"I do not get all the hate on this place. This was one of the best meals we've had in a while. We ordered a "8" ribeye and lamb chops. Both were done to perfection (and the ribeye included the baked potato) The brussel sprouts were perfect. They had a great wine selection and the day before had an Orin Swift tasting so they had a bunch of Orin Swift wines open and available by the glass. Will definitely return next time we are at the casino. The prices are perfectly aligned with the location and the quality of the food. For people who talk about it being right off the casino, that's true, but the casino noise was not even remotely audible in the restaurant."

"Let me begin with the ambiance being quite nice. We were rather pleased with the decor and plenty of room between tables with comfortable seating. Our service was nothing out of the ordinary. Just average, at best and I will explain in the next paragraph. One of our guests at the table ordered a smoked manhattan cocktail. When it arrived at the table, it was in a glass cabinet, when the server set it down. We thought it was going to fall over because there was only 3 legs on it. The other one was broken off and the server suggested he be careful. Are you kidding? I ordered a side salad and the greens were not a little brown....they were all brown. Can we say very unsightly. Finally, the culmination, with me ordering a ribeye steak. The price was 50+ dollars with your choice of potato. I ordered it medium rare. It came out medium well. When I made comment to the server, she wanted me to cut across the middle of the steak and show her. Anyway, she apologized and said she would bring me another. Sure enough, she did, and honestly it was more over cooked than the first one. She had me cut into it again and by that point everyone else was done. I said it was fine (because by that time, I had enough) from a steak house that does not deserve to be called a steak house. When the final bill came out, the server announced that she took off the steak because she didn't think it looked any different than the first one. REALLY. Honestly, I cannot recommend this restaurant."

"The service and ambiance was great. Nice and clean. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt. The old fashioned wasn't that great. I would suggest sticking to a traditional old fashioned. For the food, my wife and I each ordered a ribeye medium rare...it did not disappoint. Our sides, the wide rice and the mashed potatoes were very flavorful, buttery, and delicious. Also ordered the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese. It was very good, the cheese sauce tasted a little gritty, but that didn't stop me from eating the whole dish. Overall, I would go back again, the steak was what we went for and it was the star of the dish."

"My wife, fellow boating friends and I visited Tado Steakhouse at Treasure Island last weekend while staying at the marina for our annual Halloween event. We arrived early to our reservations and were able to get seated quickly. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful and cheerful, and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. There are a lot of steak and wine options and our waitress didn't steer us wrong. The steaks were cooked perfectly and all the food and beverages were great. The relaxing, upscale atmosphere makes you feel like you're anywhere BUT a casino. Tado is absolutely one of my top steakhouses and we'll definitely be back to enjoy another great experience in the future."

"I had a ribeye, Brussel sprouts with a side of shrimp scampi. I also ordered the French Onion Jus which was an amazing accoutrement to the entire meal. Ribeye was perfectly prepared. Brussel sprouts where also very good. I felt the spring were overdone but tasty all the same. Great meal after a long boat trip from Stillwater."
