☆ ☆ ☆ 3/5 stars

We ate at red Steakhouse a few months ago when we were much newer to the area and desperate to find a good steak (now we know of a good local butcher and can make our own).

I almost always prefer to cook my own filet because the taste and price are unbeatable when you have the right tools (simple enough you just need an cast iron stovetop griddle and some aluminum foil - I can further explain at a different time). But, as it was, we weren't yet unpacked and were also in the mood to visit the nearby casino.

We started our meal off with a few appetizers: the Trio of Tuna and Prime Beef carpaccio - the tuna was delightful but the beef escapes my memory (which means it couldn't have been too wonderful). For my main course, I ordered the petit felit, cooked medium, while pricey at $37 (though for casino-based restaurants, reasonable) - the cook and cut were right on point.

But, I must resort back to my old gripe: the dreaded wine choices. For a place with entrees that cost upwards of $30 per person, Sutter Home should not be on your wine list at all. We ordered a bottle of Rodney Strong Chardonnay for the table, as it was more affordable than ordering by the glass for other choices. On a positive note, they did have Kendall Jackson Chardonnay as a choice to order by the bottle (it is one of my favorites).

All in all, the atmosphere did boast a certain higher-end dining than many of the restaurants in the area and the servers presented the food quite formally.

I would say it's basically on point for the price to dine. You pay for the casino-based location and the steaks were much better than other restaurant choices.
