Bugatti's Steak & Pasta

Great experience both times going. Wait times were a little long but they were packed. Staff was pleasant and courteous. Not cheap but worth every penny.

We had a party of 4 people for drinks and appetizers. Ray, our waiter, was very polished; leaving no detail undone. He gave us excellent service!

Wife and I had our 15th wedding anniversary dinner at Bugatti's in the Ameristar Casino. It was a bit dark for my taste, but cozy and friendly.

We started with a nice cabernet. To try something new, we bought a $120 middle-of-the-price-list bottle of Faust which was quite decent. The complimentary rosemary focaccia was delicious, and my Caesar salad (*with* the anchovies - they asked) was perhaps the best I have had, with a delightful crisped sheet of toasted parmesan in it instead of just some shredded from a block.

The toasted ravioli they brought was tasty, if not as impressive - until I hit a massive chunk of gristle. I didn't want to ruin the evening with an excessive reaction, so I didn't bother to complain and send it back, but I didn't eat any more of that, either. I suspect they would have replaced it.

My wife's salmon was excellent.

My own $60 12oz medium filet came with a single tiny chunk of roasted tomato with garlic and some greens, as you can see un the photo. The tomato was delicious, but ridiculously small. I predicted that as a restaurant norm and had already asked for a sliced fresh beefsteak tomato, which went very well with the meal. I also got cheddar garlic mashed potatoes which were wonderful, but could not effectively get them out of the dish they came in with my fork, and ended up leaving behind more than I liked.

The filet mignon was also quite tasty, but was *not* medium - it was *very* well done, with not the slightest hint of pink. When the waitress came to ask if everything was alright I had already eaten a third of it - it *was* good, and I was in good spirits, but she was appalled, and took it back to the kitchen. They brought me out another, and didn't charge me for either. Note that she wasn't slow or late, I was just eating enthusiastically. The second one was perfect.

They also gave us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We got the tiramisu, and I reccommend that to anyone.

Recently had dinner at Bugatti’s Steaks and Pasta at Ameristar Casino. Must say it was a great experience. Started with the jumbo shrimp cocktail. The cocktail sauce was fantastic. Had the pan roasted salmon, lemon-herb risotto, asparagus and roasted summer squash that was prepared perfectly and seasoned wonderfully. The chef even split the meal for my friend and I which was much appreciated. Finished with the lemon cheesecake which was extremely good. Our server, Sarah, did an awesome job and was very friendly. I will be back.
