always speak to us with a smile. Dealers Steven (older man), Craig, & Linus also do a great job. All of these people work hard to make coming there a great experience.

Our Server, Emily was excellent, the food was delicious and we had a great time together. I made a reservation, the hostess had our table ready, promptly sit us down even though we were a bit early. We spent the remainder of the night at the casino. We will be back in the future!

We have ate there 4-5 times. Honestly have not been impressed one time. Spent 155 dollars on a meal I could have gotten at any steak house with as good or better test for a fraction of the cost. I don't mind paying extra for a good meal but can nam3 several other places I can splurge for less than 100 and a much better meal. Bread lacked flavor. Nothing special butter was average at best. Just butter. Had the filet and it was ok. No wow seasoning and a tad dry for 50 bucks. Service has always been outstanding there and the people are very nice but the meal is not worth the money.

Have eaten there many times and have never had a bad meal or bad experience. Nice atmosphere, great service and the Hostess is the most friendly, helpful and accommodating you could ever want.

If you want an exquisite dinning experience the French Quarter is an excellent choice. The braised short ribs are outstanding no knife needed here. The service was fantastic. An overall outstanding experience.

Service was outstanding, food not so much the Prime rib was less than prime and the Au Juis was very cold. vegetables were uneatable. The bread and potato were very good. Overall I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Kenny

The ambiance was nice, from furniture to lighting to the menus to the table settings. The only two detractors: 1) The distracting noise from the casino floor 2) Obvious lack of dress code for patrons

The greeting, the service, and lastly the food. Top shelf the best experience we have ever had . We ordered steaks Oscar Style and it was delicious. Steaks were cooked perfectly. My husband who never has a lot to say about food, even let the server know that the chef was to be commended because he finally got a perfect steak! This experience will very hard to duplicate. Thank you.

We've had very positive experiences here in the past but unfortunately, last night was not one of them. Besides the service being very slow, our server was rushed when she was at the table, did not make eye contact, walked away before we were finished ordering, and was not welcoming at all. We felt hurried during dinner, instead of it being a relaxing and enjoyable time. As for the food, we waited quite a while for our filets to arrive, which were both over cooked. Not the normal standard for the French Quarter.
