We had a very nice meal last night and our food and the service was top notch. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer and all the table sampled it and found it very tasty. For our salads we enjoyed the house salads and wedge salads. For the entrees we had the filets, new york strip and the blackened neptune. We also tried a dessert and found the evening and the dinner most pleasurable. We look forward to dining with them in the future.

Great location on the banks of the Ohio River. Had excellent seating. My steak was perfectly seared medium and my wife had the shrimp pasta which she enjoyed. I had an excellent old fashioned which was mixed perfectly. My wife had margarita which was delicious. Highly recommended for a celebration. The prices are reasonable for a fine dining restaurant.

We were there on a Saturday night to celebrate a 21st birthday. The service was great along with the sides. My wife and I had the Prime Rib which we both thought was not near as good at the price tag. My daughter had the pasta which she enjoyed. I would say if you are going pick something other than the Prime Rib.

We made reservations a few days before Valentine’s Day and we were able to get in at 9pm. We got there early and they seated us right away. Tawni was our waitress and she was very friendly had a nice personality and you could tell she enjoyed her job. The bread is always delicious with a good serving and the main course was very good. They had special Valentines drink and desserts. We have been many times before and will return in the future.

Great place to have dinner and play at Ballys. It is great for formal or casual parties. It is well staffed with very friendly professional people. It is really easy to find using Google Maps. There is plenty of free parking in their large multi-story parking garage. The food here is great and will come out as ordered. The have a great jumbo shrimp and pasta .

My husband and I were here for a weekend trip. We were warmly greeted by Lisa the bartender. She was so much fun to interact with. We laughed a lot! Robert and I both had the shrimp linguine and chocolate torte for dessert. Everything was delicious! Nice atmosphere, great service and delicious food!
